The Lion’s Share

Northern California county declares mountain lions ‘imminent threat’ [More]

Go on, prohibitionists: Tell us what we need to defend ourselves.

Remember the good old days, before “progressives” took over?

I’m thinking of starting a side hustle selling lion spray to hiking California Democrats.

DOJ Tells Virginia ‘See You in Court’ After Latest Gun Ban – Virginia defined those guns as “assault firearms.” [More]

It doesn’t strike ruling Democrats that the official seal of the Commonwealth shows armed Virtue standing over a slain corpse, with the motto “Thus always to tyrants,” or that the fallen crown shows what the Founders had in mind by “No Kings”…?

You’re to Blame for This, You Know

2 in custody after multiple ‘random’ Austin shootings
Police said the suspects have carried out up to 10 attacks, injuring as many as four people… the suspects have been identified as a 17-year-old male and a 15-year-old male. The 17-year-old suspect had a previous warrant for theft of a gun and the 15-year-old is believed to have stolen a gun from the same location on Saturday. The duo is accused of stealing four vehicles over the course of the entire incident. [More]

If there were no guns this couldn’t have happened.

UPDATE: They caught Thing 3. They’re just not telling us much about any of them yet.

For some damn reason, Outlook is rejecting some emails and deleting others. I’ve restored ones I need, checked the filters, and changed my passkey but still don’t know if there are problems, and if so, what’s causing them. The rejected emails aren’t even showing up in my junk file– they’re just blocked from the get-go.

For the time being, if you try to email me at [email protected] and get a rejected notice, an alternative email is [email protected]. You can also message me on X or Facebook.

And it’s not a storage issue:

At least notices I accept from MoveOn and The Washington Post are getting through, as are Junk emails…

LEGO Gun Suspension a Continuation of ‘Zero Tolerance’ Bullying of Children by ‘Adults’

Lego Gun

The engineered results are predictable: Ignorance begets fear and fear begets hate. [More]

Instead of giving children building blocks to work with, collectivist “educators” are putting up knowledge blocks to intimidate and discourage them.

Bear Knuckle Fighting

That’s right, if you’re going to be hiking, camping, or carrying a pick-a-nick basket into Yosemite or one of the other four national parks in Cali, don’t bring bear spray with you. It’s against the law. [More]

And, naturally, Yellowstone Rules also apply to guns there.

I’m glad I didn’t have to find out in my bear encounter (that happened technically in a National Forest, but still, California). I was just happy that when I screamed in surprise it sounded more like a roar and less like a girl.

Lie of Omission

Beard was more than a leader. He was a pioneer in the gun violence prevention movement. In 1974 Mike founded what eventually became known as the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence… [More]

Oh, you mean the National Coalition to Ban Handguns

And we’re supposed to believe their “research”?

They still want to “lop off both ends” and then move inward.

Technical Difficulties

Technicaldifficulties

I see the site was producing “Too many requests” errors again today. As noted before, this site is not a revenue generator and unless I want to spend the money to get off the shared server that’s going to be something I have to live with — unless and until I change that, all I can suggest is to give it an hour or so and try later. Sorry.

Also, I’ve been told my Hotmail account has been rejecting some emails– and they’re not showing up in the Junk folder, so I have no idea from who and how many unless you tell me. If you can’t get through by email, leave a comment here or message me on FB or X.

Looks like I’m not gonna be a tech billionaire after all.

‘Common Use’ Challenge to Denver Semi-Auto Ban Misses Important Point

“The City has banned an arm in common use for lawful purposes by law-abiding citizens. Therefore, the Ordinance violates the Second Amendment.”

That’s not why the ban violates it. [More]

If something needs to be officially designated “popular” by government in order to be “legal,” we may as well start calling each other “Comrade.”

The Brown Bess Loophole

You ought to see the damage unregulated assault weapons from an even earlier time were capable of! And they were all “in common use at the time”!

What can I say but “Associated Press“…?

The Future of Journalism

Loyola newspaper apologizes for calling suspected murderer an ‘illegal immigrant’ [More]

I see they don’t actually have to know anything about the world outside their bubble…

The DSM is going the same way as the Democrat Party, and these hive insects oughta fit right in.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Mimetic Enough

Cherokee County man arrested after driving car resembling law enforcement vehicle, sheriff [More]

Creepy-lookin’ old f_, isn’t he? The leg shackles are a nice touch…

As always, be aware of how commonplace this phenomenon is because one day you may need an “I didn’t believe he was a real cop” defense.

All This Can Be Yours

Newsstand: West Virginia’s Machine Gun Litmus Test for States Claiming Second Amendment Allegiance, Ramaswamy’s Ohio Governor Bid and the 2A, Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor: The Real Deal When It Comes to Guns. These stories by Darwin Nercessian and David Codrea. [More]

I already posted my Shameless Plug.

In re the Casey Putsch story, the digital version has been online since April 3 and the physical mag hit the stands/was mailed to subscribers a few days before the primary.
