Professor David Yamane at Gun Culture 2.0 - Proving a Basic Books Editor Wrong One Purchase at a Time

Seeing his embrace of Andrew McKevitt’s project and now having read Gun Country makes it clear (to me, at least) that [Brandon] Proia’s feeling of being “perplexed about the politics of it all” is really just him not agreeing with a politics of guns that does not hew to The Master Narrative of Democracy-Destroying Right-Wing Gun Culture as McKevitt’s does. [Proia was one of 33 editors to pass on Prof. Yamane's new book.]

Flopping Aces - The Trump persecution is the standard for how dems will use lawfare as a means to eliminate political opposition

Imagine your complete personal financial destruction. All it takes is a deranged District Attorney and a deranged judge who hold a different political view, i.e. the democrat view.

David Codrea at Ammoland - Toronto Police Advise Citizens Preemptively Surrender to Thieves to Avoid Being Hurt or Killed

That’s consistent with the “Just give them what they want” mantra repeated by “Only Ones” and gun prohibitionists here, who never seem able to answer the question, “What if what they want is your life?” We could cite all kinds of examples where victims complied with all orders given by violent predators only to end up helpless to prevent their own executions.
