Opportunity Knocks

“No information has come out about it. We don’t know what it’s going to entail, how we’re going to do background checks. Are we going to be doing phone checks with them? Are we going to do an online portal. They’re not giving us any information.” [More]

For some reason a line from Airplane comes to mind.

Just think of the opportunities for compliance violations… and shutting down sales altogether!

Then just think of other opportunities.

Partial Faith and Credit

People shouldn’t lose their National constitutional rights whenever they venture into other states. If you have a … a First Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state. If you have a Second Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state because these are these are rights that are enshrined in our national Bill of Rights… and there wasn’t a whole lot of discussion about it but there is brief mention of the Full Faith and Credit Clause. I always thought that that would be a very very good argument going forward for … every state. If you got a license or permit issued by your state, I mean, what is holding these other states back from recognizing these licenses…? [Watch]

What are these “licenses” and “permits” so many ostensibly on “our side” are so ready to legitimize as a good thing?

We’re past that stage. What were once viewed by some as incremental building blocks have turned into undeniable stumbling blocks.

The very term “reciprocity” is unconstitutional, offensive and absurd in the context of rights.

As Long as There’s No Use for Them Here…

State Reps. Quang Nguyen, R-Prescott Valley, and Selina Bliss, R-Prescott, on Monday requested a “Senate Bill 1487” investigation, named after the process’s initial bill filing, from Mayes as to whether the city’s decision to ship 500-600 seized firearms to the Ukrainian Arsenal of Liberty is legal. [More]

Everything I said when the Council approved this still applies, particularly about Democrat “generosity.”

And everything I said about Miami applies too, particularly about ITAR and citizens protecting OUR border from foreign invaders.

On a side note, what’s with Ducey’s “9,000 pounds of surplus tactical equipment”?

Where are they getting these units of measurement from?

His Heart’s in the Right Place

“We’re patrolling the neighborhood. But we have guns because the Second Amendment says that if you have a license, you are allowed to carry one,” he said. [More]

That’s not what it says at all.

While it’s encouraging to see this, you can’t very well claim rights if you don’t understand them.

Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing the racist implications of Connecticut’s asinine “duty to retreat” exposed.

I Need You Badly, Badly, Madam Librarian

New York State Public Library Bows to Bullies, Cancels Appearance by Author Jack Cashill [More]

Because real reporting is offensive, wrong-thinking is punishable, and who better to decide what we can be exposed to than Marxists with their snouts in the public trough?

Besides, they have other priorities.

That’s what happens when the prohibitionist busybody hens take over.

I juxtapose this against an email I just received from the “Society of Professional Journalists” touting their convention in Las Vegas next month, where heady matters of DSM interest will include “Diversity in Your Reporting and Newsroom” and a featured luminary will be honored for being “the first Latina sideline reporter for ‘Monday Night Football.'”

Is it really unfair to wonder how many of the attendees could pass a high school algebra class — or start a lawnmower?

About That Pittsburgh Armed Maniac…

Pittsburgh ‘active shooter situation’ reported, police say ‘hundreds of rounds were fired’ – Police reportedly arrived to the scene to serve an eviction notice, leading to gunfire [More]

While literately nothing else is known at this point, look for a narrative-forced emphasis on “assault weapons.”

Garfield?

Once more facts come out and the rest of the preferred narrative doesn’t materialize, look for other factors that aren’t as exploitable to be downplayed and ignored.

Adventures in DEI

One of the many ironies of the Congo debacle was that even though Dreke’s group was composed mostly of Afro-Cubans like Víctor Dreke and Henry “Pombo” Villegas Tamayo, who was Che Guevara’s chief bodyguard, the Cuban expedition was led by a white Argentinean, Che Guevara. As Dreke explained, “I was given orders to select a group of compañeros for the mission from the Central army…. Furthermore, I was told, the compañeros were to be black—‘very black.’ That was the instruction I was given.” Interestingly, Villegas followed Che to Bolivia in the Argentinean’s final debacle in 1966. [More]

Miguel A. Faria, MD, gives us a taste of  Cuba’s Eternal Revolution through the Prism of Insurgency, Socialism, and Espionage.

So Marxists know from experience that top-down planned “vibrancy” results in catastrophic culture clash, yet they keep mandating it in every aspect of society here…

I see I’m not the only one who senses an ideological connection with the subject of my last post.

Women to Watch

While trying to get some background on the tyrannical MD official who weaponized the red flag law to deploy armed enforcers to disarm a citizen she had a zoning dispute with, I ran across an online paean to well-heeled, “progressive” women. Page 58’s tribute to Frida Kahlo tells us much by what it doesn’t say:

She was a radical communist slut.

The overprivileged useful idiot cows honoring her would be among the first to populate the lime pits when they’d lived up their usefulness.

Forbidden Thoughts

33% of Generation Z believes using the wrong gender pronoun should be illegal. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer supports similar legislation that comes with potential jail sentences. [More]

What kind of anti-government extremist would support seditious conspiracies to defy that?

Or to oppose these pieces of totalitarian sh!+…?

Political Vengeance Orders

Webb subsequently filed for an Extreme Risk Protective Order (“ERPO”) to have Willey’s firearms and ammunition confiscated, alleging threats, which Willey steadfastly denies. The complaint accuses Webb of committing perjury resulting in seizure of Willey’s firearms and ammunition and forcing Willey to endure a humiliating involuntary mental health evaluation. The lawsuit alleges Willey’s constitutional rights were violated for nearly two weeks, after which his firearms were returned. [More]

Red flags can be weaponized? Who knew?

I’d say Webb and her cronies deserve a whole lot more scrutiny and exposure.

For the Children

Charlotte Pride Says No One Will Win 2023 Harvey Milk Award After Convicted Pedophile Winner’s Past Unearthed [More]

Yeah, well, as much as leftists want to whitewash it:

In 1964, in his early 30s, Milk began a relationship with Jack McKinley, a theatrical stage manager who was 16 years old when they met in New York.

Coincidentally, this just came across the transom this morning:

Follow the Money

According to a biography of Wyss written by a sister, Wyss’ goal is not to bend laws to his business’s advantage but to “[re]interpret the American Constitution in the light of progressive politics.” [More]

Undermining what is “necessary to the security of a free State” by foreigners is an act of war. Undermining it internally is an act of treason.
