Much Ado About WHAT, Exactly…?

I’m urging every Voting Member of the NRA to turn your ballot over and write-in: Charles Rowe, Wadsworth, Ohio. [More]

Why?

Not only is he a world-class competitive shooter and Captain of the US Rifle Team, he’s also an experienced corporate executive with extensive board experience.

Anybody see anything about the Second Amendment?

And getting any of the preferred candidates on record with unequivocal commitments?

Any Chair in a Bar Fight

Redirect the conversations Everyclown initiates on social media by accusing them of the cardinal sin of “liberalism.”

Health Update

As you can see, I’m back.

Still not 100%, so please don’t load me up with news tips.

I have more article work that takes precedence, and I’m not going to overtax myself. Matter of fact, I have to skip elder feral son Uday’s birthday dinner at a favorite restaurant tonight because I’m just not up to venturing out into the cold and still want to keep my distance.

DC, eh? Assuming it’s not ID spoofing…

I need to see what I have to do to cut the 20 down to, like, three…

Youth Must Be Served

Providence man dies after assault by group of 11- and 12-year-olds [More]

Let me guess: None of them had names like Beaver, Wally, or Eddie Haskell…

I wonder how many are already fathers…

We’ll never know because the poor dears who are an obvious menace to the lives of peaceable citizens are too young to name.

Kinda reminds me of a game we’ve talked about

f course, if you did what was needed there’d be riots and you’d be the fall guy.

Elections Have Consequences

The proposed map would have given Democrats a 10-1 edge for the House of Representatives. Right now, Democrats have 6 seats, while Republicans have 5. [More]

They’ll get there.

I get a genuine kick out of NRA trotting out their resident expert to “explain… the implications of these proposed infringements and what gun owners can do now to stand up for their rights.”

Where the hell was he — and them — on what gun owners needed to do THEN…?

We’re the Only Ones Tireless Enough

Weapons cache, secret bunker found in California home of conservative activist… an investigation was launched after [CHP} received a tip about a suspected illegal marijuana grow operation… The combination of a hidden bunker and an alarming cache of illegal weapons and ammunition highlights the threat posed to public safety,” CHP Northern Division Chief John Pinoli said. “I am proud of the tireless work of our Northern Division personnel that led to this arrest.” [More]

What danger?

Note how they tie it all in with Trump.

Who’s the snitch?

Scumbags and Technicalities

Court Punts on Gun Rights Question in Jury-Instruction Appeal … Salas-Martinez’ case highlights how a retired statute—particularly one that may now be considered unconstitutional under subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decisions—could still be written into a defendant’s jury charge if it governed at the time of the offense.[More]

Fine, give him that.

And then apply the law.

DOJ Filing on Forced Reset Triggers Contradicts Pledges and Complicates Midterms

“You gotta win the midterms ’cause, if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just gonna be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” [More]

You’d think “a very stable genius” with so much skin in the game would know better than to let his people douse the fire in gunvoter bellies.

Gone Fishing

I expect to resume operations on the 26th. Please hold off on emails, news tips, and comments, which i may or may not be able to approve unless I learn how to do it on my phone, and I really hope to be spending my time differently.

I have an AmmoLand article on an Idaho GOP resolution to prosecute Lon Horiuchi and posthumously pardon Randy Weaver that hasn’t been published yet, so I can’t give you a link. It recalls some old information no one else is talking about that suggests how to put more teeth in it. Check my landing page later this week to read it.

That’s it, time to release feral son Uday from the dank catacombs beneath Stately Codrea Manor to stalk the halls and hunt for fresh intruder shinbones to gnaw in our absence… see ya on the other side.
