Speaking of Disturbingly Persistent Ideas…

“Elegant and important essay by @RepRaskin debunking the disturbingly persistent idea that the 2nd Am gives citizens the right to take up arms against the government.” [More]

For being an “LATimes Legal Affairs Columnist. Former US Attorney, DOJ official. Teach con law at UCSD& UCLA” you’d think this f***ing idiot would know the Second Amendment doesn’t “give” any rights.

As for Marxist weasel Raskin, the rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from the corrupt tree.

It’s funny that the Democratic Underground uses a web archive link to avoid the NYT paywall. It’s dangerous that no one there understands the basics of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

Hunting Council Masks Hostility to Founding Intent with Gun Banner’s Appointment

“Busse was listed as ‘unaffiliated,’ but that is not true… He is an advisor for the Giffords gun control group and has openly advocated the ban on the most popular selling centerfire rifle in America…” [More]

Yeah, put the fox in charge of the henhouse. What could go wrong?

Self-Reporting

Texas couple shocked to receive small armory of M16s… The couple reported the find to the authorities. [More]

It’s easy to ask “Why?” Me, I’d be wondering if this was a setup and what I could possibly do with them that wouldn’t invite one.

It’s like, imagine you found a suitcase with a million dollars worth of cocaine inside — Aside from the fact that I’d find selling it immoral, I not only don’t know anybody who has a connection into that world, I don’t want the people who do have one even knowing about me.

That’s the “problem” with us “law-abiding”  and peaceable types. We don’t know firsthand how the dark side works. And despite smears to the contrary, we are heavily conditioned against hurting others, which is why so many DGUs end without a shot fired.  It takes a lot to get us going, to the point where by the time we do react with appropriate force, it may already be game over.

Those who aren’t similarly self-restrained know and count on that. And that’s why training, repetition, and anticipation are so important.

We Have Top Men Working On It Right Now

I wanted to reach out and let you know that experts from the Western States Center, one of the nation’s premier organizations working to counter political extremism and violence, has experts tracking the upcoming January 6th hearing in Congress this week, and the start of the seditious conspiracy trial against five members of the Oath Keepers including Stuart Rhodes. [More]

Can they spell his name right?

Top…men.

It’s Only a Movie…It’s Only a Movie…

We never get tired of watching movies, but we often watch scenes play out that aren’t realistic. Their approach is believable, but the way they go about solving problems defies logic, engineering, and sometimes physics. Take deadbolt locks as an example. When a character shoots a deadbolt lock, it disintegrates and the door busts wide open. It looks good on screen, but what happens when you shoot a deadbolt in real life? [More]

And here I was thinking nobody knows guns like Hollywood.

Jeez, the next thing you’re going to be telling me is experienced operators don’t rack the slide to load a round into the chamber for effect right before springing into action…

At least tell me Angelina Jolie can really curve bullet trajectories…?

Anyway, the featured article with the accompanying video was interesting and fun. If they ever do a follow-up, I’d like to see them address why they shot from a bench at a distance instead of, like TV cops always do, from a couple of inches away.

We’re the Only Ones Excuse-Making Enough

“The number of guys who say, ‘I don’t agree with what’s going on here, but I’ve got three years to retire,’ it’s heartbreaking,” he told podcast host Dan Bongino. [More]

Gee, they should have tried that defense at Nuremberg.

They get no sympathy from me.

I’ve quit jobs before when I couldn’t stomach what was going on. I’ve refused to do things that could have gotten me fired when they conflicted with my principles. All with a family to support and no guaranteed lifeline visible.

And I’ve known men who have put their careers on the line to expose institutional corruption.

AMA Assault Science Weapon of Choice in Mass Shillings

Mass public shootings in the US account for a small fraction of all firearm-related homicides, but have an outsized role in stoking the public’s concern with firearm violence. [More]

Yeah, thanks to elites-funded hysterical “agenda science” amplified by an equally hysterical (and reliably ignorant) DSM.

Doctrinaire disarmament propagandists Philp J. Cook and John Donahue (Piled Higher and Deepers each) sure use a lot of words to spook the herd on a threat that takes fewer lives than fists and feet. And the gunquacks (funny, we were just talking about them) at the equally agenda-driven AMA are delighted for another chance to posture and preen as leaders.

Those are my broad strokes on the matter. I’m hoping our friends Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D. and the good docs at DRGO decide to give us something more scholarly to push back with…

Hat tip to John Richardson, who sent me this information, and has put together quite a nice write-up that factors in Bruen. This is one of the things I like about those in “our movement” who do it right– the object is to help each other fight the best fight possible.

Panel to Stalin: Hold Our Beers

Health Panel Recommends Anxiety Screening For All Adults Under 65 [More]

Sometimes, the old ideas are the best ones!

I don’t have time to check political sympathies on all of them, but it’s instructive to note the Chair and the two Vice Chairs were all appointed after Biden took office…

The gunquacks for due process-free prior restraints and confiscations are gonna have a field day with this one!

The Make People Who Buy Guns Legally Pay for Our Democrat Constituents Who Don’t Act

Pascrell and Davis Reintroduce Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act [More]

That’s this hate-filled domestic enemy who is trying to criminalize his political opponents…

This is a noisemaking publicity move to turn out the useful idiot blue vote in advance of the midterms. As such, expect it to die the same death as its arm-waving predecessor.

For now.  The violence monopolists are working toward the day when they no longer need half measures.

A Gun-Free Time for the Whole Family!

Witnesses told investigators that two groups of teenagers were involved in an altercation in front of the Musik Express ride and shots were fired … The park’s website says “weaponry of any kind is strictly prohibited at the park.” [More]

What do they think the young worthies were counting on?

I don’t suppose with all these extra safety measures management says they take if they’d care to offer a guarantee to those they require to be unarmed:
