We’re the Only Ones Cannibalized Enough
Thousands of guns sent off by North Texas local law enforcement agencies to be destroyed were first stripped of parts that were then sold online by a private company. [More]
I’m waiting for the same folks who invented the terms “ghost guns” and “zombie guns” to seize on “Frankenstein guns.”

They will be a big help for the regular army,” Saro declared. “If there will be new shooting ranges opened, the main reason is just to be ready and practice. It is pretty similar to our Civil Guard that was active before the wars. Then, besides reservist and military, there are hunters.” [More]
Yes, there’s plenty wrong with their “gun control” laws. That doesn’t mean we can’t learn from what they do right.
Late Start
I had to write an article.
Looks like I’ve got a pretty full Inbox this morning afternoon and a new piece to promote. Better get cracking…
Daily Defense Redux
David Codrea says the quiet parts out-loud. [Listen]
Here’s yesterday’s Armed American Radio, in which I once more demonstrate my total unsuitability to coexist in a Democrat world.

So Much for Background Checks
Surveillance video from Colorado demonstrates how a 10-year-old nonverbal autistic kid is treated by a teaching aid in a society succumbing to savagery… After Jones was arrested this month, the Littleton Public Schools released a statement, saying Jones was hired in August after ‘satisfactory reference checks and after passing a thorough background check’.

I’d call her a beast and speculate on public reaction if races were reversed, but I don’t want Democrats to think ill of me.

They’re the ones David Hackworth dubbed “Perfumed Princes,” the ones who through purges and promotions set the stage for rot.
We’ve met some of these Benedict Arnolds before, like the execrable Michael Hayden. He and Peter Chiarelli have another bit of oath-breaking in common.

A Perfect Test Laboratory
Don’t be shy now.. gun grabbers are very brave sitting behind their security estates with armed guards to protect them whilst they spew this weird ideological BS through their laptops.
