This person was a United States Congresswoman for ten years.

I haven’t seen a single Democrat she served with be asked to condemn her or be counted and one of allies after the fact.

I won’t hold my breath and wait for that to happen.

I’m gonna buy some more ammo.

“I need 50 tons of cheese, 100 tons of bread, and several pallets of Dixie cups.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the very first patch I designed and will sell as a Gun Free Zone fundraiser.

It’s inspired by the topic of several posts about pelvic shots on armored targets and a response on Twitter.

It’s a standard 3.5 inch round patch, embroidered, with a hook velcro backing.

They will be $10 each or $8 for three or more, plus $3 flat rate shipping in a bubble mailer.

Our first order is for 200 patches.  If we sell out fast (and I hope we do), I’ll order more.

It would be great if you could help support our blog and keep us going.

AWA will be setting up the storefront, we’ll start taking orders soon.

From everyone here at the GFZ, thank you.

H/T: my lovely wife for doing the art.

If there is one thing that we at GFZ all agree on, it is that child molesters are despicable and should be dispatched with as much pain to them as possible. For all the media’s yelling about how many women are sexually assaulted, it seems pretty hard to say “not all men”. It is also incredibly disheartening to read that many, if not most, of the people incarcerated for violent crimes were themselves the victims of child abuse.

Some of the statistics that we are given don’t pass the sniff test. “1 in 4 women will be raped while in collage.” That may be true, but it is unlikely. If it was true, it means that sending your daughter to collage is more likely to get her raped than sending her to some third world shitholes.

That particular number comes from a bogus study which I’m not going to look up. Short story from memory, the study was done at a community collage with many of the women reporting having been raped not living on campus and often times having been raped before coming to collage. I.e., many of the self reported victims were older women.

I have a “paladin complex”. That is, I have a tendency to attempt to rescue people. It is how I ended up with my first wife. She needed me to rescue her. During our time together, I learned that she had been abused by her father as she was growing up.

She wasn’t sure it was real or just a bad/fake memory. When our 3-year-old daughter told us that grandpa redacted had her touch him inappropriately, we took it seriously. A licensed therapist that specialized in young children did the evaluation.

One would hope they did and were true to their oath, but a tweet reply may hold the hold the real answer.

I was unaware of this, but it indeed happened.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signed a law Wednesday that eliminates a legal defense known as qualified immunity, making it easier to sue government employees, including police officers, for civil rights violations.

Why it matters: New Mexico is now the third state to eliminate qualified immunity as a national debate unfolds on legal protections for police officers sparked by the 2020 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

And now the reply from the sheriff of Bernarlillo County against enforcing the order makes 100% sense:

However, as the elected Sheriff, I have reservations regarding this order. While I understand and appreciate the urgency, the temporary ban challenges the foundation of our Constitution, which I swore an oath to uphold. I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts, as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.

This I believe is a more accurate assessment of what and why happened and also a delightful dose of schadenfreude.

I am still angry.

It’s an absolute trend of anti-gunners explaining that you shouldn’t have a gun, because if they had a gun, they would commit murder.

To a reasonable and intelligent human, it’s simple.

Is the AR-15 slung and not being pointed at anyone?

That’s fine then.

Same with open carry.  Is the pistol still in its holster?

Fine, go on about your day.

These people are paranoid and lack self control, so will straight up murder you.  Because they can’t trust themselves, they can’t trust you, and therefore nobody should get to carry.

If gun people were an iota as violent and stupid as anti-gunners, everyone in America would be dead. The fact that concealed carry permit holders are the demographic least likely to commit crimes, shows that we’re not.
