Use Your Imagination

We at the Colorado State Shooting Association (the NRA’s state association) have obtained a draft copy of the transparently tyrannical “Assault Weapons Ban” that politicians are preparing to introduce in the Colorado State House… It’s as bad as you could possibly imagine. [More]

I dunno… I can imagine pretty bad, and with the lessons of history, who needs to?

But as long as we’re invited to imagine, I’d like to fantasize about how deliberately undermining that which is “necessary to the security of a free State” could be a capital offense.

No Wonder They Made it a ‘Sensitive Area’

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is offering a sweetheart plea deal to a suspect charged in the brutal anti-Semitic beating of a Jewish man in Midtown, prosecutors confirmed. [More]

64/26 makes it awful hard for me to get worked up.

And forgive me for wondering if Waseem Awawdeh, Mahmoud Musa, Faisal Elezzi, and Mohammed Othman are really most accurately described as “Staten Island men” or if a better grouping might be under “rigorous.”

Stupid Is as Stupid Does

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) says he is “suspicious” of the classified docs that were found at Biden’s home and office. He suggests they might have been “planted” there to take Biden down. This is the same guy who said Guam might tip over and capsize in the ocean from overpopulation. [More]

No doubt he’s stupid enough to say that. But who would be stupid enough to believe it?

Oh…

Deal with the Devil

Now, a district judge has awarded a summary judgment against a Maryland Catholic hospital for refusing to remove the healthy uterus of a patient who identifies as male. But there is an unusual twist here that may not apply in other such cases being filed all over the country. St. Joseph’s is owned by the University of Maryland Health System, meaning it is a public hospital. [More]

Well, there’s your problem right there. What did they think would happen when they sold their souls?

Guncapo

David Cardenas, a gun owner who was headed to the target range at Shore Galleries, said he supports the assault weapons ban, although it won’t affect him because he doesn’t own them. “I’m glad they did it,” said Cardenas, a Chicago-based artist. He said the ban would prevent people with mental illness from purchasing the weapons. “So I think it’s a step in the right direction.”[More]

Hence my cautions…

If I owned Shore Galleries, I’d tell him to get the hell out.

We’re the Only Ones Settling Enough

The $8 million settlement between Mesa and Laney Sweet for the death of her husband has finally been funded, according to Sweet’s attorney. The settlement was originally reached back in November 2022, nearly seven years after former Mesa police Officer Philip “Mitch” Brailsford killed Daniel Shaver, shooting him five times in a hotel hallway in 2016. [More]

You remember…

Pretty sweet, when the payment for your murder comes from your victim pool.

I guess complaining about this makes me an idiot.

Still, this raises a question for me:

In 2018, it was confirmed by the Mesa Police Department that the U.S. Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into Brailsford, subpoenaing all documentation pertaining to the shooting. At this time, no information surrounding the investigation has been released, nor has the city provided an update into the matter.

Do you think that would be the case if Shaver had not been… do I dare say it?

Washington State Pile-On

The Assault on Our 2nd Amendment Rights [More]

I could spend time quibbling with that characterization, but the priority here is understanding the areas of attack:

  • HB-1240 has a long list of weapons that will be banned under this legislation.
  • HB-1178 – Concerning local government authority to regulate firearms.
  • HB-1143 – Concerning requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
  • HB-1144 – Enhancing requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
  • HB – 1240 – Establishing firearms-related safety measures to increase public safety.

They’re all over at the above link, plus Washington Gun Law details them out and points out the urgency for action. [Watch]

You’re Welcome: Illegals in NYC Tossing Free Food [More]

Hold our cervezas.

Building an entitled government-dependent Democrat voter base one in-your-face outrage at a time.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

And There Was War in Heaven

His talk at McGill University in Canada titled “The Sex vs. Gender (Identity) Debate In the United Kingdom and the Divorce of LGB from T Event” ended abruptly after about 100 demonstrators “stormed the room … unplugged the projector and threw flour at the speaker, and the walls inside the faculty building were vandalized as well”… [More]

Thanks, Mensheviks. Us Bolsheviks will take it from here.

If at First You Don’t Succeed

It looks like Roxanne Persaud is trying to resurrect her bill to limit ammunition for “assault weapons.” (There’s nothing I could find about this yet on her website or social media feeds, or the NY State Senate’s legislative search feature.)

Remember when she tried in 2015 for “rational ammunition control”– with Tucker pal Eric Adams at her side raving about “blood-soaked carnage” and “When terrorists seek – and succeed – to take advantage of our loose laws to murder innocent people”? And how, after attempting to pass an edict so enforcers could use up to lethal force to eviscerate the right to arms that she played the victim and called NRA’s announcement picture (above) a threat proving NRA is dangerous and violent?

That’s just what Americans who won’t surrender their birthright need– a refugee from Guyana dictating to them what they may and may not own. I wonder how her native land’s prohibition on homosexuals acts would play with her current constituents — and if she’s so damn “progressive,” why she’s not leading the charge for reforms there?

UPDATE

Speak, Friend, and Enter

The Arizona legislature is now in session and AzCDL will soon be sending out Action Alerts regarding important bills that will be heard in committee. The Request to Speak (RTS) system is one of the most effective ways to let your voice be heard in the legislature! [More]

Like the anthem says, “lift every voice”…

Hairy Squatter and the Deathly Swallows

Flom added, however, that “after J.K Rowling’s views on people like me came out, it left a bad taste in my mouth.” [More]

Uh, you sure that’s what did it…?

And like this changes anything.

Is there anything “progressives” engage in that doesn’t involve denying reality?
