Libertarians - The War on Guns

Going Whole Hogg

David Hogg defines an “assault weapon” as

-any semi-automatic rifle that takes a detachable mag

-is accurate

That’s what he wants to ban. pic.twitter.com/WfKHQjcLJ0

So we can have TEC-9s…?

Is anybody ever going to ask him to list every “gun control” law he demands at which point he won’t ask for any more?

And as long as we’re in a debating mood, I wonder if “libertarian” Spike Cohen would like to take my challenge to see if he is ultimately preferable to Hogg…

Biden is Right to Grant Temporary Refuge to Palestinian Migrants Already in US, but Should go Further [More]

Rigorous!

I continue to be unimpressed with Reason’s calls for national suicide.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Libertarians for Democrat Rule

My New USA Today Article on How Biden Can Ease Border Problems by More Fully Implementing His Own Plans to Make Legal Immigration Easier [More]

Why should Dems compromise when they can have it both ways?

I don’t suppose Ilya — or anyone over at Reason — would like to take my challenge…?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Meanwhile, Over at the Libertarian Suicide Cult…

The Moral and Strategic Case for Opening Doors to Gaza Refugees [More]

Rigorous!

Maybe one of these effete eggheads would like to take the challenge…

Out to Change the World

Will the Midterms Change Anything? [More]

It’ll slow down some of the erosions. It won’t advance anything major.

That is why converting a critical mass of people to libertarianism is crucial.

If they listen to the LP on immigration it’ll be major, alright.

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…

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Libertarian Party of California Demands California Attorney General Held Accountable for Gun Owner’s Data Breach [More]

Good luck with that in an irreversibly Democrat state, turned that way over the last 30 years by the very thing you guys advocate:

3.4 Free Trade and Migration

We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.

Well, we know what that ensures.

Care to take the challenge?

Et tu, Cato?

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.
