Greg Abbott strips Texas of basic gun safeguards months after little children were slaughtered in Uvalde. This is not conservative. It is radical. [More]

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.”

The Carrot
And Nary a Bump Stock to be Found…
Party Girl
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
AOC tells MSNBC’s Hayes ‘White nationalism’ threatens Americans with ‘fascism,’ return to ‘apartheid’ — Ocasio-Cortez also claimed that Arizona poll watchers harken back to ‘Jim Crow’ [More]
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.

Minor Skirmish Portends to Bigger Things

‘Dangerous situation’: Auto shop owner fights off attempted armed robber [More]
“Just give them what they want” is an admission that the person saying it is a coward who has no answers and you’re on your own.

Looks Can Be Deceiving
Survey SAYS…
USA Today poll: GOP getting 40% of the Hispanic vote and 21% of Black vote [More]
So like I’ve been saying all along, in spite of all the starry-eyed deniers, it’s still a damn landslide.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

The New Abnormal
The Guttenberg Press
Gun Safety advocate Fred Guttenberg calls Josh Hawley ‘a liar’ [Watch]
The first lie is that Fred advocates for gun safety. He advocates for citizen disarmament, and the MSNBC apparatchick daughter of a South Korean refugee welcomed into this country to enjoy its Constitutionally-mandated recognition of freedoms is overtly part of the team now undermining them.
It’s helpful seeing Fred take the mask off though and resort to logically fallacious ad hominem attacks. It puts the lie to his insistence with his 97percent partners that they’re all about dialog and coming together with gun owners. (And guess who else partners with them.)
I’m sorry for his horrible and unimaginable loss, but it’s not my fault. My natural human sympathy does not mean I will remain passive when he and other surviving family members attack my right to protect myself and my loved ones.

There Oughta be a Law!
Police: FBI background check blocked gun sale to accused St. Louis school shooter [More]
Another “Gotcha!” for the blood dancers?
Lost in the furious outrage being ginned up to demand more disarmament edicts is the fact that none of the Democrat constituents responsible for the day-in-day-out carnage would have passed a background check either.
