Repeal Existing Intolerable Acts

Senate votes to repeal Obama’s ban on gun sales for certain Social Security recipients [More]
Now it's on to President Trump for signature.

I'd talked about it here.

Here's a Congressional Research Service report published on Monday that was just forwarded to me  -- I posted it on Scribd but should have checked with the Federation of American Scientists first, because sure enough, here it is.

Anyway, now you have two places you can download it from, and aside from a handful of policy wonks, most gun owners won't even hear about this.

Not So Pretty Little Liar Spreads Bloomberg’s Sexist, Due Process-Denying Gun Grab

No matter that “boyfriend” is hardly a fixed legal term, nor is “date.” There’s also the “Hell hath no fury” factor, along with just finding out you’ve let a confused and hostile bipolar head case vampire cross your threshold, and now you just want them out. [More]
How about if someone commits a criminal act they get prosecuted, pronounced guilty by a fully-informed jury of their peers and convicted before a just and appropriate sentence is meted out? Or is that something only extremist haters ask for?

It's a Madhouse! A MAADDHOUSE!!!

So last month, just before President Donald Trump's inauguration, the APA conducted an additional poll to check on the nation's mental health. The picture isn't pretty. [More]
And we all know how the APA feels about guns...

Bizarro Constitutional Carry


HB 112 would only allow individuals to carry a concealed firearm without a permit so long as a cartridge is not chambered or in the case of a revolver, two empty consecutive chambers in the cylinder.  [More]
Those who proposed and sponsored this insulting abomination deserve to be mercilessly ridiculed out of office and then ridden out of the state on a rail -- after a generous application of tar and feathers.

Why, here they are:
And looky here:

Oh, and look who joined Perry on HB 237, which:
"...contains all of the same provisions as House Bill 112, with one important difference.  This legislation expands Utah’s firearm prohibitions to include domestic relationships beyond those in federal law, including acts between two individuals who have, at one time, lived in the same residence, regardless of the nature of their relationship.  In addition, HB 237 attempts to vilify firearms by unnecessarily adding additional penalties for the mere possession of a firearm in one of the aforementioned situations, regardless of if the actual firearm was used in the commission of a crime.  If enacted, HB 237 would remove the judge’s discretion when it comes to restricting the Second Amendment rights of individuals."
Waddup, my man Curt?



Sure, Gomer, go ahead.

And let the "pragmatic" apologia commence.

You Mean They Don't Just Hate the SECOND Amendment?

Bloomberg-funded Nevadans for Background Checks has us in the crosshairs over Question 1 again. In attempts to find some form of wrongdoing, the group has issued several requests to various state agencies for communications related to the ballot question. [More]
So much for the right "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Gee, I wonder why the totalitarian wannabes are so desperate to disarm the citizenry.

Always Think Forfeiture

Chris Christie vetoes unanimous bill that would make NJ cops disclose what they seize through asset forfeiture [More]
Lemme guess: He got one of those Leatherman tools?

The White Terror


Gee, that's the same point SPLC has been trying to make. [More]

Anybody see any Constitutionalist Liberty advocates in there?  You know, those of us who stress things like no prior restraint punishments, and insistence on due process for all...?

Unlike Leonard Pitts ...

Just Give Them What They Want

Woman shot in head Monday as she offered $2 to armed robber, New Orleans police say [More]
So much for taking a stroll down Benefit Street.

Any bets on the assailant turning out to be a resentment-filled BLM supporter?

We're the Only Ones Taking Our Own Sweet Time Enough

"I'm sitting here panicking wondering if they're going to use my guns in another robbery or possibly kill someone, and that's what I was trying to stress to NOPD," Bowsky said. "Someone needs to get here today to try and at least catch these guys before they use these weapons."
Police didn't come to his house until Dec. 16, two days after he reported the burglary. [More]
A citizen had his guns taken away and new opportunities for blood dancing have been created? Sounds like a win-win for the gun-grabbers, if you think about it...

[Via Florida Guy]   

Knew or Should Have Known

The government was warned that the Oroville Dam emergency spillway was unsafe. It didn’t listen. [More]
Whew. Good thing we have taxpayers.

And why does this come to mind...?

Good for the Goose?

"Speaking at a party in what I thought was a personal conversation... " [More]

Oh, you mean kind of like the "pussy" remark?  Funny, instead of "racing to distance themselves" from you, it looks like one "my bad" non-excuse and you're back in "progressive" good graces.

I guess it pays to be "Authorized Journalist" royalty.

Blast from the (Recent) Past

What with all the outrage and whining that's been going on since November about the electoral college vs. the "popular vote"... [More]

Teach Your Children Well

SCHOOLTEACHERS FIRED FOR PRO-TRUMP REMARKS - Even comments made off campus are now grounds for termination [More]
Meanwhile:

A Natural(ized) Constituency

They can virtue-signal all they want about the unending glories of “diversity,” but at the heart the left knows that Third World immigration is the key to building what they have called a “permanent Democratic majority” in the United States. Because, in addition to all the societal, criminal and budgetary ills many post-1965 immigrants bring, they also tend to vote for liberal politicians, and by significant enough percentages to swing elections in favor of Democrats in key states. [More]
Thank goodness none of that has anything to do with that "single issue."

Isn't that right Grover, Wayne, Alan...?

Right, "gun bloggers"?

Indementia Jones?

This is also what his imbecilic politics result in.
Ford has been involved in a series of crashes and near-crashes while flying aircraft. [More]
And one of them looks like it involved a substantial head injury. Sounds like it may be time to clip his wings before he kills someone besides himself.

Sorry -- the "action star's" call for citizen disarmament has ruined his credibility for me:
While Ford has starred in many shoot-’em-up thrillers, he said he abhors America’s liberal gun laws. “I’m very troubled by the proliferation of arms, at the fact so many people in the United States carry guns,” he said, according to the AAP. “It obviously contributes greatly to the crime problems we have. I’m sure gun laws should be strengthened in the United States. I just don’t know the correct mechanism.” 
And South Park has ruined Indy's (NSFW and proceed on your own).
