But Wait! There’s More!

Our story continues.

So he’d been previously reported “authorities” knew about him. And he was a “German citizen.”

What we don’t know is if he was born that way. And why the “news” accounts I’ve located so far are content to identify him only as “Phillip F.”

It’s almost like there’s something the government/media alliance doesn’t want people to know.

A Matter of Priorities

Pentagon announces largest-ever defense budget request [More]

Funny– Congress never spends even one penny on “organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” And none of those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” are demanding it.

Seeing as how the authors of the Constitution they all swore an oath to uphold viewed it as “being necessary to the security of a free State,” Why do you suppose that is?

Naturally, It’s Trump’s Fault

SVB Failure Sparks Blame Game Over Trump-Era Regulatory Rule [More]

Yeah, more central government control, that’s always the answer, because they do so well at everything else. Plus it’s in the Constitution somewhere, isn’t it?

The less someone’s actions are regulated, the more they bear responsibility for them. It’s like a law of nature or something. Meanwhile, the major banks think it’s good business to collude on policies that alienate tens of millions of Second Amendment-believing gun owners.

Just Anti-Kidding

“Well, I’ve thought of murder,” Fonda said during cross-talk before her “Grace and Frankie” co-star Lily Tomlin asked her to repeat herself. “Murder,” Fonda said again as the reliably liberal panel burst into laughter. “She’s just kidding,” Behar said hastily, before motioning. “Wait a second… They’ll pick up on that and just run with it. She’s just kidding.” Fonda then gave Behar a long stare that created even more laughter, making it unclear whether Fonda was still joking. Hostin then segued awkwardly to discussing Fonda’s activism.

Imagine if pro-life advocates had said that about how to deal with the other side. They and everyone who did not immediately condemn and eject them would be “canceled” forever.

ABC/Disney and the hags of The View get away with “Just kidding.”

His Own Worst Enemy

San Francisco electrician hides his gun case in a backpack and his ammunition in a toolbox when he loads up his van for a day at the shooting range some 20 miles outside the city. Though he shares many of the liberal values of his neighbors—“I am an equality-loving pronoun-checking, hippie, San Francisco guy”—he conceals his status as a gun owner, worried that they would ostracize him if they knew.

The rest is behind a paywall but I’ve read enough.

F*** this moron.

Gun Culture 2.0 useful idiots are exactly what the repackaged antis are counting on.

The Long and Short of It

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act, and for other purposes… Prognosis5% chance of being enacted according to Skopos Labs (details) [More]

Less than that if the Republicans don’t take over the Senate and the White House next time out.

But it makes them look like they’re doing something.

Culture Clash

“Thanks for giving me a minute to address a truly despicable and false attack on me, claiming that anything I’ve ever said is white supremacist and then trying to imply that that somehow applies today,” Epstein said. “What I argued and what I’ve argued for my entire adult life is that Western culture is superior in the sense that it promotes individualism and freedom. And I have fought my entire life for freedom around the world.” [More]

Exactly.

We’re the Only Ones Showing Up in Force Enough

Video from the family’s surveillance camera shows an unmarked police car pull up, and a Lorain police officer and a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent jump out and try to speak with the boys. [More]

ATF? And 12 in all show up? Over “jaywalking”?

And nice “We the People” tat.

Nice way these “sworn officers” talk to citizens. I see the Lorain PD limits who can comment on their posts so citizens can’t talk back.

And remember: Back the Blue!

At Death’s Door

“That guy is lucky he isn’t dead”: Watch a dude break a door down in a frothing rage only to find out he got the wrong address [More]

Who does that frothing maniac think he is? An “Only One”?

I wonder if the people who found themselves defenseless and terrified are still being stupid. Because they’re also lucky they aren’t dead.
