How Do They Say It and Not Get Sued?

An independent panel of experts on computer systems and election security issues has concluded a lengthy investigation into the voting systems currently in place in the state of Georgia and sent recommendations to the State Election Board and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. [More]

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Besides, look what we all stand to gain!

The Last Roundup

FBI Raids Up To 50 Trump Allies In One Day: Bannon, Dhillon [More]

I saw something about this flash across the screen on Fox News as we left my Mom’s place Friday night, but on getting home saw nothing about it.

For some reason, most “real reporters” don’t find this newsworthy.

I wonder how long it will be until talk about the Second Amendment being a deterrent to tyranny is regarded as an actionable seditious conspiracy by federal law enforcement.

A Happy Outcome

17-year-old shoots and kills two masked men breaking into his home [More]

Everyone who demands guns be kept locked up and separate from ammunition, and forbidden to anyone under 21, would rather the attackers had killed everyone inside, especially since that would have given them more fuel to pour on the “gun violence” fire to demand new bans.

Reports implying the home invasion was targeted don’t change the fact that even if it turns out in grand jury findings that the teenager had previous dealings with the perps, what he did in this instance was justified.

Metastasizing

A little over a month ago, merchant category codes for guns were still a little-discussed backdoor ploy.

Now they’re pounding on the front door with ISO announcing a global standard. (I know a bit about the process from a past life, back when everybody thought it was just about quality standards.)

Just a month and a half since my initial Firearms News warning, look at how this is dominating the narrative. Bottom line, if you want to do business, bureaucrats in Geneva say you have to turn snitch.

Funny thing about all those headlines spreading the same talking points: None of them are documenting the communist front groups behind the demand for this.

We’re the Only Ones Disinterested Enough

Despite the apparent brush with death and video evidence of the encounter, it quickly became clear that the driver’s nightmare would not end after attempting to file a police report… “I called them two, three times. I figured they would want this information because there’s somebody out there and he’s going to hurt somebody.” [More]

See, the oversight was just for thuggery, not for work ethic…

Landing a Largemouth Bass

Rep. Karen Bass says home was burglarized; firearms stolen [More]

Yes, of course, she’s an in-your-face grabber.  I submitted an AmmoLand draft elaborating on that over the weekend. There’s one ahead of it in the queue, so give ’em a few days.

Denver Thermostat Control Lockout Shows ‘Smart’ Device Exploits Can Endanger Users

The environmental cases are like gun-grabbers. They’re never satisfied with the incremental concessions they gain today but use those as secured objectives from which to launch their next incursions in a relentless march toward their end goals. [More]

Letting someone else control your thermostat in a heat wave makes as much sense as letting someone else control your gun during a life and death threat.

To Be or Not to Be

Gun suicides rose 11% in past decade, linked to cities with lax gun policies: New research [More]

Because everyone knows correlation equals causation and there’s no more reliable research than the kind bankrolled by political extremists with totalitarian agendas! Especially when given glowing reviews by DSM cheerleaders!

Why, every time I think about how the town where I live hasn’t closed the “boyfriend loophole,” I just want to stick my head in the oven– until I remember it’s electric.

We’re the Only Ones Executing Enough

As mourners gathered outside a northern West Virginia funeral home on Aug. 24, two plainclothes officers with a fugitive warrant swooped in from separate vehicles, called Owens’ name and shot him dead, spattering his 18-year-old son’s shirt with blood as horrified loved ones looked. [More]

It’s a testament to authoritarian conditioning how many comment posters with no additional information are desperately speculating about excuses that would justify this.

Feeling the Cultural Vibrancy

Sources told KGO-TV that the victim and the suspect were in an ongoing relationship. According to authorities, the young woman filed a restraining order in April against the suspect, Jose Solano Landaeta. Sources informed the news outlet that there was a history of domestic violence.v [More]

What else was there a history of?

Would it be out of line to wonder if San Carlos being a self-declared “sanctuary city” played any part? I ask because no “real news” report apparently will.
