Slow Going Ahead

I have a relative coming in from out of state this afternoon and a big family weekend planned.

I’ll be posting my new article announcements and get to what I can from tips sent in but please understand that I don’t expect to be back to full speed until next week and hold back accordingly.

We’re the Only Ones Unprotective Enough

U. Arizona’s first female police chief to step down following professor’s shooting death [More]

Apparently, failure to adequately bureaucratize overcomes “no duty to protect.”

What we won’t see blamed is this:

Arizona Board of Regents Policies 5-302 and 5-303 prohibit the use, possession, display, or storage of any weapons, explosive device, or fireworks on the University of Arizona campus and on all land and in all buildings owned or under the control of the University of Arizona on behalf of the Arizona Board of Regents, except as provided in ARS §12-781. No concealed carry permit exempts a person from this policy.

The march of folly continues unabated.

Rushed into Print

Man makes $21,000 selling 3D-printed guns during NY AG gun buyback program [More]

Does the state have the authority to ensure its “No Questions Asked” promise will keep the feds at bay on its “engaging in the business of dealing in firearms” prohibition for non-FFLs? Now that he’s on state and fed radar, I hope he gets qualified tax advice on how to report that.

Focus on What Works

Megyn Kelly talks about the mass shooting at a Texas mall over the weekend, why the gun control zealots are stopping us from getting anything done to stop these murders, what efforts could actually stop these prevalent shootings, and more. [More]

Good girl for the most part. Although I question her characterizing any grabber as “reasonable,” as she does when pointing viewers at the end to a debate she moderated.

One of These Things is Not Like the Others

Why are mass shootings rare in other countries despite high levels of gun ownership? [More]

Hmmm…

That is

indeed

a mystery

worth exploring…

Unfortunately, or I should say intentionally, “real reporter” Justin Klawans does not see fit to ask how similar demographics in the armed-to-the-teeth United States fare, and if there might be some populations (like the 5 million NRA members) with statistically insignificant “gun violence” incidents and rates, and others where the bad stuff is concentrated.

In other words:

But it was an intentional miss. His masters are paying him to not even mention that and draw exclusive focus to “gun laws,” and he knows if he doesn’t do what they expect, he can be replaced…

A Plan Comes Together

The actual supremacist is but one out of 13 horrific acts of violence that they whitewash with the exception of that one loathsome scum. If you just read and don’t click the links, you might very well think white people are going crazy with guns all over the country. [More]

Yeah. Ginning up mass fear is a useful precursor to ginning up mass hate.

How Very ‘Progressive’

A 46-year-old man was fatally shot by a fellow campaign staffer while handing out flyers for a progressive political group in Philadelphia ahead of the city’s upcoming mayoral race. [More]

OnePA? Looks like they’re 0 for 2 on “common sense gun reforms” and black lives mattering.

Care to see what else they’re wrong on?

Survey SAYS…

Biden approval slips to new low in wake of 2024 campaign launch: survey [More]

When an enemy feigns vulnerability they want you to believe it for a reason. The true powers that be can’t be all that displeased with the way the administration with this guy as its figurehead has accelerated their agenda schedule on all fronts…

Now is not the time to get confident, let alone overconfident. Remember the “red wave”…?

The Old ‘I Was Only Following Orders’ Excuse

The question now becomes “What orders wouldn’t they follow?”

I see some approvingly saying “This is how you talk to them.”

Me, I hope ignoring the prime directive doesn’t get him in trouble, particularly if “No, I didn’t do anything wrong” (2:34) comes back to haunt him.

O Canada

The Canadian press reports this initial step is a contract with the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA), a group representing Canada’s hunting and sport shooting industry, to work with Public Safety Canada and firearm businesses and retailers. [More]

So they’ll be like kapos…?

What else am I supposed to think when I see governments limiting rights to “sporting purposes“?

You Will Respect My Authoritah!

How can L.A. stop traffic deaths? Let civilians enforce traffic violations, study says [More]

Who thinks life will imitate art?

Going kind of fast there, weren’t you, Mr. … uh… red rags are for Bloods, not Crips, right…?

Still, distinguishing citizens from “Only Ones” by calling them “civilians” kind of brings the Founders’ “standing army” concern to the fore…
