Per capita murder rates in major U.S. cities such as Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis are outpacing Ukraine’s recorded civilian death rate from Russia’s invasion. [More]
You mean Bloomberg cities run by Democrats…?

Playing for the Cameras?
“Mark my words here: There will be a moment when President Trump is giving one of his big speeches somewhere and the FBI will storm the stage,” Starnes said. “They will arrest the president on national television and drag him away. That’s how all of this will end up.” [More]
Be funny if someone forgets to order the Secret Service detail to stand down…

Funny Peculiar
“It may be funny to you motherf—er, but it’s not funny to me”: Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke snapped at a man during a town hall on Wednesday who started laughing as O’Rourke discussed the gun used in the deadly Uvalde mass shooting. [More]
He was laughing at the bald-faced disprovable lies, not that Beto’s idiot supporters who cheered him on have the wits to realize that’s what he was doing.
Speaking of which, have I mentioned these idiots lately?

Other Tools Besides Banning…
Repression, Terror, Fear: The Government Wants to Silence the Opposition [More]
Making this all the more believable.
Aided and abetted by social media and the DSM. One fantasy I have is that someday, government collusion with these “private” entities to suppress truthful reporting will be proven in court and First Amendment violators, both government instigators, and their de facto “agents,” will receive the punishments they deserve.

Thank Your Republican Leadership!
A manufacturer of untraceable “ghost guns” has been ordered to pay D.C. $4 million as part of a legal settlement that will also prohibit it from selling any guns to city residents in the future. [More]
Left unsaid is that Ebony Scott is a leftist tool confirmed with the help of Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Roy Blunt, Shelley Capito, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, and Thom Tillis.
And yes, we could come up with damning links on all of them.

A Pound of Cure
Several people have reached out to us and have told us GoFundMe will shut our page down since they are anti 2A. To everyone that donated thus far we have secured those funds and are now moving to a 2A friendly platform so any sharing or donations please go to this link instead at GiveSendGo. Thank you again!

Is this a bad time to bring up an ounce of prevention?

24 Hour Unfitness
The “altercation” began inside the gym, on or near basketball courts, and carried out into the gym’s front parking lot where it “escalated,” police said. At least two people pulled out guns and fired multiple shots, police said, citing surveillance video. Several people fled the scene, police said. [More]

Fargo School Board votes 7-2 to no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance [More]
I guess taking “under God” out wasn’t enough for them.
That said, I have issues with the pledge, too, but not for the same reasons…

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise
The failure of firearms licensing departments to prioritise resources is having a significant impact on both participation of shooting sports and the gun trade in England and Wales. Dozens of firearms departments across the two countries are beset with significant delays and backlogs. [Watch]
Guess who doesn’t have a problem. Go on, guess.

Calling All Fellow ‘Seditious Conspirators’!
Multiple federal LE sources are telling me that a message was blasted to all federal LE agencies to start cataloging social media posts of known conservative influencers so they can be threat assessed. [More]
We need a bit more than that. If you know any sources who would be willing to talk to House Oversight and Senate Judiciary Republicans, lemme know and I’ll see what I can help set up.
Maybe it’s time for a FOIA request or two from some of the prominent ones? It would be revealing to get back a refusal because they don’t talk about ongoing investigations!

Show us the Face We Want to See!
Tell Senator Scott he can no longer play both sides. He either supports our gun rights or he doesn’t. [More]
He’s already told you what side he’s on.
Say you pressure him to cave: Does anyone think they’ll be able to trust the guy again?
We’re the Only Ones Exceeding Expectations Enough
Agents actually fired their guns accidentally more often than they fired them in the field according to an audit by Treasury… [More]
Yeah, but the important thing is they went above and beyond being “willing to use deadly force, if necessary” by being willing to use it when unnecessary!

We’re the Only Ones ‘Do as I Say…’ Enough
A deputy sheriff in Calaveras County was arrested last month for allegedly being an addict in possession of a firearm… Ball has a history of alcohol and opiate abuse, investigators say, adding that he’d recently relapsed. [More]
So they knew he was an out-of-control armed junkie who by law is not allowed to have a gun? And turned him loose on the rest of us?
The sheriff is saying “investigators discovered…” about multiple rehab attempts, but the way this is carefully worded avoids the question of if they were in the dark about his condition from the outset.
Breaking News
Authorities are in a standoff with an armed suspect who tried to enter the FBI’s Cincinnati office [More]
It’s too early to assume anything. We’ll see if he fits any narrative-exploitable profile. If I had to bet I’d say he won’t. And if they do try to tie him in with heightened “anti-FBI rhetoric” by “conservatives,” there’s nothing being said that they don’t own.

Windsor officers sued over traffic stop of Black man protected from some claims, judge rules [More]
Some general rules of thumb that work most of the time and have kept me from being assaulted and kidnapped on more than one occasion: Be the adult on the scene. Don’t argue and resist. By the same token, don’t consent and/or volunteer information. File any resulting complaints when you’re safe.
