Ken Paxton - The War on Guns

Now He Tells Us

According to the attorney general, the Biden-Harris administration is required by federal law to assist states in verifying the citizenship status of individuals suspected of being ineligible to vote—and their inaction constitutes a violation of that law. [More]

They’ll get right on it– after they “win” the election and take over nominating judges.

It’s been an ongoing problem for years and Ken’s just getting around to it two weeks before Election Day? If I didn’t kow better, I’d say he files these things for publicity without any intention of effecting real change.

Texas Supreme Court Exploits Paxton Omissions on State Fair Gun Ban Complaint

But it also raises the question of how badly Paxton wanted the win and why he didn’t anticipate considerations cited by the court.[More]

With issues not raised, it’s fair to wonder how much of this has been for show and if the result was expected.

Our State Fair is a Great State Fair!

State Fair of Texas upholds gun ban despite lawsuit from Attorney General Ken Paxton… “The State Fair of Texas will continue to prioritize providing a safe and secure environment for our millions of fairgoers, as well as our staff, vendors, and volunteers,” said a spokesperson. [More]

Because “there’s no safer rides than carnival rides“!

And no safer locales than “gun-free zones”!

Just be careful and remember what they did to the last group of citizens who objected.

Wearing a Target

Texas AG Ken Paxton sues Pfizer for vaccine efficacy misrepresentation, ‘conspiring to censor the vaccine’s critics’ [More]

I’d like to see the short list for plans being evaluated to destroy him, and know where the final approval will come from.

I’ve never talked about this before but for some reason it seems tangentially relevant: Back in an earlier life when I was the plant manager for a pharmaceutical company, I got a commendation from Pfizer for a successful national product launch, along with a not-so-subtle dig at corporate for almost derailing things. Just to show how coroporate politics work, that earned me some resentment among one of the higher-ups and put a target on my back.

Further Adventures in Baselessness

Paxton said it didn’t make sense for the state’s Court of Criminal Appeals to dismiss over 900 cases of voter fraud and deny him the right to prosecute criminal matters. [More]

Actually, it makes perfect sense.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
