Armed Citizen Stopping School Shooter Exposes Prohibitionist Hypocrisy

All the anti-gun groups and Democrats who oppose that (along with the “enforce existing gun laws” crowd) should demand the heroic citizen be prosecuted. [More]

Go ahead Democrats, demand his arrest for bringing a gun into a school. Do it before the midterms.

Hoist with His Own Petard

A controversial Oregon initiative seeking to ban hunting and fishing advances, drawing criticism from Democratic State Senator Anthony Broadman who highlights economic harm and conservation concerns. The proposal, part of a new animal cruelty law, has surpassed 120,000 signatures. [More]

And, of course, if you don’t need an AR-15 to hunt, you don’t need an AR-15 at all!

So quick to throw other gun owners under the bus… No fun when it’s your ox getting gored, is it, Fudd?

I Found My Thrill on Blueberry Hill

Life-threatening Listeria risk prompts massive frozen blueberry recall across multiple states [More]

What could be the cause?

Listeria monocytogenes is a dangerous bacteria, causing roughly 172 deaths annually in the US, frequently linked to contamination from environmental sources, animal feces, and potentially, human fecal contamination due to poor hygiene in agricultural or food-processing environments. It is notoriously difficult to eliminate once established, thriving in moist, nutrient-rich environments like soil and improperly handled farm produce.

Oregon, eh…?

Oregon’s agriculture industry heavily relies on thousands of immigrant workers, including many who are undocumented, to function… The USDA estimates that half of all hired crop farm workers in the U.S. are undocumented. Immigrants in Oregon hold about $14 billion in spending power and contribute more than $5 billion in taxes, highlighting their economic significance to the state.

Good thing none of this has anything to do with that “single issue“…

Cheap labor Republicans are every bit the enemy pathway to citizenship Democrats are. And they’re more insidious.

The Devil to Pay

In Washington, Democrats in Olympia are looking at adding $100 to the nonrefundable fee for a concealed pistol license, jacking the cost up from $36 to $136… In neighboring Oregon, there’s a move on via House Bill 4145 which would raise the cost of a permit-to-purchase from the $65 maximum to $150. [More]

What are these carry fees everyone is so upset about?

Don’t tell Judge Jeanine!

Speaking of Spectrum Disorder

The family says the district explained that a pair of staff members’ spouses had the same sort of khaki colored patriotic lunch bag, and those spouses stored guns in them. They therefore worried the autistic student might be doing the same. [More]

These are who Democrats have teaching children? Those people would have had autistic meltdowns over some of my old lunchboxes.

The Cognitive Dissonance…It Burns…

Point:

“You know due process is a – it sounds very scholarly but it’s basically what prevents the government from sweeping you, or me, off the street,” Merkley said when asked his thoughts on Democrats’ defense of Abrego Garcia. “[Due process] is extraordinarily important for freedom.”

Counterpoint:

I am incredibly grateful for the courage my colleagues in the House of Representatives showed… today, they passed a bill creating a nationwide red flag law.

Don’t look for anyone dumb enough to vote for this traitor to see the contradiction.

You Can’t Have One Without the Other

To my fellow Oregonskis, you are outnumbered and your only hope, just like the blacks of the 20th Century lies in federal intervention. And federal intervention it must be. We await a newly invigorated Civil Rights Division of a purged US Department of Justice to get busy. [More]

Which will never happen unless “gun rights groups” stop kissing administration @$$ and start leading their millions of member in demanding it.

I also received this comment via X message:

Howdy. I appreciate your efforts and work! Thought I’d send this privately rather than comment under the article. This is an incorrect take. The Oregon appeals court’s ruling was based on the state constitution as the lower court judge (Raschio) made it clear his decision (pro gun rights) was based on the Oregon constitution (which was an important distinction based on the Federal court decision discussed next). It was the Federal court judge (Trump appointee Immergut) who heard the 2A arguments on measure 114 almost 20+ months ago and attempted to narrow 2A rights with her pro measure 114 100+ page opinion. Raschio’s ruling merely gave us Oregon gun owners a 20 month reprieve (during which time the US Supreme Court should have addressed the issue via Snope and others, but has failed to do so). My $0.02 anyway… Take care & I hope this didn’t come across rude or arrogant, as it was not my intention.

While I don’t recall going into those details to make it an “incorrect take,” it’s not arrogant or rude: I appreciate the background insights.

Oregon Court Decision Sides Against Second Amendment and with Tyranny

If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored. [More]

Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?
