John Mellencamp sits for national anthem before Colts-Eagles game [More]
Too much effort to take a knee this time, Melonballs?
I wonder what would happen to someone who sat eating popcorn while that other “national anthem” was being played?

‘Publix denies any liability’ for grandmother, toddler’s murders in Florida grocery store [More]
Ordinarily, I’d agree unless deliberate indifference to known dangers could be demonstrated. We are generally responsible for our own defense. Still, statements against customers being armed don’t help discourage predators, although, in Florida, open carry outside of specifically defined limited circumstances still isn’t an option.
As for companies that disallow any kind of carry, I’d like to see more gun owners hand the manager this card and spread the word about his refusal to sign it:

I received a lot of phone calls from news agencies in the summer of 2001 after the People went to visit their Capitol on January 6. I decided to write a book that would not be subject to Internet deletion or MSM spin. It took me over a year, which explains my lengthy silence — I was immersed in it! Now it’s published, almost 600 pages on paper. [More]
Oath Keepers founding member Elias Alias shares insider information we won’t find anywhere else.
The National Rifle Association saw revenue continue to decline in 2021, when it collected $227 million, the lowest figure in a decade and a 20 percent drop from the year before, according to the group’s most recent IRS filing. Back in 2016, the organization took in a record $367 million. [More]
Bloomberg-“seeded” The Trace takes its mouth off his teat long enough to gloat.
That said, numbers don’t lie, and the board knows what it needs to do to begin to appeal to member confidence. Except Wayne has his fingers dug in and wrapped around the spine, lest he falls off the tiger and gets devoured.

“It’s not a hate crime to assault somebody and in the course of it use the word ‘haole,’” court-appointed attorney Lynn Panagakos said during her opening statement. [More]
I wouldn’t count on extrapolating that to include other applications…
And speaking of Hawaii, with a new Bruen-defying “sensitive places” bill making the rounds there, I wouldn’t count on infringed recognition of the right to bear arms anytime soon…
Dolan insisted, “The Second Amendment is not in any way violated by this bill.” [More]
That’s because Dolan is a f***ing liar:
State Senator Matt Dolan, a “moderate Republican,” may as well be a Democrat as far as gun owners are concerned. Described by CNN as a “non-Trump Republican … in the McCain lane, the Romney lane…” Dolan penned an op-ed in support of the state’s proposed STRONG Act, essentially a “red flag” edict that promises due process before gun confiscations without really delivering it, and requires “background checks” on private sales, and adds liability penalties to sellers. And no surprise here, Dolan admits “I understand this bill probably doesn’t go far enough for some and goes too far for others.”

What we know about the suspect in the Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub shooting [More]
We don’t know if he’s one of those haters they’re presuming he is and then extrapolating that to apply to the rest of us. The photo suggests otherwise, at least in terms of being one of those “white supremacists” we’re told are the greatest threat. Where are the photos of him? Did he or did he not use social media, and if so, got links, or are we once again seeing those being taken down?
By the same token, we also don’t know if he’s just another self-loather.
We DO know that, aside from a renewed “ban assault weapons” blood dance and the not wholly unexpected revelation that he’s been on police and prosecutor radar before for bizarrely violent behavior, the left is also exploiting this to make people afraid to criticize real “all ages” red flags being waved with the potential to provoke low-hanging fruit.
Everybody and their brother in the “gun rights” world are going to be writing about this so I’m going to hold back and wait for more about the @$$hole to become known. At that point, I’ll decide if I have something to say that I don’t see anyone else bringing up.
At this point, I’ll use this post throughout the day as an aggregator if something comes across the transom that’s relevant and new.

A New York City Police Department spokesman told the Washington Examiner that the man entered the building with a sword and ax and asked to “speak with someone in the politics section.” Security denied him, and he handed over his weapons when asked without incident. [More]
Now imagine if he’d been a serious threat. Is Times security up to the task, and if so, isn’t that interesting?

“That means if you’re in the United States, you live here, you’re born and you spend your life here, your odds of your life ending by murder are one in 179,” the report cited James Agresti, author of the study and president and co-founder of Just Facts as saying. [More]
No, it doesn’t. That just spreads out a much higher probability if you live in an urban Democrat stronghold.
They do that to scare people into demanding “commonsense gun safety laws.”
