Greenest State in the Land of the Free

First, court held that Tennessee’s “intent to go armed” statute violates the Tennessee Constitution and the Second Amendment. Second, the ruling declared unconstitutional Tennessee’s statute which makes it a criminal offense to merely carry certain weapons in parks and recreational areas even if for self-defense. [More]

Fine. A three-judge panel. What will the full court say, and how long will this intolerable nonsense go on?

I’m imagining what David Crockett would have had to say about this.

The Shape of Things to Come

Democrats break GOP’s supermajority in Iowa after flipping state Senate seat [More]

Democrat Catelin Drey got 55% of the vote. She’s the founder of Moms for Iowa, which proclaims on its website:

We are passionate about curbing gun violence…

So Iowa gun owners should have known she’s a danger.

Republican opponent Christopher Prosch was described by Iowa Firearms Coalition as a “pro-Second Amendment candidate.” Their interview video has generated a whopping 81 views at this writing with no apparent shares. Its posting on X.com garnered one repost.

If gun owners don’t get involved — meaningfully — we can kiss the midterms goodbye. Don’t believe “the”gunfluencer” hype about Democrats being out of money, because the special interests it represents aren’t, or the party being too far left, because the dumbed-down, outraged, resentful and self-entitled constituents aren’t.

Apathy has always been a greater enemy than the antis, and if it continues, count on those who never lifted a finger to bitch and moan the loudest.

“We” sure do put a lot of deserved blame on Republicans. When a good one comes along, who helps ensure self government through representation?

A Man of Letters

We can always count on your paper to print illogical rants when it comes to guns, and the Aug. 4 editorial where it lent its voice to the New York Daily News was no exception (“Gullible public laps up same toxic myth about guns”). [More]

WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M got another letter published

Every regular reader here — especially those of you who post comments — has everything he needs to write a letter to the editor. Why not do it?

I used to get ’em published all the time — before I started blogging and doing magazine columns (nice to see SCOTUS has finally come around on history and tradition):

Great… my woke spell check is acting up again:

Not That It Helps Her…

The Air Force veteran who was gunned down in cold blood on January 6, unarmed, wearing a Trump flag as her cape, has had her military honors restored. After years of being denied the recognition she earned through her service under the Biden regime, part one of “Justice For Ashli Babbitt” has begun with this long-overdue vindication. [More]

Tell me Part Two will end with the Byrd Man behind bars.

Sending a Message

Former Mexican cartel kingpin Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada will spend the rest of his life in prison after pleading guilty Monday to U.S. drug trafficking charges and saying he was sorry for helping flood the U.S. with cocaine, heroin and other illicit substances and for fueling deadly violence in Mexico. [More]

Sounds like he doesn’t want to be found hanging by a chain and is signaling those who betrayed and supplanted him that, with a plea deal that “doesn’t obligate Zambada to cooperate with government investigators,” it’s better for everyone concerned not to try.

Special Education

Now all Oregonians will be getting a taste of what the legislature dishes out to gun owners year after year. [More]

Based on results Democrats getting a free ride like the taste, the brainwashed ones in the middle have bought into the “fair share” nonsense, and the ones at the top gaining more power and influence have money men to dodge and minimize the impacts.

Who’s the Boss?

Rogue DOJ Lawyers Rebel Against Trump, Still Fighting GOA in Court Over Biden’s Gun Control” [More]

No, that’s not where three buck stops. And it doesn’t excuse untreated bipolarity. I’ve been a manager before. It’s on you to direct your good people and cull the bad ones.

This is what happens when key people are purposely excluded— although the way those key people have avoided acknowledging that and demanding their seat at the table is telling. They’re all cowed and walking on eggshells hoping to be able to claim credit for scraps while not offending a mercurial Patrón from turning on them for being “disloyal.”

My Friends, Ya Got Trouble

Trump to allow 600,000 Chinese students entry to US for college as trade talks with China press on [More]

That’s capital ‘C’ and it rhymes with ‘T’…

So… military age, huh?

Just in case anyone’s into numbers, that’s more than the active duty troops total for the spread-across-the-globe Army and Marine Corps combined…

This 3D chess makes my head hurt.

Tangentially Related UPDATE

What’s that word for the state owning the means of production again…?

Talk about gun control! This is what some are calling “pragmatic”? This line in particular recalls nothing so much as what Captain Kirk said to Jojo Krako:

Such ownership would not dictate policy from above, nor should it. But it would create a built-in incentive for the government to preserve a healthy firearms ecosystem.

Who’s dictatin’? We’re incentivizin’!

Good grief.

Hold That Tiger

There are some behaviors so aberrant, some crimes so vicious, and some consciences so amoral that it can never be safe to allow a congenital predator unfettered access to a potential victim pool and not expect that innocents will be attacked. [More]
