We’re the Only Ones Ringing Enough

Law enforcement agencies will soon have easier access to footage captured by Amazon’s Ring smart cameras. In a partnership announced this week, Amazon will allow approximately 5,000 local law enforcement agencies to request access to Ring camera footage via surveillance platforms from Flock Safety. Ring’s cooperation with law enforcement and the reported use of Flock technologies by federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has resurfaced privacy concerns that have followed the devices for years.

Hey, if you have nothing to hide and haven’t done anything wrong, what’s the problem?

Playing Both Ends Against the Middle

Dimon did not denigrate President Donald Trump. Dimon was not complimentary of President Donald Trump. The JP Morgan CEO believes the U.S. Federal Reserve was doing a good job. In the past, Dimon has skirted questions about JP Morgan Chase Bank’s stance on gun control. It appears he has tried to avoid the issue while pleasing and provoking both Second Amendment supporters and those who want a disarmed population. [More]

I’m an “Apologize, repent, and make things right first” kinda guy.

Glock-Blocking

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning sales of one of the most popular types of handgun in the U.S… It covers handguns manufactured by Glock, as well as similarly designed pistols, that use a “cruciform trigger bar,” which lawmakers said makes them easily convertible to fully automatic fire. [More]

So that’s what being “a trusted partner of law enforcement” gets you…

That and “compromising” to save your skin

The “cool” thing is the “Only Ones” exemption is still there! That might actually be what keeps the PLCAA in play, although I’m sure there are Democrat activist federal judges eager to impose nationwide injunctions.

And I’m sure there’ll be no shortage of gun companies eager to keep the enforcers armed and ready to confiscate.

Trust But Verify?

These are very serious allegations that could destroy these guys’ business, so remember how we all worked ourselves into a lather over Donald Trump saying “Take the guns first, due process later.” It’s innocent until proven guilty, and it will be interesting to see how/if they respond.

The Plot That Keeps on Thickening

Our story so far:

Equivocation and avoidance is a funny way of proving you’re “True North Strong,” eh?

Know Your Enemy

The businesses listed below have Anti-Gun policies and many work actively to subvert your personal safety and civil rights. [More]

I didn’t see any there that couldn’t easily be boycotted or substituted for.

Unfortunately, don’t expect most gun owners to care enough to do anything about it, including expanding the list when new anti-gun businesses are found, notifying fellow gun owners, or doing something so simple as challenging businesses publicly on their social media feeds with this:

Yeah, I know, they “won’t do social media.” Or view it as advocacy media, another tool in the kit, another chair in the bar fight

Or do much of anything else

Who’s “our” real enemy, again?

Wren Collectivists

A consulting firm funded by left-wing billionaires has embedded itself in the offices of 40 progressive prosecutors, where it has quietly helped to craft soft-on-crime policies that now affect 48 million Americans across 22 states. Known as the Wren Collective, the firm provides its services to the prosecutors for free and with no expectation of publicity, according to a new report by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF).

Those who do not learn from history:

Most Russian elites did not support the Bolsheviks; those who did, or allied with them during the revolution, faced severe consequences. Many were executed during the Red Terror or later purged by Stalin, while others survived by concealing their origins or fleeing the country.

It will repeat itself.

Woke Castle

White Castle has integrated Be SMART resources into their employee Wellness Resource Guide and will be having in-person Be SMART events in the areas they serve that are hardest hit by gun violence. White Castle’s headquarters are in Columbus, OH. [More]

Openly partnering with Everytown rights swindlers is enough to keep me away, not that I’d eat the cheap slimers they’ve been clogging America’s arteries with for decades anyway…

And my liberal sensibilities are outraged by who such greedy corporations disproportionately target and discriminate against!

I guess they think this is like buying indulgences for “destroying the planet & devastating entire communities.” They must believe Polyphemus when he says he’s going to eat them last.

Et Tu, Glock?

Glock Supporting Gun-Control in Oklahoma – Glock Sides With Gun Control: A Betrayal of the Second Amendment [More]

Because the Second Amendment obviously wasn’t meant to protect “weapons of war,” right?

What self-serving weasels. Who do they think they are? Bill Ruger?

First they came for the MCDs… Do these quislings really think Polyphemus will eat them last?

As for David Hardin, on the plus side he co-sponsored an NRA/ORA Day resolution.

You know about ORA, right? The grassroots “gun rights leaders” who opposed permitless carry without background checks and training…?

With friends like these…

Life in the Gynoheirhead Nepocracy

See…? They’re not “anti-gun.”

They just don’t want you to have one.

Questions: Will this apply to anti-gun payment processors making decisions on their own without bureaucratic regulatory pressure? And anybody know if and how Merchant Category Codes may be affected?
