Gun sales increase by 15 percent after Beto O'Rourke threaten confiscation

Self Reliance Central:

Americans surged into gun stores to buy firearms as Democrat presidential candidates competed with one another to see who could propose the most gun bans.

The number of gun sales reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in August 2019 was 15.2 percent larger than the number reported in August 2018, the National Shooting Sports Federation reports. That figure is the second-highest ever recorded for August, behind only August 2016 as it appeared anti-gun Hillary Clinton could possibly be elected President.

That battle among Democrats for the title of Biggest Gun Confiscator appears to have been won by former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who pushed away decades of Democrat claims they weren’t going to confiscate guns by flatly promising “We’re coming for your AR-15.” O’Rourke even sold t-shirts emblazoned with his promise to confiscate privately-owned guns from peaceable Americans.
...
One dealer put his entire inventory of AR-15 on sale and sold in one day.  Democrats are writing off the votes of gun owners and the votes of those in the oil and gas business.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
