i see that they have arrested the little prick suspected of shooting Charlie Kirk. I bet he is having a lousy day. Lots of interrogation, and I'm sure that we'll learn more about him as the days go on.
I die hear this morning that the rifle used was an "imported bolt-action in .30 caliber". Hell, that could bbe anything. I know that Winchester, Browning and Wetherby all import their rifles.
I am reminded that in the aftermath of January 6th, the Democrats did everything they could to demonize all Republicans. Fairly or unfairly, they painted everyone as in insurrectionist. Now, after two attempts on President Trump and the successful assassination of Charlie Kirk, it is time to paint all Democrats a as assassins.
The kid who shot Charlie Kirk was not a nutjob with a rifle, he was a Democrat. The Democrats ar ethe party of assassins. That seems like a logical conclusion.
UODATE** I just learned that the rifle in question is a Mauser 98 in .30-06. ATF is trying to run a trace. Good luck with that. That rifle was probably imported long before traces began.

"Wilson was previously arrested for vandalizing the Seated Lincoln statue in Julia Davis Park in 2021. According to BPD, Wilson placed paint, feces, and makeshift signs on the statue. The City of Boise Parks and Recreation crews were tasked with cleaning up the vandalism.
"At the time, Wilson was ordered to serve 32 hours of public service in lieu of jail time and pay the City of Boise $91.96 in restitution."
Not mentioned in this article was that Wilson was a BLM activist and BSU adjunct faculty. I expect continued attempts at provoking a reaction, so go armed but aware that they will try to provoke an over-reaction. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words never cross the line into lawful deadly force." If you cannot keep this under control, do not come armed. Leave long guns at home. If armed, concealed them.
My wife vetoed it. She pointed out that last night was thrown together by our side and the progressive response was similarly ad hoc. Tonight the progressives might be armed to cause mass deaths. I would like to think Boise PD could handle this but not good to put too many conservatives in one uncontrolled space.

Governor Lou Leon Guerrero, public domain
The bill to restore silencers/suppressors to legal status in Guam was introduced by William A. Parkinson on January 15, 2025. Senator Parkinson is a Democrat in Guam. Nine of the fifteen senators in Guam are Republicans. Ten votes are needed in the Guam legislature to override a governor's veto. If all 9 Republican senators in the Guam legislature vote for the bill with Senator Parkinson, they could override Governor Guerrero's veto. That is what happened on July 31, 2025.
The legislature had previously passed legislation to restore legal status for suppressors/silencers in 2021, but governor Guerrero had vetoed the bill. She vetoed the silencer/suppressor bill for the second time in June of 2025. From guampdn.com:
The governor vetoed the bill in June, over concern that the devices could be used to mask the sound of gunshots in a life-threatening situation.
“Suppressors are not what we’ve seen on television. They don’t make guns completely silent,” Parkinson said Monday. They are a safety tool for people who practice with firearms in a responsible manner.”
He said suppressors prevent hearing loss for those who are exercising their Second Amendment right and practicing with firearms.
The Guam legislature overrode the Governor's veto on July 31, 2025. From nationalguntrusts.com:
Guam became the first U.S. Territory to legalize suppressors, also know as silencers. This decision came by overriding Governor Lou Leon Guerrero's veto on July 31, 2025, when the legislature passed the Hearing Protection Act of 2025 - Bill No. 27-38. The bill was passed with a decisive 10-5 margin. The bill was backed by all nine republicans and included one democrat in the 10 votes and was lead by Senator William Parkinson.
The bill is well written. It takes into account the potential changes in the Federal law about silencers. From Bill No. 27-38:
§60103. Ownership, etc., Permitted.
Any person who qualifies under this Chapter may lawfully own, possess, use or carry any rifle, shotgun, pistol or revolver not prohibited by §60102 subject to the conditions and penalties provided in this Chapter. Mufflers, silencers, or devices for deadening the sound of discharged firearms are permitted; provided, that the specifications, purchase, ownership, and possession of the device complies with applicable federal laws, rules, and regulations.”
Bill No. 27-38 has been carefully worded to allow for changes in the federal law about silencers/suppressors. The federal law is in a state of flux. The $200 tax on silencers/suppressors has been eliminated. It is possible silencers/suppressors will be removed from the National Firearms Act. Bill No. 27-38 only requires suppressors in Guam to be in compliance with federal law and regulations. If certain federal requirements are removed, people in Guam will not be required to comply with them.
Guam may be the most conservative American Territory. Former Governor Calvo of Guam signed a "shall issue" concealed carry law into effect in 2014.
Silencers were first regulated by federal law in 1934 in the National Firearms Act. The legislative intent, or reason to regulate silencers was not clear at the time. An ATF agent told this correspondent his mentor at the ATF told him the Secretary of the Department of the Interior in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration has asked for silencers to be included because of concerns they might be used for poaching in national parks. The heavy handed "banning by taxation" of silencers has been a federal national health disaster. Millions of Americans have lost hearing as a result of the short sighted and uninformed policy decision.

The confrontation happened around 11:27 p.m. Tuesday on the street in the 5300 block of San Pablo Avenue.
According to initial police reports, a 62-year-old man and a 30-year-old man who know each other confronted a 40-year-old man they apparently did not know who was tagging the side of a building, in a fenced-off lot.
The argument escalated, and the 40-year-old man allegedly started stabbing the two other men, authorities said. The younger man then allegedly shot him at least twice.
- A business owner in Mesa allegedly shot a man who was assaulting them on their property on Sept. 9.
- Police say the owner and suspect had gotten into a confrontation prior to the shooting.
- The shooting remains under investigation.
Investigators believe that a different man arrived at the apartment of an ex-friend. Once inside, the altercation ensued, during which shots were fired.
The second man involved in the shooting remained on the scene and was taken to Birmingham Police Headquarters for questioning.
On Wednesday, Sept. 10, Birmingham Police say the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office ruled the actions justifiable.
According to the official statement released by the Houston Police
Department, an altercation reportedly preceded the fatal event,
involving the now-deceased male allegedly assaulting a female. This
significantly escalated to involve a second male, who is believed to
have quickly retrieved a firearm during the struggle and subsequently
fired at the assailant, resulting in his death.

Doesn’t everyone want a freeze dryer? It feels like the ultimate answer to long-term food storage, your foods, your way, preserved “forever.” Perfect for a nuclear war, another COVID lockdown, or just peace of mind. My family has a lot of food allergies, making it difficult for long long-term food storage solutions. We have never been able to find freeze-dried foods that were a combination of what we eat, and not processed in facilities that process ingredients we’re allergic to. That’s why the freeze dryer seemed like the perfect solution. And honestly, it still is. But not before I learned …

"The weapon — an imported .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle — was discovered wrapped in a towel by investigators in a wooded area following the killing of the conservative leading light, who was shot once while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, according to the memo."
Engraved? I suspect marked. Engraving seems a bit severe for ammunition. Transgender? Call me startled.
I've been watching the wall-to-wall coverage of the Kirk assassination, and I'm struck by a few thoughts.
First, the shooter planned this. He had ab objective and an escape route. As I type this, about 1:00 CDT, I don't believe that he has been caught. The shot doesn't appear to be particularly challenging.
If the shooter thought that he would accomplish something, he was absolutely right. The airwaves are awash with his eulogy and if anything, he is more well known than he was yesterday.
In the days to come, we will learn more about the shooter, and his motivations. It will be interesting to see how he was financed, his political leanings and who his friends are.
Chairman Mao famously said that all power flows through the barrel of a gun, and while that sentiment served Mao well, it may not apply in the way that he meant it. That one gunshot in Utah yesterday may have unleashed a whirlwind of political activism that will resonate for many years to come.

9/11/25 Inside Higher Education:
The U.S. Department of Education plans to end discretionary grant programs for a slew of minority-serving institutions, officials announced Wednesday—after Congress had already appropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars to those programs. The move stunned MSI advocates, who argue the department doesn’t have the authority to nix them.
The Education Department asserted that these programs amount to “discrimination” and are “unconstitutional” because they require colleges to enroll a certain percentage of students from a particular racial or ethnic background to qualify. For example, HSIs must enroll at least a quarter Hispanic students, among other requirements, to earn the federal designation.
“Discrimination based upon race or ethnicity has no place in the United States,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in the announcement. “To further our commitment to ending discrimination in all forms across federally supported programs, the Department will no longer award Minority-Serving Institution grants that discriminate by restricting eligibility to institutions that meet government-mandated racial quotas.”
When our government started actively supporting HBCUs, it was in the aftermath of slavery. You can argue, I think legitimately, that subsequent efforts, not entirely in the South, sought to keep blacks uneducated and unskilled.
Those days are long over. The legal obstacles have been gone for at least two generations. Hispanics were never subject to these legal obstacles. They were in the eyes of the law white. A friend graduated from University of Texas in 1948. That institution was still requiring blacks to attend an inferior, all-black law school in 1950. While looking through her graduation program, I was struck with how many Spanish names there were.
The only defense progressives have left is that this is still a profoundly racist society. In 1930. Charlotte Democrats would have lynched to accused. The double standard for justice argues that if there remains widespread discrimination, it is in favor of black criminals, largely to the detriment of black victims.

“I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened. I can still barely understand it,” Mandelson also said."
It has been twenty-four years — nearly a quarter of a century — since the followers of a demonic ideology attacked our nation. For some Americans, memories have faded. Others choose to forget or forgive. A whole generation has grown up with no firsthand knowledge of that day and little grasp of its history. Yet the events of September 11, 2001 brought a horror to our shores that the world must never be allowed to forget.
The same ideology that fueled those attacks still spreads violence across Europe and throughout the world. It continues to bring evil to our own shores as well. And yet, many remain complacent, blind, or willfully ignorant. Worse still, some within our own government aid and placate those who threaten us.
Today we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families whose grief has never faded. Their sacrifice and suffering deserve not only our remembrance but also our resolve.
We must remember what was done to us on that bright September morning. We must stand firm against it. Be vigilant, for the evil one and his minions have not relented. The threat endures.
We have an administration of the Very Online catering to a partisan fanbase of the Very Online and being reported on by the Very Online.

As an observer of contemporary politics, economics, and emerging threats, I have come to the conclusion that the last three years of Donald John Trump’s second term as President may provide a potential window of opportunity. If we were now living under a Harris-Walz Administration, we would surely be out of time to prepare. I have my doubts about Trump’s sincerity when he talks about scaling back the size and power of government.

“The truth is that while those on the left – particularly the far left – claim to be tolerant and welcoming of diversity, in reality many are quite intolerant of anyone not embracing their radical views.” – The Late Charlie Kirk
The post The Editors’ Quote of the Day: appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.
Everyone is reporting that Charlie Kirk, a staunch conservative voice was killed today at a campus event in Utah.
When I was listening to the reporting on the radio, the details were mixed and confused. Evidently, he was shot in the neck. The 72 hour rule is now in effect.
My thoughts and prayers to his survivors. Charlie will be missed.
Violent liberals are a rapidly spreading cancer within the USA. The equally dangerous disease though, in US society, are the despicable pieces of political liberal scum like Schumer, Biden, Harris, Hillary Clinton, and others on the left, who obviously, in my opinion, promote and spur on violence against conservatives or any others who disagree with them, and who are probably secretely ecstatic due to his death.
Mr. Kirk was a peaceful conservative - he was well spoken, very knowledgeable and an extremely intelligent man - who openly discussed his ideals with anyone who would listen or care to debate him. Such a person is despised by leftists.
Sadly, it seems evident to me that the typical liberal's response to answer people like him is full of vitriol, hatred, lies and nonsensical rhetoric that leftist politicians and influencers have spewed forth for decades. When that does not work to their ends, they evidently resort to actively promoting slightly veiled calls for horrific violence in an attempt to silence they who think differently. Yet, somehow they call themselves tolerant.
I almost hope that this results in wide scale violent retaliation, but note I said almost. I said almost because I believe as Mr. Kirk believed that peaceful intelligent dialogue and debate are the better way to go. The thing is, in my opinion, I also believe that any politician who evidently espouses violence against their opposition, the likes of that low life Schumer, should be jailed for life. The shooter should be executed upon conviction as I see it.
Rest in peace Charlie Kirk, I will miss you greatly. My sincere condolences to his wife and his young children who now will grow up without their loving father.
Stay safe, stay armed, be ready for an explosion of leftist violence; be ready to protect yourselves and others from liberals who hate us. I can only hope that the U.S. Secret Service will excel at protecting President Trump, his family and his inner circle because I feel another assassination attempt against a conservative is almost certain to come all too soon.
All the best,

“We are confirming that he was shot and we are praying for Charlie,” said Aubrey Laitsch, public relations manager for Turning Point USA."
Receiving flak means over target. Some report that I cannot immediately find says police took into custody a "white-haired man." There are still a lot of boomers who feel like they may missed their chance to be "relevant" in 1969.
I am hearing rumors that he died. The very graphic video i saw of him falling over as blood gushed from his neck makes this very plausible. A single shot almost from a rifle (200 yards). The downside of rifles as defense against tyranny is that tools of tyrants can also use them as seems sensible to them. Never speak at a public event where anyone can easily get to you. Stay in halls where your security team can do a proper search.
Yes, news coverage is reporting his death. Hitler launched Krystallnacht over someone less important and curiously a member of the resistance to Hitler. If you take the left seriously the entire cast of MSNOW will be in camps tomorrow.

On July 18, 2025, the Delaware State Sportsmen's Association and the Bridgeville Rifle and Pistol Club sued the Delaware Department of Safety and the Delaware Superintendent of State Police. The lawsuit challenged a law passed in 2022 which made the possession and purchase of certain firearms by anyone between the ages of 18 and 21 illegal.
The lawsuit was heard in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware by Judge Reneta L. Green-Streett. On August 29, 2025, Judge Green-Streett granted the plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgement and denied the Defendants' Cross-Motion for Summary Judgement.
With this opinion, 18-20 year olds are held to have full rights to keep and bear arms protected by the Delaware state Constitution. The case is based on the Delaware state Constitution, article I Section 20.
§ 20. Right to keep and bear arms.
Section 20. A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.
Delaware added state protection of the right to keep and bear arms in 1987 . Before that, the Delaware state constitution did not have a right to keep and bear arms section. Before 1970, there were 14 states which did not have a right to keep and bear arms provision in their state constitutions. As the push to infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment accelerated with the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, groups supporting the right to keep and bear arms pushed to place protections in state constitutions, and strengthen those which already existed. Today there are only five states which have no state constitutional protections for the right to keep and bear arms.
In the opinion by Judge Green-Streett, she notes the Delaware Supreme Court upheld Section 20 in 2017. The opinion by Judge Green-Streett is based on the state Constitution and the Delaware Supreme Court precedent. From the opinion:
Third, although federal jurisprudence surrounding the Second Amendment may prove persuasive, this Court’s analysis must be based on the Delaware Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Delaware Constitution. Taken together, along with the axiomatic concept that this Court must follow Delaware Supreme Court’s decisional law regarding Delaware statutory and constitutional law until the Delaware Supreme Court issues new guidance, this Court will apply the test described in Bridgeville to determine if HB 451 violates Section 20.
Judge Green-Streett declined to use the Federal standards set forth by the United States Supreme Court. She held "the Delaware provision is intentionally broader than the Second Amendment and protects the right to bear arms outside the home, including hunting and recreation.”
Judge Green-Streett found the exercise of a Constitutionally protected right cannot be reliant on discretionary licensing procedure. From the opinion:
The concealed carry statute’s plain text conveys the process is discretionary. The exercise of a constitutionally-protected right cannot be reliant on a discretionary licensing procedure. That premise particularly applies where, as is the case with an application for a concealed carry permit, an applicant who receives a denial has no appellate options. An 18-to-20-year-old applying for a concealed carry permit, after fulfilling all requirements, may be denied without any recourse to have her constitutional right to possess a firearm for self-defense restored to her.
Judge Green-Streett concluded the provisions of HB451 which infringe on a subsection of adults, are unenforceable. From the conclusion of the opinion:
Article I, Section 20 of the Delaware Constitution enshrined the right of citizens to “keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.” At a minimum, some provisions of HB 451 infringe on the right of a subsection of adults, aged eighteen to twenty, to exercise their right to “defense of self, family, home and State.” Accordingly, those provisions violate the Delaware Constitution and are unenforceable. HB 451’s provisions that do not affect the rights of 18-to-20-year-olds – such as those outlining the rehabilitative services offered to those under the age of eighteen – remain intact. Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, and Defendants’ Cross- Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The protection of the right to keep and bear arms in Delaware resulted from far-seeing citizens who pushed for and obtained Section 20 of the Delaware State Constitution in 1987. Protections in Constitutions depend on honest judges to enforce them.
State constitutions, as with the United States Constitution, depend on people with the will to hold officials accountable, in a representative republic.

The teen was taken to a local hospital and is listed in critical but stable condition. Investigators said the incident began when the teen became upset after a rideshare ride was canceled.
Police said he approached the driver in a threatening manner while armed and in response, the driver then fired a gun, hitting the teen.
The GBI says Terrance Gordon, 45, was walking along 1st Avenue in Eastman just after midnight on Sept. 7, firing a gun into the air.
Gordon, an Eastman native, then approached a home on 1st Avenue and threatened the tenants, according to the press release. Gordon and the homeowner shot at each other, and both were injured during the shooting.
The press release says Eastman police responded to the shooting, and found Gordon after he was shot. Gordon was taken to Dodge County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, per the release.

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Here are the steps that I followed in this project: Figure out how much space is available. Don’t just think in two dimensions (length and width), look up and consider how tall the available space is and what is above it. You are essentially playing a three-dimensional version of the old two-dimensional Tetris game in this exercise, while factoring in the features of your home. My basement shelving has been constrained by things like water lines, waste lines, propane lines, and HVAC ducts. Consider how wide any aisles between rows of shelves …
