Underpants Gnome Security

“[Security guards] are not there to protect the product,” said Joseph Stein, director of asset protection solutions for Walgreen, during the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce “Anti-Crime Summit” on Thursday. “They are there to de-escalate [a situation] and to protect the customer and the employees,” he added.

I remember that episode!

Phase One: Unarmed Guards

Phase Two: ?

Phase Three: Protection!

The Family that Slays Together Stays Together

Pennsylvania police say family of three found dead in their backyard had a murder-suicide pact, daughter had posted bizarre videos online [More]

About as good a reason to disarm you and me as I’ve seen…

I couldn’t watch the entire video, or rather, I didn’t want to. There was no point.

Meanwhile, Over in Al Capone’s Vault…

A “real reporter.”

Rivera, a gun owner, was illustrating that the Second Amendment didn’t cover modern firearms capable of mass killings when the amendment was ratified in 1791. And that AR-15-style rifles go far beyond self-defense. [More]

Ah, the long-debunked “The Founders could have never imagined” bullsh!+.

Figures this moron would be spreading it.

I recall writing an Examiner article years back where a guy was prosecuted for having a muzzleloader in New York City. I can’t find it now and don’t recall the details, but it would be funny if Geraldo incriminated himself.

How he got it in the studio is another question.

And figures, HuffPo would think he won the argument.

For the Children

U.S. Senate Democrats call for probe into ‘JR-15’ child-size rifle [More]

Because “commonsense gun safety” demands young people be denied development-appropriate training and remain utterly ignorant if a firearm is present.

Every one of the scumbag politicians in that photo is an opportunistic collectivist traitor and whore.

A Billion Here, a Billion There…

Senator Cory Booker was questioned by viewers after claiming to have witnessed more deaths from gun violence in his lifetime than “all of our wars combined.” Booker made the specious claims during an appearance with “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. [More]

And “A-rated” Joe Scarborough didn’t correct him?

Mitigating Circumstances

Concerned staff warned administrators at a Virginia elementary school three times that a 6-year-old boy had a gun and was threatening other students in the hours before he shot and wounded a teacher, but the administration “was paralyzed by apathy” and didn’t call police, remove the boy from class or lock down the school, the wounded teacher’s lawyer said Wednesday. [More]

In fairness, it’s not like he bit the shape out of a Pop-Tart or anything…

‘Our Bad’

“The Q&A currently listed on the eforms account is incorrect. In this scenario, the registered owner of the NFA weapon is co-located with the firearm and thus no transfer has occurred… [More]

That’s some review and approval process they must have there…

Our Diversity Makes Us Stronger?

Then why are they doing this?

Another proposal would remove outdated language from the government’s current racial and ethnic data policy, including “Negro” as a term to describe the “Black” category…

Somebody wanna tell these folks…?

And when are they going to add boxes for the 31 flavors or however many there are these days…?

Subjective Truths

I’m vaccinated. Everyone I know is vaccinated. Not one single person has had any complications or has been hospitalized. Like this tweet if you are vaccinated and have not had any issues. [More]

Meanwhile, this is true for me: I’m a gun owner. Everyone I know is a gun owner. Not one single person has been shot. Share this post if you are a gun owner and have not had any issues.

I wonder if you wrapped a towel around your head if she’d be able to see you…?

Demand for ‘Commonsense Gun Laws’ is the Road to Citizen Disarmament

We’ve seen the same list before and we know that citizen disarmament has always been and remains the goal. [More]

Right out of the “progressive” totalitarian apologist playbook: Dust off the same old sh!+ and present it as new–all the while masking what you really want and counting on a critical mass of useful idiots to believe it’s for their own good.

We’re the Only Ones Hysterical Enough

“It turns a semi-automatic firearm into, essentially, a machine gun,” explained Estevan. “So, instead of one round being discharged from a firearm with the single pull of the trigger, when the switch is installed onto a firearm, you’re looking at 1,200 rounds with the single pull of the trigger within a minute.” [More]

Sounds like you need a massage there, SAC Estevan.

Did you tell them you’d need a magazine, what, 40 feet long…?

That’ll Teach ’em!

Creighton University will not remove its ban on pro-Second Amendment posters despite a student libertarian group fighting over the last several months to overturn the policy on First Amendment grounds. [More]

If it’s a private university, then it’s not really 1A, is it? A better question might be why are they patronizing it?

Not the Only ‘Hunter’ Evading Scrutiny

Judge Jeanine destroys Newsom over 2nd Amendment diss [Watch]

Maybe she’s learned, but I’ve still never heard her apologize for past disses of her own.

As for the guy who says “clip” (Jesse Waters, right? I just never watch the show), there’s a reason he can’t find an online photo of Gavin Newsom hunting.

I’m sure I wrote the Fish & Wildlife rejection up but can’t for the life of me find it right now. Perhaps it’s in my old Oath Keepers archive, and since the site itself is only available via the Wayback Machine, doing a search is problematic.

A New York State of Mind

2 arrested in death of 11-year-old girl who was shot after buying milk at corner store… Two of the three suspects believed to be involved in the Jan. 16 shooting, an 18-year-old man and a 20-year-old man, were arrested … The third suspect, a 16-year-old, is known to police and is a resident at a juvenile facility in the New York City area, where he was placed by a family court judge … He was “on a furlough from the facility”… [More]

Tell me this isn’t the best argument you’ve ever heard for disarming you and me.

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

Potentially lethal force may require defensive deadly force by Miguel A. Faria, MD [More]

Now is a good time to reacquaint ourselves with this 2016 classic from a medical expert who is also a champion of freedom.

You have his book(s), right?

This is kind of a side note that goes way off track, but all this information about cerebral contusions and subdural hematomas brings up an observation I had just last night while treating myself to reruns of Maverick on Tubi. He got knocked out twice in one episode with a gun butt, a trope that came up time and again on TV shows of the period, and that I recall was a pretty consistent plot device on this show in particular. That the “heroes” weren’t routinely killed or at least permanently disabled or vegetative tells us a bit about taking what we get from Hollywood seriously. Especially when they’re doing undisclosed bidding.

It also suggests where Rob may have gotten his “shoot-to-wound” nonsense from, and that brings me back full circle.

I’ll listen to a real expert.

A Trainer Wreck

But when Rob Pincus told FOX News he supported Biden’s ideas, even shooting a shotgun out a door to scare away bad guys, it was too much. Even with Pincus’ previous statements calling for more gun control, he had crossed the Rubicon. There was no going back. [More]

He crossed the Rubicon for me when he came unglued and went all ad hominem over questioning one of his fellow trainers supporting Hillary. He secured his position in the enemy camp when he teamed up with one of its leaders and then joined up with the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.

That makes his allies subject to scrutiny too, in my book. They’re the ones who advise ignoring the greatest threat.

The thing is, he doesn’t care about burning bridges. He knows he can continue to make a good living off of Gun Culture 2.0, where useful idiots have their “allowed” guns, for now, as they witlessly vote in rulers aiming to change that as soon as they think they can.

UPDATE

In the interests of fairness, TTAG directs us to the documentation of incomplete quotes.

That has no bearing on my observations.
