Nation of Pinheads

Driving at ridiculous speeds should be physically impossible [More]

And firing guns… don’t forget firing guns!

Yeah, listen to the guy who says he “led economic development strategy under two mayors of Washington, DC,” as if that’s a plus.

Tell you what, Zippy, you control yourself and I’ll control me.

I’m not asking for agreement.

Delay of Game

Maryland’s “assault weapon” ban has been kicked back up by the panel for en banc review by the anti-gun Fourth Circuit, meaning it’s going to take the Supreme Court to sort this one out — and all they have to do to leave this gross denial of rights in place is nothing. [Watch]

The ‘C’ Word

The March 5 compromise comes after the House and Senate could not come to agreement on several provisions of the bill… [More]

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends upon what the meaning of the word “infringed” is.

Tangentially Related UPDATE

I am still holding out hope that a permitless carry bill of some stripe will pass the North Carolina General Assembly this spring. It will need a spending or fiscal component attached to it. We almost had it passed through the House of Representatives at the crossover deadline until opposition from the NRA caused Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) to pull the bill. [More]

Tell us more. Name names.

Stupid Party Vichycons Do It Again

Including defunding the pistol brace rule and the background check expansion EO, blocking red flag funds, and prohibiting funds to be used for “buybacks,” among other things…

The Enemies Within

“Understand that if active duty military actually get deployed within the United States, that weapon is not just going to be pointed at other people, other countries, it’s pointed at you.” [More]

And those will be real “weapons of war.”

Noting the differences in sheer numbers and the impossibility of containing them, I’d say there’s a meme in there somewhere, but I’m actually more concerned with how China and Russia would be taking advantage of Democrat-initiated hostilities, with no small amount of reliance on another group that outnumbers the military.

Because What Could Be Smarter Politics Than Laughing at Your Core Constituency Before the Primary?

GOP Ohio Sen Candidate Bernie Moreno Mocks Gun Owners: ‘Do You Really Need 100 Bullets?’ … Moreno, who former President Trump has endorsed… [More]

I feel another article coming on.

We’re the Only Ones Approximate Enough

Detective Gary Staab had wrongly obtained the warrant to search Johnson’s home because he did not point out that the app’s information is not precise and provides only a general location where a phone could be, the lawsuit said. [More]

Guess what the very first thing was that popped up when I went to check out the technology:

That’s some police work, fellas.

This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

Chaos reigned at the grand opening of Six Flags Over Georgia … with mobs of unruly teenagers fighting inside the theme park, escalating to a massive police response and an officer-involved shooting. [More]

Well, I know where I’m not going.

Something tells me “poverty” and “systemic racism” are the least of these kids’ problems.

What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been

A violent altercation overnight at a south St. Louis QuikTrip ends with a security guard shooting and killing a suspect after police say the suspect shot the guard. [More]

It feels like there’s more to this story, and the question of a retention holder seems like one corporate risk management should want to look into. I’m sure homicide is looking over the security footage to see how it all went down.

Manufactured Hysteria

Times Square is evacuated after GRENADE is found in back of Uber – as NYPD bomb squad say they struggled to reach explosive because crowds of anti-Israel protestors were blocking traffic [More]

Wow, “GRENADE” is all caps!

You have to scroll down through six paragraphs and several ads and photos to get to the lower-case word “inert.”

The real story here is left unacknowledged: This Israel/Hamas thing is a real schism for the Democrats.

I can’t wait for Chicago.

The Poll Tax Workaround

Maryland is among the states looking to follow California in taxing the gun industry to support hospitals, violence intervention programs, and services for victims of gun violence. [More]

All the best totalitarian regimes do it!

It’s not like Democrats are going to penalize the real cuprits: Their constituents and themselves.

Here’s the video of the hearing. Too bad it doesn’t have a transcript to allow homing in on specific “data” lies, and exposing those at the committee level is something funded “gun groups” ought to be putting resources into.

I did get one laugh out of this:

Chip is a reporter at The Trace…

Good one!
