Bastille Day 2.0
Multiple French prisons have been attacked in recent nights, including with automatic weapons, in what the justice minister said on Tuesday was a response to a government clamp-down on a drug trade turbocharged by a surge in cocaine trafficking. Military-grade weapons were fired at entrance to Toulon prison, in southern France… [More]
The original inspiration was by violent lowlife scum, too.
With inmates like Mohamed Amra, I wonder how many of the attackers this time were named “Jaques,” or “Pierre”…
Hey, so much for French “gun control“!

Task Force’s Exclusion of Gun Owner Advocates Means Continuing DOJ Disappointments
Gun rights leaders and legal scholars could be identified and nominated to analyze and prioritize bills, lawsuits, regulations, opportunities, and threats, to advise on judicial and other federal nominees, and to help educate the public. [More]
Leaving the people most affected out of the discussion means they’ll end up being told instead of asked. Or as one comment poster notes, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”

Leave the zip ties at home…?
I had a face-to-face with my state rep once when I was in CA–she was a big gun-grabber and said straight to my face we probably weren’t that far off. And the thing is, her Republican challenger was just as bad.
What’s in a Word?
These five woke companies are still pushing DEI, but by a new name: “Belonging.”[More]
What’s the sentiment in that creepy song ab0ut stalking women who say “No, leave me alone”?
Oh, can’t you see you belong to me?
They’ll be watching you.

Deputy accidentally shoots herself in her leg during dog attack, PCSO says [More]
To her credit, she didn’t shoot the dogs’ owner.

Do Any of These People Not Look Like Total Losers?
DOJ Charges Man in Arson Attacks on New Mexico GOP Office, Tesla Showroom – Jamison Wagner, 40, supposedly belongs to the group “500 Queer Scientists.” [More]
They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but there’s an exception to every rule.
Lord knows the reason he’s so miserable couldn’t be him.

Going to the Dogs
Our 1 billion pet dogs do real environmental damage [More]
This environmentalcase talks about deer, foxes, and bobcats avoiding them like it’s a bad thing. I’ll let you know the next time one escapes in my neighborhood and kills a penguin.
I’m gonna need a bigger ashtray.
You want to see where the problem dogs overwhelmingly are in this country, follow the homicide data.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringed’ Is
HB 1163 – 2025-26 Enhancing requirements relating to the purchase, transfer, and possession of firearms… Third reading, passed; yeas, 29; nays, 19; absent, 0; excused, 1. [More]
It’ll be signed. Then it’s on gun owners paying to have their rights infringed to come up with more money to fight it in courts for years.

And By Trump, Musk, and ICE, He Means You
A Butler, Pennsylvania man was charged with making threats of murder and assault against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, among others. [More]
Butler? Is there something in the water there..?
I’d say tell Donie, but that pudgy Irish f_k knows exactly what he’s doing.
Say, shouldn’t all those gushing “gunfluencers” be celebrating our diversity?

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Trespassing Enough
St. Louis man arrested after impersonating officer, trespassing woman’s apartment [More]
As always, be aware that this is a pervasive phenomenon. You never know when you might need an “I did not believe he was a real cop” defense, so it won’t hurt to have plenty of examples of real threats to point to.

And That Takes Care of That
KC homeowner shoots male suspected of breaking into 30 cars Wednesday…The shooter was released after questioning. It’s unclear at this point if he could face any charges. [More]
I’d say if they call him back in it ought to be for a public ceremony where they give him a medal, but the cynic in me wonders if — based on who was shot — all defenders and reactions of neighbors would be treated the same.

They’re Not the ‘Only Ones’
Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. [More]
My guess would be the relevance of mentioning permits is that statistically, there may be more armed citizens with them in the types of areas where “active shootings” are more prevalent, especially since almost half the states don’t “allow” permitless carry. True, there’s no doubt an effect from the extra required training steps an average permit holder undergoes over permitless carriers, but I don’t think the data exists to quantify a difference. Many hardcore 2A activists who are practiced simply don’t believe in permits.

We’re the Only Ones Once Bitten Enough
“I told him he could take my gun and let me secure my dog,” said Phillips. “He didn’t listen. I had my hands up. I called them for help, and they came in hot, like I was the threat.” [More]
When you realize that when police show up they consider themselves the “Only Ones,” she was. So, of course he was cleared, bullet wond in her leg notwithstanding.
Officer safety, you see.
Make America Objective Again
Trump is Even Touching Hollywood [More]
Why is it the only question I can think to ask is “spits or swallows”?
When Mel Gibson was asked about 2A, he hemmed and hawed and called it “prickly.” Stallone at least took an unequivocal stance, declaring ““Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have.”
TIS is possibly even more destructive than TDS because it rationalizes, gives a pass on betrayals, divides, and impedes. It’s our duty to call out, condemn and defy opportunistic political duplicity. Otherwise, we get more.
Admiring the emperor’s new clothes when they’re nonexistent is delusional. The only way we win is with the truth, and if that means letting Professor Harold Hill know we’re on to him and he’d better deliver on the instruments and band uniforms he sold us on, so be it.
By all means, praise and defend him when he does right. Just don’t be afraid to point out when he does wrong, especially because see-no-evil gun owners might get mad at you.
Cloward-Piven Strategy Writ Large
A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of the more than 530,000 migrants … In her order, Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote that each migrant needs to have an individualized, case-by-case review. [More]
She knows there aren’t the resources to do that. Then would come the appeals. There aren’t enough courtrooms. The system would be… uh… swamped.
That’s the plan, and this treasonous communist Democrat b!+c# knows it.
The Pro-Assailant Lobby
As the late L. Neil Smith observed, every one of these people would rather see a woman “found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose” than armed.
