Personal responsibility and morality play far greater roles in promoting social peace than any government regulator recording names or bureaucratic billy club smashing heads. In American communities where citizens work, play, and pray together, peace and harmony exist without the need for some authoritarian police State breathing down everyone’s neck. [More]
It’s true. It’s not a police presence that keeps good people from victimizing others. So naturally, the authoritarian police state needs to mandate policies that ensure a critical mass of the citizenry is “wholly inadequate.”
And call those of us who aren’t haters and racists and Nazis and…

Hochul is saying she will comply with the Bruen rulings by making it more difficult to acquire a concealed handgun carry license. In other words, “I, Kathy Hochul, will comply with the Bruen rulings by not complying with them.” Huh! [More]
This will continue until rights enforcement slaps cuffs on her and all her co-conspirators.
Besides which, the DSM has dumbed enough constituents in “our democracy” down enough to be on her side.

Under the new law, entire categories of crime, such as aggravated batteries, robberies, burglaries, hate crimes, aggravated DUIs, vehicular homicide, drug induced homicides, all drug offenses, including delivery of fentanyl and trafficking cases, are not eligible for detention no matter the severity of the crime or the defendant’s risk to a specific person or the community, unless the People prove by clear and convincing evidence the person has a “high likelihood of willful flight to avoid prosecution.” Additionally, in cases involving non-probationable forcible felonies, such as murder and armed robbery, judges may only detain a defendant under the new law if the prosecution proves by clear and convincing evidence the defendant “poses a real and present threat to the safety of a specific, identifiable person or persons.” [More]
Establishing Justice, insuring domestic Tranquility, providing for the common defence, promoting the general Welfare, and securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, again, I see…
Y’know, any government that fails to do the above has given up any claim of legitimacy for the consent of the governed, and whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.
That’s probably why ruling Democrats want our guns.

The owner (who has a valid concealed carry license) pulled out a handgun and shot the kid in the leg … When they arrived, police found a gun on the kid, too. [More]
So Biden’s advice worked?
If the kid didn’t present it during the crime, the Kia owner is in trouble.

Canadian Conservatives elect working-class champion Pierre Poilievre to topple Trudeau [More]
And here’s the significant part, because we all know “conservative” is a relative term that means different things at different times and in different places:

It ain’t “shall not be infringed,” but it’s a hell of a “good first step.”

Mastriano will make Pennsylvania a “2nd Amendment Sanctuary,” where our rights will be protected against misguided federal bureaucrats that want to disarm law-abiding citizens. Mastriano will work with the legislature to make PA a safe, constitutional carry state [More]
Vs.
Josh Shapiro has committed to governing with gun sense as a priority. [More]
So what are Pennsylvania voters setting to do?
Is now the time for “the fastest growing pro-gun organization in Pennsylvania’s” Facebook page to have not had an update post for years? And their last blog post was in 2010? Especially considering their last mention in the news feed was in January, and before that 2018…
My guess is there are a lot more gun owners in Pennsylvania than the 15K that “follow” GOA-PA on Facebook.
Where’s the organization and where’s the support for organizations? Or should we just get used to saying “Governor Shapiro” and “Senator Fetterman”?
After:

Does anybody see anything particularly “sensitive” about a painting that hangs in the National Army Museum and illustrates the core reason behind “our beautiful Second Amendment”?
Yo, Donald Trump: Your platform was supposed to be different. (As was your presidency until you started up with bump stocks and “take the guns first/due process later.”)
Will sucking up for the Google Play app mean it’s not?

That “cash, electronics and other valuables” were “left behind” suggests that the object of the break-in was to get the guns, making fair the question of who knew Bass had them and how it is that they knew. [More]
It sounds like there’s a lot more to this story than has been revealed, but even if there’s not, the in-your-face hypocrisy alone ought to disqualify this self-serving hypocrite from office. Which means L.A. Democrats will be lining up to vote for her in droves…

In the face of rising theft and violence — and pressure from terrified employees — grocery stores and other retailers are arming themselves with armed security guards. [More]
I don’t know the stores in question, but from a quick check, it looks like one of them, Hy-Vee, is not knuckling under to Shannon Watts and her band of indignant internet cud-chewers on customer carry.

Is it just me or does this feel like your grandma gave you a book?
The idea is needed, I don’t mean to be negative, and Lord knows I’m the last one to consider myself competent in graphic design or young adult outreach, but I’m trying to imagine how what I’m seeing here will excite and inspire anyone under 40. Or over, for that matter.
I hope some young people with expert communication and technical execution skills help them across the street with this.
