New Mexico: Senate Committee to Hear Sweeping Gun Control Bill [More]
It would help if the included link to the bill didn’t go to one about parole…

Getting What They Voted For
Survey SAYS…
New Poll Shatters Narrative: Voters Overwhelmingly Back Deportations and ICE – “Americans support deporting those in the country illegally by a [nearly] 2-to-1 margin, 61% to 34%.” [More]
We’ll see at the only poll that matters.

The THING That Would Not Leave
Anti-gun group 97Percent is back, now led by anti-gun ex-cop [More]
I’ve been warning against these Astro-Turfers since they first came on the scene and pretty consistently thereafter. I see “lifelong Republican” Olivia Troye needs a new gig, but before worrying she’ll suffer the same fate as Ladd, take heart: I just saw her in the news the other day where she predicted another six weeks of winter.
Brace Yourselves
They say that the court cannot enjoin the ATF from enforcing legal theories, only final agency rules. They argue that because the pistol brace rule no longer exists, the court has no authority to block the ATF’s interpretation that brace pistols are in fact SBRs. In other words, they are not denying that they hold that legal view at all. They are only saying that the court cannot stop them from using it. And that is a huge red flag. And so in this case, they’re saying, you know, the rule is dead. Throw this case out, but you cannot touch any underlying legal theories that we have because that’s not an at issue in this case.

In the Kapu Tradition
Requires businesses or restaurants open to the public to post a color-coded placard indicating whether the business or restaurant allows firearms or large knives to be brought onto the premises. By January 1, 2027, requires the Department of Law Enforcement to provide businesses and restaurants with free and easily downloadable placards. Effective 1/1/2027. [More]
From this un-American who presents himself as the opposite… Hey, if he can exploit copyrighted characters for political campaigning, does that constitute a reportable in-kind contribution?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE
Babylon Bee Defeats Hawaii Law That Forbids Political Satire [More]
I guess if you can ignore the Second Amendment with no personal cost, why would you be worried about subverting the First?
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, Hawaii Democrats deserve to be ridiculed, and often, and by someone who knows how.

We’re the Only Ones Meanwhile Across the Pond Enough
One of many lessons from our hearings today. In many cases, the police were complicit in these rapes. I do not say that lightly. The lack of any desire to investigate these men is criminal. It happened again and again and again. And yes. It’s mainly because the rapists were Muslims. [More]
You gotta wonder at what point — if any — normal men will hoist the black flag.
Not there, they’re cooked. Here.
As long as bellies are still full and there’s something to lose all we’ll hear are grumblings. Let the supply system break and things will happen fast.

Updated Illustrated Enfield Book as Matchless as the Rifle

Sinking to New Mean-Spirited Depths
Angry hard core MAGA types attacking Massie and making $#!+ up show how ugly they are and do more damage to their cause and than they know. I voted for Trump three times myself because the alternative was unthinkable, but with eyes wide open on his record and contradictions.
A word about loyalty to the leader as opposed to the Constitution– it’s not a good look for a party that has a tough enough time refuting “Nazi” charges.”
And Gallrein talked a good game on 2A but did not answer all of the questions.
The Hidden Cost
In a significant development for Second Amendment litigation, the United States Department of Justice has filed an amicus curiae brief with the First Circuit Court of Appeals, supporting Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) in its ongoing challenge to Massachusetts’s controversial handgun regulations. The case, Granata v. Campbell, targets the state’s “Approved Firearms Roster” and Attorney General’s handgun sales regulations, which plaintiffs argue unconstitutionally ban the commercial sale of handguns that are in common use nationwide.

So.. they basically shored up the trap…?

AI detectors are in the spotlight again after one of them flagged the 1776 Declaration of Independence as 99.99% AI written. [More]
I’m reminded of another article I meant to comment on, where Shyam Sankar talks a slick game but goes real light on “How?” I read “Palantir” and Skynet comes to mind.
Billionaires like Elon promising us a guaranteed income are whistling past the graveyard of history. A purposeless welfare state of surfeit hardly seems like a viable plan, and actually comes across more like mass suicide and blasphemy.

CPSC evaluated these safes and found that the biometric programming feature can fail without consumers realizing that the safe’s contents, including firearms, can be accessed by unauthorized users, including children. [More]
And if the key gets lost, with Stack-On you can always use a crowbar…
Hey, expanding things a bit, does Biofire, endorsed by all those experts including NRA and NSSF, come with a key– just in case? And if “fingerprint and 3D facial recognition systems … verify your identity in any situation,” does that mean vindictive Democrat prosecutors can subpoena the data and use it against you?
Judging Jeanine
“You bring a gun into the district, you mark my words, you’re going to jail,” Pirro said in the interview. “I don’t care if you have a license in another district, and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this district, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back.” [More]

Rocky Mountain Low
A new bill introduced in Colorado would require gun barrel purchases to be made in-person at a firearm dealer. Senate Bill 26-043, which was introduced last week, would also ban the possession of any firearm barrels “with the intent to sell or transfer” and add criminal penalties for violation… Sullivan and Froelich are also sponsoring Senate Bill 26-004, which would expand the state’s “Red Flag” law by adding a list of “institutional petitioners” that could petition a court for an Extreme Risk Protection Order.

Curiously, none of these people will appear at your door.

A Win, for Now
Breaking the Bank
JPMorgan Chase recently announced the banking giant’s policy of denying services to manufacturers of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) is over. That’s a welcome reversal of policy after NSSF met with JPMorgan Chase officials to work to end the discriminatory policy. It is also the most recent of the big banks, including Bank of America and Citigroup that have shifted banking service policies that previously froze out members of the firearm industry. [More]
About damn time for all of them, and Morgan has been particularly offensive.
Now, what about “Merchant Category Codes“?
Hey, when the house of cards collapses, who’s in for more “too big to fail” bailouts?
And not to put too fine a point to it, but MSR seems counterproductive to me.
