A Very Sound Policy Redux

“The board’s amendment fortifies existing gun-safety measures by allowing only certified law enforcement officers and those with an approved educational or research purpose to possess a firearm on university grounds,” the board announced. [More]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

EXTREME CAUTION APPROPRIATE WHEN CONSIDERING SUPPORT OF A NEW “ADVOCACY” GROUP THAT APPEARED SUDDENLY IN TENNESSEE. [More]

I’ve dealt with Dorr entities in other states before, one case in point, Iowa.

I recommend assessing what groups say, what they accomplish, and how they spend their resources, then supporting those in line with your principles and goals.

If anyone has specifics they want to add to this, that’s why I have “Comments.”

From the Party of Intolerant Fascists

Nearly Half of Democrats Believe Free Speech Should Be Legal ‘Only Under Certain Circumstances’- “A bare majority of Democrats (53%) say speech should be legal under any circumstances, while 47% say it should be legal ‘only under certain circumstances.’” [More]

I wonder what kind of compromise Republicans could offer…?

Forbidden Observations

Foreigners Commit 69% Of Robberies, Violent Crimes & Sexual Assaults On Public Transport… However, looking closer at the data, it is revealed that Africans alone are responsible for 52 percent of such crimes while only representing 3.2 percent of the population of France. [More]

Are you allowed to say that?

Fortunately, the government knows just what to do!

Loudmouthed, Hateful, and Stupid is No Way to Go Through Life

MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Friday on “Deadline” that he believed a “lack” of gun legislation in the United States was a civil rights issue because society was “arming bigots.” [More]

Keep following “leaders” like this and failure is guaranteed.

We’re the Only Ones Just Following Orders Enough

But Naquin didn’t show up for court. Not once, but twice. Finally, Naquin showed up the third time he was supposed to appear and spoke about why he ignored the subpoena. “The (THP) district captain told me not to come to court per his orders,” Naquin said on the stand [More]

It’s almost like the whole damn system is corrupt…

So What’s the Problem?

IMPACTS OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS’ EXTREME CR…Nearly 70 fewer Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents, who are often some of the first federal law enforcement on the scene of a mass shooting to help local law enforcement identify at-large shooters—and 13 furlough days for ATF’s entire workforce [More]

Cutting 800 Border agents sounds bad, but they don’t let them guard the border anyway. A lot of the other stuff is Marxist wealth redistribution…

Watch them use the reduction in FBI personnel to try to delay NICS approvals and then work around the 3-day background check timeout to retroactively go after transfers…

Trump a Prohibited Person?

If Trump had bought the glock, [sic] there would have been questions about the legality of him buying it. [More]

Possibly. Even though ATF doesn’t list it, [CORRECTION: They cite it under the list] there’s the 18 U.S.C. § 922 prohibition (assuming you can navigate through the amendments) but then there’s the Texas judge’s Quiroz ruling

Beats me. If I were him I wouldn’t let anyone photograph me holding a gun without advice of counsel. I wonder if that will be used against him.

But by assuming he would have tried to buy it at the SC gun shop without having it go to an FFL in his state, they apparently missed the main question.

A False Argument

Acosta repeatedly asked Norman how Republicans planned to secure the border if there is a government shutdown and said, “I guess I don’t understand that.” [More]

HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO WORK IF IT’S RESTRAINED BY THE CONSTITUTION…???

Disregarding for a moment that there’s such a thing as priorities and it’s not like the powers that be are just going to tell the military to go home, there’s a whole ‘nother deliberately unused resource that those same powers have a vested interest in ignoring…
