Quite a shocker! When highly-credentialed bona-fide liberal criminologists refuse to sing the rancid party tune on gun restriction, they're branded as "NRA shills":

And when bona-fide liberals refuse to sing the rancid party tune on gun restriction, we're painted as Republicans. (No True Scotsman, anyone?) I mean, I could honestly state that I donated the maximum legal amount to President Obama's first GE campaign.......and have donated $750 to Bernie's campaign --- but I could be lying, of course.

In a perfect world, a DU administrator would pipe in here and point out that it would be highly unlikely for a Republican to donate to DU at the level that I have, while dealing with the mendacious smearmaster appropriately........but ours is hardly a perfect world. Ugliness that would result in an immediate sanction (or possible tombstone) in other forums are forgiven when they are directed at a "Gungeoneer".

As I've mentioned before, the San Diego Sheriff's Dept. has signaled that shall-issue is coming to California. In the past, it used to be necessary to demonstrate proficiency to both a firearms instructor, then the Sheriff in order to obtain a CCW permit. The requirement to demonstrate proficiency to the Sheriff has been dropped. Hmmmmm..........wonder why that is? It'll be a gas watching The Controllers hiss, foam and scream when this happens; predicting "blood in the streets" as they always do.
