Wrong Things on Trial

“The Fifth District’s ruling is a victory for The Buckeye Institute and its clients, and all residents of Columbus who want to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms. The ruling means Judge Gormley’s preliminary injunction barring the city from enforcing its unlawful gun magazine ban stands and that our clients will have their day in court.” [More]

When will the rights deniers under cover of false authority have THEIR day in court?

This comment left under my latest AmmoLand article is concise and insightful, and well worth the moment of your time it will take to read the whole thing.

Realizing this is a critical part of a plan, what does that tell us about those cold intellects behind it?

Record Gun Sales Not Necessarily a Mandate for Political Change

So, “we’re” winning? If you listen to some “gun pundits,” this shows the tide is turning and gives gun owners cause to celebrate. The enthusiasm would be more credible if there were some believable numbers showing new gun ownership will translate into votes against Democrats, the party of citizen disarmament, in enough numbers to eject the gun-grabbers from power and replace them with Second Amendment stalwarts.

Harvey Keitel’s NSFW “Well, let’s not start ******* **** *****’* ***** quite yet” line from Pulp Fiction comes to mind.

Native Soil

Wisco Dave sends:

Longtime friends may recall my ancestry is Transylvanian, and this reminds me of a small wooden box I keep on my fireplace mantle:

The story behind it is when we were still living in California my wife and I were friends with a Romanian priest, an interesting guy who used to be a member of the police under the communists and who had his own Road to Damaascus repentnance and conversion. We had him over for dinner one day and he told us he was going back to visit his mother and wanted to know if he could bring us back a souveneir.

First I told him “No,” because he didn’t make a lot of money, but then I reconsidered, and remembering the vampire legend asked him if he could bring back a bit of “native soil” from his mother’s garden. He brought it in that box and it wasn’t until he did that I realized I’d probably asked him to put himself at risk and violate U.S. agriculture law or some such by bringing it through customs.

I’ve given a pinch of native soil to many of my relatives to sprinkle in their gardens and incororate a bit of the Old Country. So far, we haven’t read of any Romanian bug infestations or crop blights as a result in the decades since.

And the thought strikes that by posting this, I may have just set myself up for a USDA SWAT raid. Isn’t that a thing to say about a government that’s whole purpose for existence is “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”?

Maybe some indignant Demanding Mom will report me…

Not Interested

Waiver of right of respondent Jay Robert Pritzker, et al. to respond filed. [More]

There’s some arrogance for ya. They figure they don’t have to answer for Illinois Supreme Court corruption. Let’s hope SCOTUS surprises them and decides to look into it.

I’m told there may be more action on this later in the week, and if so, will decide if I can address it here or if a longer article is needed.
