Supreme Court Says Illegal Immigrants Can Be Detained Indefinitely [More]
Wake me when they can be definitely deported and barred from reentry.

Too Little Too Late
Bipartisan Negotiation On Gun Control Bill Stalled [More]
Let’s hope “Are you nuts?” is making an impact.
Yeah, but you know what, guys? Even if the angry feedback is scaring you into backing off, the trust has already been broken.
Way to take the fire out of bellies.
UPDATE
‘I’m through talking’: top Republican negotiator walks out of Senate gun talks – John Cornyn says he is heading back to Texas, dimming hope of vote on bipartisan gun safety bill before July recess [More]
Yep. Somebody’s been hearing from p!$$ed off constituents and now wants to appear forceful and principled…

A Good First Step
We’re the Only Ones Withdrawing Enough
Nearly six hundred thousand dollars in taxes, fees, and fines collected by the Caldwell Parish Sheriff’s Office was never deposited into a government bank account, a new state audit reports. And auditors say they found evidence that the employee in charge of overseeing the collection and accounting of those public funds actually spent years stealing the money. [More]
Looks like somebody has decided taking in more money right now is bad optics…

We’re the Only Ones Closing Enough
Imagine killing someone and telling their loved ones you hope your decision not to be held accountable brings them closure & healing. [More]
Only someone who is highly trained could even hope to try to pull that off.

Bang for the Buck
No violence interrupters hired in Richmond; critics question ‘disrespectful’ salary [More]
Based on the impact they’ve had where it’s been tried, they’re already paying them more than they’re worth.
Besides, I thought Richmond was a done deal…

Strictly by the Numbers
Lone gunmen outliers in nation’s mass shootings [More]
Yeah, but Democrats would p!$$ off too many constituents if they went after who you’d need to to make a dent.
Best to focus on disarming the real threat — to totalitarian rule.
Repeating the French Mistake
A conservative Christian quietly battles against right-wing hysteria [More]
Right, if you want to know how Republicans need to govern, listen to this Democrat propagandist.

CNN AR-15 Deception Recalls Previous Attempts to Spook the Uninformed
Here’s the conclusion they don’t want viewers to realize: If expended ammunition wasn’t capable of producing lethal destructive force on human bodies, it would be useless as a defensive deterrent. What should be the object of focus is not citizen disarmament, but armed citizens being able to minimize “success” by promptly dispatching child-slaughtering monsters to hell. [More]
More manipulation and lies from “the most busted name in news”…
Common Sense
Elbert Lee Guillory talks “gun violence.” [Watch]
I wanted to embed the video here, but got an “Unavailable — may contain content owned by someone else” notice. That’s curious because it’s from his Facebook page.
I could quibble with some of the details but find him mostly right on and refreshing. His message needs to be heard by people of color. It’s a shame that so many of them would be unreceptive to a face from outside the community, but that’s the socially engineered reality.

We’re the Only Ones Controlling Enough
I’m a longtime NRA member and I say we need gun control [More]
Funny, they tell us “Dave Ziegler, a retired law enforcement officer,” but you have to look elsewhere to find out that means with ATF, and that he’s also a longtime statist apparatchik.
It looks like you have to register with the site to read more, but seeing as how we’re dealing with an “Only One” who wants to disarm his countrymen, I can guess what he’s going to say.
And it’s further illustration that if owning guns was all it took to be “one of us,” we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.
You Can Judge Some Books By Their Covers
They’re just as informative and gorgeously photographed on the inside.
I’ve written about both before:
- ‘FG42’ Profiles Revolutionary, Near-Forgotten Classic in Words and Pictures
- Book Explores How War for Independence Revolutionized Firearms Technology
I bring them up again here because author Jeff John, my longtime former editor at GUNS Magazine (we actually go back to GUNS & AMMO), released a revised and updated second edition of FG42, and he sent me hard copies of both, which I’d previously only seen in electronic form.
I’ve also told readers about The Matchless Enfield No. 4 (T) Sniper, blogged about Colours of the Queen’s Rangers, and on more than one occasion steered people over to Jeff’s website, Art in Arms Press, featuring “historical and contemporary firearm books & photography,” and more.
Consider carving out some time to spend over there, to appreciate artistry, craftsmanship, and history, and to get copies of Jeff’s books for yourself or a deserving friend or relative.
Gowdy’s Wrong Questions about the 2nd Amendment Preclude Getting Right Answers
Gowdy should know all that, but again, we’re dealing with someone who presents the illusion of being “conservative.” [More]
“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about the answers.”
‘Negotiated Settlement’ Sounds So Much Better Than ‘Surrender’
His defense of the NRA is silly. [More]
It’s worse than that, and as usual, the readers aren’t buying it.

Red Flags
[L]et’s talk Red Flag Laws and ex parte orders and due process and how anyone who tells you don’t worry, the process won’t be abused and there are robust due process protections is, at best, wildly naïve and, more likely, is lying to your face. [More]
That’s so true you’d think even a death wish Republican would get it.
Thank goodness Politifact is there to give them gaslighting points.
