It wasn’t always this way. And it doesn’t need to stay this way. [More]
Correct– back in the days before GCA 68 prior restraints, the Brady bill, the Clinton gun ban, “red flag” laws, etc. etc. it was practically unheard of.

About that ‘Epidemic of Gun Violence’…
At least 12 people, including six juveniles, were injured in a shooting near Florida A&M University’s Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee on Saturday night, authorities said. [More]
If there’s nothing else they can tell us about those involved, I guess we’re all equally at risk of behaving that way and therefore just can’t be trusted with guns, right?
Tallahassee police arrest 15-year-old suspect after shooting near Florida A&M football stadium
If only they’d disarm you and me, right, Giffords? (“Only some accounts can reply”!)
Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Republic
On the other hand, however, Cohen agreed to film a scene at a gun rights rally for the second “Borat” film, knowing there was a chance he could be shot, but said, “I felt it was an important film to be made.” [More]
NOT!:
Mass casualty or fatal shootings directly inside a dedicated Second Amendment/pro-gun rally are rare to non-existent in national statistics.
As anyone who has ever attended an NRA Annual Meeting, SHOT Show or Gun Rights Policy Conference can attest. Same for smaller, freelance operations where we were armed to the teeth and sheep were bleating “Murderers!” at us…
“Gun violence” protests, on the other hand…
So someone who’s recounting all the death-defying stunts he’s pulled for the sake of his films is p!$$!ng down his leg over this?

About ‘Our Democracy’
A Republic Not a Democracy from the April 18, 1966 Dan Smoot Report. [Watch]
[Via George K]
Now, with the midterms looming, is a good time to recall “Democracy Has Been Destroying the 2nd Amendment” and share the link far and wide, because, as we’ve seen, the Keepers don’t want the illusion exposed.
I wonder how may will.

Return to Talos IV
The nation’s Big Four news aggregators, Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News and Microsoft MSN actively suppress facts that reflect anything from a “right-wing” source, according to a new study. [More]
Tell me about it.
I’m told my latest AmmoLand News piece is doing comparatively well as far as site visits go. Now put the words “Wi-Fi Gun Detection System” into the Google search bar and click on the “News” tab.
It’s being confined to a cage, with little chance of reaching minds that will otherwise never consider anything but the illusion the Keepers place there.
If you wonder why the site is asking for help, it’s all in the algorithm.
That’s no surprise to me.
Communism 101
Trump’s corporate stakes are a gift to the next Democratic president …The Trump administration has now announced or completed deals to take ownership stakes in 40 private companies… And yet congressional Republicans, who never miss a chance to tag Democrats as socialists and communists, have collectively done nothing to stop the Trump administration. [More]
What’s it called again when “the collective” controls the means of production…?
That certainly complicates my argument that it’s important to vote against socialists.
Relevant comment for 2A advocates to consider:
Can you trumpers imagine the US government owning 45% stock in all of the gun companies.
They’d sure cause more disruption than a handful of Marxist nuns.

Vivek’s self-immolation and the rise of Hudson ANTIFA makes me fear the state going blue.
Let’s hope on November 4 you can all make fun of me for being dead wrong.

Acculturation Clash
El-Sayed’s papers often argued that “acculturation,” an academic term for adopting a nation’s values and ways of life, causes the health of Arabs in America to decline. [More]
What were you guys saying about “trust in assimilation” again…?
That’s not the plan, you dopes. It’s never been the plan ever since Hart-Celler.
And now, a “Democrat” who’s a contender for the Senate is saying it out loud.
The intent is for them to assimilate us.
On the Sunni Side of the Street
Gunmen killed at least seven people and wounded dozens at a church in southern Jordan on Friday, authorities said, with the king vowing retaliation for the rare attack on Christians in the majority Sunni Muslim kingdom. [More]
Wonder what would happen if the dreaded “Christian Nationalists” opened fire on a Muslim funeral here…
Probably demands to pass sentiment-based bans, with Democrats being the arbiter of what’s “hateful.”
So Much for Welcoming the Stranger

A Right Delayed
Presidential pardon recipients still barred from buying guns – Neither Patrick “Tate” Adamiak nor Pastor Russell Fincher can buy firearms… “The 4473 goes to the FBI. Anyone who gets a denial on a background check gets denied by the FBI”… The FBI requires members of the media to submit their question via email. Questions were sent Friday morning, but so far, the agency has not called or sent a response. [More]
I gotta tell ya, this Patel guy certainly hasn’t been filling me with confidence that all the promises about how great he’d be will be fulfilled.
All it would take is one phone call from him.
Here Come the Judge!
Judge Henry Wingate just received the most vicious benchslap I’ve ever seen in an appellate opinion: “The district court—or perhaps, being charitable, its AI agent—ignored and manipulated governing law, apparently to satisfy a policy agenda.” He was removed from the case. [More]
It’s all good. Just say his critics are racists.
It’s not like Democrats will let him be impeached or anything.

Breach of ‘Social Contract’
What they couldn’t do is mess with the Bill of Rights. Doing that wouldn’t modify the Constitution within its own premises, it would legally and morally blow the entire constitutional charter to smithereens. [More]
I guess we’d then find out how many of us are serious.
Maybe three percent…? (God bless ya, Mike. You left us with hope and perspective in nervous times anticipating trouble.)

We’re the Only Ones Raging Enough
The ex-cop charged with gunning down a beloved Con Ed worker in a road-rage encounter on the George Washington Bridge was a driver for the wealthy CEO of an investment company – and was behind the wheel of the company’s Range Rover SUV at the time. [More]

Survey SAYS…
Polls Show Electorate’s Interest in Gun Control Waning [More]
What a bunch of wishful thinking happy talk. The perception of importance will change with the next high profile shooting and resulting media emphasis based on who the shooter is.
The question to ask is “How many support gun control and how many oppose it?”
