We have often seen tweets where the commenter says that they are a veteran, that they know about firearms, and that no civilian needs an AR-15 (or fill in the blank firearm.)
Someone by the name of Lakota Man, had just such a tweet.
When I was in the Army, we kept our M-16’s locked up in the armory. The only time we brought them out was for guard duty — or when we trained for war.
He got a response from War Path to which he agreed.
Talk about getting owned.
The sad thing is that Lakota Man has over 200,000 Twitter followers and I would wager a good number of them think that the forward assist is some sort of full auto button. As to War Path, that was world-class trolling!
My good friends at Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership have a great tweet up. It was posted a couple of days ago and is aimed at those blue state Democrat governors who want to implement the Bruen precedent “with all deliberate speed.”
Blue state governors, chill. In 1957 another Democrat governor, Orval Faubus, defied #SCOTUS and blocked 9 black students from entering their high school in Little Rock. Are you going to try to defy #SCOTUS 's striking down NY's anti-civil rights gun law? #2A DON'T BE A #Faubus. pic.twitter.com/pobR5Ckaie
Dr. Lee Ritz wins the Internet today for this tweet. It shows Kenosha County Assistant DA James Kraus as he listens to testimony by Gaige Grosskreutz in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Let’s just say the testimony didn’t go as the prosecution hoped.
Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket is one of my favorite war movies. One of the enduring characters in the movie was Gunny Hartman as played by the late R. Lee Ermey.
I saw this on Twitter and couldn’t stop laughing. And replaying it.
I came across a tweet from Everytown’s favorite demanding mom this morning and the comments could just write themselves.
I spent three hours trying to learn how to knit online today. Please let me know if you have any suggested classes, videos, books, general instruction, etc. I’m not a natural. pic.twitter.com/V4Fvgrl3bA
I don’t know whether it was because I criticized my alma mater Guilford College for deleting virtually every worthwhile major and keeping the fluff such as gender and grievance studies or because I tried to retweet something from Twitchy about Chuck Schumer ignoring COVID now that it seems Biden is the winner but I’m lock out of Twitter.
It says I may need to “complete some additional tasks” if I want to resume using Twitter. Does that mean I have to go to Jack’s re-education camp like Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge forced upon the Cambodians?
UPDATE: Below is the email I got from Twitter regarding the locking of my account and the reason.
What it says it that I shared “privately produced/distributed intimate media”. When I follow the link, I find that I am being accused of reposting something that violated the non-consensual nudity policy.
What prompted me to repost the link was a report on Instapundit.com by Prof. Glenn Reynolds that Facebook had refused a link to the article every time he tried to post it. I, like many others, then posted it to Twitter. We all got our accounts fraudulently locked by the powers that be at Twitter under the pretext that we were posting non-consensual nudity. I’m surprised that they didn’t say we were posting “kiddie porn”.
Bastards!
UPDATE II: Well, not total bastards. I just got this when I appealed.

Attorney Ilya Shapiro of the Cato Institute had a series of tweets regarding the Supreme Court’s abdicating its duty to say what the law means with regard to the Second Amendment.
Shapiro is correct. The Supreme Court should be ashamed of itself.
