But no one’s talking about taking your guns.

“You need to know about guns,” Dad had said. So, we took a thick board out back and leaned it against a tree. Dad pulled out this shiny pistol. “Here,” he said. “It’s not loaded.” I reached for the gun. With no warning, the thing went off with a huge bang and blasted a large hole in the board. I may have yelled an unpleasant word. Dad was just standing there, all calm and fatherly. “You said the gun wasn’t loaded!” I screamed. “Everyone says the gun’s not loaded,” Dad replied. [More]
What a dangerous, @$$hole thing to do to a kid.

I’m thinking menthol cigarettes here…

Media Tailspin Continues As Public Trust In News Outlets Crumbles [More]
Now do one that shows how voting behaviors change because of it.
I wouldn’t be breaking out the champagne just yet. The programmed electorate is going to act on its biases, and just because they don’t trust a source means they’re motivated or able to divine the truth..

M-16 Era Ends: Army’s 101st Airborne Division Receives Next-Gen Assault Rifles [More]
You and I can’t have those either, because they’re not “in common use.”
As long as we allow that to be defined by what’s popular for “self-defense” and sport as opposed to arms that soldiers bear, we’re giving the prohibitionists an out to screw us.

DC police dealt thousands of guns; ATF demands answers after concerning number found at crime scenes … So many guns recovered at crime scenes, in such a brief period, that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives placed D.C. police into a program designed to give extra scrutiny to dealers with higher levels of so-called crime guns. [More]
So when are the grabbers gonna sue them?

Democrat Ruben Gallego Would Prohibit Arizonans From Buying AR-15s … . “Carrying and using his M16 to defend himself and his fellow Marines in Iraq made it clear to Ruben that weapons of war have no place in civilian life”… [More]
Ah, the old familar lie of omission compounded with false authority!
Just because you were a Marine doesn’t mean you can’t be a domestic enemy.
Just ask Lee Harvey Oswald.

Groups representing minorities, like the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement and the nonprofit National Action Network, the latter which was founded by civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton, argue that banning menthol cigarettes while not restricting non-menthol cigarettes “puts a microscope on minority communities.” They say it could increase the probability of negative interactions between police and minorities. [More]
Off one who resists arrest and watch more than the contraband go up in smoke. And best of all, we can blame it on Democrats.
Y’know, you could draw a parallel between the ineffectual laws against cigarettes and other goods…
An attorney who worked in Donald Trump’s White House predicted that Judge Aileen Cannon’s “partiality” will lead to her removal from the former president’s documents case. [More]
Why? Did Judge Arthur Engoran’s “partiality” lead to his removal?

Milking it for all it’s worth…
I felt like doing this earlier, but there’s no “i” in “quit.”
Yeah, I’m pretty muddle-headed right now. I picked up a cold or flu and am tired and feeling ‘blah,’ and I got my posts here caught up with all the emails received so far, so I’m gonna go lie down.
Hopefully I’ll feel alert and ambitious enough tomorrow to crank out another article.

Does the DOJ have the power to create new classes of “prohibited persons” outside of what is statutorily defined? [More]
First they said they had no pages. Now they say they have 350. So what’s on those pages, and will any establish they are authorized to redefine”prohibited person” disqualifiers?

Well, I’ve got mine. The hell with the rest o’ youse.
Sorry — just practicing in case I ever become one of the elites. I keep telling the wife all she’s gotta do is pick six lousy numbers and she can’t even do that right.
Even though it’s temporary, I’ve never been a quasi-“Only One” before.
However, the recent investigation by the Second Amendment Foundation revealed that 97Percent supports bans on “assault weapons,” standard-capacity magazines, and bump stocks and has called for permits to carry, purchase, and even possess firearms. It supports mandatory background checks and mandatory storage laws and claims the Second Amendment is “overprotected.” [More]
Welcome to the party, pals.
Should non-violent felons have the ability to get their Second Amendmet rights back? Is this an issue that finally needs to be decided once and for all by the Supreme Court? Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, dicusses a case, which has not garnered a lot of attention, but which may be the perfect case for SCOTUS to decide this issue once and for all. There are thousands of Americans who need this issue resolved so that they too may exercise their inalienable right of self=preservation. [More]
You know my answer.

Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendment proposals Tuesday that prohibit private money from being used to conduct elections and mandate only legally designated government officials may administer elections. This makes Wisconsin the 28th state to ban “Zuckbucks”-style electioneering and the second to do so by constitutional amendment. [More]
So, if they’re capable of being rational about elections, what the hell is this about?
Or am I making an assumption that ignores the same First Amendment abridgements that made McCain-Feingold so objectionable?
Feel free to edumacate me on similarities and differences.
