H.R. 8268: Disarm the IRS Act [More]
Before we get too excited:
Prognosis: 1% chance of being enacted…
Notes from the Resistance
Sorry. That’s extortion. At this point, it has become appropriate to tell them to go **** themselves. And if half a dozen show up to protest, watch that deemed newsworthy.
Looks like a private group. With 2.8K “members,” my bet is there’s some serious AstroTurfing going on. What are they trying to hide?
And they don’t appear to be strong enough supporters to all sign the online petition.
This appears to be the guy auditioning for national exposure.

Mother of 2 fatally shoots alleged intruder, claims self-defense [More]
They say that like there’s some doubt…
That the cops let her go is a good indicator– if there was a problem with her story, separate interrogations of — and story comparisons between — the 12 and 14-year-olds will reveal inconsistencies soon enough.

If this doesn’t convince you that you and I should be disarmed, nothing will.

The Sentinel’s staff, however, are still furious. They say that being called “Nazis” and “fascists” helped set the tone for their relationship with the ranch. [More]
Pointing out the truth is hardly a furious reaction. That reaction is coming entirely from the other side.
I promote The Sangre de Cristo Sentinel all the time, and if the Tenacious Unicornholers want to do their ranching thing and protect their privacy with rifles, I’ll be happy to leave them unmolested (unlike what their Antifa heroes do to those they target). Just be advised if you want to join them, you’ll first need to clear it with Dr. Cornwallis.
The Break Down of The First Known ATF FRT Confiscation [More]
I continue to shake my head at the number of gun owners who don’t grok the basics. And I’m not surprised that they rolled on the next guy.
That said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge ATF Special Agent Chuck Donahoe until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.

Together they created Richmond’s first drive-thru gun buyback program where people drove up with their unloaded guns in their trunks for officials to evaluate. [More]
If people like widows who know nothing about guns want to participate, how do they safely determine they’re unloaded? And as for the contention that “research into whether the efforts led to a reduction in gun violence remains unclear,” how many more decades and thousands of events need to be observed and analyzed before we have a testable hypothesis? And before proponents can honestly claim “success,” huge or otherwise?
On top of everything else, it appears you and I paid for it.

The op-ed advocates doing away entirely with the Constitution. Why? The authors don’t quite put it this way, but the reason is that the Constitution fails to establish a pure democracy by plebiscite, and makes it difficult to use a transient majority to effect radical change. [More]
Then those who would rule us and who control all major means of communication wouldn’t need to just ignore it anymore.
It figures The New York Times would publish such a subversive screed. As for the ivory tower Harvard and Yale apparatchiks, when useful idiots are no longer needed, that which they’re helping bring into being generally finds a suitable place for “new people.”

Talk about a “rightwing conspiracy theory”!
Sorry, Rodney. Not only is the answer “No,” but candidly, I don’t much want to.

Think The FBI Deserves The Benefit Of The Doubt? This Laundry List Of Corruption Should Make You Think Again [More]
Let’s just say I think they deserve full due process after being frog-marched to booking and having their assets frozen.
I heard an interesting factoid the other day, that the FBI considered It’s a Wonderful Life subversive, with elements of communist propaganda techniques, which is pretty ironic seeing as how Jimmy Stewart later starred in the blatantly propagandistic The FBI Story, going after domestic commies. And that guy was a mixed bag– no doubt about it, he put himself on the line in WWII, but then was persuaded to undermine RKBA along with some other names that may surprise those who don’t already know.

FBI Agent Pleads Guilty to Destroying Evidence to Frame Pro-Trump Political Prisoner [More]
If anyone can make me rethink my position on crucifixion, it’s evil ambitious functionaries like this.

Which is why all the “gun pundits” celebrating “diversity” without factoring in voting patterns are fooling themselves and their followers. If owning a gun was all it took, we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.
And speaking of idiots…

Democrats will lose Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Rep. Carolyn Maloney or both after Tuesday’s election [More]
But don’t worry. If I know my New York Democrats, and I do, whoever emerges will be a horrible choice for gun owners.
…Securities and Exchange Commission, chairman Gary Gensler remains undeterred in expanding the agency’s power beyond its constitutional boundaries. [More]
And the government continues to get away with in-your-face illegitimate power grabs with all means of civil redress being cut off. What’s that phrase everybody on the left freaked out over when Sharron Angle mentioned it?
Oh, yeah, “Second Amendment solutions…”
Funny, how Budowsky so admired the guy who said this…

Louisiana Sheriff Loses Tax Lawsuit Targeting Smith Angus Farm [More]
I see the sheriff bills himself as a “Republican”… I guess he stuck a wet finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing, but at heart, we know what he’ll always be.
And he’s done one other thing that may be actionable:

Boxes of paper records fill nearly every corridor of the ATF’s National Tracing Center, where agents are struggling to keep up with surging requests from local police. [More]
Still singing the same old song…
What they want, of course, is a national registry database traceable to legal purchasers that will by design exclude the illegal ones. Who but a deplorable hate-filled racist Nazi white supremacist could be against that?
