A Distinguished Character

Kurt notes the most distinguishing feature about this cause and effect-challenged character is his irrationality -- that and he's a hate-filled moron. No wonder he's a darling of "progressive" academia! [More]

Update: Workman's take.

Gun year in review picks top stories for 2014

Look for the phenomenon to grow as more gun owners take notice and decide the most effective activism may be to repurpose Nancy Reagan’s “Just say no” slogan. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the most significant stories may be the ones most have overlooked.

The Theory of Relativity

The fruit doesn't fall all that far from the tree sometimes. [More]

What an ignorant, entitled, militant b!+ch that "outraged" relative sounds like. I wish I knew who she was so I could help direct deserved contempt her way.

When young reptile Adric put a gun to another human being's head and forced him to his knees, he forfeited any claim to life and liberty. It's not hard to hear where he got his "ethics" from.

The One Thing Needful

We have the means to secure our own liberty and property and lives. We have but to recognize it. [More]
Vanderboegh is masterful in this first installment of a promised series.

The needful thing now is for you to read it and then share it.

Captain's Log

About that first one -- In general, and admitting I don't know the specifics, I can't say that would be my first reaction. My armchair gut instinct, if I really thought it was truly my business and an intervention was needed, would be to call over and make it known I was acting as a witness and calling the police before escalating everything to the tripwire level. Maybe I'm being naive here, and perhaps the situation truly warranted such a forceful response, and maybe my aversion to making a gun the first resort instead of the last will be something I or my family would come to regret...

The Content of His Character

A south suburban man who, according to prosecutors, posted on Facebook earlier this month that he wanted to “kill as many cops and unarmed white kids as possible” and kept a makeshift shooting range in his basement was ordered held in lieu of no bail in Cook County court on Saturday. [More]
But there's a wrinkle:
But the owner of the home told the station that gun belonged to her and that Woodfin does not pose a threat to the community ... "He was speaking his mind," Beatrice Franklin told the station.
See, he was "outraged." And I'm sure commensurate understanding would be extended if a white person posted about killing "as many ... unarmed black kids as possible."

Even if the gun is hers, the fingerprints of a "prohibited person" on it would make for a case. Thing is, if we're going to have consistent justice and not prove out the "progressive" charge of racism in selective prosecutions, isn't there someone else who's left plenty of evidence of gun-handling while under "disability"?

This Day in History: December 29

The Idea of many of the Military being interested in the Independency of Vermont in consequence of their having taken Grants of Lands under them I believe is without foundation. There was a Period when the Disposition of Congress, founded on political Expedience, appeared so favorable to the Independence of that District, as to have induced some Gentlemen of the Army to apply to the usurped Government for Grants: But when it was discovered that they were intriguing with the common Enemy, the more respectable Characters withdrew their Applications and relinquished all kind of Connections with them and even those who did not go so far I immagine conceive themselves as perfectly secure under our late Acts.
