Cats, Guns, and National Security

In short, refusal to cooperate on enforcement of UNCONSTITUTIONAL gun laws (even if we can reach a baseline agreement on that) is fine, but unless accompanied by kinetic action against federal enforcers, it leaves people in still a precarious situation. Most of these laws and policies provide no means of stopping federal actors, and it leaves the government situation--i.e., the Harris-Biden insurrection--in place and operating. The answer, of course, is Federalist 46. These various "nullifications" and whatnot are fine (provided they focus on the egregious things), but only the vision of the Founders, especially that of James Madison--fourth POTUS and "Father of the Constitution"--can make the changes needed and truly restrain what needs to be restrained. The truth is, ALL governments and government forms based on popular representations, as America's is--it's "democracy," but some don't like that term--are subject to shifting winds of politic...

Starship Troopers 3 : Flawed and more mocking than 1, but likeable similar to how John Ashcroft liked "The Simpsons" because the family always had supper together. Plus the cute blonde with the legs is redeeming. (2 does not count--even the fanfic cult-following doesn't consider it canon.) And yes, I remember that the singer-Sky Marshall turns out [SPOILER OMITTED].

https://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2016/06/i-dont-know-his-politics-but-this-man.html This is the Toshiba ad where the executive decides NOT to ship a new computer model immediately, but rather to wait until the "impact-smart hard drive" can be included.  The fellow thinks through the consequences beyond the profit margin and the effect on the company itself, sees what we call in Military Intelligence the "second and third order of effect" of what might happen with an inferior drive, considers that maybe a bad consequence for society is something to be considered (rather than being selfish and self-centered), and thus opts to wait until the superior drive is available. This is something the typical individualist/libertarian-leaning conservative would never do.  "What's it to me?" he would ask.  After all, it's not like he would actually be causing the zombie invasion himself.  "It's that guy who dropped it who's responsib...

(MORE EMBEDDED LINKS TO BE ADDED LATER) In simple terms, the reality of gun control, especially "assault weapon" bans, is this: WHITE PEOPLE WILL LARGELY COMPLY WITH THE LAW (OR BURY THEIR STUFF, MAKING IT USELESS). BLACK PEOPLE WILL LARGELY IGNORE THE LAW, HOLDING ONTO THEIR HIGHER-END ARMS AND USING THEM AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE. The purpose of TDF is to prepare all law-abiding people and Patriots of whatever race for that situation. The American people failed to stop the 2020 Election Steal, and this is the result. Electoral victory is still possible, but not likely, and only temporary. The country has turned the corner as a "free" country. Thus, Patriots/White people have three choices for survival: 1. "Go along to get along," relying on baseline arms. 2. Form enclaves with collective firepower . 3. FINALLY get a Federalist 46 State action happening. There are no alternatives. The flipside of fuddity is the effort to retain as much firepower as possible ...

Working on a minimalist effort with specifics for truly baseline RKBA. It will address the "Three C's"--"Carry piece," "Carbine (PCCs, .30 Carbine, and in principle home-defense shotguns)," and "Combat rifle." Certain bargaining and negotiating aspects are classified at this time.

The Second Amendment is all but dead. Traditional RKBA is threatened, but MAY have a chance of minimal survival. I've long held that White people in America will at least maintain South Africa-level prerogatives on arms. But the key will be not to be greedy. That means libertarians will have to keep quiet, and purists will have to acknowledge defeat. And both will have to focus on what is NEEDED . So, in that vein, first I will recall the suggested armory from TDF 8 : Next, I will fudd it down so as to make it the most likely survivable of the incoming wave of gun control. (And I will remind readers that the American people chose this by failing the heed the Federalist 46 vision that I promoted.) This is not for immediate implementation immediately, but people should be prepared to go to this: 1. Go all manual action. Banning self-functioning arms could theoretically be done by declaring them all "readily convertible" to machine guns. Point 5 is thus automatically covered...

Report tonight:  House, Senate Democrats plan to add 4 Supreme Court justices: Report - YouTube Pro-gunners have choices here: 1. Continue acting like children with the libertarianism and purism, and watch RKBA die . - The only actual specific issue libertarians care about is doobie. - Purists are ignorant of anything about our Common Law history , and think "Shall not be infringed" is a magic incantation that stops anti-gunners in their tracks. 2. FINALLY go Federalist 46. - It's not too late . - Remember that *I* was one of the few with the courage, knowledge, and character to call for this YEARS ago in support of President Trump . 3. Negotiate a baseline meaningful RKBA . - Focus on areas with the most popular political support . (No, it's not all or nothing.) - Make common cause as at all reasonably able . (No, it's not all or nothing--and RKBA has a high priority.) - Consider  preemptive / affirmative action. (No, it's not all or nothing--save that we...

In basic terms: Heller jurisprudence does not include SBRs under 2A protection, as they are not in "common use" in the civilian arena, and non-NFA carbines (16-inch barrel, 26-inch overall) are readily capable of such defensive use--"a blunderbuss to ward off burglars." (They are also suitable for law enforcement assistance.) Pre-Heller 1939 Miller jurisprudence , on the other hand, set up a case FOR including them, according to one circuit court. In the 1942 Cases decision : At any rate the rule of the Miller case, if intended to be comprehensive and complete would seem to be already outdated, in spite of the fact that it was formulated only three and a half years ago, because of the well known fact that in the so called "Commando Units" some sort of military use seems to have been found for almost any modern lethal weapon.

REP Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-14) of Georgia maDe a dumb statement essentially declaring Guam to be a foreign country, like China, to oppose money spent on or given to it. This is classic Teabrainery, of course, the kind that should be explained away publicly as a simple brain fart, when the truth is that the hick has no idea about anything like that. But Gateway Pundit, a conservative outlet, attempted to save her by saying she simply meant it wasn't part of "America" the geographical entity, NOT that it was a foreign country . Three problems with that: 1. It's stupid, as her point and comparisons are obvious: 2. The big one: It makes her sound even worse than the other explanation. It's one thing to oppose sending money to foreign countries. It's another to oppose money going to a U.S. territory, occupied by U.S. citizens. 3. By the Teabrainer's logic, the State of Hawaii is not "America" (though I have long held Hawaii should NOT be a State ...

Technically, this might not be on-topic with TDF, but it's goes to the deepest reason for preserving as meaningful a RKBA as possible. America is not an "idea." It is a geographical area also called, "The New World," consisting of two continents. It is also used as synonymous with the United States of America, as our nation was the first European-demographic-based independent country in that region. Yes, that is Euro/White/Western-centric in its view of history. And that is why these United States indeed form a White country, with many others as full citizens with equal protection under the law. From the Declaration of Independence. Note that Chinese, Swazi, and Turkish backgrounds are not mentioned. And even other European backgrounds--like German--are omitted. And that is why other demographics will always feel a certain apprehension here. Between jealousy at what our White/Western peoples have accomplished north of the Rio Grande (and south, for that matter),...

Below is a tactical description dating from 2018. At the time, Point 1 was priority, as the threat was from attacks in public on Patriots. In 2020, Points 2 and 3 moved into priority due to the growth of the BLM insurrection and chances of a civil war. With the failure of the American people and States to stop the 2020 Election Steal, we face a situation where we may be back to Point 1, plus some of 2, as the priority, not due to the tactical situation so much as because Point 3 will face legal strangling. If that happens, it was the fault of our people. RECOMMENDATION: Acquire uber-PC rifles. Focus work politically on more defensible pistol-caliber arms: Preserve magazine capacity and PCC features. And Patriots need to develop COLLECTIVE action plans . No time for individualism.

‘Working Cats:’ Humane Animal Rescue Of Pittsburgh Helping Solve City’s Rodent Issues – CBS Pittsburgh (cbslocal.com) https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2021/04/09/humane-animal-rescue-working-cats/?fbclid=IwAR1iX2AsI5bG_cZkZm0xVKZqrJUsGMlpobRo-nsMq0Nmh-SJvK8HEeECBlA SNIPPIT: “These are cats that really got a second chance at life,” Krissy says. Amanda adds, “It’s really a life-saving program, and we’re really excited that it’s kind of taken off here.” They’re not cuddly cats, but they earn their keep by working to keep out unwanted animals and entertaining while they do it

FOLKS, TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. CALLING FOR POLICIES THAT WILL NEVER BE ADOPTED DOES NOTHING TO HELP THE SITUATION. Settlement of the English colonies in North America made BEARING a much larger part of the Anglo Common Law Right to Arms. In the Old Country, the right in terms had largely focused on one's home  (e.g., the 1688/89 English Right to Arms provision being interpreted as a blunderbuss in a peasant's home to ward off burglars) . Long-distance traveling in the colonies sometimes involved being armed being legally required. But local carry around your "familiar haunts," as Arkansas courts would later describe them, was seen as subject to regulation. Texas as well regulated handgun possession when not "traveling"--defined by Texas authorities to me personally circa 2000 as crossing three county lines and staying overnight. Such prerogative for regulation will likely carry over in post-Heller 2A and 14A jurisprudence, meaning that while such local carry wo...

SPECIAL NOTE: (See  TDF 25  regarding "Political Mitigation" of gun control efforts by engagement and negotiation--rather than denial, a NATO-like defense of everything that shoots, and chants of, "Shall not be infringed!") Today we will discuss the divergent responses of various categories of people on matters of guns, the Second Amendment, and the Right to Arms. These are the "2A Purist," the "2A Hobbyist," the "Libertarian," the typical "2A Activist," the regular "Moderate/Neutral" on RKBA (the vast bulk of the American population), and  the "2A-focused Patriot."  These categories do not cover all people not affirmatively anti-gun, but the distinctions here are telling enough. When a given point of controversy or concern about the guarantee of private armament is raised: 2A PURIST : "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! If you say, 'I support 2A, but...' you don't support it, period." 2A HOBBYIS...
