Speaking of Collusion

Earlier this month, the states of California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York and Washington each introduced bills to impose state-level wealth taxes on residents. This is not a coincidence. Politicians are deliberately coordinating with their counterparts in other states to ensure that the legislation passes in ALL of the eight states. [More]

And as Biden and the Democrats made clear last night, they don’t plan on allowing any state to opt out.

The Monster Makers

Throughout history, excess wealth has been used to salve society’s problems, funding hospitals, food banks, and building libraries to develop minds and cathedrals to lift the spirits. But increasingly, the charitable urge has shifted away from such worthy causes and, increasingly, reflects a distinct progressive agenda that seeks, ultimately, to transform lives through the expansion of state power. [More]

A lot of people will have preceded them before the rope-selling “capitalists” get theirs. The creation becoming uncontrollable and turning on the Creator seems to be a recurring theme. We’ve seen it happen with our own government and there are no indications anything stands in the way of mass bloodthirsty madness but those who will not go gentle into that good night.

Or are we supposed to be special?

From the Same People Who Claim Guns* Don’t Protect

Democrats claim walls don’t work and are racist, except when they think they need them. Ahead of Biden’s state of the union address on Tuesday night, the fence has gone back up at the Capitol Building. The same fencing Democrat put up after J6. [More]

I can’t find it now, but years ago I blue-skyed the premise for a television movie script titled State of the Union in which “terrorists” were going to destroy the Capitol with everybody who was anybody in the three branches and military inside (this was long before Designated Survivor). It was going to segue back and forth between investigators finding things out and perpetrators advancing as the climax approached.

There were two alternate endings, one where they succeeded and one where they were stopped, and it was up to the viewing audience during the final commercial break to call the corresponding toll-free number (yeah, this was before widespread internet) to “vote” on who “won.” I figured it would be kind of an interesting commentary on public sentiment with government where nothing got hurt except ruling class feelings of arrogance and invulnerability.

I didn’t have the juice to make it happen then and I don’t now. Still, if anybody who does wants to, I’d love to help.

* I mean in private hands, of course, for those who feel compelled to remind me that guns are inanimate objects.

UPDATE

Looking at this in retrospect, if anybody ever tried making this now, I fear the motive would be to smear “seditious conspirators,” to show overwhelming support for our Democrat leaders, and to ID everyone who voted “wrong” for special scrutiny.

Just to Be Clear

Just to be clear, there is no such thing as “constitutional carry”. The constitution didn’t give anyone the right to carry guns publicly without permits, background checks, or training. This term was fabricated by the gun lobby to push for its any guns to anyone everywhere agenda. [More]

Just to be clear, the Constitution (capitalized) does not “give” rights. That deception was fabricated by the lying citizen disarmament lobby to swindle the ignorant.

UPDATE

And just to be clear, they’re a self-admitted hate group:

Commonsense Law-Abiding Citizen Control

Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis have proposed a motion that would direct the County’s legal counsel to study the feasibility and legality of implementing a countywide gun registry. [More]

Tell me these people aren’t shaking in their boots.

Everybody else? Well, is there a DROS file that could be used to identify scofflaws?

‘Other Purposes’?

H.R. 660: To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to require the safe storage of firearms, and for other purposes. [More]

159 treasonous Democrats have signed on as co-sponsors, and there’s a companion bill in the Senate.

Chances of passage with a Republican House are low, but you never know when the planets will converge to persuade the Vichycons to jump ship.

The Devil in the Details

This technical change pushes “others” within the definition of “assault weapon” under Connecticut’s ban… While residents of other states are able to register these firearms with the ATF, or change the short barrels for longer ones to make them legal, the ATF has stated that it will not permit any such registrations from Connecticut residents due to Connecticut’s “assault weapon” ban. Nor will changing out the barrels avoid redesignation as banned “assault weapons” under Connecticut law. [More]

Damned if they did, damned if they didn’t.

The Re-Reenactment

A new rule in Pennsylvania that will require re-enactors of a 1763 battle to lay down their weapons is drawing fire from a local historical society, the latest skirmish in the re-enactment world, which has been diminishing as hobbyists get older and sensitivities about restaging historical events have grown. [More]

A plan comes together.

If I may make a suggestion:

Give ’em walkie talkies!

Never Mind, eh?

Canada’s Liberal government repealed on Friday elements of its gun-control legislation that proposed banning rifles and shotguns widely used by hunters, farmers and indigenous communities. The surprise decision emerged after the plan to target thousands of rifles and shotguns sparked widespread opposition from the governing Liberals’ political allies on gun control, indigenous leaders and gun-rights advocates. [More]

Somebody misjudged blowback.

Now that the pressure’s been relieved, look for the only group caring about further infringements to be the one they believe they can safely ignore.
