The Company They Keep

The smug “Aren’t we virtuous and tolerant?” look defines these political stool samples and the “No Kings” useful idiots who vote for them.

it comes to what Democrats will vote for, Carville is on to something.

Info or Infomercial?

Join us for “NRA and You,” a virtual session designed to help you better understand the history, structure, and mission of the National Rifle Association. This webinar will highlight key victories, ongoing efforts to protect the Second Amendment, and how the NRA operates at both the national and local levels. You’ll also learn how to get more involved, whether as a volunteer, advocate, or future leader in your community. A live Q&A and a special membership discount will be included for all attendees. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and take action! [More]

Tomorrow, 7 – 8 pm Eastern…

How they’re going to fit “A live Q&A”into a one-hour presentation that already looks pretty full is something we’ll need to find out. I registered and it looks like they don’t require you to be a member.

We’re the Only Ones Benefiting Enough

When the victim was 13, she described having a “friends with benefits” relationship with Swanson, in which she would receive gifts in exchange for allowing him to touch her and touching him as well. Such physical contact allegedly included oral sex, the highway patrol said. [More]

Again with the dating etiquette question…

What Price Freedom?

AK Loyalists Won’t Admit It, but the Platform Might Be Finished in America… Ammo Prices: The AK’s Last Big Selling Point Is Gone… 5.45×39 has basically dead [sic]in the USA, thanks to import bans and dried-up stockpiles [More]

For some reason this reminds me of an argument I had as a boy: Who would win? Batman or Tarzan? The real question is “Why, in the land of the Second Amendment, are there “import bans”?

Seems to me that Trump could trump Biden. Especially since American gun owners are being punished for the alleged crimes of unknown someones else: “It is believed that Russia is the only known country to have used Novichok and the nerve agent is only available to Russian state authorities.” [Emphasis added]

Take the ammo first, due process later?

And then there’s GCA 68, with “sporting purpose” exemptions for import bans.

Who makes that determination? And who’s their boss?

While gun owners are arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, when it comes to costs responsible for the divide they’re missing the main cause. And you’d think Trump, getting hammered on the economy, would find it useful to give his biggest supporters a price break.

So…. where is the Second Amendment Task Force on this? Where are the “gun groups”? Then again, if they change it the antis would have a field day when one of their constituents shot up the next “gun-free zone” with imported AK rounds.

Is that what we’ll accept as an impediment to our rights that we can’t get around? Because there will be more bloodbaths of opportunity as long as enforced victim pools exist, and if we cede ground here, they’ll occupy it and them move in closer. To argue otherwise is to deny what everyone can see but some, on “both sides,” won’t admit.

And No One from the ‘Greatest Threat’ In Sight

A startling rise in violent attacks and threats against historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) throughout the country is raising concerns among students, administrators and experts, as multiple shootings and fake threats have been reported across campuses. [More]

They make it sound like racists are responsible.

In a way, they’re right.

Not that Google AI will admit it:

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

I rest my case.

We’re the Only Ones Covert Enough

Capitol Police Officer Shauni Kerkhoff Identified as J6 Bomber Based on Forensic Match — Testified to Firing Pepper Balls at J6 Crowd, Then Months Later Took a Security Job at the CIA [More]

Where’s the arrest?

Will it happen before her (alleged) handlers get to her?

And will she be kept in a safer cell than Epstein?

Alternatively, where’s the libel lawsuit?

Blaming the Victim

During Friday’s St. Louis Board of Aldermen meeting, 12th ward Alderwoman Sharon Tyus blamed Palestinian gas station owners for crime in her ward. [More]

What moron! Everybody know it’s the guns’ fault.

Explain to me again how it’s “The Man” holding her — and constituents who vote for her — back.

Whistling Past the Graveyard of History

Mayor-elect Mamdani reeks of Lenin — but NYC’s wise safeguard against Marxism stands in his way [More]

I can’t help but feel relying on 1975’s Financial Emergency Act as a panacea is a bit of wishful thinking. Communists mean to rule by hook or by crook, and then by violence.

There were plenty of laws on the books the Bolsheviks ignored when they seized power. And this isn’t happening in a one-off vacuum.

What, No Payback?

The City CONCEDED its ordinance violates state law.
Memphis admitted that every line of its handgun-carry ban, vehicle-storage rule, so-called “assault rifle” ban, and red-flag scheme is 100% illegal under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1314. (Order pp. 3, 9–11) The Judge called the ordinance “DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.” The Chancellor wrote that “The Ordinance and those who proposed it engaged in ‘virtue signaling,’” but “the Ordinance is as dead as a proverbial doornail as a matter of Tennessee law.” (Order p. 6) Simply put, the Memphis ordinance is entirely unenforceable. [More]

So what will hold them accountable, make them pay, and discourage future in-your-face infringements?
