Working Class Hero*

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.”

Who’s Minding the Store?

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”?

Et Tu, Truth Social?

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?

Gun Theft Highlights Cognitive Dissonance of Democrat L.A. Mayoral Candidate

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…

FWIW

Clean-Up on Aisle Four

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.

Youth Must Be Served

To promote the education, protection and exertion of students’ inalienable right to keep and bear Arms. [More]

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.

Well, Captain Parker, if you refuse to cooperate we’re going to pay you a visit when you’re alone and we’re in force. Either that or you can sign this surrender decree, and Heaven help you if we find you’re lying…

The killing of young Adriana, an innocent bystander, became a prominent part of a steadily swelling epidemic of gun violence in Sweden, which now has some of the highest rates of gun homicides in Europe. [More]

Oh, look. It’s not because of Sven and Olaf.

She’s Got Hers

In celebration of New York’s new gun control law taking effect on September 1, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul claimed: “This whole concept that a good guy with a gun will stop the bad guys with a gun, it doesn’t hold up. And the data bears this out, so that theory is over.” [More]

I know someone who would not only disagree with that from personal experience, but in private he’d call her a name that rhymes with…

Funny. Her security team hasn’t disbanded.

Hey, why not cut to the chase and replace the story hour drag queens with who they’ve been preparing young kids for?

This is today’s Democrat party.

And they want your guns.

Need I even ask?
