Good Only One with a Gun

The Texas Legislature has approved and sent to Gov. Greg Abbott a bill that would require school districts to have an armed officer on every campus… [More]

Like they had at Columbine and Parkland?

I see many are excited about this so you’ll have to forgive me if amidst the gushing I still raise concerns about infringements and “Only Ones.”

Messin’ with Texas

Following the “pledge card” practice means that a relatively small number of often nominal Republicans can elect a speaker by allying with the Democrat minority, which understandably would prefer to have a Speaker who is not a GOP stalwart . . . especially if that Speaker also gives Democrat members control of certain committees as a sweetener. [More]

So basically, between the speaker and the lieutenant governor, we’re talking a drunk and a poltroon…

Texas-Related UPDATE

Governor Abbott Signs Key Pro-Second Amendment Bills into Law… House Bill 2837 … prohibits financial institutions and credit card companies from requiring licensed dealers to use a firearms-specific merchant category code (MCC) to categorize retail gun purchases [and] House Bill 3137 … expands the state firearms preemption law… [More]

Must Be Getting Beat Up Pretty Bad

[More]

I like to think this played some small part in that…

Although this no doubt had more…

UPDATE

Witness who called for gun control in aftermath of Texas mall shooting lied about his actions: police – Police say Steven Spainhouer contributed to spreading ‘misinformation’ about shooting [More]

So will Shawn and Poppy correct the record or just move on to the next set of lies and hope no one dumb and biased enough to turn to them for “news” will either notice or care if they do?

Focus on What Works

Megyn Kelly talks about the mass shooting at a Texas mall over the weekend, why the gun control zealots are stopping us from getting anything done to stop these murders, what efforts could actually stop these prevalent shootings, and more. [More]

Good girl for the most part. Although I question her characterizing any grabber as “reasonable,” as she does when pointing viewers at the end to a debate she moderated.

Attack of the Texas Vichycons

Two Republicans, Rep. Sam Harless from Spring and Rep. Justin Holland from Rockwall, joined the committee’s Democrats voting for the bill… [More]

Be vewy, vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits.

Here’s his “excuse.”

And how can you tell Sam Harless is lying?

Useless, lying pieces of…

Allred/All Blue?

Allred set to launch Texas Senate run against Cruz [More]

How is he on guns?

How do you think?

The “Californiaing” of Texas won’t help either, especially since:

“The people coming to Texas are on the younger side. And young people, on average, have more progressive views on a number of social issues.”

This guy looks more dangerous than Beto and it looks from voter data like Cruz is going to be in for the political fight of his life. On the whole, women, “progressives,” and minorities will be Allred’s for the taking. And out-of-state Bloombergians, celebrities, and Silicon Valley tech lords are licking their chops and ready to pour in gazillions.

So, what’s the counter-plan?

Punishment on Demand

How often do you see a prosecution where the police are witnesses for the defense? Gov. Abbott should just pardon this guy, right now, and stick it up Soros’ @$$. [More]

Yep. Not that the Dementing Moms would agree.

WarOnGuns Correspondent Michael G has more:

Lead detective’s affidavit says Soros-backed Austin prosecutor CRIMINALLY withheld exculpatory evidence in Daniel Perry case! [More]

Evidently, everyone who doesn’t want to see foreign and domestic enemies destroy the Republic is an antisemite.

Looks like Abbott’s up on pardoning. Now let’s see if the Texas AG is up on prosecuting the damn Marxist persecutor. Enough with “law enforcement.” It’s past damn time for some rights enforcement.

UPDATE

Andrew Branca says the “conviction was legally sound.”

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

RESOLVED, That the Texas House of Representatives and Senate submit the notification to the federal government, the current presidential administration, and any future administration that any attempt to buyback, confiscate, or register some or all firearms, accessories, and ammunition will not be possible or necessary in the counties of Hunt, Hopkins, Van Zandt, and possibly other counties due to this series of alleged boating accidents. [More]

I was worried about environmentalcases having a fit, but we’ve got precedent courtesy of the “Only Ones.”

I don’t live in Texas so it’s a good thing I never had any guns in the first place. Nasty, evil things always going around killing people…

We’re the Only Ones Trigger-Happy Enough

In an exclusive interview on Thursday, Moonesinghe’s mother, Ruth, and brother, Johann, said they were heartbroken and demanded answers from Austin police as to why their loved one was killed so quickly before being given a reasonable amount of time to drop the weapon. [More]

Why? Well, like the union said, “the officer followed his training…”

And Then They Came and They Came

More Than Two Dozen Gun Control Measures Prefiled for 2023 Session of the Texas Legislature [More]

None of them pass the Bruen “historical understanding” benchmark, but that doesn’t matter to the antis, who will never stop because they have the resources and media support to keep coming and coming and coming…

What Kind of Question is THAT?

Was the defendant entitled to a jury charge on self-defense based on his own testimony that he believed his use of force was necessary to protect himself? [More]

Only if courts are meant to determine the truth of guilt or innocence.

That the State argued “No” hardly seems a Blessings of Liberty” move…

Planting the Seed

While the law that created the program does not say that the kits are to help identify children’s bodies after a school shooting, that hasn’t stopped some parents from drawing a link between the two. [More]

Which parents? Democrat gun-grabbers?

Lie, spread the lie, and get the ignorant and emotion-driven all agitated…

This is very similar to how lynch mobs are formed.
