Bringing a Gun to a Gunfight

I’m not a security guard, so if I feel compelled to draw, I’m not chasing and I’m not taking any chances. (Not that I could, as we’ve already publicly established that I don’t own any guns and never have. Nasty things, always going around killing people…)

It will be interesting to see when they catch the guy if he’ll claim self-defense. Breaking a credit union window hardly seems like legal cause for a private actor to escalate things to lethal force.

PayPal has backed away from fining its own customers up to $2,500 for promoting whatever it determines is “misinformation” … PayPal has reportedly repudiated its planned AUP revision and characterized the snafu as an error. [More]

More like a balloon prematurely floated…

I was looking forward to the lawsuits…

And to more excitable people getting their money’s worth out of these scoundrels in other ways…

Playing Both Sides

Politically, gun ownership in the United States has been seen as a Republican or conservative priority. And while Evans stays out of political debates and chooses not to reveal how she votes, she does tout herself as a supporter of gun rights. She prefers to keep her focus on instruction and reminding women of their right to boldly exercise the Second Amendment. [More]

So is she a short-term parasite, a long-term idiot, or just plain gutless?

My Kind of Razzmatazz

Gun violence is dropping in Chicago as police credit new tactics, community investment [More]

In other words, there’s a temporary statistical drop and they haven’t got a clue as to why, but are ready to come up with excuses to claim credit.

When it goes back up — and it will– do you think they’ll admit those things don’t work, or just go back to blaming guns?

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-town.

While It’s Still Easy

Ballots are arriving. You may be disgusted, you may be frustrated, but you must vote. All indications are that Ballot Measure 114 is very close. If this passes we will face a long time and a lot of money to defeat it in court. [More]

And it has the potential to require a lot more than that, so it’s easier to fight this way.

Lawsuit in 3…2…1…

Make no mistake about it, Adams was being vague on purpose to try to put this death on Abbott. [More]

Even if she was someone he bussed in, she did it in his facility, and if the can gets kicked down the road, look to whose policies encouraged her to come here illegally in the first place.

Igeocracy

Within a month, hundreds of people in Hawaii could be carrying concealed guns. That’s based on applications so far at each of Hawaii’s four county police departments and each chief’s timeline for approving them. [Watch]

That it isn’t hundreds of thousands is a pretty good indicator on why the place is still an Igeocracy.

And that’s “could be carrying concealed guns [LEGALLY]…”

Too bad vindication won’t include attorney fees…

14-year-old already arrested 18 times suspected in NYC scooter shootings [More]

But we can’t tell you this public menace’s name because…?

Let him out again. Seal his record. And when some “Only One” finally puts the feral aberration down, let the “mostly peaceful protests” begin!

We’re the Only Ones Kept in Suspense Enough

Uvalde School District Suspends Entire Police Force [More]

Figures a school district that carries its share of fail would do that.

Remember when some idiot grade school teacher who didn’t have a clue on how to encourage order would punish the whole class?

Then again, that’s also what “Only Ones” do to those in lockup to compel group compliance, leaving unstated the implied threat of having vengeful inmates mete out punishment to any who cause disturbances.

Point of Order

Indeed, the government’s seditious conspiracy charges against Stewart Rhodes, the founder of Oath Keepers, and several of his associates for their alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots puts the entire concept of anti-government political expression on trial. [More]

As I keep pointing out:

No person who advocates, or has been or is a member, or associated with, any organization, formal or informal, that advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States or the violation of the Constitution thereof, shall be entitled to be a member or associate member.

There’s a huge difference between being “anti-government” and “anti-regime.”

Focus on the ‘Victim’

“The victim indicated she was working in her office when a man came into her office, grabbed her, dragged her into a basement, and raped her,” Stanford’s Department of Public Safety said in a statement. “The victim does not want to provide a statement to law enforcement about the crime at this time.” [More]

Here’s a surprise!

Stanford University prohibits the possession of any of the following weapons or dangerous items on the Stanford campus: firearm, dirk, dagger, ice pick, knife having a blade longer than 2 1/2 inches (except for lawful use in food preparation or consumption), folding knife with a blade that locks into place, razor with an unguarded blade, taser, stun gun, instrument that expels a metallic projectile (such as a BB or a pellet), spot marker gun (commonly known as a “paintball gun”), compressed air (airsoft) gun, or any other weapons prohibited by California Penal Code Sections 626.10 and 626.9.

Then again, aside from the absurd and wholly prejudicial “Believe Women” weapon that the left employs to try and derail Supreme Court nominees, and with campus hoaxes being all the fashion for decades now,  how do we know this even happened?

I’m with Popeye

Between going out of town over the weekend for an NRA Second Amendment legal seminar in Pittsburgh (where I finally got to meet Stephen Stamboulieh in person), having to pick my wife up this afternoon at the airport, and my wireless mouse suddenly deciding to ignore driver updates and make me troubleshoot for an hour, I am so far behind on all incoming correspondence that I haven’t even gotten to Monday’s inputs yet. I even had to turn down Mark Walters to come on Armed American Radio’s Daily Defense today.

Everything will have to wait until tomorrow because after dinner I have to go help my brother move some heavy furniture.

I hope no one thinks I’m ignoring them. Please hold off on more tips and queries, and let me get caught up? Besides, who the hell else do you know who goes from Popeye to Scarlett in a single post?

Spoiler Alert

Law enforcement arrived at Zeldin’s home to obtain security footage of the incident from their home cameras, he said. He added that his daughters were “shaken” by the incident and that crime has run rampant in the state of New York. [More]

Unlike Hochul, he doesn’t blame the guns.

Now he’s within 3 percentage points of her, which just weeks ago seemed impossible.

And guess who is polling at 3% and what his position is on “vibrant immigration” with “two Ellis Islands on the Southern border…”?

I don’t suppose he’d care to take a little challenge
