Going Out with a Bang

Darwin… paging Mr. Darwin…

And:

The family … said any portrayal of McGrew as a “drunken fool” couldn’t be further from the truth. [More]

Who said he was drunk?

What a stupid way to die. What an inexcusably thoughtless thing to do to people who depend on and love you.

Costner Box Office Flop Should Be an Example for Hollywood Gun Hypocrites

Costner has proven to be a real life Fudd extraordinaire, winning the T. Boone Pickens Lifetime Sportsman Award – while calling for “stricter gun laws” [More]

Hey, he’s the one who said he doesn’t care what moviegoers think about his politics, which in this case appears to be what a lot of them think about his movies.

Avoiding Guns in Presidential Debates Won’t Last Forever

Influencers need to be able to prepare Trump to debate on the right to arms and to coach him on what the correct responses to questions should be. [More]

No matter who the Democrat candidate turns out to be, Trump needs to learn to talk 2A, and it’s up to “Gun Owners for Trump” to demand his ear.

Slow Going Ahead

I’m taking this week off. We’re not only once again hosting our regular Independence Day gathering of family and friends, and there are many pursuits of happiness planned, as well as no small amount of other demands on my time.

WarOnGuns posts will be limited to article announcements unless something I can’t ignore comes up. Please hold off on correspondence and news tips until I return the week of the 10th.

Killing the Messenger

A Diversionary Tactic

Texas Official Lays Blame for Brutal Rape and Murder of 12-Year-Old Jocelyn Nungaray on Trump [More]

At times you gotta wonder if they know they’re maliciously gaslighting or if they really are insane.

Gotta do something to distract from her proven political corruption.

But wait! There’s more!

Lina Hidalgo’s top three staffers were indicted in April 2022 after prosecutors expanded the investigation into an $11 million ‘vaccine outreach contract’ awarded to one of the judge’s political cronies.

Q&A

Mother demands answers after son is among victims in series of shootings in 24 hours in Lancaster [More]

I have questions, too, starting with “Mom, where was your husband in that clip?”

Or are we not allowed to extrapolate from generalities? Because those who say we need more “gun control” sure do.

Do you have a Second Amendment right to open carry? Well, we’re going to have to talk about this ’cause it’s a little complicated if you want to know the truth. [Watch]

The complication only comes from tolerating swindling tyrants.

How Dare You Notice!

Biden Admin Has the Nerve to Accuse Trump of Exploiting Migrant Crime Wave [More]

When your default position on never letting a crisis go to waste is to blood dance, project, and lie, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

I’m more interested in why PJ Media is calling invaders “migrants.”

We’re the Only Ones Catching and Releasing Enough

Illegal Alien From Turkey Accused of Raping 15-Year-Old Girl… The border patrol arrested Akkan in the San Diego sector on November 5, 2023… Authorities released Akkan a few days later “on his own recognizance due to a lack of bed space and ordered to appear in a Philadelphia court on Feb. 19, 2025.” [More]

The question is not only “Why do we need such a government?” but “Why shouldn’t we ‘alter or abolish‘ it?”
