Wow. A clarification from the dot.gov I agree with with.

New column at The Zelman Partisans:


ARs Are Not Machineguns
Gun Owners of America, Inc. v. Garland, GOA’s bump-fire stock case brought about an interesting development. The Department of Justice sent the court a letter in response to a request about the meaning of “can be readily restored to shoot.”


Edited to add: A couple of years ago, I got in an argument with a low-IQ lawyer who was convinced that the ATF had ruled that ARs are machineguns. If he wouldn’t take my word for it that they hadn’t, I wonder if he’ll believe the Department of Justice.

Supposedly Confirmed: Gropin’ Joe Is Not A Good Catholic

We only have dementia boy’s word for it, but given what a faith-train wreck this pope is, I’m willing to believe it.


“We just talked about the fact that he was happy that I was a good Catholic and to keep receiving communion,” Biden told reporters after his private meeting with the pope at the Vatican.


I don’t exactly support Satan, but even I have to admit that sliding the Antichrist into the papacy was a hell of a neat trick. When the Antichrist tells you that you’re a good Catholic, you should probably reexamine your life choices.

Quote Of The Day: Gain of Function

Seen at David Codrea’s War On Guns:


Since the media and the socialist democrats have been so successful in never condemning the “gain of function” research, we might do well in naming auto sears, drop in sears and such – ” gain of function devices.”

I can see a few problems with the new passports.

Funny that the State Department didn’t.


State Department Issues First Passport With ‘X’ Gender Marker–For The ‘Non-Binary, Intersex and Gender Non-Conforming’
The State Department announced today it has issued the first U.S. passport with an “X” gender designation, for people who say they are “non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming.”


I expect a few <strike<non-woke sane countries to refuse entry to schizophrenics carrying these X passports that don’t conform to ICAO passport standards.

“But we’re never going to learn about how safe this vaccine is unless you start giving it.”

That’s just the way it goes.

Funny, that’s what I thought Stage 1, 2, and 3 trials were for.

Michael Myers is homophobic?

Sounds to me like he’s all social-justicey nondiscriminitory.

‘Halloween’ villain Michael Myers accused of being ‘homophobic’ for killing gay couple in new movie
Michael Myers, the iconic Halloween series villain, is receiving flak not for being the psychopathic killer the world knows him as, but instead for being perceived as homophobic. The scene which has sparked criticism features Myers breaking into his childhood home. Spoiler alert: He found that a gay couple now lives there, and in usual Halloween fashion, murders them, according to Screen Geek.

Yeah, just try to cancel Michael Myers. He can’t be canceled. They’ve been trying for 43 years, through 13 movies.

An Explanation: They Panicked

The world is insane. Look around. CRT, transgenderism, election-fraud, riots, and mostly peaceful not-riot destruction… All this since around mid-Trump administration, prosecutor that don’t prosecute, judges that don’t convict, jails that don’t jail (sometimes because they need room to jail the non-criminals), censorship and not-censorship silencing, disease cases that aren’t cases, and vaccines that aren’t vaccines. How did the country go so insane so fast?

I’ll point fingers. (Sorry, this is sorta conspiracy land, just once). It’s perfectly obvious that for a long time closet-communist socialists want power. Look how public schools became public indoctrination centers, and you can see what and how they worked. Politically, whatever party label they wear is just a matter of convenience, though they most often register as Democrats.

These communist/socialists (it’s the same thing; socialism is only supposed to be a transition from capitalism to communism) either forgot or never grasped a key point. I’ll get to that.

I was never a Trump supporter, but I could hardly miss how popular he became, if only for some people because he at least wasn’t really part on the entrenched en-stenched mass swamp creature. The communists/socialists saw it, too.

And they responded by panicking. They feared that if Trump won again, and the Democrats, with whom they have a tendency to identify lost, in that backlash they lose their last chance at power. Suddenly, they had a deadline by wich to achieve their goals. They abandoned their decades-long incrementalism — boiling the frog slowly — and rushed everything at once.

Now they really face a potential backlash; one I fear could involve extensive casting of lead ballots.

I’ll now “circle back” to the key point they missed:

The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are not independent. L. Neil Smith called them the Boot On Your Neck Party (note the use of the singular). Others call it the Uniparty. If they aren’t monolithis, then they are at the very least incestuously interdependent, live in an eternal (Bog, I hope not) 69.

Dims seek power. They tend to use “social justice” pseudo-thinking to get through social bribery and restrictions on rights they don’t like.

Repugnantcans do the same thing for “law and order” and “big business.”

Reps gave us CALEA and the (un)PATRIOT(ic) Act.

Dims decried both as spying, but once back in power happily used those convenient abilities to spy on the “right” people.

Reps claim to like the Second Amendment, but it was Republican Trump who enabled the most victim-disarming gun control in decades, by having his ATF redefine “machinegun” and “trigger.”

Dims were really happy to grab that precedent and run with it. Just ask Rare Breed Triggers.

Dims screwed the nation with Obamacare.

Reps took control of the White House, Senate, and House by campaigning on “repeal Obamacare.” They didn’t.

All the current two-party clusterfuck does is give the gullible the — false — belief that they can “vote the bastards out.” Well, you can’t; to ensure that, both “parties” restrict “third” (second) party ballot access.

As I said, the communists/socialists never knew or forgot this. So when they feared losing the chance, they panicked. They pushed for everything right now. The 2020 election was another symptom of that.

And that push was a serious mistake. All things cannot come at once. There was one goal they had to achieve before the rest should be turned from simmer to high heat. They needed the population communications isolated from one another.

Or more accurately they needed the population to stop talking face to face, and only suing controlled social media. They needed to control the message. They needed people to trust social media. All that was in-process.

But they panicked. All things now. Including the social media censorship. Instead of sneaking up with the censorship, they went whole hog, and clamped down. Facebbok killed entire groups, Twitter made specifica ideas officially, formally, and publicly forbidden. All this when then were and are other options for people to interact beyond that control.

I was permanently suspended from Twitter for citing state law and evidence that indicated Kyle Rittenhouse acted in lawful self defense. But I had, and have, other options that give me the ability reach more people than Twitter did. I use them.

The communists/socialists may well achieve complete control of the elections, of Big Tech social media. They might control state legislatures, the House, the Senate, the White House.

That might control how several million now-angry people appear to vote. But they don’t control the lead votes. That’s — pun intended — one more gun they jumped. They should have waited until they had victim-disarmament perfected before losing their freaking minds. Disarmed people are at a disadvantage no matter how pissed. When we’re still armed…

Every day can become Roof-Top Election Day. Bullets are harder to censor than Twitter opinions.

Baldwin vs. Baldwin

Adam Baldwin — no relation to the Baldwin Bros — has a little advice for Alec.


He won’t take it, but there’s good advice out there for Alec now to man up, confess and throw himself on the mercy of the court (both legal & public opinion) and $ pay $ for his negligence/recklessness.


As for the folks who seem to be trying to shift all the blame for the shooting to the — obviously dipstick — “armorer”…


“In 40+ years no one’s ever handed me a firearm on set that wasn’t open and easily eyeballed by me personally as to its status, loaded or unloaded. Alec has experienced this same himself as a 40yr film veteran and producer. He was negligent, at best,” Adam continued.


That’s way it it’s done. Thank you, Adam.

But Alec Baldwin chose to ignore that, and trust — second hand, no less — an “armorer” who apparently thinks the way to check a gun’s condition is point it at one’s self to look at the front of it.

Alec Baldwin “Rust” Shooting

This whole fiasco just keeps getting worse and worse.


NEWS ALERT: Crew member who gave Baldwin firearm was fired from past job for CHILLING reason
“I can confirm that Dave Halls was fired from the set of ‘Freedom’s Path’ in 2019 after a crew member incurred a minor and temporary injury when a gun was unexpectedly discharged. Halls was removed from set immediately after the prop gun discharged. Production did not resume filming until Dave was off-site. An incident report was taken and filed at that time.”

Halls is reportedly the guy who picked up the prop gun and gave it to Baldwin, claiming it was a “cold gun.” This seems to suggest he’s done this before, though less lethally.

This gives me a great idea for an unscripted reality TV special. “Special” because it couldn’t last long enough for a mini-series, much less a whole season.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Dave Halls, and Alec Baldwin compete for a ten million dollar prize.

1. Gutierrez-Reed chooses three guns from a random selection of semi-autos and revolvers. Unobserved by the otjer two, she “prepares” them for use.

2. Halls then chooses three guns from the “prepared” firearms, and gives one each to Gutierrez-Reed and Baldwin, keeping the third for himself.

3. All three sit in a circle, and point their firearms at the head of the person to their right. On a signal they pull the their triggers.

The survivors repeat step three until one survivor remains (or they all killed each other).

Winner takes all. If all die, the $10M prize goes to a selected charity benefiting the mentally retarded.
