Bait and Switch

We’re all about patterns here and when I see the ATF put out three different exposes against local, local and then national, one in Tulsa, one in DC, and now Steve Dettelbach on a national network, NBC around how ineffectual the NFA is because of giggle switches or Glock switches, there’s a hidden motive, I’m telling you, something’s up. [Watch]

Good catch.

Thing is, the NFA has always been ineffective.

‘Other Purposes’

To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the distribution of 3D printer plans for the printing of firearms, and for other purposes. [More]

It’s those “other purposes” I’m interested in.

Boy, that’s a lot of traitors.

Eh… “1% chance of being enacted…”

Besides, the genie’s out of the bottle. And we will not disarm.

We’re the Only Ones Uncharitable Enough

Overland Park officers who resigned were paid over $600,000 while on paid administrative leave… [More]

…for helping themselves to proceeds intended for “the families of fallen and sick officers…”

Well, they always said there’s no honor among thieves…

We’re the Only Ones Klepto Enough

Florida police officer quits after arrest for repeated Walmart thefts… [More]

I wonder what would have happened if an ordinary citizen had tried to detain him.

What a stupid thing to destroy your career over. You gotta wonder what made him think he could get away with it, as in how long has he been doing it?

Deliberate Indifference

Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denies motion for en banc hearing of challenge against Illinois’ gun and magazine ban. “No judge in regular active service has requested a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc, and all members of the original panel have voted to deny panel rehearing,” the docket said Monday. “The petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc is therefore DENIED.” [More]

Will this be a catalyst for SCOTUS?

Why, Just Look at All the Non-Causative Correlation!

“Let me just state unequivocally, the public health order has been in effect three months and it’s working,” the governor said at Monday’s press conference. [More]

So how many of those arrests were ordinary concealed carriers caught up in the order, as opposed to known troublemakers? And how many of the arrested will be back on the street for Christmas?

We’re the Only Ones Rocket Surgeons Enough

A rocket launcher was recovered by Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputies during a gun buyback event in San Jose… [More]

Did they get it from Charlie Beck?

Or Seattle PD?

Hey, if you see a con that works, use it. There’s a reason street hustlers still take in the marks with Three-Card Monte.

And who better to pull off a scam than the Santa Clara County Sheriff & Co…?

Do as I Say, Not as I Do

U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was a key player behind ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s snap impeachment of President Donald Trump… Now Raskin is insisting that Joe Biden be considered exempt from even being investigated for impeachment… [More]

That second-generation communist subversive again

I don’t suppose this could be a “Please don’t throw me in the briar patch” move? Maneuver the Republicans into achieving a Pyrrhic victory and doing the heavy lifting for the young radicals in the Democrat party to advance their power …?

If You Need More Than 10 Rounds You Shouldn’t Be Defending Yourself

“In the right hands, a weapon can save lives. The war demonstrated this — whenever weapons were present, disasters were smaller,” he said in late October. “A gun can save a family, and an assault rifle can save a building. A weapon can protect you, your family, your street and your country.” [More]

But only in Israel and not here, if you believe WaPo.

And why wouldn’t we?
