“Because of what I now know, I have no further desire to be associated with the New Haven Police Department in any capacity.” [More]
A Groucho Marx line comes to mind.

We Want It to Be a Surprise!
All an Act?
Gun control was once ‘electoral kryptonite.’ Now Colorado Democrats are emboldened — and prepared to act [More]
Yes, they do show their true colors when they’re convinced they have the numbers to forcwe things down yout throat and gloat about it.
The question here is, what does “prepared to act” really mean?
[Via bondmen]
By Any Other Name
Infectious AND Antidemocratic!
Guns, in other words, are not just threats to public health; they are threats, as historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, to the “strong civic culture and a public sphere conducive to social trust and altruism” that healthy democracies require. [More]
He starts with a faulty premise and goes downhill from there.
Aaron Zelman had a term for such as Metzl and Ben-Ghiat.

Cassandra’s Curse
Most of us who are “truth tellers,” have experienced persons who refuse to see what is coming, regardless of the evidence. [More]
Who else knows the feeling?
Kicking the Can
The Kali Key completely changes the classification from Semi to Non Regulated Bolt Action. [Watch]
Or as an old friend of mine once said:
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.

The Campaign Trail
2024 BFA-PAC Grades and Endorsements for the Ohio Primary [More]
One thing I haven’t done is vet candidates for proof of commitment, so use this as a guide but do your own due diligence. I might be able to affect the U.S. Senate race, but I’ve pretty much been redistricted out of having a say in the rest of it.
And yeah, Dolan’s a douche.
Enter the Dragon
Meanwhile, Across the Pond…
We’re the Only Ones Undeterring Enough
San Francisco police station burglarized in Fillmore District [More]
Even when they’re only seconds away…
Them “declin[ing] to say what the suspect has been accused of stealing or how much it was worth” gives me hope it will fall below the $950 threshold.
Yeah, of course that’s one they’ll proscute, further adding to “Only Ones” exclusivity.

It’s a Big Club and You Ain’t In It
The Texas Republican — infamously photographed by a gawker while en route to Cancún in 2021 — is proposing a bill amendment that would offer lawmakers a dedicated security escort at airports, along with expedited screening outside of public view. That could make it much less likely that the politicians’ comings and goings would become fodder for embarrassing news reports and late-night comedy mockery. [More]
Yeah, further separate them from the edicts they impose on the rest of us, that’s the ticket!
Read the room, Ted. Is this really what you think an angry electorate will embrace? The embarassment and handing political enemies an opening for comedic mockery is overwhelmingly self-created.
That’s the Spirit!

Full Contact Phone Tag
This clip shows a migrant on a moped dragging a woman along a New York City street to steal her phone. This is what Democrats and RINOS want for our country. Unfettered access to America to commit crimes against citizens. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bellyachin’
Ohio needs a red flag law to prevent needless deaths [More]
In other words, grinning useful idiot Kevin interacted with the nut job, noticed and/or said nothing, and is now trying to alleviate his guilt by denying due process to everyone.
He’s one of these and one of these. Surprise, surprise, he’s one of these:
I am a progressive Democrat…
Read down further and you’ll also see him parroting the “assault-style rifle” narrative, meaning if you give him red flags he’ll be on to the next objective, and then the next…

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!
All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.

‘Propaganda is Not History’: Huge Account Claiming to Be Source of Black History Spreads Trayvon Myth [More]
Read some of the X comments and see how lynch mobs are formed.
I’ll bet more black people believe their version, and that’s been calculated by those with an agenda.

Reframing Bruen
As described above, the Petitioner has demonstrated and the Court finds that New York’s Red Flag Law is not beyond the “outer limits” the framers and ratifiers of the Second and Fourteenth amendment understood them, based on the nation’s historical traditions. [More]
It’s no surprise support for Red Queen laws comes from judges still inserting an affinity for the “collective right” interpretation into their arguments…

ROBO COP NYPD ditches its $12,500 Times Square subway police robot after only four months – and some commuters say good riddance [More]
Knightscope looks to be every bit the Democrat-enabling plunder-waster as ShotSpotter. And, considering who frequents where it’s located, it’s got me wondering about that button the public is supposed to touch for contacting NYPD…
Not on His Watch
And Ye Shall Hear of Wars and Rumors of Wars
Schumer Warns U.S. Troops Will Be Sent to Fight Russians if Border Bill Is Not Passed [More]
We could just try something else. How did Washington put it?
Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government. the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.
Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.
Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.
Or, we could ignore all that and listen to the same lying, oath-breaking whores who want our guns…

Ammo for the Enemy
Magliocca watched as Republicans such as Sens. Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney described the attack as an “insurrection.” [More]
Ah, the same “Republican leaders” all in on the Schumer invasion plot…
It’s almost like controlled opposition or something…
Toby or Not to Be
Toby Keith, a hit country crafter of pro-American anthems who both riled up critics and was loved by millions of fans, has died. He was 62. [More]

Savage Claims Self-Defense and LE Cover-Up in Dismissed Shooting Case
This piece came out while I was away. [Read]
Len Savage was arrested after defending himself, and while the charges against him were dropped, he’s demanding an investigation into LE motives for why his attacker isn’t being prosecuted.
We’re the Only Ones Keyed Up Enough
Police later said they were able to secure the school and determined that a student had a keychain with what appeared to be small revolver on it. [More]
Hysteria-producing ignorance this profound is engineered and directed, and you can literally tell people this unknowledgeable anything to spook them into demanding magic. And that’s just the way the prohibitonists want it.

Solving the ‘Red Book’ Problem
Rather than grousing about the cost of red books, the correct solution is to seek legislative redress from the General Assembly by allocating funding for the program. [More]
Me, I’d just get rid of permits.
But you need them for reciprocity to carry in other states?
Like I said, I’d just get rid of permits.
