Looks like self defense to me.

In Edmonds, Washington early Thanksgiving morning a mother was awakened by someone pounding on the front door. She call 911 then took her pistol and went to investigate. She found a young man at the front door. He tried to force his way inside and she shot him. He is is currently being treated at a local hospital, and the matter is under investigation.

H/T to Dave.

It's gonna be a hard two years.

Uh Huh

Happy Thanksgiving

Exactly!

That's the frickin' problem with the GOP*. They're afraid the Dems and their media lickspittles will call them mean.

*...and they're more interested in maintaining power than doing the Right thing and when you really think about it they're just as statist as the DEMS and they believe they know how to spend your money better than you and they're really the little socialist party of the U.

Key issues report and Giuliani endorsement add to gun owner concerns with Lynch

As for actions on guns, determining Lynch’s sympathies is indirect, but nonetheless not too hard to divine. She supported anti-gun Hillary Clinton, and then anti-gun Obama in their bids for political power. Earlier, she had supported David Dinkins for Mayor of New York, helping enable his lookalike “assault weapon” ban. And speaking of former Big Apple mayors, Rudy Giuliani, naturally described by “progressive” publications as a “staunch Republican,” gives her a thumbs-up.

Nothing surprising here. Obama isn't going to nominate anyone any different than Eric Holder. That in itself should give gun owners reason enough to oppose her nomination. People are also known by the company you keep. The company Lynch keeps place her the likes of prohibitionists like Obama and Holder. That's reason enough to oppose her nomination.

The likelihood of the establishment GOP providing any real opposition is little to none. Just saying...

This is what I do know. They won't do squat if you if gun owners don't let you Senators know where you stand. The same is true of the NRA. you sit this one out and gun owners lose. So, write, email, call your representatives. Call, email, write the NRA leadership. Let 'em know how you feel.

Shouldn't they be driving a bus?

Pretty sure there was a finger involved here.

Ralik Hansen, 28, believed that the driver, who rang every bell at 360 Snediker Ave. in Brownsville to deliver a package on Oct. 31, was a cop, authorities said.

“In his paranoia, he ran to the bathroom and grabbed a .357 and was trying to shimmy under his couch to hide in his apartment when the gun went off,” a law-enforcement source said.

Oh, well.

Such a good example, he is.

A Davie police officer shot himself in the foot late Saturday when his "off-duty weapon" accidentally fired while he was inside a South University Drive bar, police said Sunday.

So an off duty police officer was at a bar and negligently shot himself in the foot. I suspect a finger was involved here?

H/T to the Duck.

Background Checks Work.

The Numbers Are In. Another Embarrassment.

If of course, the goal is hassling law abiding citizens instead of keeping guns out of the hands of felons and the mentally ill as they claim.

Media covering up Bloomberg hand behind Nevada background check group

Nevadans for Background Checks is a front group for Everytown which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Michael Bloomberg. They are not grassroots. They are astroturf but the media outlets either ignore it or bury in the story hoping people won't notice. Lies by omission are still lies.

More Prohibitionist Bulls*#t

Director Jessica Solce's new documentary, No Control, premieres November 15 and carries a clear message: "There [are] limits to every right... articulated in the Constitution," and gun rights should be no exception.

I believe the Supreme Court placed the limit on our right to free speech at the equivalent to yelling fire in a crowded theater. So it would seem to me that any limits on my Second Amendment rights should be the equivalent. Right? Say I can't take another human life except in defense of my life or that of another. Outside of that limitation I should be able to do what I damn well please with my property as long as my actions don't harm another or their property. Right?

Instead I have to undergo a background check [a NICS check at the very least] to purchase a firearm. There are limits on the types of firearms I can own. There are limits on who can purchase a firearm. There are limits on where I can carry a firearm. There are multiple intrusions on my Second Amendment rights at the local, State, and National level. Those intrusions are called limitations Ms. Solce. The fact is the shear number of regulations and limitations on a my right to bear arms would send a you and other Leftists into a screaming shit fit if that same level of regulation was placed on the rights you hold precious.

Gun rights already have an insane level of regulation on them but that is not enough for you and other prohibitionists because limitation isn't your goal. Abolition is.

Yep

It's what they do...

As much as we like to make fun of Bloomberg and gloried in his earlier defeats, he's not a stupid man and we ignore him at our own risk. We can't match what Bloomberg and his fellow billionaires are willing to spend. I'm not sure what the solution is other than support your local gun rights groups and the NRA and GOA with your time and money. Anyway, both John and Sebastian have thoughts on the matter.

The Ninth Circuit and the right to carry guns: Good-bye Peruta, hello Richards and Baker

The title pretty much says it all. The Court told Cali AG Harris and the Brady Bunch they couldn't intervene in order to petition for a rehearing on the case. That's good, but a couple of other cases are in the queue dealing with the same issues. This is the Ninth Circuit. God only knows the outcome. Nobody else does/

"The Second Amendment Was For When The British Were Coming"

So DC has this new concealed carry law that makes it impossible to actually get a permit. The need for 18 hours of training that doesn't yet exist is, I'm sure, only one of the many roadblocks that exist in the law. The biggest is that it's "may issue" and I can't see the DC Police Chief giving anyone the OK unless forced to.

Another law suit is in order and it sounds like Alan Gura already has it in the works.

It's kinda funny sometimes how quickly the tables turn.

SNAFU

Yesterday afternoon I went into the house's crawlspace in search of a leak and found a pinhole in a copper pipe. No problem to fix. Well, it shouldn't have been. By the time I finished today around two o'clock I'd repaired the pipe, the well tank's pressure gauge, the water filter, and replaced the hot water heater. Even after all that and the time involved, I'm still glad I didn't call a plumber. Time I got plenty of. Money I don't.

More Than Six in 10 Americans Say Guns Make Homes Safer

I didn't need a poll to tell you that.

There's a new nominee for Attorney General so...

If Lynch does get the nod, it’s incumbent upon activist gun owners to demand getting some specific answers, and not to be put off by weasel words and “I believe in the Second Amendment” equivocation – hell, even Barack Obama says that, right before showing everyone his big “but.” If we can’t get assurances, the only acceptable course for the Senate to take is to reject her, and for that to happen, we can’t stand still for NRA to cheese out on us like they did with Holder. If Lynch turns out to be just another apparatchik, gun owners must demand, as they have with other nominees like Sotomayor, Kagan and Murthy, that not just the confirmation vote, but also the vote to bring it out of committee and onto the floor, be scored. And this time, the impact actually ought to mean more than a measly half-grade reduction.

So much for the claim that “Nine out of 10 Americans support [expanded] background checks”

With what may turn out to be a 50-to-1 spending advantage ($9.5 million to what appears to be a couple hundred thousand ($1.7 million was spent on another gun initiative)), the initiative passed with just less than 60 percent of the vote. What this vote implies is that even under ideal circumstances with a massive campaign spending advantage and picking a liberal state where they thought that they would do well, slightly less than 60 percent of the voters supported the initiative.

Unfortunately, all they need is 51% to get their money's worth.

A suggestion for the Stupid Party

If voters really wanted people who would work closely with Obama and other Democrats to “get things done,” they would have just voted for more Democrats.

I could give a crap less if things get done if it's the wrong things getting done.

Fixed it for you.

A seven-year-old girl has been injured after a police firearms expert accidentally negligently discharged a gun during a demonstration.

The discharge of a weapon requires the interaction of a finger and a trigger. Keep your bloody finger off the trigger and the firearm won't discharge. NOT an accident.

The Morning After...

So are we any better off today than yesterday?

Looks like the margin of fraud will keep Malloy and Hickenlooper in office. The Billionaires won in Washington State, but we already knew that money can buy elections as long as it's enough money. I'm sure Bloomberg learned a lot from his fellows in Washington State. My question is how much of their money are they willing to part with. At least anti-gun Brown was kicked to the curb in Maryland of all places.

Republicans took the Senate. This is a mixed blessing at best. They'll screw us in a heartbeat the moment they think they don't need us any more. Wait, let me rephrase that..."the moment they don't fear us any more." Remember these are establishment Republicans. They suffer from the "I know better than you do" delusion of their Democrat Progressive brethren.

I worry the question isn't whether we'll be fucked but when.
