The NYPD unveiled emergency rules Friday that will let people carry concealed weapons in the city. [More]
I’m wondering if they left the definition of training purposely vague to invite a challenge with resultant excuses for delays…

No Thanks to the Gungrabbers
An alleged would-be carjacker in Chicago is now in critical condition after being shot by his own victim on the west side of the city. [More]
If it wasn’t the norm, the question of how many times this mutt has been caught and released wouldn’t be my first one. My second question is what’s his survival and continued care going to cost taxpayers?
My next question is who but a tyrant or a useful idiot would rather the victim had been killed rather than armed?
I note my local “news ” channel wants helpless surrender to be the default instead of preparedness, training, and will.
Give them what they want, we are urged, which brings me to my last question.
What if what they want is you?
It’s your life being threatened, not your property.

Loss Leaders
Everytown took a MASSIVE financial hit in 2020, used most of their donations to fund salaries – Everytown’s 501c4 Action Fund for 2020 is now available, and it’s a good one lol. First, they took a 75% hit in revenue… [More]
It’s the “pandemic,” they say.
And here’s the “Support Fund.”
So when do we start seeing some high-profile firings? Or will they keep heads to save face?

Imagine
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla explains Pfizer’s new tech to Davos crowd: “ingestible pills” – a pill with a tiny chip that send a wireless signal to relevant authorities when the pharmaceutical has been digested. “Imagine the compliance,” he says [More]
Now imagine the noncompliance.
Imagine it is armed.
Tangentially-Related UPDATE
YIKES! World Economic Forum Claims ‘Solid, Rational Reasons’ for Microchipping Children [More]
Think of it as real-time inventory management. You never know when Klaus Schwab will want to order one up and see what’s available for immediate delivery.

Confederate statue is bulldozed as mayor livestreams it, video shows. ‘Not in my town’ [More]
Yeah, that’ll fix your problems, mayor.
The Embarrassment-in-Chief
The president isn’t featured in ads. He goes largely unnamed on campaign websites and Twitter accounts. And candidates in key races in battleground states are either not asking him to come — or avoiding him when he does. [More]
The power players, through their media mouthpieces, are signaling loud and clear that he had better step aside for 2024. If “friendly” persuasion doesn’t work, they’ll drop some not-so-subtle extortion reminders about legal vulnerabilities, starting with Hunter.

Series Finale
ATF’s New “Frame or Receiver” Rule – What You Should Know — Part 3 — [More]
This is the last installment. It has links if you missed the first two.
Rough Around the Edgewater
With only one dissenting vote, the city of Edgewater has officially banned the open carry of firearms, with at least one city council member attempting to tie the carrying of guns to white supremacy… At a June 7 meeting, Councilmember Hannah Gay Keao — who doubles as a Mom’s Demand Action gun control activist — suggested language be added to the ordinance stipulating that gun violence can be mostly attributed to white supremacy, a trait at least one other council member then connected to right-of-center political ideology. [More]
So that explains Chicago, DC, Baltimore, St. Louis…
And don’t worry: She doesn’t want to allow concealed carry, either.
These people just open their mouths and spew and it doesn’t matter what erupts. They have a ready audience of cultists ready to lick it up and gulp it down.
Naturally, she also demands power.

Pre-Midterms Posturing…
We’re the Only Ones Arm-Twisting Enough
30 Days or Else
Sorry. That’s extortion. At this point, it has become appropriate to tell them to go **** themselves. And if half a dozen show up to protest, watch that deemed newsworthy.
Looks like a private group. With 2.8K “members,” my bet is there’s some serious AstroTurfing going on. What are they trying to hide?
And they don’t appear to be strong enough supporters to all sign the online petition.
This appears to be the guy auditioning for national exposure.

Slay-at-Home Mom?
Mother of 2 fatally shoots alleged intruder, claims self-defense [More]
They say that like there’s some doubt…
That the cops let her go is a good indicator– if there was a problem with her story, separate interrogations of — and story comparisons between — the 12 and 14-year-olds will reveal inconsistencies soon enough.

If this doesn’t convince you that you and I should be disarmed, nothing will.
And while we’re at it, let’s hear it for the NFL’s “commonsense gun safety” influence!

Home on Derange
The Sentinel’s staff, however, are still furious. They say that being called “Nazis” and “fascists” helped set the tone for their relationship with the ranch. [More]
Pointing out the truth is hardly a furious reaction. That reaction is coming entirely from the other side.
I promote The Sangre de Cristo Sentinel all the time, and if the Tenacious Unicornholers want to do their ranching thing and protect their privacy with rifles, I’ll be happy to leave them unmolested (unlike what their Antifa heroes do to those they target). Just be advised if you want to join them, you’ll first need to clear it with Dr. Cornwallis.
Coming Soon, To a Neighborhood Near You
The Break Down of The First Known ATF FRT Confiscation [More]
I continue to shake my head at the number of gun owners who don’t grok the basics. And I’m not surprised that they rolled on the next guy.
That said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge ATF Special Agent Chuck Donahoe until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.

A Huge Success!
Together they created Richmond’s first drive-thru gun buyback program where people drove up with their unloaded guns in their trunks for officials to evaluate. [More]
If people like widows who know nothing about guns want to participate, how do they safely determine they’re unloaded? And as for the contention that “research into whether the efforts led to a reduction in gun violence remains unclear,” how many more decades and thousands of events need to be observed and analyzed before we have a testable hypothesis? And before proponents can honestly claim “success,” huge or otherwise?
On top of everything else, it appears you and I paid for it.

None Dare Call It Treason
The op-ed advocates doing away entirely with the Constitution. Why? The authors don’t quite put it this way, but the reason is that the Constitution fails to establish a pure democracy by plebiscite, and makes it difficult to use a transient majority to effect radical change. [More]
Then those who would rule us and who control all major means of communication wouldn’t need to just ignore it anymore.
It figures The New York Times would publish such a subversive screed. As for the ivory tower Harvard and Yale apparatchiks, when useful idiots are no longer needed, that which they’re helping bring into being generally finds a suitable place for “new people.”
