That’s the problem with speaking in absolutes.
We’re the Only Ones Silencing Enough
As you’ll see, the most shocking revelation from the interview comes via CBS’s reporter, who relays Gomez’s claim that some unknown officer threatened her with charges of obstruction of justice if she continued speaking out about the cops’ passivity. That would mean jail time for her, as she’s currently on probation for a prior offense. [More]
In the interests of consistency, if priors can terminate recognition of your Second Amendment rights, why should the First be any different?

He also said the suspect has a prior criminal record. Authorities said he had previously been arrested twice, most recently for battery of a police officer and resisting arrest sometime last year. [More]
And who’s fault is it we can’t rely on that as a credible indicator?

The Predator Sanctuary
“…they’re not sure if that person was hit but they did drop their semiautomatic handgun with an extended magazine…” [Watch]
The “real reporter” made sure he got the important part in. The not-so-important stuff, like who the public dangers were, they left unmentioned.
Surveillance and a police presence no longer deter. And they’re ginning up demand that “something must be done,” which translates into more “laws” against you, since talking real solutions puts those who do on the fast track for cancellation.

The BBC changed the testimony of a rape victim after a debate over the pronouns of her transgender attacker, The Times has learnt. The woman referred to her alleged rapist as “him” but insiders said that her words were changed to avoid “misgendering” the abuser in an article on the corporation’s website. [More]

A Question of Principal
Following an investigation, the guns were determined to belong to the school’s principal, Geyler Castro, officials said. It was not immediately clear why the administrator brought the weapons to the school. [More]

For the Children. Really This Time.
The Perfect Set-Up
So, we have two guys who started their career into the gun control lobbying “lobby”, that work tirelessly to create a whole new class of criminals (gun owners) if we don’t follow the laws they help get enacted, and they previously worked hard to get ACTUAL criminals breaks and treat them as victims themselves.

The trick is getting anyone with reach to notice and care. Instead, when citizen investigators get too close, they’re attacked, “discredited,” and threatened with prosecution.

As war drags on, Ukrainians start to ask: could we have prepared better? Some are looking back at weeks before invasion and asking if more could have been done [More]
And they seem bound and determined to keep f-ing up. Funny how only the Russians and no Western media (or gun groups, that had initially celebrated the arming of citizens) are interested in following up on this.
And no, I didn’t “fall for Russian propaganda.” Ukraine media has admitted it.
The Clear Choice
“On behalf of our five million members, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) endorses Chris Jacobs’ candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives,” said NRA-PVF Chairman Jason Ouimet. “Chris is the clear choice in this race when it comes to defending our Second Amendment freedoms in NY-27.” [More]

USDA Using Tax Dollars to Pressure Employees on Citizen Disarmament
Might such overt pressure from the very top be construed as creating a hostile working environment for employees who hold different political views? Might expressing those views be reasonably considered career and advancement-limiting, and might not expressing any political views on the taxpayers’ dime, by either side, be considered inappropriate and unethical, especially when coming from management that controls employee reviews? [More]
It’s the moral equivalent of requiring a “bullet fee” from the family of the condemned, and those imposing it get off on that.
