Terry Schappert on Civil War

He knows whereof he speaks, and offers very doable things if people would only do them. [Watch]

Ay, there’s the rub…

A Churchill quote comes to mind:

[If] you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. (The Gathering Storm, London, 1948, 272.)

FAFO

Local Ohio councilman says he’s in hiding, fears for life after Charlie Kirk post [More]

Is this where I’m supposed to care?

Munroe Falls is just down the street from me and I pass through it all the time.

Here’s the thing: He’s also “a Senior IT Testing Coordinator for the University Hospitals network.”

I am a University Hospital patient. I’m concerned that he believes “the world is a better place” now that a man I share much ideology with was murdered and wonder if Republicans can trust him not to abuse data that affects their health care and their privacy.

Maybe I’ll ask.

UPDATE

University Hospitals spokeswoman Ansley Kelm told the Beacon Journal via email Sept. 15, “UH is aware of the post. We are currently conducting an investigation and, once completed, will take appropriate action.” [More]

His wife has to be happy with him.

Unconstitutional Carry

Despite these facts, the Lucas County Sherriff’s Office and the Sylvania Prosecutor’s Office have refused to drop the charges and are deliberately ignoring Ohio law. Worse, and perhaps most egregiously, according to court filings, the Sylvania Prosecutor’s Office has taken the extraordinary position that anyone — even those holding a valid concealed handgun license — may be arrested and charged simply for having a loaded firearm in their car. [More]

We touched on this here, and my concerns still apply.

It’s up to the majority Republicans to fix this, and I note years later I’m still slapping my forehead over how over a decade after being put on notice DeWine refuses to ensure the “Only Ones” know the damn law.

Forget Lucas County Sherriff’s Office and Sylvania Prosecutor’s Office. It’s Michael Navarre and Heather Pentycofe. The bucks stop there.

We’re the Only Ones Retentive Enough

“We are hearing rumblings already that some allegedly pro-gun Republicans are already cooking up ideas to roll back the impact of the ruling,” he said. “We’re hearing things like what kind of retention-level holster the sheriffs will demand people use. If anything like that comes out, the Florida Sheriffs Association is behind it and we will fight it.” [More]

They probably want to make them easier for their DEI hires to remove.

Hey, backi the khaki, right?

Good question:

Can We All Get Along?

Steven Bonnell, also known as Destiny, calls for conservatives to be killed more often so they will be afraid to attend events or speak out. [More]

And then he pulls a David Hogg.

Meanwhile, over at Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s solidarity bro’s place:

What do you need a “weapon of war” for?

Garands for Gangbangers

During a debate on the House floor on Tuesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) spoke against an amendment which would authorize the military to give “additional” surplus weapons to the Civilian Marksmanship Program, which Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) defended. [Watch]

That’s me with mine in 1995.

Here are the current rules.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think Maxwell Frost was just an opportunistic liar interested in establishing a monopoly of violence.

Heiß Umfehdet, Wild Umstritten

The possession of Category B firearms such as pistols will in the future only be permitted from the age of 25 instead of 21, while Category C firearms, such as rifles, will only be allowed from the age of 21. A psychological evaluation will be mandatory when applying for the first time and again after five years. In addition, checks will be carried out every five years. For Category C weapons, a firearms ownership card will now also be required, just as it already is for Category B weapons. This is outlined in the draft law proposed by the governing parties. [More]

Makes perfect sense if those running the government are traitors…

Never Say Never

1 In 9 Americans Still Believe Political Violence Is Sometimes Justified [More]

Really? What the hell kind of sanctimonious virtue signaling is this? Zero Hedge thinks a violence monopoly is preferable?

Maybe if we could beef those numbers up it would discourage more of it happening. As I wrote 25 years ago in my GUNS and AMMO piece “You Say You Want a Revolution”:

But that’s ok. As long as such uncertainty exists, the Second Amendment is doing its job. As long as government fears an armed populace, and based on all the idiot laws they’re trying to pass, they sure must, a powerful check on tyranny remains in place. After all, it is an evident truth that the strength of our nation can be measured by its freedom, and the Second Amendment is the key bellwether for this freedom. We can see in its erosion the breakdown of trust between government and the governed, and the attendant instability and conflict that is inevitable when this happens.

The seemingly paradoxical truth is, if you want to create a stable, peaceful and free society, where a Chechnya-style conflict becomes the unlikeliest of possibilities, you must guarantee that the whole people can arm themselves to the teeth. For only by making the cost of infringing our rights too high can we make those who would abridge them afraid to act. Just as, at the individual level, a criminal avoids a potential victim who may be armed, so too does this work on a societal scale.
