A New York State of Mind

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a dominant 20-point lead in the race for New York City Hall — bolstered by majority support from black, Latino and Asian voters, according to a new poll released Tuesday. [More]

And remember: Our diversity is our strength!

Guess who called Mexican “lazy,” said that “n_s [were]  a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us,”asserted “The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew,” and attributed “hereditary stupidity” to the Chinese.

So, would it be possible to ask if those characterizations apply to any who would vote for a Marxist, or would that get me condemned as a racist?

The Devil You Know

Schumer becomes a campaign trail punching bag for some Democrats [More]

Don’t celebrate just yet.

Expect the citizen disarmament demands fueled by immature and unrestrained passions to be even more ludicrous. On the one hand, there’s a silver lining to that, but only if gun owners are informed and engaged, and if Republicans don’t blow it.

Nice Group You Got Here… Shame if Something HAPPENED To It…

The Second Amendment Foundation announced today the Washington State Attorney General’s Office has signed an agreement ending a three-year investigation which revealed no wrongdoing by SAF or its personnel, in exchange for the foundation’s withdrawal of its federal civil rights lawsuit against the AG’s office, former Attorney General Bob Ferguson and other defendants. [More]

Sounds like a job for Harmeet Dhillon, a state with unlimited tax-plundered financial resources extorting a rights group into dropping a legitimate complaint…

We’re the Only Ones Gripping Enough

Cody Haegelin, a 14-year veteran of the San Antonio Police Department who is part of the SWAT team, turned himself in to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with assault by choking/strangulation — family. [More]

I’m wondering what he’d do if he got those mitts on someone he didn’t “love”

Look at all those other SAPD charges against officers for DWI, domestic violence, kiddie porn, child sexual abuse…

Let’s see, hitting fiancée with rock, feeding sh!+ sandwich to homeless guy, fighting…

I used to work for a company with more employees than this, for over 16 years, and don’t remember any getting their names in the paper…

Back the Blue…?

The way San Antonio backs you?

About That New and Improved ATF…

New Leak Reveals ATF War Against the Franklin Armory Antithesis… One of the potential concerns for the ATF involves the import and export of firearms. If a 5.56 Antithesis is allowed to exist, some in the ATF are concerned about the import/export rules around rifles. [More]

The story so far

Pro-gun chief counsel,” eh…?

Could this help?

Trump Could End Bush Sr.’s 1989 Semi-Auto Rifle Import Ban with Stroke of the Pen

Why Haven’t Membership Gun Groups Asked Him? [More]

Seems a fair enough question. It would be a win for us and a win for him.

The Impossible Dream

More Ideas For Fixing 2A Task Force (Codrea) [More]

There’s one other idea that would bypass all the FACA restrictions: Form a PRIVATE 2A Working Group with reps from gun orgs, influencers,2A legal minds, etc., a Gun Confederation, if you will. They could “meet” once a quarter or so (Zoom? MS Teams?) and invite relevant experts and a DOJ rep to their sessions.

They could consult with members/followers and cooperatively come up with and prioritize workable ideas on legislation, lawsuits, rules, appointments, etc., and routinely update gun owners, representatives, and put the administration on notice with position papers on how to advance the agenda and their policy expectations.

How’s that for a pipe dream that none of them would touch with a 10-foot pole?

Strange Bedfellows

Italy’s Refusal to Recognize Palestinian State Sparks Violent Riots
“Milan right now looks like a literal war zone. A coalition of far-left activists and Muslim migrant gangs is currently rioting and destroying the city. … Total chaos.” [More]

I’m wondering what Uncle Nick is thinking about this.

Who’s up for saving Europe from itself… again?

We’re the Only Ones Terroristic Enough

North Carolina detention officer fired after allegedly posting ‘I am Antifa’ on social media [More]

It’s a big club and he’s in it.

Anti-“fascist,” eh? I wonder if he even knows what those are, and that Mussolini in a power dispute with the Party replied:

“Do not imagine that by tearing up my membership card in the Socialist Party you can forbid my socialist faith or prevent me from continuing to work for the cause of socialism and the revolution”

Guess who else was “at heart a left winger“?

This Edwards character is just the guy I want correcting people who’ve already proven they can’t be trusted to live among the civilized.

Meanwhile, Over on the Road to Damascus…

South Dakota Democratic lawmaker switches registration to Republican – South Dakota Rep. Peri Pourier indicated that the key pillars of the GOP line up ‘with the principle of tribal sovereignty’ [More]

Whaddya know, she’s not a kneejerk gungrabber:

Pourier says school gun bill protects children… “As a mother, I worry about school shootings every day. So, I have to explain to everyone why did I vote for this bill. I’m gonna tell you if there was a school shooting in Wanblee, South Dakota, it would probably take more than an hour to respond.”

Seems pretty commonsense to me…
