Más Kool-Aid Por Favor!

I've had a link forwarded to me which, on the surface and without closer examination, would seem to contradict my Scott Walker report:
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon for the Sirius XM Patriots network, Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker said he does not support amnesty and the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake, who previously reported Walker supports a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal immigrants took him “out of context.” [More]
How about the Wasau Daily Herald?

Did they take him out of context?

Yes, Fletcher? You had something to add...?

Obama’s DREAMer poster girl portends nightmare for gun owners

"We would be nowhere without all the PLANistas who fight everyday for reform and will continue to fight until there is a pathway to citizenship for all 11 million. We are ready for this fight." [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a manipulative motivation behind a heartstring-tugging sucker job.

Hurry While This Once-In-a-Lifetime Opportunity Lasts!

The bill would require a person who, between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2013, inclusive, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with the use of a tool, and who, on or after January 1, 2014, possesses that firearm, to register the firearm by July 1, 2015.

Don't make the same mistake I did...

Right?

Just Not Mature Enough to Wait

I love it when the occasional self control-challenged zealot drops the mask of incrementalism and reveals the end game. [More]

No one wants to take your guns, you paranoids?

Of course they do. And "legitimate news media" is happy to employ them and give them a forum.

That's why it's commiesense gun control!

Thanks Gerald! But are you sure you're not really one of us? Because if I wanted to pose as an anti to gin up resistance, this is pretty close to what I'd write.

UPDATE: Workman weighs in.

We're the Only Ones Unarresting Enough

An off-duty Chicago Police officer has been stripped of his arrest powers after he allegedly fired multiple times at an off-duty suburban cop who tried to pull him over after suspecting he was driving drunk, law enforcement sources said Monday. [More]
Any non-"Only Ones" think if you'd pulled this, you wouldn't be in either intensive care or the morgue right now?

Purely Economic

The reality is, they'll stay as long as customers tolerate it. [More]

If most gun owners don't give a damn, and based on the sorry mess we're in, most don't, nothing will change.

Most aren't even aware that the "extremist gun lobby" is training their oppressors.  How many have called for that to end in confiscation states, with consequences if it doesn't?

When this all blows up on us, and when you are forced to make the "surrender and obey or be destroyed" decision, with unimaginable hardship, loss and desperation visited on those who opt for the first choice, reserve a little blame for those who would not lift a finger now.

We're the Only Ones Punchy Enough

FOX31 Denver has obtained video of a Denver police officer punching an unarmed suspect in the face six times, then moments later, tripping the man’s seven-and-a-half-months pregnant girlfriend. [More]
What did I just get done saying about getting punchy, fellas, and what that can do to someone? Some of you, including those who tolerate, not just those who commit, sure make it tough to call for understanding when it's appropriate.

Ready for War

I guess if you're going to be forced into one, it might as well be by idiots who think possession of a few tools is all you need. [More]

The Myth of the Unarmed Man

If you don't believe media bias plays a role in how Americans interpret use of force by law enforcement, try this simple test. Do a Google search for "police officer kills unarmed man." I did and I got 179,000 results. Searching "Police officer shoots unarmed man" returned 205,000 results. Finally, I flipped the search around and typed, "unarmed man attacks police officer." I got this message: "No results found." [More]
Make sure you put the terms in quotation marks.

Here's another useful search to corroborate the justification for not allowing yourself to be attacked: "killed by punch".

The good thing about guns, as many who have been through a DGU can attest, is their presentation is often enough to make a potential attacker reconsider so the situation is resolved without coming to blows or worse. That's a good thing.

If an assailant will not allow that to happen, well, I have this saying. I'm not going to let some moron sociopath put my life and/or health at risk if I can stop him instead, using whatever means at my disposal to get the job done.

Whatever means. My experienced friend will attest to that.

You'll note no "Only Ones" title for this post. Just as I don't support police having special immunities withheld from We the People, I don't expect them, as individual human beings first, to have any fewer.

The Second Rebellion

Congress in its entirely was slaughtered, and hung upside-down from lamp posts though, unlike Mussolini, they were not emasculated. It was pretty much agreed that they had taken care of this themselves long ago. [More]
He probably meant to say "entirety," but the guy is suffering from a quack-induced eye malady and if a word processor assumes how to complete a word and if the result isn't flagged by spell check, typos happen.

Bottom line is, as always, a great ree... uh... read. And "Clitler" is a keeper for future application.

This Day in History: November 25

It gives me great pleasure to learn from yourself, that the State over which you preside is tranquil.—Would to God it may ever remain so, and that all others would follow the example. Internal dissentions, and jarrings with our neighbors, are not only productive of mischievous consequences, as it respects ourselves, but has a tendency to lessen our national character, and importance in the eyes of European powers. If any thing can, this will expose us to their intriguing politics, and may shake the Union. [More]
