Close But No Cigar

As the Left makes arguments that gun control is about saving lives, Pope Francis and the American bishops have taken this tack as well. Though the USCCB’s emphasis is certainly on sensible measures (such as reasonable background checks), the push to have Congress tighten the legislation around the buying and selling of firearms ever since Columbine seems a little too in lockstep with the liberal sectors of government—such as their support for banning assault-style weapons and limiting handgun ownership.

This is a damn sight better than 99.9% of what I see coming from the Church, but who says background checks are sensible and reasonable?

Ganging Up

CNN Announces “Guns in America” Beat and Team – Led by CNN Guns and Security Correspondent Josh Campbell, the new unit will feature reporting and analysis from The Reload’s Stephen Gutowski, The Trace’s Jennifer Mascia and The Guardian’s Abené Clayton [More]

So basically three against one is considered a fair fight?

I’ve taken on more…

It reminded me of another online fight.

Looking for That Dime’s Worth of Difference

Someone inside the event didn’t like the sign Mr. Rose was holding and had the City of Alachua Police approach Mr. Rose to tell him to leave because it was a private event. [More]

I guess if you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t feel free to ignore the First.

So some tight-@$$ed Vichycon at a DeSantis event, rather than doing the right thing and living up to that fidelity to the Second Amendment he makes such great political hay over, decided instead to channel their inner “progressive” snitch and sic the jackboots on a patriot?

And we’re supposed to just forget about this?

A Gun Sense Candidate

A Democrat Nevada state Senator, Pat Spearman, who is running for North Las Vegas Mayor, is in the spotlight speaking about gun violence. This is because Spearman’s son, whom she adopted, shot her nephew… [More]

And note the passive voice deflection:

It’s with a heavy heart that my family is impacted by gun violence.

Victims all! Sounds like just the person to dictate my family’s gun rules! And yours…

Out-of-Office Response

Just back after spending the entire day in ER due to a family medical emergency. Looks like we’re out of the woods– for now.

I didn’t even get to all the news tips sent over the weekend, let alone on Monday, so if you’re wondering why I didn’t get to or acknowledge yours, that’s why.

Please hold off on correspondence or understand why I’m not responding because I have no idea what tomorrow will bring and have article work I’m behind on that’s going to take whatever priority I’m able to give it.

Talking Turkey

I didn’t approve this comment because I’m pretty clear on my “keep it on topic” rules.  Still, this lunatic troll did provide a moment of entertainment, so why not exploit it?

And no, “Tom.” I’m not letting you back in for the same reason I would physically eject you from my house for being an obnoxious @$$hole. But thanks for the laugh. Now stew.

My guess is that’s fake contact info, too, as the IP address shows Chi-Town via proxy server, so don’t go emailing the Navy looking for the dweeb.

Blast from the Past

On a side note to the last post, the video of my interview has been “disappeared” along with the rest of the terminated YouTube account.  When looking to see if it’s posted anywhere else, I happened across this years-old commie hit piece about the Las Vegas murders that I’d been previously unaware of, which included Alex Jones and me among its targets:

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the other far-Right trolls, ISIS, were quick to claim that not only the attack was carried out in it’s name, but that also the shooter had converted is Islam months ago. However, according to both the FBI and other law enforcement, this is simply not the case. In the past, ISIS was also claimed other horrific acts in it’s name, despite there being no connection. Many on the Right however refused to accept this. Writing for the Oath Keepers militia, David Codrea wrote:

News services are scrambling to uncover what happened in last night’s massacre in Las Vegas, to be first in revealing some unknown dimension to a story that has the attention of the world. That’s led to conflicting accounts about the shooter—or in some accounts “shooters, and about motives (ISIS has already claimed responsibility, which the FBI denies) and about practically everything.

The blame and hatred coming from the citizen disarmament camp is palpable. Celebrities are piling on. Politicians and gun-grab zealots are dancing in the blood, which they blame on NRA, on “conservatives,” on whites, and on anyone else the collectivists choose to smear as “Nazis” and “fascists.”

Codrea’s rant ends with stating that the “hard left” (by this he means, the Democratic Party), will soon move to take away guns from American citizens, a common refrain from the militia movement, and a central concept within white nationalist literature, such as The Turner Diaries.

Nothing I wrote was untrue. Yet according to this anonymous “anarchist,” presenting both sides equates with refusing to accept, and citing tactics, smears, and documented citizen disarmament end goals equates with a racist rant.

According to them, a fascist is someone who wants to limit government power. A racist is someone who advocates for the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever conceived.

Consider the source:

It’s Going Down is a digital community center from anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements. Our mission is to provide a resilient platform to publicize and promote revolutionary theory and action.

Kurt Hofmann’s adage comes to mind.

I’m with Popeye

Between going out of town over the weekend for an NRA Second Amendment legal seminar in Pittsburgh (where I finally got to meet Stephen Stamboulieh in person), having to pick my wife up this afternoon at the airport, and my wireless mouse suddenly deciding to ignore driver updates and make me troubleshoot for an hour, I am so far behind on all incoming correspondence that I haven’t even gotten to Monday’s inputs yet. I even had to turn down Mark Walters to come on Armed American Radio’s Daily Defense today.

Everything will have to wait until tomorrow because after dinner I have to go help my brother move some heavy furniture.

I hope no one thinks I’m ignoring them. Please hold off on more tips and queries, and let me get caught up? Besides, who the hell else do you know who goes from Popeye to Scarlett in a single post?

Communism in a Nutshell

What happens when the right to parenthood involves someone else’s body? [More]

Mr. Pynchon would like to say something.

What right involves making demands that others must comply with — or else?

It’s one of the reasons I find the term “entitlements”– as it relates to forced wealth redistribution– so offensively unAmerican. And don’t get me started on “The Second Amendment gives us the right…”

A New Hope

We have what we hope will be good news on Ballot Measure 114. In spite of massive spending by the leftists who are promoting the measure, a poll published by the Oregonian shows support from only 51% of Oregon voters. [More]

And if the polls are biased, and they are, the number is lower.

That doesn’t mean it’s time to relax. That means it’s time to fight harder, beginning by spreading the word.

When Seconds Count

“Obviously, he’s a dangerous animal, so we have to be careful especially with our dogs, but we’ve been told by our security that animal control will not come unless [we’re] in immediate danger” … [More]

It sounds more like he’s got the wrong security than anything. Who in security said that and who in animal control told them that? Why isn’t that being made known?

Play this smart and serious and let the right people know they’ll be held publicly accountable, and the underlings would scramble to have a baited trap out before end of shift.

I wonder what the settlers there did about dangerous nuisance animals in days gone by…?
