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.

I try to take things like this with a grain of salt. William Barr was going to turn the light on the deep state and make the cockroaches scatter. As it turns out, Barr is likely part of the deep state.
Durham’s investigation was going to send the guilty to prison, and as it turns out, the entire investigation was shut down with a whimper because they fear backlash from an incoming Biden administration.
Trump was going to rid America of the deep state, and as it turns out, he might be its greatest victim.
Trump had four years to see what was happening with the voting scam, and failed to shut it down before it put him out of office. He left Comey and McCabe in charge of the FBI, and then Chris Wray (good Lord). He left Mattis in charge of the DoD, he put Jeff Sessions in charge of the DoJ, he allowed Kelly to direct the WH staff for far too long, he allowed Reince Priebus to direct affairs of the WH, and he spent his time on Twitter, empowering Jack Dorsey. Not even to mention the role of McMaster, another deep state guy.
This failure is on Trump. I hope that this goes to the SCOTUS and that Biden doesn’t take control of the executive branch, and that the servers were confiscated and turn up the full story of what happened.
But if not, the finger of blame cannot be pointed at powerless citizens to do the work of the chief executive.
I took one of my sons to the range last week (specifically, Foothills Shooting Complex in N.C.), and because of Governor Cooper’s orders, we were required to wear masks at all times outside the shooting stall, even outdoors.
We were no doubt breathing lead and copper, but they claim they want to protect us from a virus with a diameter of 80 nm with a piece of cotton cloth.
Because Roy Cooper is a jackass.
But then so is his wife. By the way, they soften her “apology” and fail to point out that over Twitter, she admitted to making an obscene gesture at children, but said that she could live with it.
They are some of the worst people in politics, and that’s saying something.
This isn’t just a matter of a few people missing out on a few weeks of work. CNBC host Jim Cramer has noted that the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic led to one of the biggest wealth transfers in all of American history. Wall Street cleaned up at the expense of Main Street.
Of course, this was the goal of it all, just as will be the goal of the “Great Reset.” It is to impoverish the middle class, and enrich the already wealthy. They hate the middle class.
As for masks, I’ve explain before many times that you may as well try to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.
The filter fibers leave too much open space to capture a particle the size of a virus (80 – 120 nm) by interception, and the virus is non-polar, so electrostatic attraction to the fibers isn’t an effective means of filtration.
On the other hand, you can certainly deprive your brain of oxygen by wearing a mask. One other thing that can be accomplished is to make children even more ignorant.
School is out. If you think learning is happening at home, you’re naive. Children in my neighborhood are majoring in learning to ride skateboards when they ought to be learning to construct meaningful sentences, calculus and physics.
It’s almost as if they want to create an entire generation of stupid factory workers, perpetually behind the Chinese and Japanese children, yes?
In his new article, however, Mattis says the opposite, calling for the “end of America First”:
The United States today is undermining the foundations of an international order manifestly advantageous to U.S. interests, reflecting a basic ignorance of the extent to which both robust alliances and international institutions provide vital strategic depth. In practice, “America first” has meant “America alone.” That has damaged the country’s ability to address problems before they reach U.S. territory and has thus compounded the danger emergent threats pose.
…
In January, when President Joe Biden and his national security team begin to reevaluate U.S. foreign policy, we hope they will quickly revise the national security strategy to eliminate “America first” from its contents, restoring in its place the commitment to cooperative security that has served the United States so well for decades. The best strategy for ensuring safety and prosperity is to buttress American military strength with enhanced civilian tools and a restored network of solid alliances—both necessary to achieving defense in depth. The pandemic should serve as a reminder of what grief ensues when we wait for problems to come to us.
As coauthor with three other writers in a Nov. 23 Foreign Affairs column, Mattis did not mention that he works for the The Cohen Group consulting firm. Nor did he challenge China’s tough talk against U.S. policies regarding Taiwan, nor the strict economic retaliation Beijing levied against Australia.

The Cohen Group is run by another former Defense Secretary. William Cohen, who has been involved with China since 1978, when he went there to meet with Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, according to the organization.
So he’s deep state then, like most of the other generals. Fire all the generals and start over completely.
But doesn’t the notion of a “buyback” sort of imply it was purchased from the government to begin with? And if it’s mandatory, is it really a “buyback?”
Boy the fraudster has some ringers lined up for his staff, including, by the way, Michele Flournoy for secretary of defense. I know I still have some military readers. If I were you, I’d get out of the military as soon as possible.
You know they’ll have you involved in foreign misadventures servicing the interests of the globalists. Do you really want to die for their interests?
What a goober. Every second grader knows how to pronounce the word Psalm (second grade at the latest).
The man is a colossal embarrassment. If it weren’t for the awful things he and his administration will do over the next four years, I’d almost wish he was elected for the sake of having something to lampoon.
IUKA, Miss. — Authorities in Mississippi said a North Carolina teen died when his hunting stand turned and he fell onto his rifle barrel.
A local media outlet reported that Tishomingo County coroner Mack Wilemon identified the teen as 17-year-old Justin Lee Smith of Brunswick County, North Carolina.
He said Smith was in a ladder stand Saturday afternoon in the northwest part of the county near the Alcorn County line.
According to Wilemon, the stand apparently turned to one side and Smith fell 10 feet onto the rifle barrel and was impaled.
He said Smith was able to call 911 on his cellphone but died shortly afterward.
This is what happens when you don’t use a lanyard / safety rope with a prusik knot.
