Former Gastonia officer accused of selling drugs, using badge to buy guns … In court, Dove was apologetic and even told the judge she didn’t realize the things she did were wrong. [More]
Another Frank Rizzo hire...

Blinding Us with Science
We KNEW This Was Coming: Scientists Say Your BREATHING Is Bad for the Environment (They’re Serious) [More]
Who better to trust with our gun information than people who want us dead?

Thank You, Sir, May I Have Another?
…permit to purchase… mandatory … training … government registry… fingerprinting and a waiver of medically protected information… [More]
Just like the Founders used to require.
Or as an old friend of mine once said:
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.

A Plan Comes Together
The Biden administration is again holding up the licenses for selling more than 20,000 U.S.-made rifles to Israel over concerns about attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, two U.S. officials told Axios. [More]
There were just testing which excuse to use.

Going to the Source
Bonta’s Department of Justice will recognize only three of the eight categories of certified instructor, all three controlled by the State of California: instructors certified under the state Department of Consumer Affairs, the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or a state-accredited school to teach a firearm training course. [More]
Cut back on the instructors you cut back on the permits.
I wonder how many of the “authorized instructors” were first certified by NRA.
So much for sucking up.

Ring in the New!
White House announces new state-based gun violence initiative. [More]
Sounds like the same old cracked bell with wealth transfers, unattainable objectives, and no results to me…
I guess they’ve got to make it seem like they’re actually doing something.

UPDATE
Looks like subversive “foundations” funded by rope-selling capitalists are “guiding” the treason… [More]

We’re the Only Ones If This Van’s Rocking Don’t Come Knocking Enough
A former Ohio vice cop accused of demanding sex from women in exchange for their freedom has pleaded guilty on federal charges related to kidnapping, after being cleared earlier this year of murder and voluntary manslaughter charges in a similar but separate incident. [More]
I was an alternate juror on a pimping and pandering case decades back when I lived in L.A. My takeaways:
I didn’t see any girls I’d let pay ME. The johns were all pathetic. No wonder they had to pay for it. The vice cops were the sleaziest ones in the courtroom.
A South Park clip (extremely NSFW) comes to mind.

Coming Soon, to a North Pole Near You
Near the pharmacy on Untere Königsstraße, five to six youths approached him from the other side of the street. They were around 15 years old and had a migrant background, according to Rainer B. They insulted him as a “son of a bitch” and a “fat bastard” and asked him to take off his Father Christmas costume. The young people had said that they were Muslims and that this was their country. They also pulled on his costume. The costume was torn in the process. [More]
I know what that’s like, having people claim where you live is now theirs.

No Safe Haven
New York’s Highest Court Opens the Way for NY Dems “Redistricting Republicans Out of Existence” [More]
It’s nice to see “conservative” Ohio leading the way before “progressive” New York in something.

Hey, If You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong…
House Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed a vote on two bills relating to FISA Section 702 extension and reform, making it likely that the unconstitutional Section 702 will be renewed without change until April 2024. [More]
Well, that didn’t take long.
So… friend of my enemy, right…?

Where Do I Sign Up to Help?
‘Bet You CAN’T…’
Drone patrols coming to Gravois Park [More]
So some genius figures it’s a good idea to fly them over “Gunshot Park”?
Lemme guess: The people who signed off on this are the same ones who warn against the hazards of “celebratory gunfire”…?

Find the Hidden Clue
We’re the Only Ones Off-Target Enough
Two teenagers are in custody Tuesday on suspicion of car clouting in south St. Louis after police fired shots at the young men. [More]
What, they didn’t hit them? What DID they hit?
And yeah, I had to look it up, too.

A Polar Shift
Calls for NAACP Illinois conference president to resign after racist remarks… On a recent call, the DuPage County NAACP president said he was absolutely stunned when one of his civil rights colleagues called migrants rapists and savages. [More]
Wait a sec… I thought we’d established they can’t be racists.
Only against white people…?

Nightmare at 13 Feet
TSA finds anti-aircraft ammunition in bag, evacuates luggage room of Hawaiian airport… The team found a .50-caliber round of anti-aircraft ammunition inside a thermos. [More]
Somebody dig up something from Pearl Harbor? Does it look like somebody wanted an expended souveneir and wrongly figured the metal thermos would shield it from prying overreactors?
Oh, and for those wondering, that’s HNL’s elevation.

2024 Session Starting Soon
With Christmas around the corner and 2023 soon coming to a close, the 2024 New Mexico Legislative Session will be here before we know it. Since handing out coal could create carbon emissions, the Grinch in the Roundhouse is settling for attacking our rights again. [More]
Once more unto the breach…
The Philadelphia Story
The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) has deployed SHOTPOINT®, Databuoy’s life-saving gunshot localization and detection system, to help reduce gun violence throughout the City of Philadelphia. [More]
So… how many lives has it saved, and how much “gun violence” has it reduced?
Or are we just talking about another boondoggle to reward favored lobbyists with tax plunder and make it look like the city fathers have a grip on things? Any bets on seeing a pronounced and attributable dip in the numbers, or will it work as well as the paid snitch program?
Another thing I can’t tell: Is the person who wrote this a “real reporter” or a PR flack, and what’s the difference, anyway?
And not to stir up trouble or anything, but with all the emphasis Philly puts on DEI, do these people look a little white to you?
Adventures in Baselessness
In the 2020 election, more than 1-in-5 voters who submitted ballots by mail say they did so fraudulently, a survey from Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute reveals. [More]
So is anybody going to, you know, DO anything about it?
Then again, I can see where some would be motivated to tell a pollster that, Republicans to up the number and Democrats just to say “F*** you, Republicans.”

Speaking of a Public Nuisance…
“These may be the first two lawsuits filed by the Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement office, but they will not be the last,” Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin (D) said in a news conference. “We’re putting everyone else in the gun industry on notice.” [More]
So you deserve to get raped because of that short skirt you wore and how dare you direct citizens to where things are legal…?
This Platkin creature is quite the zealous little fascist. It seems personal.
You know how you can tell he’s lying…?
