Train Smart - The War on Guns

Arms-Bearing Conduct

If you can do it by yourself you can do it with others. [Watch]

And yeah, the video title is over the top, but hardly surprising considering the source.

Nice to see the militia aspect being promoted by a 2A lawyer as a necessary legal argument — too often it’s overlooked with individual self-defense soaking up all the energy.

I do wonder if states that would go after private “militias” would ignore Everytown’s “Train Smart” for similar activities in the field.

Yeah, my expectations have been pretty low.

Toxic Shock Syndrome

It means that they are the same people who also believe that toxic masculinity is everywhere and is the root cause for every single problem in this country. pic.twitter.com/DdKDUiBkiy

With Tampon Timmy, it’s more like Toxic Shock.

Leave it to congenital sanctimonious hoplophobe Francis the Talking Mule to opine on what terrifies men.

And isn’t it hilarious that the strongest opposition to SMART training is coming from their hard core “members”true believers”?

In the Pinc

“But I think the more opportunities for education in responsible firearms ownership and use the better,” Pincus said. [More]

No problem finding common ground with AstroTurfers and flat-out grabbers.

Absolutists warning against alliances with Democrats, not so much.

What a trainer wreck. Speaking of which, when are the “smart” Bloombergians going to train people on America’s most popular rifle, you know, for “gun safety” to benefit millions, and how will they square that with demands to ban them?

Besides, training Democrats: What could go wrong?

Fudd U, Where Learning and Propaganda Meet

Everytown wants to help people be safer and more responsible with a firearm. That’s our sole goal. [Watch]

So, right off Judas goat Greg Lickenc…uh…brock starts off with a lie. Maybe that’s why THEY DON’T ALLOW COMMENTS on the video.

What, no last names so we can check qualifications? Or at least tell them to get the hell out of our gun stores and take their business over to Dick’s?

And now useful can the information be if they don’t offer a course on the most popular rifle in America, deliberately excluding tens of millions of gun owners?

And after class, we can all grab lunch at Woke Castle!

For all you Democrat gun owners out there…

Hey… how come Real Man doesn’t want to fight you? And I assume you have no size issues…?

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.
