Lest you take seriously anything liberals tell you about guns:

Let’s hope Catherine Herridge appreciates the education provided by a Twitter reader who added this context to her misleading tweet:

The “guns” shown in the video have orange tips to mark them as toys.

These clueless weenies together with more formal members of the Democratic Party apparatus think they should decide which guns the Constitution meant for you to have.

No doubt the “racist” comments were every bit as scary as the gun collection.

Too bad for Jack Teixeira he didn’t leak the docs during the Vietnam War. The media would be fêting him.

Congrats, CBS News. You have topped the tweet on rubber bullets used to oppress mostly peaceful Ferguson rioters:

Don’t be too hard on Ryan J. Reilly, currently of NBC News. Liberal elitists avoid guns and manual labor, so how would a journalist know what earplugs are?

As George Orwell observed,

“Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.”

Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods addresses this task by explaining to the media and others witless enough to need to be told that no, guns are not responsible for crimes committed using guns, like the recent murder of three teenagers in Ocklawaha, Florida. The criminals are, even when they qualify as juveniles:

Also responsible are the liberals who allow criminals to run amok.

Imagine his horror when this moonbat realizes that for now, people are allowed to buy cars that could be used to run other people over:

Are you lefties sure you want to keep boxing the country into another civil war? What if you have to do your own fighting?

Alvin Bragg isn’t the first moonbat to try dictating to the country from the leftist fever swamps of the Empire State. Former New York Superintendent of Financial Services Maria Vullo ordered financial institutions to stop doing business with the NRA “or else.”

Shockingly, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Vullo against the NRA. Nineteen state attorneys general are calling on the Supreme Court to overturn this tyrannical ruling:

In an amicus brief, the attorneys general said that Vullo violated the First Amendment rights of the NRA…

It is a crime to conspire to deprive us of our constitutional rights. The NRA exists explicitly to defend our Second Amendment rights, which is why Democrats want it silenced.

“If the Second Circuit’s decision is left standing, it’s not difficult to imagine government officials employing similar tactics to stifle disfavored speakers. Whether the method of choice is to target financial institutions that advocacy groups depend on to engage in fulsome political advocacy…or simply to target private organizations that host events for such groups, the path forward is clearly marked,” the attorneys general wrote in the brief. “And if this Court doesn’t intervene to shut down that path, ‘where would such official bullying end?’”

Abortion and the transsexualization of children are important to liberals, but they pale in comparison to gun confiscation. Only when we have been disarmed can the official bullying get underway for real.

Civilization is under direct attack in Nashville, where leftists are following up on last week’s transsexual terror attack that killed six at a Christian school by demanding potential victims be disarmed. A leftist mob has laid siege to the state capitol — on behalf of Democrat legislators.

Via Fox News:

A loud group of demonstrators stormed the Tennessee State Capitol on Thursday to protest a vote in the state House to remove three lawmakers for disrupting the state House floor in Nashville last week during protests for stricter gun control measures. …

The protest comes after Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a Republican, said Wednesday that Democratic state Reps. Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson would have their chance for due process when they face expulsion from an overwhelmingly Republican majority for disrupting House floor proceedings to lead protesters in the overhead balcony last Thursday.

If January 6 was an insurrection, as the liberal media has been shrieking for the past 2 years, what do you call this?

Sexton explains why the three insurrectionists need to be expelled:

“These three individuals stormed up to the well where you speak from without being recognized, did not display decorum, they disrupted the proceedings where we had to shut down, pulled out a megaphone and started to lead the balcony in protest for the next 30 to 45 minutes.”

“Their actions on the House floor rise to the level of expulsion. We cannot allow these types of things to take place in the people’s House,” he added.

Mob rule intimidation tactics suggest that leftists would use violence to deny us our right of self-defense. Imagine how violent they will become after we are disarmed. Tens of millions were killed when similar people espousing the same ideology took over Russia and China in the 20th century.

Note the communist salute:

The establishment media will side with the leftist mob. Its agenda cannot be inflicted on a population able to defend itself.

Ernest Hemingway said he went bankrupt “gradually, then suddenly.” That is how America is losing its liberty and succumbing to the misery of authoritarianism. We are entering the suddenly stage.

The Long March Through the Institutions has already claimed the bureaucracy, the media, education, major churches, the legal profession, the medical profession, and even sports. Now that radical moonbats are the establishment, they can finish off the last potential pockets of resistance — like country music:

The annual Country Music Television (CMT) Awards show Sunday night was infused with political messages from 29-year-old singer Kelsea Ballerini, who co-hosted the ceremony alongside musician Kane Brown.

Ballerini performed on stage with drag queens from a reality TV show in an apparent rebuke of GOP-backed legislation. She also seemed to push gun control measures while invoking the recent school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, perpetrated by a former student, a 28-year-old woman who identified as a man.

The reference is to a Tennessee law protecting children from being groomed by drag queens.

You could almost admire the chutzpah of progressives who spin horrific violence from their own side as a pretext to disarm the law-abiding normal people they openly hate.

Behold the future of country music under moonbat hegemony:

Meanwhile, Democrats screech that transsexuals need more visibility.

Every cultural nook and cranny that may provide a refuge for people sick of leftist politics must be infiltrated, subverted, perverted, defiled, and destroyed before it becomes a platform for dissent. It’s not as if liberalism can withstand counterarguments.

On a tip from Franco.

Kentucky has followed Tennessee’s lead in protecting children from horrific sex change operations. As in Tennessee, moonbats don’t like it. After the Covenant School massacre, they are feeling their oats:

Yesterday, transgender activists stormed into Kentucky’s Capitol building in Frankfort. They began shouting and chanting because of a transgender law the Republicans were passing, overriding the veto of Kentucky’s radical Democrat governor.

The mainstream media has almost completely ignored this for the same reason authorities will not share Audrey Hale’s manifesto. At least we have Jack Posobiec:

Back in Tennessee, leftists continue to follow up on the Nashville terror attack by demanding potential victims be disarmed:

Hundreds of protesters swarmed the Tennessee State Capitol on Thursday demanding gun control in the wake of Monday’s deadly school shooting. …

Protesters overwhelmed the Capitol, filling the hallways and eventually making their way to the legislative session chambers.

If they can’t get us to vote away our fundamental rights, they use tactics like this:

No need to wonder how hyperbolically the liberal establishment would respond if right-wing protesters were to act out of character by storming a capitol. Jacob Chansley can tell you all about it — now that Tucker Carlson’s revelations have gotten him released from prison.

All school shootings delight moonbats, who eagerly exploit them to attack our right of self-defense. But the transgender terror attack in Nashville on Monday was special. It served as a shot across the bow, warning normal people to passively accept the cesspool of depravity their country is being transformed into. Looks like the staff of leftist Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has been in no mood to mourn:

Fox News reports:

Hobbs’ press secretary, Josselyn Berry, made headlines after a picture of an armed woman from a Twitter account of the same name appeared to threaten violent action against “transphobes.”

A “transphobe” is anyone who puts up resistance to the transsexual agenda.

“Us when we see transphobes,” Berry’s tweet read, including a GIF of a woman wielding two handguns.

The offending post from Berry, a Democratic operative and spokesperson for Hobbs, has since been removed from Twitter for violating the site’s rules.

The tweet was aimed at fellow liberals like J.K. Rowling who fail to toe the line regarding psychotic transsexual doctrine. Berry denounces them for “bigotry.”

The Arizona Freedom Caucus notes that Berry tweeted this less than 12 hours after the mass murder in Nashville.

Letting these people disarm us would not be wise.

On a tip from Wiggins.

“We can disarm you,” liberals smugly assure us. “We have school shootings.”

True enough, school shootings are a trump card for progressives, who know they cannot inflict their agenda on a population capable of defending itself. Each one sends the media into paroxysms of euphoria, because they can be spun into forceful propaganda against our fundamental right of self-defense — even in the case of a terrorist attack, as occurred in Nashville yesterday:

Nashville police revealed that the 28-year-old who shot and killed six people at the Covenant School, including three children, identified as transgender and had a detailed manifesto to attack the Christian academy.

The killer was identified as Audrey Hale.

Mass murderers are not often female. The policy of fostering mental illness by encouraging psychotic transsexual delusions and pumping women full of testosterone so they can pretend to be men is turning out about as well as could be expected.

While Democrats/the media reflexively claim that our right of self-defense is responsible, the actual driver of this atrocity appears to have been Hale’s twisted ideology, as suggested by the existence of a manifesto.

According to Nashville Metropolitan Police Chief John Drake,

Hale was “prepared to do more harm than was actually done,” and that she had drawn up plans to attack another school in the area, but backed out of them because the school was too secure.

No wonder local Democrat authorities do not focus appropriately on increasing school security. Too much of it and there won’t be carnage to exploit for attacking the Second Amendment.

Adding to the media malfeasance this time is the concern for not offending the dead killer by failing to use her preferred pronouns:

The New York Times, CNN, USA Today, and other liberal media outlets have elicited scorn and outrage after they took measures to ensure that they were on the record as not “misgendering” the transsexual who slaughtered children inside a Nashville Christian elementary school on Monday.

Hale demanded that her psychosis be revered through the use of he/him pronouns.

Like liberal journalists, Hale’s mother is a gun control activist. However, the killer herself was probably more focused on transgenderism — speaking of which:

This act of apparent trans-activist terrorism against Christians comes days before a planned “Trans Day of Vengeance” which is scheduled for Saturday.

The “vengeance” sought by transsexuals is in retaliation against normal people for imaginary violence and for legislation that impedes the transsexualization of children, as was passed recently in Tennessee, protecting children from sex change procedures and drag performances.

Transsexualism is based on a fundamental rejection of objective reality. Unsurprisingly, transsexual militants are hardly paragons of mental health. Their current turn toward violent tactics is alarming in the extreme.

Here’s how America’s descent into the maelstrom of moonbattery looks from overseas:
