#2A – Americans are revolting against ineffective ‘woke’ public safety policies

(Washington Times) – Americans have been sending lawmakers at all levels an unmistakable message that they are losing patience with an entrenched political class that looks increasingly like overlords instead of public servants.

Although some politicians seem to be responding to the rising public clamor for change, there will be no serious attempts at reform until the voters back it up with consequences.

Unlike our amazingly out-of-touch elites, many Americans are worried about crime, the astounding and unprecedented increase in illegal immigration under President Biden, the explosive increase in homelessness in major cities, the cracks in the supposedly fabulous economy, an observed decline in moral values, and other issues.

Among the most vivid examples of this collapse into chaos are, of course, big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, which have become hellscapes.

Crime is rampant in these places; homelessness is endemic; mentally disturbed people are living in appalling conditions on the streets and leaving unsightly, horrific-smelling detritus everywhere; drug abusers are self-medicating into oblivion on the streets and sidewalks and in doorways, alleys and parks, and increasingly on private property; commuters and pedestrians are regularly subjected to random, sometimes fatal attacks; the streets are in…

#2A – This Is Why They’re Supposed to READ the Bills! A New Red Flag Center Is for ‘Dangerous’ Gun Owners (Like You!)

Biden’s Big FU to Normal Americans: A Red Flag Center for ‘Dangerous’ Gun Owners (You)

(PJ Media) – Joe Biden apparently thinks he isn’t going to make it to a second term. On Saturday, his attorney general announced a new resource program for Red Flag laws across America that will go on long after Biden is no longer in the White House.

Congressman Thomas Massie sounded the alarm, asking: “What the hell is this evil? A Federal Red Flag center; We did not authorize this. Announced, of course, just hours after the omnibus passes.”

We don’t know at this point that such a program was contained in the omnibus bill, in part, because so many people were trying to access it online and the site was down, and nobody read it and alerted Americans. But Massie states that Congress didn’t approve this.

The Firearms Policy Coalition believes that the underpinnings for this “resource center” were approved in the “2022 Bipartisan ‘Safer Communities’ Act.”

The DOJ writes in a press release that the Red Flag resource center will “support states, local governments, law enforcement, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service providers, and behavioral health and other social service providers in their efforts to implement ERPO programs to fit local needs, share resources and promising practices with the field.”… (Like in Little Rock last week??? – DD)

#2A – Gun Control and the Ballistic Blame-Shifting Syndrome

Help Dixie Defeat Big-Tech Censorship! Spread the Word! Like, Share, Re-Post, and Subscribe! There’s a lot more to see at our main page, Dixie Drudge!

(The Dissenter) – There exists a curious mental phenomenon among modern peoples in general and modern Americans in particular. Even some who profess the name of Christ display this same intellectual oddity.

It is the for them, seemingly insurmountable tendency to shift individual culpability for personal sins either to the environment in which they live or in the case of today’s topic, to a morally neutral inanimate object. We’ll call it “ballistic blame shifting syndrome.”

Meet the “Forgotten Winchester.”

The forgotten Winchester is a model 1873 lever action utility rifle, chambered in the 44-40 caliber cartridge. The gun that won the west. Its serial number indicates that this specimen was manufactured in 1882. What makes this well-known and once very common firearm unique is that in 2014 it was discovered resting upright against an old juniper tree in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park.

The condition of the wood furniture and steel components, along with the fact that the butt stock had naturally sunken several inches into the soil beneath it, indicated that it had been mysteriously abandoned there around the turn of the 20th century and had been sitting untouched ever since.

For those suffering from “ballistic blame shifting syndrome,” the greatest mystery of all would seem to be how, in the name of all that’s sensible and right, this gun has managed not to kill anybody in the last hundred years.

It is after all an instrument of carnage and destruction, responsible for untold numbers of brutal and senseless deaths. Can it really be true that this evil and depraved mechanism of murder has failed to…

Anti-Gun Democrats and VA Seek to Undermine Law Passed to Protect Veterans’ Rights

Help Dixie Defeat Big-Tech Censorship! Spread the Word! Like, Share, Re-Post, and Subscribe! There’s a lot more to see at our main page, Dixie Drudge!

(AmmoLand) – Last week we reported on a major breakthrough on behalf of veterans who risked losing their Second Amendment rights because of a long-running scheme by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to report certain beneficiaries to the federal background check database as prohibited “mental defectives.”

As we noted, a rider in the “minibus” appropriations package to fund various federal agencies prohibits use of funds for such reporting unless a judge has found the veteran to be a danger to self or others. Despite the provision having been openly negotiated, passed with bi-partisan support, and signed into law by Joe Biden, a partisan coalition of anti-gun Congressional Democrats – all but two of whom actually voted for the spending package – is now leaning on the VA to ignore or undermine the rider. In doing so, they are using the usual anti-gun tactics of fearmongering, misinformation, and gaslighting.

The attempt came in a March 13 letter spearheaded by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA), chairman of the so-called House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, to the Secretary of the VA, Denis McDonough, and was signed by 138 Democrat members of Congress. Incredibly, Thompson had bragged of signing the minibus package and securing funding for various projects in his District only one week earlier. Such is the inexhaustible hypocrisy of politicians who not only refuse to be accountable for their own votes, but who then demand others to cover their political tracks.

The claims in the letter, unsurprisingly, do not hold up to scrutiny and in some cases actually lend support to…

#2A – New York’s Martial Law Fails As Disarmed Citizens Risk Their Lives Just to Ride Subway

Help Dixie Defeat Big-Tech Censorship! Spread the Word! Like, Share, Re-Post, and Subscribe! There’s a lot more to see at our main page, Dixie Drudge!

(AmmoLand) – New York Democrats are making New York City the most dangerous place on earth. The city subways have become a cesspool of crime and violence. While Governor Hochul seems to be insistent on creating a victim/predator society by keeping law-abiding citizens unarmed and helpless in the Big Apple, violent criminals are running wild.

There has already been much controversy over Kathy Hochul’s new subway policy, which puts military personnel at subway checkpoints. Most people are saying this is government overreach and an unnecessary power grab by New York officials. The controversial Governor claims that because crime has reached such high levels, she is forced to bring in the military. This appears to be nothing more than a tactic to avoid actually fixing the problem of crime and mental instability in New York City. In typical Democrat fashion, New York officials are perpetuating a problem so they can create a solution that suits them politically.

Recently, 36-year-old Dajuan Robinson entered the subway without paying his fare, entered a crowded subway car, and created a chaotic event while ultimately pulling a gun on a passenger. But wait. How did he get past Hochul’s military? Clearly, this new martial law policy is not fixing the violence problem in the New York subway system, and passengers are being forced to find ways to defend themselves against attackers.

Robinson, who many say has mental illness issues, created a disturbance and got into a physical altercation with another passenger. A third passenger stabbed Robinson in what appeared to be an act of self-defense and to stop Robinson’s violent rage. Robinson then pulled a gun on the disarmed, law-abiding subway commuters. In a desperate attempt to save his life and the lives of…

More Common Than You’d Think. Pistol Checked into Luggage Disappears in Atlanta Airport

(Another statistic waiting to happen in Babylon on the Chattahoochee. There’s tags and scans everywhere, but they couldn’t seem to track this law-abiding citizen’s bag when HE did everything right and by the rules! The author seems to think it will be found. I’ve been missing an issue duffle bag full of personal gear since 1985 in Atlanta. My advice is don’t hold your breath! – DD)

(AmmoLand) – As tens of millions of Americans routinely carry guns when they travel, some are bound to be stolen by thieves. A passenger who recently traveled through Atlanta believes he is the victim of such a theft. From fox5atlanta.com:

“I said, ‘What happened?’ She said, ‘Your bag is delayed.’ I said, ‘What do you mean, delay?’ She said, ‘It didn’t make the flight.;”
The gun owner says a helpful Delta agent in Fort Lauderdale told him the airline map indicated the gun was still in Atlanta.
But once he returned to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday, that story changed.
“He goes to type the number in, now it says the gun was never checked in. Not even through Delta, or TSA,” he said. “So, somebody took it out of the system. What do you mean it’s ghost?”

Stealing a gun at an airport is a bad idea. There are cameras everywhere. Baggage is closely monitored and tracked by tag number. This correspondent has traveled with firearms dozens of times without a problem. Consider the Biden appointee who stole women’s luggage for some weird fetish. They were caught on camera and tracked down. One author recommends checking a gun in your luggage as a security measure.

Guns stolen at airports make for a high-profile case. The owner of the custom pistol missing in Atlanta checked the firearm correctly, and watched as it went through TSA processing. It is difficult to erase records of this activity without leaving traces behind. My prediction is…

San Antonio Blows $127,000 on Gun Buyback That Includes Toys

Help Dixie Defeat Big-Tech Censorship! Spread the Word! Like, Share, Re-Post, and Subscribe! There’s a lot more to see at our main page, Dixie Drudge!

(Real Clear Wire) – The San Antonio Police Department’s latest safety campaign spent over $127,000 to coax residents’ guns out of their hands, and ended up purchasing toy and BB guns along the way.

San Antonio’s first-ever gun buyback program paid Texans to give up their firearms, collecting 906 guns in exchange for up to $300 of credit at H-E-B grocery store.

The event was “never intended to lower crime” but to “help people feel safe, and to reduce the number of weapons that could get into circulation that could be used for crime,” according to Councilman and mayoral candidate John Courage, News 4 San Antonio reported.

But records obtained by the TV station revealed that the police paid for three toy guns and 16 pellet guns.

Those weapons are the sort that would shoot Ralphie’s eye out in “A Christmas Story,” not the kind that police need to spend six figures to protect the public from.

Courage explained that “anything that even looks like the gun can be a danger to people in the public,” because kids could injure themselves or scare others… (Come on dude! This is Texas! Get a grip. – DD)
