When Seconds Count

Farrant gave evidence that the shooting began at 1:40 p.m. at the Al Noor mosque … The gunman was caught by police at around 2 p.m. [More]

That’s an excellent response time. And utterly useless at stopping the carnage.

What’s the one thing that could have?

So naturally, the communists in charge made the proles even more helpless.

Ruthless J6 Prosecutions Confirm the Ones Afraid of Oath Keepers are Oath Breakers

One way to keep a balking population in line is through the time-tested method of tyrants – cowing it into submission by making a highly publicized example of prominent members, which the J6 “uprising” at the Capitol more than provided. And no one was more high-profile in Oath Keepers than founder Stewart Rhodes, sentenced to 18 years in prison for “seditious conspiracy” and “obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings.” [More]

Part Three wraps up my series on why those in power are bent on utterly destroying the one concept that could render them powerless: Enforcers learning they have the power and the duty to say “No.”

How Now Brown Cow?

Study finds surprising number of Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows … a study in the 1990s found that nearly 20% of people did not know hamburgers are made from beef. [More]

We call such people “Democrats.” And their votes cancel yours.

This reminds me of an opinion shared with me by a friend and fellow manager from my former life who, as two asides, got his DCM M1 Garand with me and also happened to be black.

“They don’t know how to be poor,” he told me of the generations that subsisted on handouts from the state. He was recalling how his generation grew up working hard and having to make ends meet, including buying some food items in bulk and preparing meals that could feed a family for what it costs for one person to squander on Big Gulps and McDonald’s.

Point/Counterpoint

As predicted by the Four Boxes Diner, in a 2-1 decision the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit— via a opinion by judges Wood and Easterbrook— have upheld Illinois’s “assault weapon” ban. However there is a strong dissent here. This decision is no shock to Four Boxes Diner viewers because as I explained before, in my view, Judge Wood and Judge Easterbrook are unserious jurists on 2A issues and this was a given outcome (unfortunate and frustrating, yes, but entirely predictable).

Remind you of anybody…? The oinker not only didn’t get canned after that but he got promoted (pg. 3)

And I never did find out what happened to the double-tappers

Yes, That’s a ‘No’

U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing or receiving a firearm.

I can’t wait for him to flesh out his enforcement plan.

What we need to know (for now):

Communist, eh...?

Are you sleeping, bourgeoisie?

Cert Granted

Cargill v. Garland [More]

Issue:

Whether a bump stock device is a “machinegun” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b) because it is designed and intended for use in converting a rifle into a machinegun, i.e., into a weapon that fires “automatically more than one shot … by a single function of the trigger.”

Guess what that will determine.

You’re in the Army Now

Without warning, hundreds of noncommissioned officers were ordered via email to report to the recruiting school at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in less than a week, with hundreds more set to start at the school in December — a sudden unexpected move by the Army as the service scrambles to boost its recruiting force by 800 by the end of the year.

But…but…but Lloyd said

Everybody ready to draft Gen Zers? And if women are exempt again, will identifying as a trans woman be a “Get out of jail free” card?

Hey, I don’t suppose they’ll be able to spare any of the new guys down at the border…?

Shelter in place order lifted for MSAD 75 schools after threat; suspect low-hanging fruit moron in custody.

There, I fixed it for you.

And it looks to me like somebody decided this was a great opportunity not to let a “crisis” go to waste.

And conveniently:

Green’s Facebook account can no longer be found.
