About Last Night

I hate to spoil all the rave reviews from “our side,” but he said not one word about the Second Amendment. [More]

Why?

Biden had no problem attacking it.

Republicans are quick to pledge their “staunch 2A supporter” creds when the audience is just us gun owners, but when it comes to the Republic as a whole they avoid it. My guess is most of them don’t really understand it well enough to use their position as a bully pulpit, to champion it and educate their constituents on why it is such an important shared right. That absolutely needs to change, and the “gun lobby” needs to step up its game to teach them how and make clear it’s an expectation.

If gun owners let them take us for granted, they will.

Working in the president’s favor: The Democrats were sour-faced and seething. I doubt many of their voters’ minds were changed though, and that’s especially puzzling because the working class was presented with a lot of reasons why their economic interests have been, are, and will be better served by the Republican agenda.

I will give Trump credit for what may be a powerful and useful meme if the Republicans are smart enough to use it:

If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

Republicans should show their Democrat opponent who did not stand as part of their midterm campaign. It won’t work against treasonous communists like Omar and Tlaib who “represent” demographically-engineered parasite districts, but it could be an effective reminder in closer races.

A minor image criticism: An aide should have quietly taken him aside and straightened his hair before he entered the chamber. The left side looked like somebody took a leaf blower to it. The night was, after all, ultimately about image.

A self-inflicted vulnerability:

I’ve always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I’m not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn’t know why I’d be taking it.

I’d expect someone like Mark Kelly to have a field day with that one, and for the DSM to amplify it. Then again, Kelly did not stand.

We’re the Only Ones Provoked Enough

“While off duty and driving home in his personal vehicle, the officer was stalked by this individual to a local gas station. The agitator confronted the officer, filmed him at close range, and recorded the officer’s personal license plate,” the spokesperson continued, noting that Held’s actions were “clear attempts to dox” the officer. [More]

Yeah, sorry, the leftist is definitely a whiny @$$hole, but you can’t lay hands.

Unless I can, too, if similarly provoked.

Sometimes I think you should probably be able to, as satisfying as being able to grab one of these weenies by the lapels and head butting some sense into his face might seem, but that would open up a whole ‘nother can of worms.

Best to not escalate to there. Especially if you have a badge.

This is Going Too Far, Boss

Gonzales has repeatedly denied the affair and has characterized allegations about their relationship as politically motivated attacks tied to his contested Republican primary race. [More]

Well, we already know he’s a liar…

Some of these “Republicans” seem bound and determined to hand the House over to the Democrats…

Go Get ’em, Boys!

“It allows the president to contract out to privateers and go after the cartels,” Burchett said. “These would be top-tier operators, SEALs, Special Forces, Marine Raiders and commando types. Some are still working as private operators. It allows private citizens to act against the cartels. [More]

With what?

And who insures, especially for collateral damage?

“4% chance of being enacted“…

Boy, You’re Gonna Carry That Weight

LAWYER: MASSIVE Court Case That Could Make It Illegal To Carry ANYWHERE! [More]

My initial instinct was to dismiss that title as just more gunfluencer clickbait hyperbole, but he’s right. If Republicans blow the midterms and Democrats take the presidency in ’28, this is just what they’ll do, and they’ll have the federal court/SCOTUS confirmations to make it so.

Thing is, making something “illegal” is not the same as taking away rights.

Surrendering them or not is a personal choice we each must make.

Rope-Selling Capitalists

“I’m very uncomfortable with that. I think regressive tax is immoral,” he added… “So, the tariff which falls on us becomes a regressive tax falling on the folks on the lower end of the economic spectrum.” [More]

It’s not like he deals in necessities– that just means people need to live within their means. And funny– you don’t hear most gun owners say the same thing about Pittman-Robertson.

As far as price-raising tariffs (and sales taxes) go, I’d argue that everyone paying for what they buy is more equitable than income taxes. The “rich,” who buy more, pay more. Allowing those who take without paying for government “entitlements” and services to vote is a sure way to guarantee “majority rule democracy” will demand free rides until the mule drops. Just as taxation without representation is intolerable, so is representation without it.

There’s a reason the Founders provided for tariffs and disallowed income taxes.

But this isn’t about politics. Honest.

“We’re not for Mr. Trump or against Mr. Trump, we’re against the misapplication of law,” he told FOX Business.

Don’t tell us, tell Open Secrets and the company’s Democrat exclusivity.

My favorite is this guy:

“This Bratz is right now a number one selling toy…” Larian said. “They are made in China right now, and they sell for $25. There is no way to make that in America and if it was, it would be $50 instead of $25.”

What, the price might go up for pouty-lipped protoslut dolls designed to sexualize little girls? The ones that exalt lesbianism and that aren’t sold in China? Could that be because its slave labor-providing government knows better than to allow imperialist running dogs to groom their children?

If the communists these trait… uh … traders enable ever take over, who thinks the dictatorship of the proletariat they establish will favorably recall the bourgeoisie who paved the way for them when it’s lime pit time?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

In striking down President Trump’s tariffs under the IEEPA, the Supreme Court’s explanation of the distinction between congressional power to tax versus the power to regulate provides a great precedent to help win our 2A and NFA fights moving forward. [Watch]

So, that’s what we call a “silver lining”…?

‘Non-Dangerous Felon’ Opinion Leaves More Immediate Danger Unresolved

The late Robert J. Kukla made a brilliant observation in his 1973 classic, Gun Control, equating the release of violent misfits from prison with opening the cage of a man-eating tiger and expecting a different result. [More]

Anyone who can’t be trusted with a gun can’t be trusted without a custodian.
