FBI Violent Extremist Groups Website Short and One-Sided on Domestic Examples

Curious. Absent from the radar are communists and domestic Islamist groups.  And evidently,  George Soros-affiliated “Women’s March” partners, along with #DisruptJ20 radicals and black separatist and reconquista agitators are also of no concern. So let’s cut to the chase and see who really bears special scrutiny, in the eyes of the FBI, “militia extremists”... [More]
And a federal judge dismissed charges on the one example they gave.

No Signs of the Times

About that mall robbery...

Fredd Bergmann sent me this photo of the entrance, and it's not posted:

We're the Only Ones Insecure Enough

Authorities say a New Jersey police officer left his personal .357-caliber revolver loaded and unsecured on a shelf before his 8-year-old daughter fatally shot herself. [More]
I used to hate it when my kids did that.

Goddam phony.

I wonder why. [Watch]

Somehow, calling someone a "racist gringo" feels like a logical disconnect. And how is protecting our culture destroying theirs? Since when is that an act of aggression? And is that supposed to be Trump dead on the operating table at the end?

An Opposite Day 'Progressive' Women's March

What better place for a "man" to smack a woman in the face while approving "feminists" let him get away with it? [More]

A telling thing about Dion Bews: He's trying to hide by deactivating social media putting password access on his website.  Guess he hasn't heard about the Wayback Machine.

Looks like he's slated to be an exhibitor at La Conner Guitar Festival 2017 in May.  I wonder if that will change.

Captain's Log


Effective Engagement

This week, three pro-rights firearms bills that AzCDL is supporting are scheduled for committee hearings ... HB 2117, which would strengthen the rights of state militia members ... HB 2216, which would make it illegal to track firearms or their owners via electronic systems, databases, etc. ... HB 2287, which would change the language regarding the culpable mental state required to prove a person unlawfully discharged a firearm... [More]
Making a difference sure takes a lot more than anonymously griping and posting "Molon Labe" comments, doesn't it?

Speaking of Dividing Us

Now that's almost funny right there.

You Should be So Alone

He really has no one but those who voted for him. Do they understand what a lift daily governance is going to be, and how long the odds are, with so much arrayed against him, and them? [More]

Maybe they can find a nice "gun-free zone" safe space to throw their tantrums in.

UT-Austin students sure were different within my lifetime.

UPDATE: It appears the link is being taken down from various sites where this has appeared.  I don't know why so I guess we'll just need to speculate. It could be someone got tricked into posting on it, but I can't say I know that for a fact.

UPDATE 2: Yeah, looks like it was pulled because the protest happened.

Personal observation: When I get fooled -- and it happens to better people than me -- I try to own up to it rather than erase all traces.  That's one of the things that's supposed to differentiate us from the way collectivists revise history.

Every Kill Begins at Kays?

"Ask me which policy I prefer. Go on, ask."
San Antonio Police Spokesman Douglas Greene said late Sunday that Converse Police had arrested a 35-year-old man believed to be the suspect who had escaped after a fatal attempted robbery of Kay Jewelers at Rolling Oaks Mall earlier in the day. [More]
What a nice-looking young man. How'd you like to run into him ... anywhere? Especially if he was armed and you weren't?

I'm getting conflicting sources on the GFZ status of Rolling Oaks Mall.  Some are saying it's a Simon Mall, with that as a nationwide policy, but the mall is owned by WP Glimcher, which per a 2015 Dayton Daily News report prohibits concealed carry nationwide. That said, this site says they're "neutral," so the truth (with proof) from someone who actually knows -- and can send a photo of relevant signage -- would be most helpful.

It does call truth in advertising into question:


And then there's Kay Jewelers, widely reported to also be anti-gun, owned by the same outfit that makes it easy to say "He went to Jared."

And regardless of all that, evidently there was a concealed-carrying "Good Samaritan" who tried to intervene  and lost his life [UPDATE: There's some confusion on this. See comment below.]. No doubt the antis will seize on that to make their case, ignoring that having a gun has never been a guarantee of 100 % success -- otherwise, making it home at the end of their shift would never be a factor in"Only Ones" responses. And the case can be made that anticipating a GFZ is a factor in choosing perceived soft targets.

Curious and telling, how no one who says requiring disarmament makes everyone safer wants to sign one of these:

CLARIFICATION UPDATE:
A shopper who tried to stop the robbery was killed by gunfire. Another bystander who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon shot and wounded one of the suspects.
ANOTHER UPDATE: The mall isn't posted.
