Never Say Never
The level of GOP opposition indicates the bill is unlikely to advance in the evenly split Senate, where it would require the support of at least 10 Republicans to defeat a guaranteed filibuster. It’s also not clear if the measure has the support of all 50 Senate Democrats. [More]
Forgive me for wondering what kind of new incident would be enough to make it happen.

UNCLE!
I see the emails, social media messages and news tips are backed up from Friday night. After doing my Firearms News article promo, I’m just getting re-started here now because I spent the morning writing an AmmoLand piece on the “Republicans” who voted for the “assault weapon” ban I expect will be out before too long.
Oh, and first I had to deal with the aftermath of yesterday’s large family gathering we hosted. Where’d that crater in the backyard come from, and why are there bullet holes in the basement?
Bottom line– I’ll get to what I can. But I sure wouldn’t mind a slowdown on inputs.
Thank you to those of you who take the time out of your busy lives to reach out and guide me to interesting and important stories I might otherwise miss. I appreciate your understanding.
Proposed Banking Merchant Category Codes Latest Backdoor Ploy to ID Gun Owners
The software would know “prohibited person” status? How? Are banks now going to tap into NICS and perform after-the-fact “background checks”? How is such data sharing with private parties authorized by law? [More]
Rope-selling phony “capitalists,” that is, embedded Marxists and economic fascists, are banking on disarmament.
Gun Owners Shouldn’t Overlook Importance of State Attorneys General
The bottom line is their support has been critically important, if not widely recognized. And their opposition has been critically destructive. [More]

My Kind of Precedent
Yesterday, a judge in California threw out charges for carrying a handgun without a license, saying that “the defendant cannot be punished for exercising his right to public carry” while the state’s unconstitutional may-issue law was in effect. [More]
Hey, they say what starts in California spreads out to the rest of the country…

Inside the secret Manchin-Schumer deal: Dems shocked, GOP feels betrayed [More]
What kind of dumb@$$ Republican would feel betrayed by what any rational observer would expect? And do they really think Big Tech is going to support anyone but Democrats with their newfound welfare largesse?

The wife of actor Alec Baldwin asked for his enemies to stop attacking him [More]
I don’t suppose it occurs to her that he wouldn’t have enemies if he hadn’t attacked them first…?

We’re the Only Ones Premium Enough
The Minneapolis Police Department’s “buyback” program allows organizations, sports teams or neighborhoods to buy extra overtime police patrols. But the program has been criticized as inequitable and further stretching the department’s resources at a time when some less wealthy neighborhoods say police are totally unresponsive. [More]
So will the 911 dispatcher tell callers their plan doesn’t cover that because the extra bodies are servicing rich white Democrats?
Or just let them be surprised…?

Twenty-eight female prisoners at an Indiana jail claim in two federal lawsuits that they were subjected to a “night of terror” after they were attacked and sexually assaulted by male inmates who had allegedly bought a key to the women’s wing from one of the jailers for $1,000. [More]

Knife to a Gun Fight
“At that point, the person who appears to be being robbed takes out a knife, stabs the person with the gun. That individual is now deceased.” [More]
You can have all the gear and training in the world, but without the will to do what it takes you’ve got nothing.

A whirlwind few days in Washington have upended perceptions of Trump’s political and legal jeopardy related to his attempted coup after he lost the 2020 election. [More]
Has he been charged? Has he been tried? Has he been convicted?
Yet CNN just concluded for millions dumb enough to turn to it for news that Trump attempted a coup.
Yet the guy caught dead to rights on camera threatening to stab a campaigning Republican is an “alleged attacker.”

2022 Congressional Baseball Game: Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez flips off Republican lawmakers [More]
I guess the Democrats couldn’t send a wannabe assassin this time. You know, someone who exemplifies the type of unhinged mind it takes to vote for anti-gun Democrats like Sanchez…
That she wasn’t immediately ejected from the game, as a young child would be in T-ball, tells us much about behavior standards for Democrat “adults.”
I don’t know what’s funnier– them losing 10-0 or Sanchez needing a pinch waddler.
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
The new party, called Forward and whose creation was first reported by Reuters, will initially be co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. They hope the party will become a viable alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties that dominate U.S. politics, founding members told Reuters. [More]
Spend that money! I see the greater hit on Democrats afraid of the Bolshevik wing, and I’d say Yang and Whitman are not exactly opposites attracting.
Sounds like they all deserve each other, and on the plus side, once they join, the media will no longer be able to characterize Vichycon talking heads as “conservative.”
