   The kids with pistols in their hands are keeping those pistols pointed in a safe direction and seem to be keeping their fingers off the triggers.

   What part of Article II, Section 6 of the NM State Constitution is Tim Keller unwilling to understand?

   No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms. (As amended November 2, 1971 and November 2, 1986.)

   If Keller is a true believer in these sorts of victim disarmament policies, then why doesn’t he reassign his APD protective detail to street patrol, or one of the detective squads?

   Why doesn’t Keller rely on nothing more than his cell phone and a T-shirt saying “NO GUNS ALLOWED AROUND ME” for his personal defense?

   I’m OK with the existing name — it’s simple and descriptive. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

   “The Constitution specifies the date of the presidential election as well as the inauguration.”

   Where exactly in the Constitution is it specified? (I couldn’t find it, but maybe some “educated,” “scientific” Democrat can find it.)

   Article, Section, and clause, please?

   This article might as well have been written by Bloomberg’s astroturf “Everytown” outfit, considering that Klein uses quite a few of that organization’s talking points:

   “I totally agree with City Councilor Sena, ACLU Director Simonson and Mayor Keller. I only wish they would show up at the next protest and ‘peacefully and lovingly’ tell those people in these pictures to put their guns away. These are armed protesters in Seattle and Louisville, Kentucky. Albuquerque doesn’t want their weapons of war on our streets.”

   “Take another look at the weapons these militia members are carrying. I am sure most of them have armor piercing bullets that will shred a police car, fire truck or ambulance.”

   “When you hear media accounts of how violent America’s police are, as compared to the United Kingdom and other first world countries, you must recognize that in America most people have weapons of war under their beds. In those other countries these weapons are prohibited.”

   “Of the 1,000 people who are killed yearly by American officers, the majority are armed with firearms, and many are armed with these weapons of war.”

   “Until we can make America a utopia of love, flowers, and ice cream shops, we must recognize that America has a love affair with guns, a lot of them military grade. These guns are in the hands of some very violent young men.”

   Agreed, Mr. Krangle — gun control is being safe, proficient and judicious in using your firearm.

   What the “gun control” (now “gun safety” or “gun reform” as they call themselves at present) advocates are after is more properly called *victim disarmament,* as the only people who will really be disarmed are those who need firearms for self-defense the most — the 5’0″ 100-pound woman who’s being stalked by her crazed 6’0″ 200-pound ex-boyfriend. But since she didn’t make out that check for 10 grand to the DNC-affiliated super-PAC, who cares about her, right?

   Completely bailing from Facebook might not be the best move at present, as some members won’t make the transition to the new platform.

   Last night’s temporary disappearance of the group looks to have been some sort of technical glitch.

   I suggest setting up similar groups on other platforms for when the Facebook admins do decide to crack down on its presence here, so that there is an alternate already in place and ready to go. Also, the group might pick up new people who want nothing to do with Facebook, but are otherwise compatible with the group.

   Creating backups on multiple platforms is the same sort of thing that I’ve done with New Mexico Libertarians:
