Must Be an Election Year

Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-04) introduced the Freedom from Taxes Act, landmark legislation that fully repeals the remaining excise taxes imposed on machine guns and destructive devices under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The bill also eliminates the Special Occupational Tax (SOT) on Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), delivering significant tax relief to law-abiding gun owners and America’s firearms industry. [More]

Prognosis:

0% chance of being enacted

We’re the Only Ones Opaque Enough

California’s $7 Million Police Transparency Website Missing Cases Post 2024 – A police transparency project based out of the University of California Berkeley started off strong but has since fizzled out as law enforcement fights the release of records. [More]

To borrow one of their interrogation techniques, if they’re not doing anything wrong, what have they got to hide?

The suspect was heard cocking a gun as he opened Vargas’ driver side door. Vargas appeared to stay calm as Martinez watched in shock. Vargas gave the carjacker his belongings and exited the vehicle. [More]

Who thinks his still being alive is due to “commonsense gun safety laws”?

A Stock Answer

Now remove all the other sentences and we have a deal.

Anyway, I’m safe. For now.

And PLEASE Don’t Throw Me in That Briar Patch!

Black families, donors, and athletes should boycott college athletic events in states that refuse to illegally gerrymander districts in favor of black politicians, according to the NAACP. [More]

That sounds as bad as the comfy chair

I wonder if they realize how many young black athlete’s lives that will ruin, and how many will then end up being “disproportionately represented in the justice system”…

Hey, who else can say “CP”…?

“It’s Either Us Or Them’: Far-Left French Mayor Calls For Insurrection If Conservatives Win Presidential Election [More]

Bally Bagayoko, eh? I guess it’s only fair that France becomes a colony of the Malians.

Not ‘The Only Ones’?

Trump’s Secret Service engaged in ‘intense standoff’ with Chinese officials over gun – Members of President Donald Trump’s Secret Service detail have reportedly clashed with Chinese officials after they were denied entry into a historic Beijing temple because one of the agents was carrying a gun.

Cancer Starts Out as Localized Cells

Tradition HOA bans firearms in common areas, sparking debate and pushback from Port St. Lucie official – The new rule applies to everyone, including concealed carry permit holders, and covers parks, trails, and public gathering spaces in the Port St. Lucie community. [More]

The police chief says he won’t enforce it as a criminal action but I imagine if it resulted in a trespassing charge they’d have to get involved.

It sounds like the HOA has its share of idiots besides the ones on the board. I’m talking YOU, Tomasz.

And I’m reminded of Witless and Titless.
