Enemy Inside the Gates

Everyone should read this oped by NRA member, former gun salesman and AR-15 owner DC police Officer Michael Fanone on why we need to ban the sale of weapons like the AR15 [More]

Here’s what the “Only Ones”/DSM combo Quisling says:

I’m also a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association. [More]

Then he ought to be expelled for cause:

Association Bylaws, Article III, Sec. 11, “Involuntary Termination of Membership and Disciplinary Proceedings” states in part:

“Any individual or organization member may be suspended or expelled for good cause, including, but not limited to, any conduct which is contrary to, or in violation of the Bylaws of the Association.”

Public anti-gun advocacy is in direct conflict with Article II, Purposes and Objectives, section 1:

“To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, especially with reference to the inalienable right of the individual American citizen guaranteed by such Constitution to acquire, possess, collect, exhibit, transport, carry, transfer ownership of, and enjoy the right to use arms, in order that the people may always be in a position to exercise their legitimate individual rights of self-preservation and defense of family, person, and property, as well as to serve effectively in the appropriate militia for the common defense of the Republic and the individual liberty of its citizens;”

Additionally, Article III, “Membership,” section 1., “Eligibility,” requires that the member “subscribes to the objectives and purposes of the Association.”

But no worries– Fairfax didn’t have the guts to do it to Michael Moore so they won’t do it here.

We’re the Only Ones Promoted Enough

Michael Byrd, who fatally shot rioter Ashli Babbitt as she tried to break into the Speaker’s Lobby, will be promoted to captain, according to an internal announcement reviewed by CQ Roll Call that lists more than 30 employees moving up the ranks on Sunday. [More]

Reinforcing their Dunning-Krueger self-evaluations and rewarding them is one way to keep the ones on the fence from spilling their guts. And this Byrd fool is incompetent enough to believe he deserves it.

We’re the Only Ones Stepping Up Enough

The two-step is a tactic where a state trooper will pull an individual over for a traffic infraction and, after issuing a ticket, take steps back toward their vehicle. They will then turn around and initiate a new interaction with a driver, which the highway patrol classifies as a voluntary stop. [More]

If they’re not free to leave without getting double-tapped, it’s hardly voluntary.

Never Forget

“Only following orders” — this is why the authoritarians are so determined to smear and destroy the concept of Oath Keepers and Three Percenters.

Been a while since I’ve seen these clips. The thought strikes: Whatever became of excuse-making JBTs-by-their-actions Fred Bible and Chris Montgomery?

The thought also strikes in all this time I’ve never seen one “commonsense gun safety advocate” condemn this tyranny.

“Few bad apples” my … eye. Every damn one of them. And remember, all good “conservatives” say “Back the Blue!”

Sing it, George!

We’re the Only Ones Forgetting Our Place Enough

Nine current or former Antioch and Pittsburg police officers and one community service officer were charged Thursday in a federal corruption investigation that found evidence they committed civil rights violations and fraud in an effort to get a pay raise and lied on reports to cover up use of excessive force, U.S. authorities said. [More]

What is it about Democrat capos?

And don’t they know the underbosses and consiglieres will tell them when they can take their cut?

Excuse Me While I Go on a Rant

Georgia man finds squatters in his home, calls police, gets arrested for home invasion [More]

Sounds like a case for justifiable use of force to me. The “Only Ones” who would stop it are the ones whose sole purpose is “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Without that there is no consent of the governed.

I’m particularity sensitive to the state favoring parasites because this happens to coincide with my receiving a letter from the county mandating a huge increase in my property taxes. So allow me to segue into something tangentially related.

For a supposedly Republican state, all my reps from City Council on up sure are quiet about this. I went looking for organized tax protesters and the closest thing I could find was an Ohio Tea Party Facebook group with fewer followers than I have that’s totally focused on Donald Trump memes.

The one state senator I did find offering a tepid way to recalculate reappraisals and focused on farms was sabotaged by Republican “leadership.” I’m thinking it was probably all noise anyway, because I see the same “conservative” co-sponsored SENATE BILL 54, to “Establish the New African Immigrants Grant and Gift Fund.”

The GOP is tone deaf. And suicidal.

Running Toward the Danger

Not exactly Scot Peterson or a Hero of Uvalde, is he?

All I can say about the perp is “rigorous.”

Hey, that’s not going to get me in trouble with Ed, is it?

And how come we can’t get bodycam footage for Craig Deleeuw Robertson?

We’re the Only Ones Unmarked Enough

From Denver, another tragic story about cops shooting and killing someone holding a “weapon” that turned out to actually be a harmless object. In this case, an officer with the Denver Police Department (DPD) shot and killed a man armed with a marker. The officer (whose name has not been released) said she believed that 36-year-old Brandon Cole had been holding a knife when she shot him on the evening of August 5. [More]

Unmarked, unnamed, unaccountable…

We’re the Only Ones Manifest Enough

Unfortunately, they’re the only ones who have seen it. Local and federal authorities with access to the manifesto have refused to make its contents public. [More]

Ha! They used “Only Ones.”

I can’t offer more than this and can’t force anyone to pay attention to it.

UPDATE

I’ll give it another shot.

Oakland PD Airhorn Advice is an Admission of Gun Control Failure

Oakland officials not only don’t have a plan to fix anything but what they’re doing can only make things worse. [More]

What we have here are useful idiots who don’t have a clue being manipulated by power interests who know exactly what they’re doing.

We’re the Only Ones Asking Enough

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office published a post on Twitter and Facebook stating Florida’s new permit-less concealed carry law “requires” law enforcement to question people who are carrying concealed firearms & weapons to verify their eligibility. The law makes no such requirement, and JSO was directly challenged regarding this unconscionable lie. JSO subsequently revised the post text to read that law enforcement “may” ask questions regarding one’s eligibility. [More]

“Only Ones” ignorant of the law about citizens rights? Where have we ever seen that before?

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

But a main driver is the growing availability of guns, said Jill Harkavy-Friedman, senior vice president of research at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. [More]

Well, then, we know who we have to disarm first.

Curious, no one ever wants to talk about “gun-free” Japan
