Either This or the Chain Gang…

Within minutes of being released from police custody for a string of crimes, a man was back out there again, committing more crimes in Bellingham, police said. [More]

He obviously can’t be trusted without a custodian. So if they’re going to let him out, make him wear a brightly colored identifying jumper with movement-retarding hand and leg manacles, and a GPS locator and beeper that activate when he leaves his home and don’t shut off until he returns.

And he’s got to pay rent on them.

I suggest this only because the Eight Amendment won’t allow us to outsource punishment for chronic theft to the Saudis.

Seriously, Joshua R McLemore, what the f***’s wrong with you, you @$$hole?

‘Progressive’ Privilege

Nonbinary Child of Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark Gets Probation for Assaulting a Cop – “allegedly struck a police officer in the face, leading to an assault and battery on a police officer charge, on top of charges of vandalizing property, tagging property, vandalizing a historic marker/monument, and resisting arrest” [More]

I wonder what would happen to a young, politically unconnected black man who punched a Boston cop…?

After all, “racial justice” is what Katherine says she’s all about.

The Best Policy?

The Truth About The USCCA Self-Defense Liability Policy (2023) [Watch]

Interesting breakdown, although I do note this guy has his own financial interest in doing this.

I’d be interested in seeing USCCA and some of the gun video personalities endorsing/sponsored by the company do their own videos that address the points raised.

UPDATE

WarOnGuns Correspondent Ron M emails:

Here’s a USCCA response to that year old YouTube that you posted.

Yes, I have USCCA.

I read the contract.

I sent the contract to my legal provider for review (Legal Shield [formerly PrePaid Legal] which is also a monthly membership service).

Based on that discussion, I asked pertinent questions of USCCA.

I still have my membership with USCCA.

An Attack on One is an Attack on All

Gun Group’s Financial Dealings With Founder Spark State Investigation [More]

And now, the rest of the story… and I include this link because I want you to read it.

This “investigation” is a pretty naked lawfare/smear attempt to go ad hominem on someone at the forefront of effective Second Amendment legal defense cases to try and derail and harm them. It’s also meant to cause divisions and suspicions within the “gun community” over finances and relationships with other Gottlieb holdings for marketing, rent, and other services, which have never been a secret. SAF/CCRKBA tax filings are available to anyone on Guidestar, and before calling shenanigans, document what those would cost the SAF/CCRKBA nonprofits if they were provided by someone else.

For an impartial third-party opinion, Charity Navigator doesn’t have a dog in this fight. Let’s see what they have to say:

“Good – This charity’s score is 77%, earning it a Three-Star rating. If this organization aligns with your passions and values, you can give with confidence.”

I wonder if it will come out if anyone from out of state, including groups, politicians, and federal agencies, is a silent partner in this.

This isn’t just a knee-jerk reaction on my part. I’ve had some differences with Alan over the years, including some ongoing ones, and am on good terms with people who admire him and with people who can’t stand him, but what’s happening to him here is pure filth by evil interests that want you and me disarmed.

UPDATE

I hope my speculation on silent partners is followed up on because this revelation shows the relationships are baked in.
