Teenage Wasteland

16-year-old Darien Harris, who was charged as an adult, was sentenced to life in prison with the first eligibility for parole after 20 years. [More]

So it’s not life in prison, is it?

No worries. I’m sure anyone feral, cowardly, and retarded enough to indiscriminately fire into a group who is then immersed for decades in a brutal survival culture with like-minded beasts will be trustworthy again at age 38.

Thumbs Down on Activism

[More]

Too bad, because it’s a knee-jerk assessment on a great comment I agree with, and represents the kind of self-motivated activism I wish more readers would take on themselves to engage in. Otherwise what’s the point of reading the article?

It’s disappointing but hardly surprising. Grudges and squabbles appear to take precedence over unity in purpose and shoulders to the wheel, and that’s got to be encouraging to the antis.

It’s fair to wonder how many of the down-voters — who would be big potential beneficiaries if they helped instead of harassed — spent even so much as the second it took them to click a thumbs down on promoting the Earle-Sears campaign and telling NRA and Trump to get off the stick.

And that’s why I don’t think Trump finally-kinda-sorta coming on board was due to “2A supporters tagging him on X about Virginia.” Nobody has been writing about this but me, and I can tell you from the lack of comments and shares I’ve seen, this has been one of the biggest echo chamber pieces I’ve ever written.

(And yeah, I see comment links don’t scroll you to the exact one and nothin’ I can do about that, but the ones I’m citing are easy enough to find.)

We’re the Only Ones Ringing Enough

Law enforcement agencies will soon have easier access to footage captured by Amazon’s Ring smart cameras. In a partnership announced this week, Amazon will allow approximately 5,000 local law enforcement agencies to request access to Ring camera footage via surveillance platforms from Flock Safety. Ring’s cooperation with law enforcement and the reported use of Flock technologies by federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has resurfaced privacy concerns that have followed the devices for years.

Hey, if you have nothing to hide and haven’t done anything wrong, what’s the problem?

If so, they ain’t talking yet.

UPDATE

Won’t the antis be able to use this on discontinued models as an admission?

Demand Commonsense Foot Safety Laws!

Staffer at Mass. school dies after assault by student, DA says – Amy Morrell, 53, was kicked in the chest while attempting to restrain a girl trying to leave a dorm building without permission, prosecutors said. [More]

With the scourge of foot violence it’s time we asked ourselves why civilians need assault feet, that is, extremities of war designed to quickly stomp people, and why anyone but police need patrol feet.

Looks like I need to add another trust criterion.

A Face in the Crowd

Nicholas has a question.

At least Obama supporter Toby Keith is no longer available.

Or Lee “I’m proud to be an American, just not an NRA supporter” Greenwood and Larry “outdated and ill-thought-out positions regarding firearms in AMERICA” Gatlin…

Any bets on NRA Country events taking place in “gun-free” venues like the Keith concert? Maybe Bill Engvall can do the warm-up act.

Curious priorities here, focusing on a niche within a niche genre dominated by overprivileged anti-gunners as phony in caring about their “fans” as Lonesome Rhodes. I guess in this case it means money coming in.

Maybe we need to get Winsome a banjo.

Let the Door Hit Ya

Not so proud to be American — ‘fed up’ expats renounce citizenship [More]

They sound like guns wouldn’t do ’em much good anyway:

What a goose-like fool:

“This government is so vindictive,” the man said. “It’s such a changed country from the one I left behind.”

Yeah, cancel culture did flourish under Biden. The sanctimonious weakling oughta feel right at home with the Brit government threatening to prosecute Americans who run afoul of the speech tyranny it imposes on its subjects.

After all, they lead the world!

Con Artist

Great. One Lincoln Project founder is a serial homosexual predator and the identifies with communists. Here’s all you need to know about these political infections.

This useful idiot will be one of the first ones lined up at the lime pit if the Bolsheviks take over and decide they no longer need him, which won’t take long. Funny, the hatred he has for those who stand in the way of that.

NRA and President Trump Can Determine Whether Virginia Goes to Earle-Sears or the Democrats

Deserving gun owners now want better of President Trump, and it’s not hyperbole to conclude that if he—and NRA—don’t do a lot more, and quickly, Virginia could be lost to the Democrats. [More]

NRA: You owe it to your members to allocate the necessary manpower and funding resources to follow the comprehensive plan you’ve been given. President Trump:You owe it to the gun-owning voters who elected you to put your personal resentments aside and endorse her.

Lest Ye Be Judged

Some of the comments Judge Berry allegedly made included “Rest in Hatred & Division,” “How’s he feel about gun violence & gun control in Hell now,” as well as a remark celebrating the race of the killer, saying, “So, a white guy killed him! Color it KARMA!” [More]

So, he’s basically like a Committee of Public Safety “judge” from the French Revolution.

How is every case that’s come before him not up for a redo?

Forget kicking him off the bench– I’m going to see what the procedure is to file a bar complaint and kick him out of the profession.

A First-Time Gun Owner

The gun, which is legal to own in California, will be the first firearm registered in Newsom’s name, his spokesperson Izzy Gardon confirmed. [More]

Maybe something good emerged from Shawn Ryan’s suckfest after all.

See, years ago, I became suspicious when the notoriously phony Newsom made a claim to convince union Fudds he was one of them:

“I’m a hunter,” Newsom told the union crowd when a man in the audience grumbled about his support for gun control. Newsom, who in his younger days shot lizards with a rifle on visits to his father’s place in the Sierra foothills, said he has hunted ducks and enjoys skeet shooting, but nonetheless supports background checks for gun owners. The hunting might surprise some of Newsom’s fans on Twitter, where he skewers the National Rifle Assn…

So, per the email embedded in that link, I wrote to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife under the Public Records Act, asking for copies of all hunting license//tags issued to him.

They shined me on, told me”the law” said they didn’t have to. Which is fine, I wouldn’t want my records handed out so I can’t grouse about that. But still, it opens up a big question for Gavin and Izzy:

Whose gun did he use?

One more question, actually:

While this specific loan exemption allows you to give the firearm directly to a licensed hunter, it is crucial to ensure they are not prohibited from possessing firearms. If you are not an individual who can loan a firearm under an exemption (like a spouse, parent, child, etc.), and the loan is not for hunting, the transfer must go through a licensed firearm dealer for a background check.

Enquiring minds want to know…
