Nephew’s Father: Yes, we’re going to run around with giant paper-mâché heads.
Nephew: But then we’d have to light you on fire.
I’m so proud!

Nephew’s Father: Yes, we’re going to run around with giant paper-mâché heads.
Nephew: But then we’d have to light you on fire.
I’m so proud!
And it’s writing new rules to stop it from happening again!
To address concerns raised about Operation Choke Point, the FDIC will now require bank examiners to put in writing any recommendation or requirement for an account termination.
The examiner will also be required to indicate what law or regulation they believe the bank or the customer of the bank is violating.
Problem 1: Someone’s rung the bell. We are going to have to watch to ensure that subsequent administrations don’t pull the same trick.
Problem 2: Banks are, by and large, conservative organizations. Having been stung once for dealing with gun and gun-related industries, they may decide the risk is not worth the reward.
Make no mistake, this is a win for liberty and RKBA. The question is whether the damage can be repaired.
There’s a world of difference between “Never Again” and “It Can’t Happen Here.”

Think on that for a long moment and ask yourself which side of that quote you are on.
Sonata Arctica is one of my stable of decent power metal bands. I can put any of their albums in and just listen.

Legal Insurrection managed to get a hold of the arrest affidavit for David Gregory. Metro PD wanted him charged, but the DA declined.
David Gregory’s a prick, but he shouldn’t have been charged for the crime. It’s a bullshit law and he was doing no physical harm. (Arguing against our rights, but not threatening anyone with physical harm). The issue is that the same DA’s office that declined to prosecute Gregory has been notorious for its vigorous prosecution of people who aren’t on the televisions. (See link in the story)
What makes him so different than the others? What made his breaking the law different than the others?
I don’t want David Gregory in jail. (Okay, I would laugh my ass off if he was, but it would still be wrong.) What I want is for the DC DA’s office to treat everyone who is caught under the District’s onerous laws to be given the same deference as to their intentions and character before making them felons.
We do not move forward by curtailing people’s liberty because we are afraid of what they may do or say.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Would someone please remind the progressives of this?
I don’t expect the “hands up” community to be happy about this, but they haven’t let little things like facts and the law sway them from their narrative anyway. They’re kind of like anti-vaxxers and young earth creationists in that way.
Why throw all those resources at this case? More importantly, why wasn’t the same level of resources devoted to John Crawford’s murder? Oh yeah, because CNN and MSNBC weren’t blaring his murder 24-7.
This is not helping my trust in the .gov.
Another new band for Metal Tuesday: Brainstorm. Most of their music falls into “background music” for me, but this one I like a lot.
