A Matter of Priorities

On October 26, we commemorate Intersex Awareness Day and honor the many contributions intersex voices have made in the global struggle for inclusion, equality, and dignity for all. [More]

Funny… you’d think you’d be able to find equivalent announcements for Constitution Day and Bill of Rights Day

Look at all the Deep State pies “spokesman” Ned Price has had his fingers in. Elections notwithstanding, decisions binding us all are not being made by “normals.”

The Red Queen

Hochul touts “red flag” gun seizures as polls show crime top concern for New Yorkers [More]

It’s instructive how she minimizes concerns over pandering to a key Democrat constituent bloc by turning a blind eye to effectively addressing real crime, opting instead to go after citizens who have not been tried for or convicted of anything.

She Evidently Can’t See the Bill of Rights from Her House

“Doggone it, I never have anything to gripe about, I just wish she’d convert on over to the other party. But other than that, love her.” [More]

You love that “she supports gun control legislation …thinks that there should be gun storage laws, waiting period to purchase guns, and federal universal background checks” and would no doubt have backed Pelosi’s move to ban “assault weapons”?

Has Sarah Palin lost her mind, or was she always a projected image?

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.
