Notes from the Resistance
Former Dodgers star Steve Garvey jumps into the California Senate race as a Republican [More]
He’s got plenty of “I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you” happy-talk platitudes, but where does he stand on anything? And have California Republicans learned anything from the last time they backed celebrity over principle?
At least we know Garvey’s got the screw constituents and duck the fallout part down…
This guy’s got more shady baggage than Sam Brinton…

Culver City buys controversial gun store [More]
The only controversy I remember is when they let us set a table up outside to invite customers to our Westside Firearms Association (later NRA Members Council over my opposition) meetings and an occasional car of “progressives” would drive by and scream obscenities at us.

I’d argue with “permits” and “background checks,” but he makes some good points.
What I didn’t hear was a refusal to obey unlawful orders.

“We just want you guys to know my brother has schizophrenia, he’s bipolar,” said the suspect’s sister, Jessica Salazar. “He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. A lot of people that have family members out there are going to understand. He would feel persecuted, voices talking to him. He tried committing suicide once or twice.” [More]
In other words, he couldn’t be trusted without a custodian.
So much for “A” grades on “gun laws.”

That’s funny. All it took for me and everyone I value was responsible parents who set moral examples.
I guess throwing more money at a cultural outcome of their creation is what the power-hungry and their useful idiots would demand.
But as long as we’re going with military metaphors, I don’t suppose any of these wealth redistribution grabtards would be interested in talking “militia”…?

The California Legislative Women’s Caucus called on the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to uphold domestic abuse restraining orders as it reviews a case that could permit domestic abusers the right to carry guns. [More]
If they’re proven, under full due process, to be too dangerous to be trusted with a gun, what are they doing out? And if they haven’t been, characterizing them all as “domestic abusers” in the very first sentence just shows there’s no lie or manipulation these people won’t use to disarm their countrymen, and makes fair the question “What the real motive of those behind this?”
