Split Personalities

Will a Republican majority make a difference in creating a circuit split?

Change My Mind

Judge ATF as They Judge Us: They’re All Guilty and They All Need to Go [More]

There’s not one who wouldn’t arrest us if they knew we possessed a forbidden and/or unregistered arm, so, yeah… remember that every time some supposed Second Amendment supporter says “Enforce existing gun laws.”

I’ve actually had California Prags tell me if I don’t like the law to work to elect reps who will change it.

House Upon the Sand

Why Can’t Laura Loomer Own A Gun? I Asked Her Father Jeff, And The FBI [More]

Not taking sides here, just saying this is out there and needs to be factored into credibility assessments. If true, careful relying on her judgments. If untrue, it would seem a massive libel suit is in order.

I’ve never been one for following personalities anyway, regardless of what they profess. Just like ad hominem attacks, it’s a logical fallacy to go the other way, and disappointment in finding feet of clay can be destructive to more than just the icon outed.

Case in point…the principles of Oath Keepers are still valid and needed regardless of what anyone chooses to believe about its founder.

Nuts and Boltons

This has nothing to do with guns and nothing to do with the raid except to note one of the photos and ask if a former National Security Advisor with contacts in the highest levels of government really keeps the rain out of his house with duct tape… ? [More]

I’m also thinking, with the street number unblurred, if the intent here is to dox the guy, which, considering who he is and the real enemies his positions have made, could very easily have lethal consequences.

Florida’s GOP State Attorney Bakkedahl Cites Anti-2A Everytown to Defend Infringements

These offensive “justifications” being argued by Florida Republicans sound like the kind of polemics to be expected from rabid Moms Demand Action zealots and ranting Democrat demagogues. That they would be made in an administration where Gov. Ron DeSantis is widely touted as being “pro-gun” and where Florida State Attorney General James Uthmeier recently refused to defend the under-21 long gun ban enacted after the Parkland shootings, goes beyond cognitive dissonance.

With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?

Making Martyrs

32 Christians are killed per day, but the West sees only Gaza – No one has ever heard of Western flotillas headed to Nigeria, Congo, or Syria, where Christians and Druze are slaughtered like chickens. [More]

I don’t suppose they’re allowed to have guns in any of those places…?

A Right Delayed

Yesterday, New Mexico gun owners won a huge victory at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Ortega v Grisham. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of several New Mexico residents supported by the NRA, Mountain States Legal Foundation and other groups. The plaintiffs attempted to buy a gun on the first day the 7-day firearm waiting period law went into effect last year. While they passed the background check and paid for their firearms, they were not able to take their guns home with them due to the new law. [More]

We’ve already touched on this but I though it best to hear directly from the people affected.

What’s in a Title?

NRA’s EVP&CEO Problem-President Bachenberg Responds [More]

Sounds like they’re going to fix it, which means they recognize it needs to be fixed, which means all those giving excuses that it’s not important and not to worry our pretty little heads about it were just blowing hot air.

And yeah, I’ve been the only one ’til now, but Nicholas is the one who got a response.

Chips Off the Old Block

March for Our Lives has been rocked by divisions, layoffs, and — most recently — a lawsuit alleging racism and retaliation. [More]

That’s pretty rich, considering the views of the racist their funding comes from:

“Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said.”

Let’s see if Facebook lets this stay up:

Slow Going Ahead

I’ve got a Dr. appointment for a medical checkup and an article to work on when I get back, so please hold off on news tips and understand if I can’t get to what’s been sent in so far since yesterday.

Back when I can be…

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Bryan Kohberger, the former criminology Ph.D. student who killed four University of Idaho undergrads in a 4 a.m. home invasion ambush, is complaining to prison guards that other inmates are threatening to sexually assault him and pleading for a transfer to another wing of the prison, according to a new report. [More]

While I understand why some are inclined to gladly view a tortured, terrified soul as fitting karma, and actual victimization as justice, think it through– those providing compulsory custodial care have an obligation to ensure the safety of their charges. I’d like to see a duty to protect, with real and personal legal consequences for exploitation, negligence, deliberate indifference, and failure. Because it could be you or me in gen pop for getting caught defying a “gun charge” or defending ourselves against a raging, out of control “Only One.”

The fact that inmate endangerment of assault, rape, and murder, is not only an issue, but a universal expectation, tells us much about the corruption and incompetence characteristic of total government control.

Speaking of Making Us All Look Bad

Santa Barbara City Employee Arrested on Drug, Gun, and Child Pornography Charges… Aldrich is also the current board president of the Winchester Canyon Gun Club. [More]

Nice final touch with the “45/47” shirt…

Yes, guilty until proven innocent, but if the former, we have to be the ones demanding to hang him higher — on everything but the gun charges — than anyone.

Jeez, and the cock hasn’t even crowed once…

And to think Prags used to accuse me or Mike of making us all look bad for calling out rights rapists and insisting on “shall not be infringed” with consequences for violations…
