Here to Stay

Since assault weapons bans aren’t coming back and AR-15-style rifles are here to stay, the most important thing we can do is modernize the background check system, around which there’s a modicum of bipartisan consensus. [More]

What, you mean the system that the National Institute of Justice says requires registration to be effective, and that criminals won’t subject themselves to anyway…?

Still, nice of him to admit they don’t have the juice to get rid of them. In The New York Times, no less…

A ‘Tragic Accident’

Shannon Brandt pled guilty to manslaughter after Cayler Ellingson was killed when he was hit by Brandt’s vehicle in September 2022. The guilty plea comes just weeks after the charges were reduced from murder to manslaughter. [More]

Now imagine the sentence is Brandt were the “Republican extremist” and his victim had been [insert preferred woke category here].

We’re the Only Ones Truthful Enough

A bill Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw introduced Friday could streamline Border Patrol’s hiring process by eliminating the polygraph requirement for some candidates with law enforcement or military credentials. [More]

Because nothing says “more trustworthy than you” like being an “Only One.”

This Crenshaw character certainly has proved to be a continual disappointment.

The Journalistic Turd in the Punch Bowl

Women are buying more guns, though studies suggest self-defense use is rare… A Harvard University analysis found people defended themselves with a gun in less than 1% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. More recently, a Stanford University study of 17.6 million Californians found that people who lived with handgun owners but did not own a gun themselves died by homicide more than twice as often as their gun-free neighbors. [More]

If what they say is true, NRA families must be self-destructing at an astonishing rate.

Somebody at Faux News decided it was important to offset reality by citing “statistics” and talking points from people who want to ban guns. Nothing like assigning such stories to a self-described “cat lady.”

An Explosive Situation

Officials investigate mysterious disappearance of 30-Ton shipment of explosive chemicals in California [More]

So Chuck Schumer’s proposed taggant mandate would have worked about as well as tracing guns back to their original purchasers?

The question now becomes “Who has them?”

Enemy foreign open border opportunists or an FBI/ “white nationalist” low-hanging fruit joint venture…?

And Now a Word from the Plantation Party

‘Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals,’ states the advisory issued on Saturday night by the civil rights group. [More]

Well, yeah, they up and elected a “white supremacist.”

Since when do we call hate mongers “civil rights groups”? And who decided the rest of us have to go through the absurd motion of saying “people of color”?

By driving them to the Democrats, “middle man” Derrick Johnson is filling a time-“honored” role…

Tot Shot

3-year-old shoots 2 people in Lafayette, who was wanted for murder [More]

I can’t tell you how many times that happened at my house when feral sons Uday and Qusay were growing up.

Thank goodness “safe storage laws,” or in Indiana’s case, a Class C felony for “dangerous control of a child/firearm” charge, will keep these things from happening in high-risk (criminal) homes!
