Just Like She Knows What She’s Talking About

Sen. Gillibrand said Monday that new federal gun legislation has allowed authorities to prosecute hundreds of gun traffickers. [More]

Is it out of line to ask what “allows” the legislation?

Here’s the tax-funded propaganda the “real reporter” parroted from. And here’s the “report,” which on first glance appears to unintentionally confirm John Lott’s conclusions that concentrated Democrat crime areas do not justify blanket citizen disarmament.

And is Kirsten ever going to show us the answers she gave NRA when she was lying to them for an endorsement?

The Big Guy’s Taste

Question: Are Republicans sure they want Biden out of the way in the ’24 election or are they setting us up for a Pyrrhic victory?

Book ’em, Danno!

Visit your public libraries and request them: These books are expensive, but they are being purchased in libraries all over the world but few in the US. Why? Instead they are buying politically correct, feel-good and worthless books. Call your public library or better go there, visit them, request these books loaded with the information that they need to order these books for their readers. You need the title, author, publisher, and how they can acquire them. [More]

That’s the same recommendation I made with America, Guns, and Freedom:

Contact your local library. Find out if they carry America, Guns, and Freedom. If not, find out who you have to talk to in order to make that happen.

I wonder how many who benefit ffrom the work will take a few moments to help. Because I guarantee you that your library carries this book.

Standing Up to Thugs

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff and California Attorney General Rob Bonta challenging the constitutionality of carry permit issuance policies and laws that make it difficult, if not impossible, for citizens to obtain permits. Joining SAF are the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California and several private citizens. [More]

Put another way, they’re taking on the kingpin who knows where they live and local armed gang members.

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?

Thought Blockers

Denial of reality is a new lifestyle for those emerging from the Newthink mills of public education. [More]

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.

Word to the Wise

And he’s not warning him against the “greatest threat.”

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…
