Home Defense-Free Zone

Homeowners in Irving initially came up with the idea of shooting and killing the pigs, but then realized they should not be firing a gun at the animals in a suburban neighborhood. “My first thought was, like, well, I can go shoot them,” Mendez said. “But I’m like, yeah, I’m in a neighborhood. I can’t just go out there and start blasting.” [More]

No, not just “blasting,” but then again, what qualified hunter would characterize it that way? Would he say the same thing if it was a feral human threatening him, and settle for “slingshots and clapping two pieces of wood”?

As long as Cooper’s rules are adhered to, what’s the problem? Who died and made this guy the arbiter of appropriate responses to be selected for national amplification?

Messin’ with Texas

Two illegal aliens told Texas National Guard soldiers that the reported “International Migrants Day” crossing rumors were being pushed all throughout Mexico via television and social media. [Watch]

Please announce immediate repercussions to be implemented after Inauguration Day, President-elect Trump.

None dare call it treason…? It oughta be.

Flag Burner

Cain’s bill establishes consequences for falsely accusing another person of being a threat. If the bill passes, state and local entities would be barred from enacting red flag laws unless they are “expressly authorized by Texas law.” HB 162 would establish that federal regulations are unenforceable if they do not protect the accused’s due process rights. Further, persons “who serve or attempt to serve a red flag order within Texas unless the order was issued under Texas law” would be subject to imprisonment. [More]

False reports should be self-incriminating.

So should enforcement and prosecution attempts that deny due process.

Survey SAYS…

Last week, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn lost his bid to be the chamber’s majority leader. The next day, he announced his intention to seek reelection to the Senate in 2026. We asked readers if they would support him if the Texas GOP primary election were held today. Here is a sampling of the comments we received from our readers after they voted in the survey. [More]

By all accounts he should be finished. If he’s not, it’s on Texas Republican voters.

Messin’ with Texas

Through the case, Plaintiffs seek to end enforcement of Texas laws that restrict firearm carry in three locations: (1) in any business where alcohol comprises 51% or more of sales (even if the individual is not consuming alcohol), (2) racetracks, and (3) sporting events. [More]

Despite its reputation, Texas has been late coming to the party on a lot of things.

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.

All Red

Texas Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred is featuring his wife in campaign ads to cast himself as tough on the border and immigration. Just four years ago, she sued to secure the release of dozens of illegal immigrants held at federal facilities in California, including one who was charged with assaulting and threatening to kill his girlfriend.

A Diversionary Tactic

Texas Official Lays Blame for Brutal Rape and Murder of 12-Year-Old Jocelyn Nungaray on Trump [More]

At times you gotta wonder if they know they’re maliciously gaslighting or if they really are insane.

Gotta do something to distract from her proven political corruption.

But wait! There’s more!

Lina Hidalgo’s top three staffers were indicted in April 2022 after prosecutors expanded the investigation into an $11 million ‘vaccine outreach contract’ awarded to one of the judge’s political cronies. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last month joined the investigation into Lina Hidalgo’s $11 million no-bid contract.

Well… there’s a surprise:

Insufficient Gun Owner Involvement in Unsuccessful Herrera Race Will Not Go Unnoticed

If this doesn’t change, correction, if we don’t change that, gun owners will be telling two supposedly opposite groups they can get away with more betrayals and infringements. [More]

Establishment Republicans and Prohibitionist Democrats just got a pretty good snapshot of gun owner willingness to walk the talk.

Opportunity Knocks

This is your opportunity to punch the gun controlling RINOs directly in the nose because the race that Brandon Herrera is in versusTony Gonzalez and all the RINO class in Washington, this has become the most important United States House race across the board… [Watch]

It’s a chance. Whether it’s a fighting chance depends on gun owners.

This is the most important video I’ve seen Braden Langley make.

As a tangential aside, it’s curious, how combative some get at the suggestion there ought to be political consequences…

That’s Debatable

Contorting, lol. And I never said, or even suggested, any of that. The 3% just objectively proves you were wrong about A+ meaning you always have to be right–it doesn’t imply anything about subjective weights of infringements. [More]

I’m moving the “debate” here because it’s bad form to hijack another man’s post with an argument, because it doesn’t limit me to 280 characters, and because I basically use “advocacy media” to promote my work, so as long as I’m doing it, why limit eyeballs?

The thread with the back-and-forths starts here. My response to this latest:

Not “wrong,” just not expecting you to argue a formal academic scale instead of one of principle. My assumption was you were saying helping Gonzales return to power only counted 3% against a grade of 100. I just didn’t realize what you were talking about because it struck me as so off-topic.

My mistake was accepting your distracting from the real issue with non sequiturs about 3% and age and four terms. It’s simple: Abbot is enabling a Quisling who sold us out to Biden’s tyranny and will predictably do so again. And you’re excusing him and doing so helps the establishment GOP exclude new and principled contenders, with no disincentives. So from my point of view, the one who “always has to be right” is the one evading that reality to instead try and score an irrelevant “gotcha.”

To me, real 2A fidelity means 100%, kind of like the reverse of you can’t be a little bit pregnant. Maybe it means something different to you.

And the “Bipartisan bill” did more than create new opportunities for ATF to destroy lives and kill your fellow gun owners on private sales. They’re extending the net for all it’s worth.

UPDATE

LOL, no. You are welcome to write what you want wherever you want, but I’m under no obligation to obey your unilateral dictates. Have fun with that, though.

With Republicans Like Vichycon Tony…

If it quacks like a Democrat…

And see, here’s the thing. This is another Avatar situation. It’s not just Herrera he’s calling a neo-Nazi.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

“Here, the district court concluded that ‘the federal government has both a dominant interest and a pervasive regulatory framework’ to control immigration into the United States, ‘preclud[ing] state regulation in the area,’” wrote Chief Judge Priscilla Richman. [More]

Nominated by President George W. Bush…
