Illegal Alien Deported 7 Times Arrested for Ohio Murder [More]
Would it be out of line to at least hope his victim was also a fellow criminal?
This is what this motherf***ing extortionist is threatening to keep inflicting on us until we meet his demands. He ought to be treated like the terrorist he is.
Everyone realizes he wouldn’t be president if that didn’t serve cartel interests, right?

Federal report finds 68,000 guns were illegally trafficked through unlicensed dealers over 5 years [More]

It’s manipulation. Langley Outdoors Academy funnels things down for us.

Under Senate Bill 2845 (Senate Draft 2, House Draft 1), people would be prohibited from selling ammunition to anyone under 21 and those under 21 would be prohibited from owning, possessing or controlling ammunition except as specifically allowed by law. [More]

DIVERSITY TRAINING “FORCES WORKERS TO CONCEAL BELIEFS” FOR FEAR OF LOSING JOB [More]
What a way to choose to live the one life endowed by our Creator, as a rabbit, terrified that if you speak the truths you know in your heart you will be vilified, humiliated, and cast out.
Maybe there’s a reason why so many young people in need of validation are irreparably alienated and turn to destructive and vengeful pursuits.

Wild Animal Released from Cage Attacks Humans
Et Tu, NSSF?
One of those illegally-trafficked firearms was used to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. That was exposed when ATF Agent Peter Forcelli blew the whistle that cases he was making to charge and lock up criminals for trafficking guns were being ignored by the U.S. Attorney’s office. [More]
No, that’s not how it got exposed.
Forcelli was definitely instrumental and heroic in exposing things, but ignoring the timeline of bringing information to the media, to the Congress, and to the public is wrong. If I didn’t know better, I’d think NSSF had a reason for ignoring that.
Can’t Have THAT…
Think of It as Good Old-Fashioned Bench Electioneering
US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to put on hold a New York City licensing rule requiring prospective gun owners to show good moral character to own a firearm. In rejecting a stay request on Thursday relating to a district court order that’s being appealed, Sotomayor turned away yet another bid to prohibit government officials from enforcing their laws while being challenged in court. [More]
Sounds to me like she’s campaigning to keep her seat.

Sometimes shining bright lights and banging pots and pans work.
Intolerable, that it took communicated outrage. And that the “concession” still isn’t good enough. And that “permits” are a thing.

And the Reason I Should Care?
Republican Nella Domenici hauls in $1.25M since launching Senate bid in New Mexico in January [More]
I note her campaign website highlights no issues and donations go through WinRed.
So, Nella, why should a no-compromise gun owner get a fire in the belly over your candidacy? What laws will you work to support? What laws will you work to repeal? Where do you see “common ground” with prohibitionists?
What makes donating to you a more prudent ultimate investment than buying more ammo? What makes walking precincts and manning phone banks a more prudent investment of time than honing skills at the range?
Because — and pay attention to this — being just another establishment Vichycon won’t cut it. New Mexico has been dominated by tyrants. There are no “friends across the aisle.”
Who are you to lead the charge against them?

Arenas has said he kept multiple guns in his locker at the Verizon Center. He claims he wanted to keep them away from his children and didn’t know it was illegal. [More]

SEO Irregular
While looking for a link to my Points question, I noticed something again today I’ve been meaning to mention for a while: Type in “Sipsey Street Irregulars” on Google and the first link that comes up goes to an SPLC post about it closing down after Mike’s death.
That means either algorithm ranking results have been manipulated to make one post outweigh Mike’s life work, or the majority of Mike’s readers didn’t regularly help him promote his work by sharing links. Noting how many of his thousands of readers didn’t step up when asked to, I’d be hard pressed to pick a reason.
Noting the importance of that work — and the way it’s now being misapplied exactly as he warned against — either reason, censorship from without or apathy from within, is one hell of a demotivator.
