Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

So this is good. It’s good because it once again demonstrates that the police are on the side of the globalists and will always and forever serve their globalist masters, and it will serve to convince the people that the police are not on their side.
This is actually extremely bad for the police. Assuming, that is, the judge doesn’t hold them in contempt, in which case it goes from bad to worse.
Little boy “big hair” would have you believe this is just a few malcontents pulling this off. But a few malcontents couldn’t pull of something like this. It’s grass roots, required little planning, and includes virtually all walks of life (except for the police, who will do the bidding of the globalists).
This is called swarm behavior. I hear retired generals, aspiring Lt. Colonels and pretend-scholars discuss swarm behavior all the time. They have no idea what swarm behavior means.
It’s taken from the behavior of things like bees, where subtle signals between insects inform them of circumstances, share intelligence, and illicit innate behaviors as if a symphonic masterpiece was being performed without direction. It could be chemical or pheromone signals to attack or move the hive, it could be a single bee performing a “waggle dance” to tell other bees where food is or where a potential new hive could be, or many other things. Swarm behavior has nothing to do with lots of people or insects crowding around. Generals and Lt. Colonels are mostly idiots, as are most “scholars” of warfare.
In this case, the swarm occurred because signals were seen and heard, people watched, and people responded the way their heart told them to. That tells you something about their heart, what they’ve endured the last couple of years, and just how much they’re willing to tolerate. There is no leader to speak of. This is the workers deciding when they’ve had enough.
Food is everywhere, horns are still honking (in spite of the court order to stop it), and the court order to return fuel to the truckers has added to their stores to extend the stay.
So far, life is good. Big hair is scared. He cannot turn this off. There is no spigot to close or switch to flip. The parliament is scared. The globalists are scared. They’ve lost control. Control is everything to them.
Dave Hardy reporting on Virginia’s stance on the case in front of SCOTUS (NY State Rifle and Pistol).
“Following the change in Administration on January 15, 2022, the Attorney General has reconsidered Virginia’s position in this case. The purpose of this letter is to notify the Court that Virginia no longer adheres to the arguments contained in its previously filed brief. Virginia is now of the view that New York’s handgun permit regime is irreconcilable with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which secures an individual right to bear arms outside the home for self-defense.”
So far, the new governor of Virginia continues to impress me. Hopefully this trend will last.
Continuing his great video content and presentations, Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner discusses chokes for home defense shotguns. Sure enough, as soon as he said Lucky Gunner had gotten a shipment of Federal Flight Control in and it may be gone by the time this video was viewed, yep, they’re out of it.
“As seen in the body-worn camera video released by Minneapolis Police, Mr. Locke appears to be sleeping on the couch during the execution of a no-knock warrant, “ stated Bryan Strawser, Chair, Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. “He is awoken with a confusing array of commands coming from multiple officers who are pointing lights and firearms at him.”
“Mr. Locke did what many of us might do in the same confusing circumstances, he reached for a legal means of self-defense while he sought to understand what was happening, “ added Rob Doar, Senior VP, Governmental Affairs.
“The tragic circumstances of Mr. Locke’s death were completely avoidable, “ stated Doar. “It’s yet another example where a no-knock warrant has resulted in the death of an innocent person. In this case, as in others, the public should expect and receive full transparency and accountability from law enforcement agencies that serve and protect our local communities.”
“Amir Locke, a lawful gun owner, should still be alive, “ added Strawser. “Black men, like all citizens, have a right to keep and bear arms. Black men, like all citizens, have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizure.”
The deceased wasn’t a suspect in any crime. Now he is dead.
No, I don’t want full transparency. No, there will never be full accountability for all of the thousands killed in police raids in America.
What I want is for this wicked practice to be outlawed. The men who perpetrate it aren’t heroes of the community. They are paid thugs doing the bidding of a police state.
There is some utopianism here, some tip of the hat to “we the government are here to help and make things better by fighting a war on drugs.”
I … DON’T … CARE … ABOUT … YOUR … WAR … ON … DRUGS. Nor do I support it. I don’t want you to conduct a war on anything.
There is also some tip of the hat to tax collection going on here. The FedGov gets taxes from the legal (and also addictive) narcotics sold by doctors/pharmacies. They just don’t get it when something natural is crafted by makers of liquor.
WILKES COUNTY, N.C. — A Wilkes County man pleaded guilty on Friday in Charlotte for distilling moonshine, according to The Charlotte Observer.
Clifton Ray Anderson Jr., 47, is from a farm community of Boomer and is the fifth person to plead guilty for a white-lightning distribution ring out of the county.
Anderson Jr. pled guilty to possession of an unregistered still and conspiracy to defraud the United States of excise taxes on distilled liquor.
Of his role in the ring, Anderson Jr. said “I’m the distiller. I’m the one who made it.” He said he was trying to help out the poor people in the community. He said many people struggle and don’t even receive food stamps in their county.
Anderson said he is a cattle farmer seven days a week and didn’t need the money, but did it as a service to others.
Prosecutors said Anderson leased a barn for $500 a month to produce more than 9,000 gallons of untaxed liquor from April 2018 to September 2020. He leased the barn from Gary Matthew Ray, 53, who has already pled guilty in the case.
Ray, along with Wilkesboro resident Roger Nance, 76, and Hamptonville resident Huie Kenneth Nicholson, 75, drove the moonshine to Virginia. They delivered it to James Patterson, 71, of Dinwiddie, Virginia to sell and distribute.
The ring cost the government over $100,000 in federal and state taxes. The conspiracy and illegal-still possession charges each carry a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Did you catch the part in bold? That’s sort of like the street thief saying you cost him money by buttoning your pocket when you walked down the street.
And it doesn’t slip past me that the liquor tax began when George Washington found a way to pay the back wages of the soldiers after the war of independence. Congress failed him by not coming up with the money promised to the soldiers, and he found a way. But this set the worst precedent imaginable.
Just to be clear, the price he cites isn’t related to the gun he’s shooting. The price he cites pertains to the stock Beretta 1301 ordered from the factory.
The gun he’s shooting is modified by Langdon Tactical with an extended mag tube, forend including Magpul attachment points, Aridus Industries adapters, and a Magpul stock. This raises the price a bit.
“We are on day eight of this occupation. Our city is under siege. What we’re seeing is bigger than just a City of Ottawa problem. This is a nationwide insurrection. This is madness. We need a concrete plan to put an end to this,” said the chair of the board, Ottawa City Council member Diane Deans, at the beginning of the nearly two-hour-long virtual discussion.
So the answer is given to her.
Protest organizer Benjamin Dichter says people who are unhappy about the honking should be contacting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and ask him to lift COVID-19 mandates.
“To anybody who is annoyed, we apologize. Please call Justin Trudeau, his office, and get these mandates lifted, and we’re out of here,” Dichter said at a press conference in Ottawa on Feb. 6.
Trudeau has refused to meet with the protesters.
Oh, you mean give up our power? That’s what it’ll take? Um … no. We want somebody to go in and shoot people.
Or something else, mind you, like wet operations, or agent provocateurs. Canada has an intelligence service, doesn’t it? At some point, Trudeau will turn his dark hats against the people with false flag events. Watch for it.
Listen to the awful, meandering, girlish, effeminate, overly dramatic cry fit Justin Trudeau displays in this video, in juxtaposition with what’s really happening. My God, how did that little girl get elected?
Wow. The Canadian government had better handle this extremely, extremely carefully. If they use force to stop an absolutely peaceful movement, they risk losing their legitimacy entirely. https://t.co/4UbrAvMlM4
Does it seem like what Trudeau said to you? No, not unless you’re a statist and communist and want to maintain power at all costs. But he doesn’t mind telling lies about other people.
Mortality worsened in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread vaccinations
A spike in Mortality among younger, working-age individuals coincided with vaccine mandates
The spike in younger deaths peaked in Q3 2021 when Covid deaths were extremely low (but rising into the end of September)
On Tuesday, financial insurance company Unum reported that their Life segment saw an increase of 9% in their ratio of payouts vs. premiums (Benefit ratio), a 17.4% increase in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread vaccinations, and a 13.3% increase over 2019.

On Wednesday, Dowd noted that funeral home company Carriage Services saw a 28% increase in September 2021 vs. 2020, and a 13% increase in August vs. the same period. Funerals and cremations are up 12% and 13% respectively on the quarter.
And no, it’s no from Covid deaths.
$UNM reported today in Life segment a Q4 increase of Benefit ratio of 9% y/y (payout vs premiums)
In 2021 they saw a 17.4% increase vs 2020. This is higher than the 13.3% increase vs 2019. So the higher payouts in 21 are occurring with a miracle vaccine & less virulent strains pic.twitter.com/3hO5QNslTa
$SCI saw +6.7% increase in quarter y/y as well…not same magnitude but trend is up. Stock was up 63% in 2021 as well. Business was good despite the “miracle” safe & effective vaccines. pic.twitter.com/ApylWxFIh3
No one on earth keeps closer track of probability and statistics and money that an actuarial working at an insurance company. No one. Without the actuarial, they go bankrupt
