We’re the Only Ones Special Enough

You know, the “officials” tasked with putting YOU away for claiming your right to keep and bear arms.

Naturally, none of the objections to “ordinary citizens” being armed will be raised. And every day we see how special the elites are.

Like the sidebar says:

About “The Only Ones”
So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.

Now We’re Just Haggling Over the Price

It’s the embarrassing charge that raises eyebrows because York is reportedly worth $500 million and the family fortune is believed to hover around $8.5 billion, but he allegedly tried to enlist the services of a prostitute for $140. [More]

Hey, he can afford expensive whores, like the ones he gave half-a-million to for more citizen disarmament.

“It seems insane to me that a citizen can buy something like that,” York said… “I’m not anti-Second Amendment. This is something that is common sense.”

Come and take it, rich kid. I’ve taken on bigger and better-funded bullies than you.

What seems insane to me is people who won’t control themselves demanding to control those of us who do not share in their moral defects.

Like the whole damn NFL.

We’re the Only Ones Muzzling Enough

Henderson County DA STRIPS Trinidad, TX Police Department of Prosecution Power After Cops Arrested Two Citizen Journalists for Exercising Their First Amendment Rights [More]

Ah well, the taxpayers would have probably blown the money they’re going to have to shell out on the lawsuit on stuff like clean water anyway…

We’re the Only Ones Trigger-Happy Enough

Dashcam video from a police vehicle records 12 shots fired; one round from the less lethal shotgun and 11 rounds from the officer’s handgun. The vehicle then stopped. Chief Cox said no shots were fired from the vehicle and no officers were injured… The officers could face verbal discipline up to termination.[More]

What could you or I face? Then again, we’re not highly trained professionals…

Angie’s List

Florida DSA Candidate Angie Nixon Says Republicans ‘Literally Trying to Kill Us’ [More]

As opposed to what those bent on disarming us are willing to have their enforcers do if we say “No”…

“She tragically lost her favorite cousin to gun violence,” she tell us.

He “was lost to the school-to-prison pipeline,” she admits, without telling us his part in things, the choices he made, or even his name, so we can find out for ourselves.

Maybe someone should ask.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Federal Enough

FBI warns of New England scammers impersonating FBI agents – The scammers are telling victims their information was used to create an account to purchase illegal firearms, the FBI said. [More]

And then what? The article is a little light on what they’re telling people to get them to fork over money.

That on what the difference is between a private scammer and an official asset forfeiture claimant, aside from the latter being a lot more lucrative and dangerous…

Ohio doctor who wrote paper on why teens kill allegedly murdered in plot orchestrated by her own teenage daughter… When pressed further, however, Bryanna began revealing new details – including that she was dating Evans, who is black, and that her parents were ‘very racist.’ [More]

Aid and Comfort to the Enemy

Abdulelsayed

New documents reported by ‘The Midwesterner’ say El-Sayed’s birth mother, Fatten Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, also known as the IARA. The U.S. Treasury Department in 2004 designated the network as an organization supporting terrorism, including support for Osama bin Laden and Hamas. [More]

Yes, I meant to say “enemy.”

$#!+ or Go Blind?

Grnc

That raises an uncomfortable legal question GRNC’s counsel has flagged: if federal registration is impossible for a covered item, does not being registered still count as being “in compliance with” the federal scheme for purposes of North Carolina’s exception? No court or state authority has answered that question. Until one does, NC gun owners are in a zone of legal ambiguity. [More]

So… I take it Ted Davis and Bill Brisson will be no help?

Those Eggs are Going to Make Some Fine Chickens

There’s huge news breaking out all across the United States when it comes to our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, including an anticipated huge victory when it comes to our right to keep and bear arms in June of 2027 dealing with those two pending AR-15 ban cases in the US Supreme Court. I had a long talk with Steven Halbrook…involving the history of gun registrations, gun licensing, quote unquote assault weapon bans, the movement to ban guns in the United States, the history of that, the Supreme Court, where it’s going… [Watch]

I hate to be the one who keeps bringing up Mr. Wolf (NSFW!), but a lot can happen between now and then, and I keep remembering the adage about how to make God laugh.

I hope I’m being unnecessarily pessimistic.

Don’t Let the Door Hit Ya

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is looking to leave his role at the Pentagon around the end of 2026 following a months-long turf war with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former White House official and another source familiar with the discussions told The Hill on Friday. [More]

Good.

If he’s sleeping with one enemy, who’s to say he hasn’t been sleeping with another, NSSF’s obsequious fawning notwithstanding?

Skin in the Game

Ex-“Only One” out to make a few bucks… figures. And, of course, no mention of FASTER.

Now do one on teachers trying to put out a five-alarm fire and use that as justification to remove extinguishers.

What a dishonest presentation. Nobody’s asking them to play Bruce Willis clearing the Nakatomi Tower.

And nobody’s forcing a commitment on anyone. But you start infringing on individual choice to exercise Constitutionally – protected freedom under force of arms and you’ve told everyone whose camp you’re in. As have voices supporting that, using the false authority logical fallacy to mask the fact that anyone defending “gun-free zones” is an oath-breaking statist.

But you know who agrees with you on no guns in schools, Jason?

Piecemeal Prohibitionists

Me-can I buy individual parts? State-yeah, for repairs. Do I have to prove I have the gun first? No…. So I can just buy all of the parts in a build kit individually in the same cart and purchase just not as a single item….. [More]

Careful:

While HB 1240 obviously targets complete firearms, its language is written broadly enough to ensnare PARTS [Emphasis Added] and kits that could be used to assemble a banned weapon. This is a huge minefield for online sellers.

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, but if I were going to try a workaround, I’d find a way that didn’t leave a trail of invoice breadcrumbs.

And naturally, what would any militia disarmament edict be without a standing army exemption?

The law does have carve-outs for sales to law enforcement agencies and active-duty military personnel who are purchasing for official use. 

Just like the Framers intended, no?

Left Standing

Ninth Circuit Rejects California, Giffords Bid to Expand ATF ‘Ghost Gun’ Rule… Article III standing, Judge Consuelo Callahan explained, is a “bedrock constitutional requirement.” Federal courts decide actual cases involving concrete injuries. They are not supposed to serve as another legislative chamber for states and political organizations unhappy with federal policy. [More]

Yeah, but “without prejudice” means they’ll be back with a new angle, and a panel does not the whole Ninth Circuit make.

More out ‘standing” news

An anti-energy Democrat with a criminal background supporting “Only Ones” enforcing citizen disarmament… How “progressive” is that?
