A Public/Private Partnership

Gun-detection technology has been installed at more than 200 Utah schools… “The test will involve a representative from ZeroEyes, wearing a safety vest and carrying an Airsoft rifle and an Airsoft pistol,” meant to be visible to security cameras inside and outside an unspecified number of Ogden schools, the notice reads. [More]

So, all you need is a trench coat…?

And this promises to be every bit the boondoggle as ShotSpotter…?

I guess when there’s money to spend, actual effective solutions can be avoided.

On the plus side, it ought to give school resource officers plenty of options for hunkering down…

What a Difference a Day Makes

What Trump Says He Will Do on Day One [More]

I could have sworn he created a very public expectation about guns:

“Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day.”

And more:

“[S]tarting the minute that Crooked Joe shuffles his way out of the White House at noon on Inauguration Day, we will sack the anti-gun fanatic Steve Dettelbach … and replace him with an ATF director who respects the sacred rights to keep and bear arms.”

OK, Dettelbach sacked himself, but we’ll have to see if his replacement is a priority, and what difference he will make.

And again:

“Under a Trump Administration, all of those Biden disasters get ripped up and torn out my first week, but maybe my first day in office,” the president declared “Okay maybe my first.”

How Not to Hang Yourself

What Should You Say to 911? [Watch]

Assume the 3-S treatment is just too high-risk…

I’m wondering, if you had to defend yourself against “Only One” criminality, if you might want to call some additional witnesses and counsel to the scene before the “first responders”…

Buckeye Bolsheviks

The public college in a deep-red state that blows $13M on DEI and fighting ‘whiteness’ [More]

Now tell us how much they’ve spent on the John Glenn Second Amendment Research Center, headed until recently by Saul Cornell, or as I call him, the Slippin’ Jimmy of the revisionist history movement.

Speaking of Vichycon Swine…

Multiple Republicans voted for gun confiscations without due process in HB-4144 [More]

Until gun owners let the GOP know they cannot betray us and win, this will continue. They need uncompromising gun owners more than uncompromising gun owners need them.

So does that mean I’d rather let a really, really anti-gun Democrat win the seat instead?

Does that mean you’d surrender your guns if they did?

GUNS SAVE LIFE WINS AGAIN: 2nd order striking down the Cook County Gun & Ammo tax… [More]

Why do I feel like Democrat are just going to change the deck and shuffle again, and never stop- until there’s a personal price to pay?

Words and Deeds

Joe Rogan: America Has ‘Unique Freedom’ Because 1st Amendment Protected By 2nd Amendment [More]

So, why did he use his oversized influence to stump for gun-grabbing communist Bernie?

I don’t get the “conervative” and “gunfluencer” fascination with this guy. He’s every bit the phony carnival barker Michael Savage was.

Requiescat in Pace

On January 6, 2025, the Second Amendment community lost one of its most dedicated champions. Joanne D. Eisen passed away after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, leaving behind a legacy of tireless advocacy and impactful writings. [More]

This is sad news. We have lost a leader.

May her name be remembered with appreciation and gratitude for her work. That probably means more than a few gun owners need to discover for themselves what that work was.

None Dare Call It Aiding and Abetting

Biden DHS exempted thousands of immigrants from terror-related entry restrictions in FY 2024 [More]

So, the blood will be on their hands when a “gun-free zone” in a deep blue city is exploited and the kneejerk reaction is to blame “lax gun laws.”

These people hate their country.

Those Who Can’t

You’re looking at the new Global Studies teacher… [Watch]

Well, that didn’t last long:

Teacher arrested after threat that shut down NJ school district, police say…

I wonder what he said on his YouTube channel and if the school district knew about it.

If they take down his Facebook reel I recorded it with my phone camera because they say if it’s someone else’s reel it will be muted and I didn’t trust a third-party app.

Senate Should Demand Unequivocal Answers from Bondi on Second Amendment

I believe in asking political candidates and nominees specific questions that demand unequivocal answers… [More]

Or they could just give her a pass for “I believe in the Second Amendment BUT…”

Your Terms of Surrender

House Bill 12 by Rep. Joy Garratt (D-ABQ) allows law enforcement officers to bypass the need for a “reporting party” and go straight to filing a petition for an extreme risk protective order based on information collected by the officers — allowing them to be the sole source and mechanism by which an order is issued. [More]

And there’s another that makes owning attachments a felony.

Obey or be destroyed.

From the People Who Would Benefit Politically from You Being Dead

SB25-003, Colorado’s newly filed “Assault Weapons” Semi-Auto Firearm bill will ban all rifles and shotguns that accept detachable magazines, along with many semi-auto pistols that accept detachable magazines. If enacted, the Colorado Attorney General would have the power and authority to further define the nuanced and often contradictory bill language. [More]

They’re just trying to help their goals along.

What’s Not to Like?

This document articulates a global vision for the unrestricted right to keep and bear arms, framing it not as a legal entitlement but as a fundamental human right transcending national boundaries. It establishes a universal principle meant to resist regulation, encouraging builders to adopt a mindset of perpetual innovation and resilience against regulatory and societal constraints. Moreover, the Urutau release also includes two additional guides, detailed tips and strategies for maintaining operational security (OpSec) and employing obfuscation techniques, equipping builders with both practical know-how to construct the firearm and tactical knowledge to avoid detection. [More]

They say that like it’s a bad thing…

We’re the Only Ones Slamming Enough

A Florida cop was watching pornography on his phone when he slammed his patrol car into a vehicle stopped ahead of him, according to an internal affairs report that accused the deputy of initially lying about the accident. [More]

So the gripping story didn’t reach a climax…?

Flip or Flop

No Surprise: Tulsi Gabbard Flip-Flops on Spying in Desperate Bid to Save Nomination… (REALLY EASY IQ Test: Are you surprised by any Gabbard flip-flop?)… (REALLY TOUGH IQ Test: Has Gabbard actually changed her position on anything, ever?) [More]

That’s what I want to know.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Major Victory’ Is

GOP Lawmakers Might Be Poised to Score a Major Second Amendment Victory [More]

If you call further codifying permits for rights as the national standard, continued state infringements, and salvaging deservedly tarnished reputations a “major victory”…

Not that it will pass. Or not be tied up in courts until the pendulum swings back to Democrats.
