Will Norquist’s Immigration Stance Make Hillary’s Gun Tax a Reality?

But what can’t be overlooked is that immigration policies championed by Americans for Tax Reform’s president Grover Norquist can make new gun taxes a reality within a decade or two, and forget Hillary’s measly 25%.  He’s enabling the potential to go full Mariana. [More]
What does Grover think Hillary will do about guns and taxes once he helps her get the votes she needs through “amnesty” for untold millions?

Flying Flag over Capitol Sends Message of Defiance to Gun-Grabbers

I asked for the flag to be flown on April 19 with the notation: “In tribute to the Citizen Patriots of Lexington and Concord who resisted confiscation of their armaments on this date in 1775, and in continued defiance of all who would infringe on the Right of the People to keep and bear arms.” [More]
It doesn't hurt to remind these people how their positions of privilege came to be in the first place.

No Charge

911 caller won't be charged in Ohio Wal-Mart police shooting [More]
That's what happens when the bulk of your "knowledge" comes from "gun safety advocates."

We're the Only Ones Prematurely Discharging Enough

A San Francisco sheriff’s deputy accidentally discharged a non-duty weapon, a "baby Glock," inside the Hall of Justice on Wednesday morning, apparently while trying to demonstrate the proper use of the weapon to a colleague. [More]
In fairness, I've yet to find  "a 22-caliber 'baby' Glock" that's worth a damn...

I once had a reporterette get all snotty on me for "getting all technical" and expecting easily-obtainable subject matter accuracy from a professional journalist. I just spent a few minutes trying to locate that old post, but don't even remember what year it was.

Domestic Enemies -- Opposite Day 'Progressive-Style'

Yeah, how dare sheriffs embrace the Constitution and law enforcement personnel consider themselves "peace officers"?  And what about those anti-government extremists who believe their oath to the Constitution takes precedence over orders? [More]

Thanks for setting us straight, George Soros and the Center for Public Integrity! NBC couldn't have boosted this without you!

We're the Only Ones Kosher Enough

NYPD cops pocketed cash bribes to “expedite” pistol permits for members of the Orthodox Jewish community — and a Boro Park Shomrim patrol leader offered another officer a near $1 million payday to keep the scheme going, the feds charged Monday. [More]
Such a deal!

It's Not Like Environmentalism is a Fanatical Religion or Anything

That is why Australia has to have such strong biosecurity laws... [More]
Yep -- bring in your lap dogs and become the star of a hostage video.

Say, how's "progressive" Australia on other things getting in, you know, like refugees...?

Hey, gotta protect that biosecurity...

We're the Only Ones Feeling No Pain Enough

 An off-duty Houston police officer cleared in a 2011 fatal shooting outside a bar was considered "legally intoxicated" by his department when he opened fire on two unarmed men ... But the conclusions in the report ... were never presented to the grand jury that cleared Coronado because courts have ruled that internal police investigations cannot be used against officers in criminal cases. [More]
So what options for justice are left ...?

Ice Cube on Guns

I can see where the concept might appeal to some. [More]

Oh, you mean this moron...

We're the Only Ones Situationally Aware Enough

Those sources say a Sergeant later told officers in the room that they had secretly ordered the officer to unload his weapon and then pretend to fire on his colleague as part of a “training exercise” on situational awareness. The officer then pulled the trigger of the unloaded weapon while pointing it at the head of an officer until it audibly clicked, the sources say. [More]
And here I've been dismissing the notion of superior police training all these years...

UPDATE: Herschel share his thoughts.

So THAT Explains It

“We’re kind of a state where firearms and hunting is part of our culture,” Siebenaler said. [More]
So it's the Fudds' fault.  I knew there was something about those guys.

My favorite "progressive solution":
“It’s really about the creation of public spaces and giving people an alternative to violence,” she said.
That just says so much.

What Better Way for Opposite Day 'Progressives' to Celebrate Patriots Day?

Tuesday, April 19, the Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection is scheduled to hear Assembly Bill 2459. This detrimental bill, authored by NRA-PVF “F” rated Assembly Member Kevin McCarty, would close practically every gun store in the Golden State if enacted into law. [More]
Good thing what's going on with the electorate in California to make inevitable a virtually unchallengeable Democrat majority has nothing to do with that "single issue."  Right, Grover?

The Only Thing that Stops a Bad Guy with a Gun?

"If someone is coming at our kids with deadly force then it should be met with the same deadly force," said Silverthorn. [More]
Don't tell the "progressives" -- they think that line of reasoning is something to ridicule and to call a "myth."

Wolf in the Fold

Misplaced trust is the predator's most powerful resource. [More]
That and once they no longer need to keep up pretenses, they're insatiable.

We're the Only Ones Ethical Enough

Former President of the St. Louis Law Enforcement Officer Association, Darren Randal Wilson, was indicted on multiple fraud charges. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Wilson was involved in misappropriation of over $80,000 from the Ethical Society of Police, an association of African American St. Louis police officers. [More]
How disillusioning! If you can't trust St. Louis LEO association bureaucrats, who can you trust?

Once Upon a Time...


And they lived pappily ever after...?
Disney used to be a company that celebrated more traditional values, back before they became leading agents of citizen disarmament and other "progressive" agenda goals.

Their ABC network has a show titled "Once Upon a Time," populated by fairy tale characters as diverse as Rumpelstiltskin, Captain Hook, Snow White, and Pinocchio (and a female lead referred to as "the Savior"), having adventures in places like Neverland, Wonderland, Oz, and, unsurprisingly, hell (or at least Hades' underworld), where consorting with the dead is a way of... uh... life.  I mention diversity because Mulan apparently had the hots for Sleeping Beauty (but didn't tell her in time before the prince kissed her awake and they went off to live hetero ever after), and Little Red Riding Hood, who is a werewolf, has recently coupled in "true love" with Dorothy.

You know, kids' fare. So our little princes and princesses can grow up to be just like Miley Cyrus or something.

Sorry, but when Red goes down -- on all fours, I mean -- who but an intolerant, hateful specist would not celebrate the "Beauty and the Beast" potentials? Heck, my first thought, on hearing the damsel in distress was Dorothy, was "Toto too?"

I bring this all up because of the brouhaha the Bradys are trying to create with ignorant "PSAs" killing off popular storybook characters due to "lax gun laws." That appears to be a reaction to "NRA Family" featuring fairy tale favorites saving the day with DGUs.

It's "funny" that one "reimagining" brings "progressive"condemnation, but if you dare to raise an eyebrow at their version, prepare to be included on SPLC's "Hate Watch."

"Live and let live" is no longer enough.  And yes, it's in your face now, and they do intend to ram it down your throat.

The Right of the People to Be Disarmed Shall Not Be Infringed

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot to death in 2012 by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, said, “This is about human rights. Not only about civil rights, but this is about human rights. [More]
Funny -- peculiar funny, not ha-ha funny -- that's just what the North Koreans say.

Also funny: The rabidly pro-monopoly of violence New York Daily News has a call-out link embedded in the story to a "related" archive piece titled "UNARMED SEAN BELL KILLED BY COPS HOURS BEFORE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MARRIED."
