We’re the Only Ones Dated Enough

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith.

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”

In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

We’ll Just See About That

“It’s not 1994 anymore,” said Peter Ambler, executive director of the gun safety organization Giffords, founded by former Ariz. Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was shot in 2011. “It’s safe to say that, at this point, we have obliterated the idea that guns is risky political territory for Democrats. Quite the contrary.” [More]

At least they’ve convinced some “moderate Republicans”…

A word about the flip side of TINVOWOOT: They can’t vote in our disarmament, either. Not as long as, say, three percent of us say “No.”

The Enemy Within

Caught On Tape! Florida’s 2A Committee Chair Against Constitutional Carry w/GOA’s Luis Valdez [Watch]

And on top of that, he’s got an insufferable “Only Ones” mentality.

With the latest DeSantis disconnect it seems like Florida Republicans are going out of their way to alienate gun owners.

And not just Florida Republicans…

UPDATE

Firearms News has the whole story direct from GOA.

Armed Marine Vet Learns that in Anti-Gun Maryland No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

“The victim can be seen on police body-worn cameras telling the police that Mr. Muldrow probably saved his life,” the informational alert concluded. “Many other witnesses on the scene spoke up for Mr. Muldrow’s heroic actions. None of that mattered.” [More]

I interviewed Muldrow for Firearms News to get what happened straight from him.

The Second Option

The White House has officially DELETED this tweet after getting absolutely humiliated by reality check [More]

We all make mistakes, sometimes big ones. I always thought you could tell a lot about character by what we do after– admit them, apologize and join in finding and spreading the truth— or try to hide it and hope nobody notices.

Then again I’m presuming this was a mistake and not some professional liar trying to slip a fast one by for political gain.

Meanwhile, Over at the Heart of Darkness…

It doesn’t matter what brand your politics is, this is Stasi stuff. [More]

Which is why they’re so intent on declaring anyone who knows that an enemy of the state… and noting how far they’ve dumbed down their constituents, all they have to do is scream “Racist!” and “Nazi!” and their DSM functionaries will do the rest.

Why Does It Seem She Knows a Thing or Two about ‘Going Down’?

The View Co-Host Joy Behar Claims Crime Is “Going Down” Under Biden [More]

For some reason, this question just popped up in my mind: What would you say to a friend who told you his wife watches The View and doesn’t want a gun in the house?

Livin’ la Vida Loca

We’ve lost track of the paradoxical fact that you can’t have freedom without law. Not only that, but you can’t have law without punishment… We also seem to think that we can have rights without responsibilities… But we are under the impression that we can have prosperity without production… [More]

“Progressivism” is a culture-killing delusion.

We’re the Only Ones Wondrous Enough

Think Wonder Woman — Fairfax Co. police test lasso-like restraint [More]

Bringing a rope to a gunfight? And does it work on dogs?

I guess I can see this as being a more humane way if you know you’re dealing with an unarmed person being a danger to himself and others, so I don’t want to completely badmouth the whole idea. I just can’t help recalling instances of drawing from the wrong holster…

And with the comparison, I can’t help recalling Woman Wonder…

So Kim’s doing it just to get his name in the papers.

You’d think a guy with his background would be aware of the Roof Koreans…

That and of the evils of communist citizen disarmament…

Democrat Judge Supports Bringing Back Slave Codes

Last Thursday, Judge Carlton Reeves of the Southern District of Mississippi charted a different course: He proposed appointing a historian to help him “identify and sift through authoritative sources on founding-era firearms restrictions” to decide the constitutionality of a federal law barring felons from possessing firearms. [More]

And not just felons!

The perception that free blacks were sympathetic to the plight of their enslaved brothers, and the dangerous example that “a Negro could be free” also caused the slave states to pass laws designed to disarm all blacks, both slave and free.

Who does the Obama appointment have in mind? Carl Bogus and Michael Bellesiles?

Figures the anti-gun fascists at Slate are all giddy over this.

Hey, at least Reeves isn’t starting the clock at the Fourteenth Amendment.

OK, Groomers

But television stations will not carry the images, even if the most explicit parts are blurred out. And I can’t blame the stations—even when blurred, the images are pornographic and not appropriate for public consumption. It is depressingly ironic that pictures too obscene to be shown to adults on television can be shown to 10-year-old kids in schools. [More]

Of special interest here:

As a candidate for governor, Mills’ gun control positions are similar to those of her Democratic competitors. She has called for a slew of firearms restrictions, including bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and touts her efforts to keep guns out of the hands as domestic abusers, who account for roughly half of the homicides in the state. But as a state legislator representing a rural district a decade ago, Mills received “A” or “A+” ratings from the NRA for her voting record during each of her three terms. 

Oh, look, a fellow supporter on both counts…

Blame to Go Around

The mother of a 30-year-old Buffalo woman who was killed by her estranged husband told The Post that Gov. Kathy Hochul was just as responsible for the brutal slaying as the man who pulled the trigger. [More]

Not to give Hochul a break or anything, but it appears there were also some all-too-common poor choices in play here, and I wonder if Keaira imprinted off of Tammy in her man-selection acumen and if they both were Democrats.

So then how do we know if what we’re being told are lies and conspiracy theories really are?

The DSM has already found a new use for “baseless”…
