Don’t Cry for Me Argentina

President of Argentina Javier Milei signed a decree Wednesday broadening gun rights in the country by allowing Argentine civilians to purchase and possess semiautomatic weapons for the first time in 30 years. [More]

It’s not uninfringed, but it’s a damn sight better than it was.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

The US government skyrocketed the USAID budget for Brazil while Bolsonaro was there. Not to help Brazilians economically, but to flood the political opposition in Brazil with money to try to take him out. [More]

Unsurprisingly

Today’s Low-Hanging Fruit Report

Federal agents thwart man’s explosive alleged plot against officers during LA riots – Store employees alerted authorities after suspect allegedly requested ‘largest explosives available’ to use against law enforcement [More]

So the headline really ought to be “Store employees thwart self-incriminating moron’s…”

Note he had to go to New Mexico because California bans all but so-called “safe and sane” fireworks, the kind that whistle and sparkle, but don’t fly or explode.

As with guns, the Democrat “solution” is to ban them everywhere.

I’m Late, I’m Late

Had a real late night. Had to write an article. Had to deal with problems in the basement resulting from recent storms that I noticed had worsened the other day when we had to retreat there because of two separate tornado warnings.

I’ll see what I can get to with news tip posts for the rest of the day.

Those are my excuses. Anyone still not satisfied, please see my money back guarantee policy in the right sidebar.

Semper Paratus

Former Coast Guard Officer Arrested for Allegedly Making Numerous Trump Assassination Threats [More]

So, when the grabbers use vets to stump for citizen disarmament, we should remember the false authority logical fallacy and that one of the biggest traitors was a “war hero”?

Food Fight!

Court documents said the incident happened in July last year in the 1200 block of Hampton Avenue, located in the Clayton-Tamm, where 60-year-old Reginald Wright became upset with employees that his food did not match the photos that were presented on the menu. [More]

I remember I had the same complaint once. Not being self-entitled, this is how I handled it:

Speaking of photos, where’s one of Reginald?

FAFO

An unidentified man died at the scene after allegedly trying to rob an off-duty officer’s property in Weatherford, Texas, and being shot dead by that officer. [More]

Sounds like a happy ending.

I didn’t give this an “Only Ones” title because I’m presuming in Texas an ordinary armed citizen could do the same.

The again, I’m assuming the level of investigation into what happened would be the same.

Sometimes All You Can Do is Infer

There is something truly bizarre about these Minnesota Democrat shootings The cops weren’t supposed to show up while the assassin was at Melissa Hortman’s home It made the shooter rush out and now it seems like they’re cleaning up the crime scene to frame it as something different Just bizarre [More]

Not another “conspiracy nut“…

How about this?

Split Personalities

NOW: Circuit Split On 18-20 Year Old Bans… Judge ROASTS Everytown For Hints Of Racism, Sexism, etc [Watch]

And a circuit split is one of the conditions for SCOTUS to grant cert….

I respect that Braden Langley is one of the few who give links to substantiate and credit where they get their information from. That’s a litmus test for me. Too many “guntubers” don’t, which is another reason I rarely link to them, and avoid some altogether who just exploit the work of others.

It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over

But we’re not across the finish line just yet. Parts of the bill still need to be cleaned up, and there’s still a chance we get stabbed in the back right before the goal. It’s time to mobilize—one final push. This is our chance, and we can’t afford to waste it. [More]

I need to hear the fat lady sing.

Phase 3, Profit!

This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 0 to 14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15 to 17, 15 to 19, or even ages 15 to 24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 0 to 17, 0 to 19 or 0 to 24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies by claiming “gun violence is the leading cause of death of children.” [More]

Oh, I get it!
