Bush-era records released under the Freedom of Information Act raise concerns about the powers presidents might claim during crises, from suspending habeas corpus to implementing an internet kill switch. [More]

Federal agents say four Polk County men were involved in a rash of armed robberies, all while pretending to be law enforcement officers. [Watch]
As I’ve continually noted, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate justification for resistance.

Witnesses said Butler seemed agitated and left but returned to the complex shortly after, armed with an AR-15 style rifle, and started shooting at the crowd.

Is it really that paranoid to suspect manipulation via an agenda that is not benign?

Yellow-flag laws allow law enforcement — and only law enforcement — to petition the courts to temporarily take guns away from those considered to be a threat to others or themselves. [More]

Be it resolved that the members of the National Rifle Association of America, in convention assembled, does declare its profound support for the past, present and future leadership of its executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre…One prominent LaPierre backer, Janet Nyce, denounced Wayne’s critics as “the enemy within,” whom she blamed for taking “our beloved NRA down to her knees.” A former sheriff from Montana, who is also a board member, insisted he was “getting tired of these s*** o* b****** at every one of these meeting coming in and trashing Wayne LaPierre.” [More]
Make your decisions accordingly.
The possession, by private citizens who could be called up for militia service, of “weapons of war” is not only protected by the Second Amendment — settled law — it is required. [More]
And the antis say we’re the ones who never want to mention the first 13 words…
In a way, they’re right– for reasons they’ve never adequately explained, the power players “on our side” don’t seem willing to go much beyond “self-defense” in their legal filings.
That’s a vulnerability that will hurt us.

“What the public should be looking at is the fact that the FBI gave our son the means to make this happen. He has no job, no money, no vehicle, and no driver’s license, due to the fact that he is schizophrenic and we; his parents do everything we can possible to keep him safe and functional…..

The FBI came and picked him up from our home, they gave him a vehicle, gave him a fake bomb, and every means to make this happen none of which he had access to on his own. [More]

We must identify every individual for their credentials for their mental capacity to bear arms. There should be proper qualifications for gun ownership, and proper testing. One should only own a gun if they’re qualified and schooled.” [More]
Don’t you have someone else’s lines to read?
In an interview with The Pillar, Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, elaborated on a tweet he made following the horrific mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and admonished gun-owning Catholics — and all Americans — that there is no “divine right” argument to be made about owning a weapon.

The 80% Coalition is non-partisan and is comprised of advocacy, business, education, faith-based, professional and service organizations committed to pushing back against hate and urging our legislators at the state and federal levels to pass commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. [More]
I see a lot of “faith” organizations claiming tax-exempt status in there…

Instead of targeting guns and gun owners, Trump called for a “top to bottom security overhaul at schools across the country” in a variety of ways; single-point entries, security fences, metal detectors, a school resource officer in every school, and yes, arming teachers who volunteer, are vetted, and trained. [More]
Beautiful.

With Graham, Collins, Toomey, and Cassidy parlaying under a white flag, I guess we’ll see how badly Republican want a “red wave.”

So they came here with the understanding of the role of government they were indoctrinated with, and now want to impose what they fled on the people who took them in.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …
Fabricated image falsely claims Senator Ted Cruz has shared the same message about shootings a dozen times, fact-checkers say [More]
Even if he had, so what? There’s only one truth and it’s not like the grabbers don’t exploit these things with the exact same lies each time.
