This Could Have Promise

So they’re going to jail every Democrat and 90+% of Republicans?

I feel safe enough to disarm!

Flip or Flop?

If I Had a Hammer

Can we take a moment to appreciate how the “YOU DONT NEED A GUN TO STOP A HOME INVASION” folks literally had a home invader wrestle their own hammer off them to use against them. [More]

You’ll forgive me if I automatically don’t stipulate that he was a “home invader.”

UPDATE

See, why are there questions?

The Carrot

And Nary a Bump Stock to be Found…

Party Girl

Democratic nominee for Arkansas auditor arrested for felony terroristic threatening [More]

Looks like the Dems can’t back away fast enough. A cursory search doesn’t tell us what she said. Anyone got a relevant link? Or know if she’s a “gun sense candidate”?

Conversion ‘Therapy’

Rand says ATF should consider using its authority to reclassify certain types of firearms that are easily converted into fully automatic weapons, similar to what they did in the 1980s with the KG-9 and the MAC-10. Lots of firearms besides Glocks also are “readily convertible” into machine guns by using tools to reconfigure them or adding parts, she said. [More]

Like VPC has been signaling everyone since 1988:

The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.

Anybody out there still foolish enough to believe the bump stock ban was about bump stocks?

Delay of Game

A perfect storm of personal issues, needed meat space work, and commitments to publishers means blogging here will have to wait.

I see dozens of emails were sent in over the weekend. I’ll get to reading and reacting to those when I can.

Please hold off on loading me up with more.

Advancing the Narrative

Because everyone knows monitored elections are racist!

So is not being a communist.

This is Intentional

Police told Fox Los Angeles they cannot do anything about the situation unless someone is blocking a sidewalk, active driveway or business. [More]

No property taxes, no permits– the city could shut this parasite down in a heartbeat on those and on health and safety violations if it wanted to.

The question here is why doesn’t it want to?

Return I Will to Old Brazil

Brazilian president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva calls for ‘peace and unity’ after beating far-Right rival Jair Bolsonaro in knife-edge election that split the nation after millions cast their votes… but will the ‘Trump of the Tropics’ concede defeat? [More]

More to the point, will Brazilians who know better turn in their guns?

UPDATE

There may be more truth to that “Trump of the Tropics” reference than “progressives” care to admit.
