Lest Ye Be Judged

Pennsylvania judge convicted of shooting ex-boyfriend in head as he slept [More]

And “in a 2019 incident … she shot her estranged husband after asking him to come to her home to help move furniture…”?

Sounds like “can’t be trusted with a gavel” is the least of it…

Any bets against “Democrat“…?

On ‘Terrible Implements’

U.S. Second Amendment: Means ALL Weapons & ZERO Infringements [More]

Or as Tench Coxe put it:

Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American…

I’ve been following Alan Chwick’s work for a long time. Have you?

His insights, including when combined with those of Paul Gallant, Sherry Gallant, and his recently deceased writing partner Joanne D. Eisen, have been invaluable learning tools for me.

UPDATE

This comment is worthy of consideration.

I know that when I pointed out something that concerned me, Alan told me “Feel free to call it out. Open dialog is always good.”

Work in ‘Progress’

Amazon Brings Back Controversial Anti-Theft Metal Detector Screenings for Employees: ‘Make Our Facilities More Safe and Secure’ [More]

Because nothing improves employee morale like saying “We don’t trust you.”

Of course, that starts before Day One, when companies require you to submit a urine sample, and Americans have just gone along with it.

Very few can imagine jobs without submitting to such an insulting invasion of privacy and an assumption that having to prove innocence is the American way. And fewer of us remember.

The Reputation They’ve Earned

Another Fed Op? Former CIA Officer Says Ryan Routh Was Almost Certainly Speaking with FBI Agent Before Attempted Trump Assassination — There is NO WAY to Justify Him Getting on Golf Course with Rifle [More]

The pity of stories like this is thinking people can’t automatically dismiss them, and our receptiveness to entertaining the worst is on the FBI.

I Got Them Stupid Party Blues

In a bold but ultimately unsuccessful effort, State Rep. Brian Harrison (R–Midlothian) forced a vote Wednesday on a resolution to remove Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows, accusing him of betraying Republican voters and handing power to Democrats… The final vote was 141-2, with five members present but not voting, and two absent.

Could’a Been Full Contenders

The concept emerged for Mr. Roscher, 35, as he watched Russia invade Ukraine in 2022. Ukrainian civilians were flooding the streets with little ability to defend themselves. [More]

Which provided the biggest case for the Second Amendment until the government had second thoughts.

As much as these folks try to put distance between themselves and the Militia, what they’re doing is close except for our government abdicating its duty to officially organize, arm, and discipline, and in many cases outlawing private training.

The one thing I see missing from this writeup on the “prepared citizen movement” is political education and advocacy to forestall a lot of what they’re training for from growing into threats there is no other way of stopping. They’re not doing themselves or the rest of the Republic any favors if they’re training members who then turn around and vote for gun-grabbing Democrats.
