Bitter for Sweet

Personal responsibility and morality play far greater roles in promoting social peace than any government regulator recording names or bureaucratic billy club smashing heads. In American communities where citizens work, play, and pray together, peace and harmony exist without the need for some authoritarian police State breathing down everyone’s neck. [More]

It’s true. It’s not a police presence that keeps good people from victimizing others. So naturally, the authoritarian police state needs to mandate policies that ensure a critical mass of the citizenry is “wholly inadequate.”

And call those of us who aren’t haters and racists and Nazis and…

And What’s to Stop Her?

Hochul is saying she will comply with the Bruen rulings by making it more difficult to acquire a concealed handgun carry license. In other words, “I, Kathy Hochul, will comply with the Bruen rulings by not complying with them.” Huh! [More]

This will continue until rights enforcement slaps cuffs on her and all her co-conspirators.

Besides which, the DSM has dumbed enough constituents in “our democracy” down enough to be on her side.

The War on Citizens

Under the new law, entire categories of crime, such as aggravated batteries, robberies, burglaries, hate crimes, aggravated DUIs, vehicular homicide, drug induced homicides, all drug offenses, including delivery of fentanyl and trafficking cases, are not eligible for detention no matter the severity of the crime or the defendant’s risk to a specific person or the community, unless the People prove by clear and convincing evidence the person has a “high likelihood of willful flight to avoid prosecution.” Additionally, in cases involving non-probationable forcible felonies, such as murder and armed robbery, judges may only detain a defendant under the new law if the prosecution proves by clear and convincing evidence the defendant “poses a real and present threat to the safety of a specific, identifiable person or persons.” [More]

Establishing Justice, insuring domestic Tranquility, providing for the common defence, promoting the general Welfare, and securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, again, I see…

Y’know, any government that fails to do the above has given up any claim of legitimacy for the consent of the governed, and whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.

That’s probably why ruling Democrats want our guns.

Gun Theft Highlights Cognitive Dissonance of Democrat L.A. Mayoral Candidate

That “cash, electronics and other valuables” were “left behind” suggests that the object of the break-in was to get the guns, making fair the question of who knew Bass had them and how it is that they knew. [More]

It sounds like there’s a lot more to this story than has been revealed, but even if there’s not, the in-your-face hypocrisy alone ought to disqualify this self-serving hypocrite from office. Which means L.A. Democrats will be lining up to vote for her in droves…

I Destroyed My Trigger, But Don’t Have Any Proof. What Do I Do Now? [Watch]

Well, Captain Parker, if you refuse to cooperate we’re going to pay you a visit when you’re alone and we’re in force. Either that or you can sign this surrender decree, and Heaven help you if we find you’re lying…

She’s Got Hers

In celebration of New York’s new gun control law taking effect on September 1, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul claimed: “This whole concept that a good guy with a gun will stop the bad guys with a gun, it doesn’t hold up. And the data bears this out, so that theory is over.” [More]

I know someone who would not only disagree with that from personal experience, but in private he’d call her a name that rhymes with…

Funny. Her security team hasn’t disbanded.

The Company They Keep

Biden Accused Of Appointing ‘Satanist To The White House’ After Monkeypox Official’s Photos Surface [More]

Hey, why not cut to the chase and replace the story hour drag queens with who they’ve been preparing young kids for?

This is today’s Democrat party.

And they want your guns.

Spider & the Fly

  • Voters in Chile reject a new left-wing constitution
  • How many refugees from capitalism do you know?
  • Monuments to Disaster Coming Down in Europe
  • Sandinistas find they didn’t ‘do socialism right’
  • Cuban dictatorship will meet a violent end

And plenty more from Vietnam, China, and the Marxist hellhole of New York, brought to us by the Anticommunism Action Team.

The Last Roundup

FBI Raids Up To 50 Trump Allies In One Day: Bannon, Dhillon [More]

I saw something about this flash across the screen on Fox News as we left my Mom’s place Friday night, but on getting home saw nothing about it.

For some reason, most “real reporters” don’t find this newsworthy.

I wonder how long it will be until talk about the Second Amendment being a deterrent to tyranny is regarded as an actionable seditious conspiracy by federal law enforcement.

Metastasizing

A little over a month ago, merchant category codes for guns were still a little-discussed backdoor ploy.

Now they’re pounding on the front door with ISO announcing a global standard. (I know a bit about the process from a past life, back when everybody thought it was just about quality standards.)

Just a month and a half since my initial Firearms News warning, look at how this is dominating the narrative. Bottom line, if you want to do business, bureaucrats in Geneva say you have to turn snitch.

Funny thing about all those headlines spreading the same talking points: None of them are documenting the communist front groups behind the demand for this.

No Safe Harbor

‘They’ Are Definitely Getting Prepared. Are You? [More]

Me, I think they’re building a trap for themselves.

I don’t think there’s any running. If the U.S. goes there will be no safe haven elsewhere. And anyone reliant on others to provide “security” need to ask themselves what’s to keep the help from taking over when there’s no one to stop them,  plenty of material incentives, and trophy wives and daughters to be passed around.

We Had No Idea!

“People question, like, why do you need my driver’s license for ammo?” Adamski said. “I’m 70 years old, and why are you taking all this information? So, I mean, people are apprehensive about it. I mean, most people understand it. You know it’s not me, it’s the state. But you know there are some people that are just they don’t know why, it’s so absurd to them.” [More]

Yeah, well, where have they been? And how do they vote?

I honest to God think if I were an FFL and some self-imposed ignoramus asked me that I’d tell him to get the hell out of my store, I’m saving my inventory for those who deserve it.

This is the clueless-by-choice population the antis exploit when they tell us “x% of gun owners support” more infringements.
