Delay of Game Redux

I've had several people comment to me on the Supreme Court delay on Highland Park that with the current composition of the court, it's better to wait several years until we have more favorable odds.

First off, a right delayed is a right denied. People are at risk now. What else are you willing to so cavalierly "temporarily" surrender while gun owners in occupied territories are risking everything with brave noncompliance?

Second, what makes you think the amnesty sellout by pathway to citizenship Democrats and cheap labor Republicans is going to result in the court you envision, as opposed to one that goes the other way?

People who are venturing such wishful thinking: How about offering something beyond opinions, anecdotes and platitudes that can refute all credible data -- not to mention the California experience -- about where manipulative immigration politics will lead?

People have been saying this "we're not ready" crap for over 20 years. So what happens when they kick the can down the road 10 years and outcomes are still too uncertain for them?

Brazil to End Restrictions on Gun Ownership

Not really, but it's a good first step. [More]

Naturally, the totalitarian lobby is aghast.

Picking the Low-Hanging Fruit

The man accused of threatening to burn down a college campus building in Fort Collins has been charged with illegal possession of a high-capacity magazine, marking the first time the charge has been filed in Northern Colorado since controversial legislation was signed into law more than two years ago. [More]
So can we assume the "I will not comply" movement has succeeded in relegating enforcement to add-on charges?

Delay of Game

The Supreme Court now says we need to wait for next Friday's conference for further info on the Highland Park "assault weapon" ban case, assuming they don't delay it again. I added an update at the end of last Friday's AmmoLand post. [More]

Radar Love

Multiple informed sources confirm the world-famous actor, whom Radar has chosen not to identify, has been diagnosed with the deadly virus that usually leads to AIDS itself...Alarmingly though, some sources said he has continued to be promiscuous. [More]
Then assuming your story isn't a lie, don't you "journalists" have the same moral obligation to identify him as you would a serial killer? Not only does it mean he's out there creating new victims, but so are his partners, including ones who may not know--and Radar Online is aiding and abetting that.

How sleazy can a tabloid get?

It's not like people desperate for fame don't let these Hollywood vampires use them.

We're Number One!

And naturally:

How many Democrat-controlled and/or MAIG member cities can you find on the list?

Captain's Log

A Rose By Any Other Name

"I [suggest] that people who commit property crimes are human and deserved to be referred to in terms that acknowledge that," Cyril, who's the executive director of the Center for Media Justice in Oakland, writes in the thread. "I think we should think twice before speaking in disparaging terms about 'those criminals,'" she adds later in the thread. [More]
Why double down? She hasn't even demonstrated she's capable of thinking once.

Kicking the Can?

High Bridge Arms, founded in the mid-1950s by Olympic shooter Bob Chow, shuts down rather than give local police its customer list. [More]
Are they going to move to a location outside of the hive?  Because if they're just closing down, they're required to turn their records over to ATF.

The arrogance of Commissar Farrell is telling. Imagine what he and those like him would do if they could.

Hey, if you don't have anything to hide...

And if you do, what better way to keep you in line...?

The Socialist Appeal

There is “no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous ‘cash payment,’ ” Mr. Gliniecki read. [More]
That said:
Mr. Gliniecki sold 50 copies of the Socialist Appeal newspaper at a rally attended by the new Labour leader. Mr. Gliniecki says he would typically sell 20 to 30 copies at such a rally. 
Did he require callous cash payments?

Armor of Light

...just another stab at anti-gun indoctrination. [More]
That's some mojo.

And hopefully, useful idiot Schenck, joining forces with a Planned Parenthood supporter to attack his base, just committed fundraising suicide.

Pride Goeth before Destruction, and an Haughty Spirit before a Fall.

I was proud to elect Congressman Paul Ryan to the position. [More]
The Democrats were pretty happy, too.

This useless dolt continues to prove himself every bit the destructive establishment tool his predecessor, Steve Latourette Syndrome, was.

And oh, look -- now that the Bolsheviks got their boy Ryan in, they can take the gloves off. It won't be long before they resume painting him as a "right-wing extremist," meaning anyone who takes a harder line is enrolled on the DHS domestic terror watch list.

By the way, that's a nice touch, posting the bottom photo sideways, right after talking about the future promise of new technologies.

Executive Privilege

The White House will try to block the release of a handful of emails between President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, citing longstanding precedent invoked by presidents of both parties to keep presidential communications confidential, officials said Friday. [More]
Figures.

What email address were they sending stuff to?

Another Chicago Gun Death Adds to Toll

A robbery was thwarted at a Southwest Side corner store Saturday night when a patron with a concealed carry license shot and killed an armed robber, authorities said. [More]
Snuffy Pfleger wishes the customer and the store employees had been killed instead.
