  • I have a theory about her intentions for writing about killing that dog.

    Noem published her autobiography while vying to be the republican running mate in the election. On the one hand, why would she choose to publish something so openly sinister in her autobiography, at such a consequential time for her political career? She must have known that story would get picked up and blasted in the media. But part of me wonders if maybe, that was her goal. Maybe by including the dog story in her book, Noem was sending a signal to Trump that she wouldn’t flinch to do the cruel, dirty work that maga wants done. And now here she is, doing dirty work.






  • Even prior to the May 2020 OIC that reclassified AR pattern & other firearms to prohibited status, Canada had a pre-existing, highly restrictive system of firearm regulation. This system remains in force.

    Citizens who want to purchase a firearm need to undergo mandatory education, and a rigorous, lengthy, and costly application process that obligates the applicant to list comprehensive personal details, including previous romantic partners, and multiple character references. Every applicant undergoes an RCMP background check, and restricted firearm licensees undergo daily checks. No license for firearm ownership is given in Canada without direct RCMP oversight. The RCMP can deny a license to anyone they see fit. Citizens can report problem firearm owners, and those owners can expect a rapid visit from the RCMP.

    Restricted firearms are only allowed at an approved range, or trigger locked, in a locked case, and away from ammunition. Any other condition of storage and use is a crime.

    You should know that, in Canada, it is absolutely impossible to buy or own a firearm on a whim.

    For the record, I think this is overall a good thing, and was a system brought about as a result of Polytechnique in 1989.
