Everytown for Gun Safety’s Stunning Hypocrisy
Evergreen State gun rights activists are stunned at what appears to be hypocrisy of anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, which sent out a pair of emails in recent days, one complaining about the National Rifle Association’s ability to raise $1 million in June, and the other reminding recipients about the $60 million it plans to spend to help elect “gun sense candidates.” Continue reading “”

SIG SAUER Will Sell P320 Custom Works Fire Control Units and Roll Out the ‘P320 Collective’
As SIG SAUER’s Chief Marketing Officer, Tom Taylor, told a room full of gun writers, accessory makers and even a few competitors last week, the New Hampshire gun maker wants their modular P320 to be thought of in the same way as the 1911 and the AR-15. They want it to be a “universal” platform around which revolves scores of parts, accessories and add-ons made by custom shops and parts makers all around the country.
That’s why SIG has decided to sell P320 Custom Works fire control units as a stand-alone item beginning the first of October. Continue reading “”

After 59 Days of Riots in Portland, ABC Claims ‘Weeks’ Since Protests Were Violence.
As NewsBusters has extensively documented, the broadcast newscasts have done everything they could to downplay and cover-up the extreme leftist violence at protests happening in cities across the country. But during ABC’s Good Morning America on Sunday, the network, via correspondent Janai Norman, attempted some revisionist history, claiming it had been “weeks” since protests had turned violent.
Norman’s lie came just as she was wrapping up her report, falsely telling viewers: “And no one seriously injured in that shooting at that protest in Colorado. But it’s been weeks we have seen protests like these turn violent in multiple cities around the country, as we have this weekend.”
Not only has it not been “weeks” since protests turned violent, but it also hasn’t been “weeks” since there has been protest-linked violence in multiple cities at the same time.
“Now to the violent protests breaking out overnight in some cities across America, one of them turning deadly and in another, authorities firing off tear gas,” announced co-anchor Eva Pilgrim, rhetorically clutching her pearls. Continue reading “”
No victory is secured by kneeling to the Enemy.

FROM THE PASTOR
As a psychosis, “self-mutilation syndrome” is rooted in self-loathing and obsessive-compulsive behavior. Whole cultures can be afflicted with a similar compulsion to injure themselves. Nowadays it is called a “cancel culture.” To topple statues and burn churches is a metaphor for self-loathing rather than reason.
In their modern aesthetic recklessness, nations begin to disdain what Matthew Arnold called “the best which has been thought and said.” Even people who do not read much still can see much, and they can see that destruction of great buildings is the grammar of self-mutilation.
There was a sigh of relief when the French government announced that the cathedral of Paris would be restored exactly as it had been. But you need only look at some recent architectural horrors, like the Centre Pompidou, to appreciate that the preservation of Notre Dame was a close call. Consider the 1925 Plan Voisin of Le Corbusier for replacing central Paris with buildings that looked like refrigerators, to see the fabric of a society without a soul.
The burning of the cathedral of Nantes was reported with practically no mention of the winter of 1793-1794, when over 14,000 Catholic counterrevolutionaries were slaughtered in that region. Jean-Baptiste Carrier, the sadistic officer of the Revolution, mocked his own name by drowning more than four thousand priests, nuns, mothers and infants in boats designed for what he called “Revolutionary Baptisms.”
At the same time, another Jean-Baptiste, Gobel, was made Archbishop of Paris in place of Antoine de Juigné, provided he “take the knee” to the Revolution.
All atheistic revolutionaries kill their fomenters: Just as the architect of the Terror, Robespierre, was guillotined by his Terror, so were Carrier and Gobel. In a kind of cultural doppelganger today, writers for our most “liberal” periodicals are being fired for not being pure enough for the anarchists who have made their moral impurity into a religion.
Since the late 1960s, disciples of Le Corbusier among the liturgical “wreckovaters” denuded churches as arrogantly as the cults of theanthropy in the French Revolution. Convents subscribing to ephemeral “renewal” have now become nursing homes for women who once thought that labyrinths could be stairways to Heaven.
We are now in a spiritual combat as monumental as World II. In 1944, when the Nazis demanded that the Americans surrender during the Battle of the Bulge, Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe replied, “Nuts!” The vernacularism was unfamiliar to the Germans, and so another message was sent: “Du kannst zum Teufel gehen.”—You can go to the Devil.
No victory is secured by kneeling to the Enemy. Those who do, will be the next in line for the guillotine. The Holy Church has the best translation for “Nuts” when proclaimed in defiance of the Anti-Christ: “I believe in God, the Father Almighty…”
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Father George W. Rutler

The Right Of Self-Defense Is Under Attack
We knew the Second Amendment was under severe attack, but now even the right of self-defense is under serious attack.
Politicians who support efforts to reduce “gun violence” are truly after every gun owner. Mob violence is running amuck; truly hardened criminals are running around masquerading as protestors, and those that should be standing guard for the law-abiding citizens are enabling criminals. And in many places the police have been neutered.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, two attorneys who live on Portland Place Drive, a private street in St. Louis, MO, were videotaped last month defending their home with two firearms. A mob broke through the private gate separating Portland Place Drive from the public street were shouting obscenities and trespassing upon the McCloskey’s property. Fearing for their lives the couple called the St Louis police department who never responded. According to the St. Louis Dispatch:
“To access Portland Place, the crowd entered through an iron pedestrian gate. The McCloskeys told police the protesters broke the gate to get in. St. Louis police said the couple had called police for help once they saw the large crowd enter Portland Place. The McCloskeys had been at home and heard a loud commotion coming from the street; they went to investigate and saw “a large group of subjects forcefully break an iron gate marked with ‘No Trespassing’ and ‘Private Street’ signs,” police said. “The group began yelling obscenities and threats of harm to both victims. When the victims observed multiple subjects who were armed, they then armed themselves and contacted police.”
A video showing the McCloskey’s defending themselves and their property has been shown and reviewed on YouTube, Facebook, and most national as well as Missouri television channels. They have been interviewed by local media as well as Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, and Shawn Hannity as well as pro-Second Amendment blogger and author Dana Loesch.
However, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner (she is what would in other states be called a District Attorney) has in a series of very public actions targeted the McCloskeys. On June 29 she said, “we will not tolerate the use of force against this exercising their First Amendment rights, and we will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable.” Then she sent the St. Louis police department, the same department that did not respond to 911 calls, to seize the McCloskeys’ firearms and finally on July 20, she charged each one with a felony count of unlawful use of a weapon. As most our readers are well aware a felony conviction is an automatic disbarment from owning firearms.
All these actions have nothing have nothing to do with rights of the McCloskeys. It is all political and has to do with Gardner making a statement in advance of the St. Louis primary election slated for August 4. But more importantly it is the opening barrage of a political attack against gun owners’ who use self-defense as the basic underpinning of the Second Amendment. Continue reading “”
It’s a problem if they bring along their big city proggie politics
Big City Exodus: What That May Mean For Gun Rights
As things currently stand, there are assumptions you can make about people’s gun politics based on where they live. For example, if they live in a large city, they’re more likely to be anti-gun. By contrast, those in rural American tend to support the Second Amendment.
This is a generalization, of course. There are pro-gun folks in big cities and anti-gun folks in small communities. However, for the most part, these generalizations are accurate based on how people tend to vote in these places.
Yet something odd is taking place. It seems many in our large cities are bailing for the country life.
Is Anarchy the ‘New Normal’ in the Pac. Northwest? Is It Coming to You?
If this continues in the Pacific Northwest, will it spread to other regions? That’s a question on several minds as the region has become something of a petri dish for the far left to experiment with things like local socialism, gun control extremism and tax-and-spend politics, according to critics.

Eating chocolate weekly cuts risk of heart disease, study says.
There is good news for chocoholics, who can cut the risk of heart disease by indulging at least once a week, according to new research.
A study of 336,289 people found that consuming chocolate more than once a week reduced the risk of developing coronary heart disease by 8 percent when compared to those who eat it less frequently, the Standard reported.
“Our study suggests that chocolate helps keep the heart’s blood vessels healthy,” said the study’s author, Dr. Chayakrit Krittanawong of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
The researchers combined six studies to study the link between chocolate consumption and coronary heart disease, a condition in which the arteries become blocked by a build-up of fatty substances.
They said nutrients in chocolate — including flavonoids, methylxanthines, polyphenols and stearic acid — may reduce inflammation and increase good cholesterol. Continue reading “”

The Media Can’t Stop Misleading on Guns
At this point, there is simply no excuse for it.
With the possible exception of religion, there is no issue in American political life that is as poorly covered as guns. At RealClearPolitics, John Lott reports that legacy media outlets often quite literally allow anti–Second Amendment activists to write their news stories on gun policy. Politico hasn’t quite done that today, but . . . well, I’m not sure having reporters dutifully repackaging Everytown USA press releases is any better.
Politico’s piece is headlined “Blocked gun sales skyrocket amid coronavirus pandemic.” I have been curious to find out how the anti–Second Amendment crowd would spin the recent spike in gun sales — which has been especially concentrated among new owners and women — and I now have my answer:
Internal FBI data reveal a jarring new stat: The number of people trying to buy guns who can’t legally own them has skyrocketed. That came as part of a surge in gun purchases in the first three months of 2020, compared to the same time period in 2019. And the change has raised concerns about gun safety.
Reporters who lard up their pieces with adjectives such as “jarring,” “massive,” “whopping,” and “raised concerns” are usually trying to convince readers of something that isn’t true. And so it is here. Indeed, all this Politico piece tells us is that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System is working exactly as intended. Continue reading “”
The Back-Up Gun: 3 Reasons To Carry One
While perusing various online sources of gun-related news and information, I’ve noticed an old term cropping up that I haven’t seen in a long time: The New York Reload.
This term was brought into circulation by Massad Ayoob many years ago after learning that officers of the NYPD Stakeout Unit of the time, who were armed primarily with double-action revolvers, often moved to a second (or third) wheelgun when the ammunition was exhausted in their primary firearm.
Here are just a few of the arguments in favor of back-up guns for home defense and concealed carry:
1. The first gun goes click instead of bang.
Despite our best efforts to purchase firearms from reputable manufacturers, load them with quality ammunition, and keep them in proper working order, firearms can still fail to operate properly at the most inconvenient times.
2. A primary defensive gun is not accessible.
This is especially true in concealed-carry situations. By the time a defensive situation calls for a handgun to be drawn, the dominant shooting hand might be injured or occupied holding an attacker at bay. It’s also possible for a primary gun to be dropped, knocked away, or you may be in a wrestling match with an assailant to maintain control of your gun.
3. Additional guns can be used to arm other responsible adults.
I can’t help but roll my eyes when watching some silly movie in which a man pulls out a handgun as he goes to investigate a noise in the night leaving his poor, helpless wife all alone with nothing but a good set of vocal chords to defend herself. Those Hollywood writers obviously haven’t met the women I know.
Exited their car and just walked in through the front door? Did they bust it in, or did they simply walk in because the homeowner didn’t lock the door or – at least – the screen door?
Good grief people, articulating some facts can make a difference.
Resident shoots suspect during home invasion in Pueblo
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) — The Pueblo Police Department is investigating a reported home invasion in which at least one of the three suspects was shot.
Around 12:15 a.m. Thursday, police were dispatched to the 700 block of Box Elder Street for a reported home invasion.
The two residents told officers that a white car pulled up and parked in front of the home. Three men exited the vehicle and entered the home through the front door. A physical altercation followed and one of the residents fired a handgun at the intruders. The three intruders quickly left and the residents said they believe that two of the three suspects were hit by the gunfire.
Shortly after, a 39-year-old man arrived to a hospital with two non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Police say they believe the man is one of the suspects during the home invasion.
One of the other suspects is described as a bald Hispanic male with a cleft lip, according to Pueblo Police. He was wearing a white basketball jersey with red trim, and he had chest tattoos. The third unknown intruder was described as an older Hispanic man, 6’5″ tall and about 230 pounds. He had grey hair and no facial hair. Police say one of these two intruders may have also been shot during the invasion.
Detectives are still investigating and no arrests have been made as of this article’s writing.
