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.

My son Joseph was home from Austin, Texas, for the week. It was an active week, including hiking Mount Mitchell. We were socked in during the hike in.
On the way out it was a hard driving storm, with the trail turned into a treacherous river.
The weather was beautiful today, and I biked Lake James State Park mountain trails. These two trees give about two inches of clearance on each side for handlebars.
Of course, that’s just about true of the entire Wimba trail with its undulations, turns and switchbacks. You’d better aim true and hit your marks, or you’re liable to get hurt.
Under a bill in the legislature, elected officials in Ohio could take hidden guns into government facilities where other people are banned from carrying weapons.
Rep. Nino Vitale said House Bill 310, which he introduced this week, is intended as a self-defense measure for elected officials.
“The political climate is unfortunately extremely extreme,” the Urbana Republican said. “There are a lot of places in government where we’re simply not protected.”
Vitale cited the shooting last month at a congressional baseball practice in Virginia as an example of the heightened threats against lawmakers. Vitale said he has been threatened, called names and followed from the Statehouse.
Vitale, a concealed-carry trainer, said the measure would apply only to elected officials who have a concealed-carry permit.
He said his legislation might contribute to civil discourse.
“If someone knows someone can defend themselves, they might keep their rhetoric at an acceptable level,” Vitale said.
But even some gun-rights advocates argue that the legislation would create a special class of concealed-carry permit holders by allowing elected state and local officials to carry guns on government property while other citizens are prohibited from doing so.
Jim Irvine, executive director of the Buckeye Firearms Association, questioned what makes lawmakers more deserving of expanded concealed-carry rights. His organization is reviewing the legislation before taking a formal position.
I don’t have to see the legislation and I can take a formal position right now. If the legislation exempts only elected officials and not everyone, then kill it. I oppose it in all its forms, for all time, and in any manifestation.
Via WRSA, this video from Dr. Bill Warner is absolutely essential education.
This is why I have been telling the naïve, pathetic Christians that they need to “gun up” and develop an intellectual framework for violence. If you don’t, your wives will watch them behead you and then be raped, your daughters will be sold into slavery, your sons will become part of the global jihad, and your wealth will be scattered to the four winds.
We’ve covered much of this in our discussions on the deep state, but Matt brings it all together in a short, concise and informative format. It’s worth listening to all of this. As for Andrew McCabe and James Comey, they have been instigators, ring leaders and strong arms for the deep state virtually their entire careers.
The Pentagon nearly gave over $1 million worth of rifles, pipe bombs and other military hardware to a fake police department — set up as part of a government watchdog’s sting operation, a new report reveals.
Using cloak-and-dagger tactics, auditors from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) created a nonexistent police department. They submitted requests to purchase from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) “controlled properties” like simulated pipe bombs, night-vision goggles, and explosive ordnance detonation robots.
“In less than a week after submitting the requests, our fictitious agency was approved for the transfer of over 100 controlled property items with a total estimated value of about $1.2 million,” the GAO said in a July 18 report.
The sting operation involved government auditors creating a website describing the fake agency and using publicly available resources to produce false police credentials.
“Personnel at two of the three sites did not request or check for valid identification of our investigator picking up the property,” the GAO said.
In its reponse to the findings, DOD concurred with four recommendations made by GAO and highlighted steps it was taking to improve internal controls and implement recommendations from past audits.
At no point during the application process did Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) staff speak with officials at the fake agency to verify the legitimacy of the application, according to the report. All authorizations were done via email.
I have a better idea. Let’s not give any police any military weaponry or ordnance at all, ever. For any reason under the sun. Under any circumstances.
I would choose to get rid of the agency. As the pricks walk out the door arrest every single one of them, everyone including pissy secretaries, readers, do nothings, mail clerks, janitors, every single living human being even remotely associated with that agency. Hold them all in jail and question every single one of them and if anyone is implicated in a seditious, treasonous or criminal offense prosecute and complete the execution by public hanging. Next burn the buildings down and grind the rubble to dust.
That is how you drain the swamp. When this is done move on to the next 3 letter agency.
In addition to being a tasty beverage, Coca-Cola is indeed a good choice for cleaning rust if there are no purpose made cleaners available, thanks to its mild acidity and carbonation. “Every three days I and my gun – I call it “grinder” – every three days, I clean it. If I shot it, if I did not shoot it – does not matter. Gun is sacred,” Yuzkovich said in the video. “What is a gun? It’s not a wife, it’s a lover. The wife will bear with it, the lover – whew, and she is gone. The same is with the guns. We use everything: toothpicks, ear picks, toothbrushes. Reaching everywhere we can. Dirt, everything is cleaned off. Some people said we used sand or something, it’s nonsense.”
Hmm … sounds like a good way to cause acid-induced stress corrosion cracking to me.
… the spooks are warning Pompeo not to get too uppity in draining the John Brennan swamp. The last pol who tried to grapple with the Agency was Porter Goss, and look what happened to him.
Hence, all the more reason that swamp must be drained. Off hand, I’d say firing every last one of them and restaffing with new personnel would be a good start.
The CIA is filled with ne’er-do-wells, statists, self-aggrandizing control freaks and criminals. Get rid of them, or get rid of the agency. They are nothing more than an organ of state control anyway.
President Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will not “accept or allow” transgender people in the United States military, saying American forces “must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory” and could not afford to accommodate them.
Mr. Trump made the surprise declaration in a series of posts on Twitter, saying he had come to the decision after talking to generals and military experts, whom he did not name.
“After consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. military,” Mr. Trump wrote. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”
The sweeping policy decision reverses the gradual transformation of the military under President Barack Obama, whose administration announced last year that transgender people could serve openly in the military. Mr. Obama’s defense secretary, Ashton B. Carter, also opened all combat roles to women and appointed the first openly gay Army secretary.
Note how he has couched this – very smartly, in my opinion. We cannot afford to accommodate them.
That’s how the Marine Corps sees everything. If you come into the Marines left-eye dominate, they put a patch over your left eye (for a while) and reprogram you to be right-eye dominate. I know this because my son did this to his “boots” who were left eye-dominate.
They don’t even accept left handed shooting. They value sameness and likeness above everything. Everything. If you don’t like that, then go find your warfighting capabilities somewhere else. There’s a right way to do this, and the Marine Corps has found it.
Most people find the shooting death of an unarmed yoga instructor by Minneapolis police to be incomprehensible. But some cops on patrol say the circumstances of the shooting, an officer poised to fire in the dark from a car seat, aren’t uncommon. And some experts say they aren’t surprised to hear that police officers are responding to seemingly routine calls with their guns drawn. (MPR News)
Before Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor shot Justine Ruszczyk through the open driver’s side window of his squad car, a woman had approached the back of the patrol car and “slapped” it, according to a court document filed Monday. A search warrant was filed by Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators to look at the area where the shooting happened and gather evidence as part of the investigation. “Upon police arrival, a female ‘slaps’ the back of the patrol squad,” according to the search warrant. “After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley.” (MPR News)
Well hell, that clears it all up for me. She “slapped” the car. I hate it when that happens to me. I remember the last time I shot someone for slapping my car.
And it’s good to know that she simply “became deceased.” I had thought she was murdered by a Muslim thug affirmative action hire.
