First Do Harm

That appears to be the mission statement for Opposite Day “progressive” gunquacks:

It’s the part of me that won’t give up on our AMA efforts to stop the public health crisis of gun violence, demanding waiting periods, universal background checks, red flag laws, and bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines that our House of Delegates policy supports. Enough is ENOUGH. I’ll keep relentlessly showing up to accomplish those goals.

I wish he’d shake his rattles or yell a few times as Dr. Mbogo does. Makes you feel like he’s accomplishing something.

Don’t these charlatans have some children to give clot shots to?

None Dare Call It Treason

Both chambers of the Washington State Legislature have now approved a historic ban on the sale of assault weapons in Washington state. [More]

They know they’re doing evil. They not only don’t care, they get off on it.

This will be resolved one of two ways: Either the Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional, or the people who will not disarm will.

Then on to the next Intolerable Act…

A High Hurdle?

The firearm industry wants to keep firearms out of the hands of those who cannot be trusted to responsibly possess them. That includes prohibited individuals, those suffering through a mental health crisis or suffering suicidal ideations and unsupervised children. “Red flag” laws have utility in protecting the public but must be carefully administered so these orders aren’t abused to disarm lawful gun owners. [More]

Define “unsupervised children.”

Yeah, listen to the latter-day Judenrat and collaborate with the jackboots. What could go wrong?

And continue ignoring the only thing that will work.

The More Things Change the More They Stay the Same

Multiple shots were fired at 5.20pm as a large group of teenagers was at the beach for a “senior skip day,” Police Chief Kevin Cornett said. The shooting stemmed from fights that broke out, one of which ended with gunfire. [More]

I got into a few after-school scraps back when I was young, immortal, and stupid, and if anyone had pulled a weapon of any kind he would have been deemed a despicable coward. Nowadays it seems to be the default reaction.

The only constant is they are still despicable cowards.

Poor at Dealing with Rejection

I don’t normally post here on weekends unless I have an article to promote or if something important comes up. In this case, I’m getting a lot of email delivery failure notices in my Outlook account.

Your message wasn’t delivered because the recipient’s email provider rejected it… Message blocked because it contains content identified as spam.

And yeah, I checked the obvious.

Mine were not unsolicited messages from out of the blue. Every one of the emails I sent was a reply to people who had sent me news tips, to show them I had used their story. I have been doing this as a standard practice for as long as I’ve been featuring my scribblings online. And these are all people I have corresponded with for years, with no issues, longtime WoG Correspondents like Jess, Michael G, Steve T, bondmen, Andy M, Wisco Dave, Grassroots North Carolina, 1Gat, and others.

Yes, my replies have included links, first, one to my post that shows where I used the news tip, and also there is a list of websites my stuff is on under my name in my signature block. Those are probably the triggers. But my emails have always used those and it has never been an issue before. Now, all of a sudden, I’m getting dozens of reject notices, all from people I routinely trade emails with, and all in replies to links they had initially sent me.

The only other anomaly: The other day I noticed a few emails from some (but not all) of these correspondents showing up in my junk folder. I moved them back to my inbox along with the selected instruction to never treat them as spam.

Anyway, if you have sent me something that I’ve used and I haven’t gotten back to you on it, it’s not because I’m a rude, ungrateful SOB. If anyone has any ideas on what’s going on, feel free to advise in comments.

What’s the Constitution Got to Do With It?

As expected, the clearly unconstitutional HB 2005, with the -11 amendment passed out of the Ways and Means Committee today on a party line vote. (Even the lawyer who wrote the bill told the committee that it’s likely much of the bill is unconstitutional.) [More]

It’s not that they don’t care that it’s tyrannical. That it is is what they get off on.

No Better About It. Late Means Never.

GOP pushes to arm staff, eliminate ‘ineffective’ gun-free school zones after Nashville shooting [More]

Where were they back when?

And now with zero chance of passing through the Schumer Senate to the Biden White House…

Consider it another Sealab Bizarro moment.

Evil Guns Kill Again!

Boys, 12 and 17, arrested in shooting deaths of 3 teens in Marion County; 3rd sought [More]

So, disarm you and me, right…?

The sheriff doesn’t think so:

 “All the gun laws we got in place didn’t prevent it, did it? Neither will any new ones, because here’s the fact: the bad guy is going to get a gun no matter what law you have put in place, these juveniles shouldn’t even possess a handgun, but they did.”

More Conflation

In his recent book, “The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover,” Stanford University religious studies professor Lerone A. Martin paints the FBI under Hoover as fervently Christian and conservative, smearing conservatives and Christians by association with the famously authoritarian Hoover. [More]

Not that Hoover was either Christian or “conservative”…
