Damned if They Do, Damned if They Don’t

Sutherland Springs shooting survivors say DOJ appeal damages gun safety laws [More]

$230M or political posturing… tough choice.

Remember what it took to get relevant records released?

Funny, how it’s just those who survived on luck — and not on getting a gun and stopping the maniac — that are most upset.

The Old Correlation/Causation Scam

Almost 8,000 US shootings attributed to unseasonable heat – study [More]

Talk about crying out for some commonsense weather safety laws! And now if you’ll excuse me, I need to buy some ice cream and rape somebody.

Besides, I thought paddling and prayer would fix this.

A Band-Aid Approach

Former NFL Player Jack Brewer: School Gun Violence Won’t End Until Paddle & Prayer Return [Watch]

I had a teacher try to hit me once in high school. I blocked it and told him if he wanted to hit me he’d have to call my Dad first to get permission.

Yes, I realize the young worthies Brewer is referring to may not know who to tell the teacher to call, but I can’t help feeling assigning corporal punishment powers to public school union leftists is an invitation to abuse and to more insidious “hands-on” experiences.

That, and who gets to lead the “prayer”?

There are alternatives beyond trying cosmetic fixes on an intentionally corrupt system. Yeah, I know “progressives” do their best to undermine those alternatives.

There is a way to if not stop, then greatly reduce “school gun violence,” but the same subversives that are mass-producing sexually confused and politically brainwashed victims don’t want to hear it.

‘No, No!’ Said the Queen. ‘Sentence First — Verdict Afterwards.’*

The Cuyahoga County case came after Delvonte Philpotts was indicted in 2017 on charges of rape, kidnapping and assault. Prosecutors later dropped those charges, but before they did, Cleveland police found pictures Philpotts posted to social media showing him standing outside his home with a pistol. Police got a search warrant, found the gun in Philpotts’ home, and arrested him for violating a state law banning people under indictment from having a firearm. [More]

“Four Republican judges,” eh?

From what I’ve been able to glean, and if there’s not more than one person with that rather unique name, Delvonte may not exactly be the poster child for unalienable rights. That said, if this can catch him up it can catch you and me up, and I want to know what my “pro-gun” state senator intends to do about it.

“Probable cause” for the search warrant also seems kind of hinky without knowing when the photo was taken and whether or not it was a replica firearm. And that said, leave self-incrimination on social media to the morons.

A Matter of Life or Death

Their interest could be a “win-win”: billionaires tempted by the idea of living ever longer fund a longevity field that would not thrive without them. [More]

So the controlling elites are afraid of dying?

Good to know.

Since they’re all woke, and since there’s not room for everybody, I’m sure we’ll have token longevity equity…?

The Keys to the Kingdom

For the fourth time since 2007, an internal audit shows the Department of Homeland Security isn’t deactivating access cards in the hands of ex-employees, leaving its secure facilities vulnerable to intruders. [More]

Their name is what’s known as an oxymoron.

Then again, it doesn’t seem much of a stretch to assume there are evil minds behind letting disposable incompetents believe themselves to be in charge.

Wholly Inadequate

“We gotta get back to teaching there is a right or wrong or, I agree with everybody here, we’re going to have to get rid of the Second Amendment, we’re going to have to get rid of Freedom of Speech, we’re going to have to get rid of freedom of assembly,” Gohmert said. “This Constitution won’t work the way we are teaching children.” [More]

Not that doing those things will actually invalidate the rights they articulate, but like Mr. Adams warned us…

Adventures in Baselessness

In contrast, a little-known case that appeared recently on the Court docket could do just that. The case of Brunson v. Adams, not even reported in the mainstream media, was filed pro se by ordinary American citizens – four brothers from Utah — seeking the removal of President Biden and Vice President Harris, along with 291 U.S. representatives and 94 U.S. senators who voted to certify the electors to the Electoral College on Jan. 6, 2021 without first investigating serious allegations of election fraud in half a dozen states and foreign election interference and breach of national security in the 2020 presidential election. The outcome of such relief would presumably be to restore Donald Trump to the presidency. [More]

Wake me when SCOTUS agrees to hear it.

Setting the Stage

JAIL PELOSI: Feds and Media Now Claim There Was a Mysterious Website Discovered on Dec. 20 with Over 500 Pages of Threats and Discussions of Killing Lawmakers and Terrorism on Jan. 6 – And We Are JUST NOW HEARING THIS?? [More]

“What website?” indeed. And “whose?”

I don’t suppose any low-hanging fruit provocateurs were involved…?

With all the cover they get from the DSM, you gotta wonder if there’s any Reichstag fire they don’t think they can set and get away with.

Unsettled ‘Science’

Did the assault weapons ban of 1994 bring down mass shootings? Here’s what the data tells us [More]

There IS no reliable data, you agenda-driven junk science dope, which doesn’t stop you from getting everybody stirred up when you know full well most will never read your screed down far enough to see this admission:

It is also important to note that our analysis cannot definitively say that the assault weapons ban of 1994 caused a decrease in mass shootings, nor that its expiration in 2004 resulted in the growth of deadly incidents in the years since.

The only “compelling state interest” here is a disarmed citizenry enabling a totalitarian monopoly of violence.

Tournament of Poses

On Dec. 7, 1941—less than a month before the game was set to kick off—the Japanese navy bombed Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War II. Due to widespread fear regarding another attack on the West Coast by Japan, the federal government banned large gatherings in that region of the country, including the Rose Bowl and the accompanying Rose Parade. [More]

And now its parade has been led by someone who wants the government to confiscate American rifles from behind every blade of grass (unsubstantiated quote notwithstanding).

Under Consideration

David M. Greco, Petitioner v. Matthew J. Platkin, Attorney General of New Jersey, et al… Dec 28 2022 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/13/2023. [More]

This is a FOURTH AMENDMENT challenge to New Jersey’s “red flag” law based on unconstitutional search and seizure…

Lest Ye Be Judged

A Missouri judge has ruled that a pardon from the governor doesn’t mean the St. Louis lawyer and his wife who gained national attention for waving guns at racial injustice protesters in 2020 should get back the weapons they surrendered and fines they paid after guilty pleas last year. [More]

She just wishes she could do more.

The Girlfriend Loophole

The Petitioner who filed for the Extreme Risk Protection Order was the estranged boy friend of the Respondent who was a licensed gun owner in New York State … The Court also pointed out that there was a Family Court case also going on in which The Petitioner had an Order of Protection against him which among other things barred him from the home that they had shared. [More]

Sounds like it should have been called the Stalker Protection Act…

To Themselves and Their Posterity

A pregnant mom crossed the Rio Grande decades ago to give her unborn child a better life. Now her daughter is becoming a member of Congress [More]

And guess what she wants:

Ask not what we can do for your country, ask what your country can do for us.

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

Oh, look: Here comes a new batch of Democrats!
