Race Card

A black woman parks in a handicap spot without a permit. She has a warrant. She has no license. But the cop is picking on her because she is black.

Energy as a Weapon

Protesters using energy as a weapon:

Sonic energy: Screaming in your ear with a bullhorn, blowing a loud whistle inches from your ear, using canned air horns, etc.,

Laser energy: Shining lasers into people’s eyes

Should be treated like any other weapon, and it will be if it is done to me. Pepper spray at first, then more aggressive as they escalate. I am over this kind of crap.

Propaganda

Propublica is a leftist rag spending a lot of it’s binary ink bitching about guns. The issue I have is in how they deliberately frame and distort facts in order to advance their agenda. Case in point is this headline:

This Gun Shop Stayed Open Despite Repeated Violations. Then A Chicago Cop Was Killed With One Of Its Guns

So how did the gun wind up in the hands of a criminal? Olivia Burgos bought the 10mm Glock handgun from Range USA, in Merrillville, Indiana, on May 27, 2024, by lying on an ATF form about why she bought the gun, where she lived, and about her addiction to illegal drugs. She admitted to buying the gun for her boyfriend, who gave her the money for the gun and was a convicted felon who was not allowed to buy or possess firearms. It’s unknown how the gun made it from the boyfriend to the cop murdering criminal.

The story spins this into an indictment of the gun store itself, claiming that this one gun store had been cited for “serious compliance failures on multiple occasions” by the ATF. One thing that’s important to remember is the chain of stores in question have 50 locations in 14 different states. In other words, this isn’t a gun store, it’s 50 gun stores. There is no mention of just how many citations were issued, nor the severity of most of those issues. The ones that were mentioned are:

  • The Merrillville store faced revocation of its license following a 2022 inspection that determined a background check was missing for one sale. The ATF later rescinded the citation after the store provided proof that the background check had actually been conducted. In other words, not a violation.
  • In 2021 at the store in Dayton, the ATF determined an employee sold a firearm to a person who failed a background check, records show. Company representatives admitted to the agency that the employee had failed to follow store policy and “missed the appropriate connections” concerning illegal sales, despite training.
  • The next year in Lewis Center, an ATF inspector found that a sales clerk had falsified records of a gun sale after accepting an expired conceal-and-carry permit in lieu of conducting a background check

The cop killed that supposedly spawned this article? Yeah, the gun used in the April 26, 2026 murder was in fact sold by Range, USA. In 2024.

Authorities said Bartholomew and another officer transported robbery suspect Alphanso Talley to the hospital April 25 after he claimed to have swallowed narcotics. Prosecutors said Talley pulled a hidden handgun from beneath a blanket while preparing for a CT scan and opened fire on the officers before briefly escaping custody.

So how can you lay this at the feet of the gun store? How is a gun store to know that the woman buying a gun is not going to give it to her drug dealing boyfriend who will soon sell the gun on the black market before two years later, it eventually winds up in the hands of a murderer that kills a cop?

Everyone knows there is no way for the gun store to know this. That isn’t the point. This is being used as some sort of ‘gotya’ to a large firearms retailer. This retailer has 50 store locations- actually, they are each required to have their own FFL, so we are really talking about 50 separate gun stores. What is that? 100,000 guns per year in those 50 stores?

The insinuation of this article is that Range USA is somehow deliberately selling guns to criminals. They don’t come right out and say that, because it isn’t true and they would likely get sued for it. So instead they frame the facts in such a way as to encourage the reader to make that connection themselves. It’s one of the three ways to tell a lie, according to Robert Heinlein:

  • lie with a straight face; anybody with enough gall to raise on a busted flush can do that
  • The first way to lie artistically is to tell the truth — but not all of it.
  • The second way involves telling the truth, too, but is harder: Tell the exact truth and maybe all of it…but tell it so unconvincingly that your listener is sure you are lying.

In leaving out the important details, they are misrepresenting the facts, and this is a form of lying. If you have to lie in order to make your point, perhaps your point isn’t worth making.

Rights Are Privileges

in a hearing for the “Chud the Builder” case, DA Robert Nash said: “Dalton’s abuse of First Amendment privileges is what got us into this mess in the first place.”

Let’s paraphrase:

Sure, you have a 1st Amendment right to Free Speech, guaranteed by the US Constitution, but if someone attacks you because they don’t like your speech, that’s your fault, and if you defend yourself with the 2nd Amendment you belong in prison.

That’s the position being taken by the state of Tennessee. As more information comes to light, it appears as though Fox was the aggressor. He recognized Dalton (Chud) and decided to attack him because he previously used the words “nigger” and “chimp out”

As a result, the court lowered his bond from $1.25 million to “only” $1 million, but then ruled he is not permitted to use the money from a give, send, go campaign because those funds are the result of a criminal enterprise, since he wouldnt have gotten that money if he hadnt tried to murder Fox. Even if he DOES manage to find a donor, he cant be bailed out unless he can prove at a hearing that he didn’t receive the money as a result of his crime.

Uh, he hasn’t been convicted of a crime yet, meaning he is innocent. That being the case, how can these funds be the result of a crime the state hasn’t even proven yet?

What we have here is an attack on the First, Fifth, and Eighth Amendments by the State of Tennessee, and proving Dalton’s point- we have a rwo tiered justice system.

Under this theory, if a person ever says something which offends someone, that person is permitted to physically attack them at any place or time in the future, and if the person who is being attacked defends themselves, they can be denied any Constitutional rights a court sees fit to strip from them.

Or perhaps its only blacks you aren’t permitted to offend.

Remember, the left believes speech is violence if it offends someone.

Next Time

This man sued the police because he was arrested for posts celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.

I agree. The police went about it the wrong way. If you disagree with what someone has to say, just label it as hate speech and kick the crap out of them. The First Amendment doesn’t apply to anything labeled as hate speech, and if they defend themselves you can claim he started it with his hateful rhetoric and isn’t permitted to defend himself.

That’s My Policy

Oregon police say that grown men exposing themselves isn’t a crime unless they can establish that the man exposing himself is doing it for sexual gratification. The leftists there agree with him because a 2 year old won’t remember it, so no harm, no foul.

Here is my answer:

When the cops arrive on scene and there is a dead naked guy in my yard next to my child, and I am standing there saying he was trying to sexually molest my child, who are they to say I am wrong?
