The War on Guns

Adventures in Baselessness

The top Justice Department prosecutor for civil liberties and voting rights tells Just the News that her ongoing review of state voter rolls has proven tens of thousands of noncitizens made it into a position to cast ballots and that hundreds of thousands of dead or departed residents were not properly removed from state election systems. [More]

What could possibly motivate “state election offices and federal judges [to block] her office from her historic effort to obtain and review every state’s voter roll ahead of the 2026 midterm elections”…?

Especially if suspicions about voter fraud are “baseless” conspiracy theories promoted by white supremacist Nazi fascists intent on disenfranchising minority voters by requiring proof of citizenship/ID…?

The left-wing government’s plans to scrap jury trials for most cases in Britain cleared a major hurdle on Tuesday as Members of Parliament backed legislation to advance it to the next stage of the lawmaking process. [More]

Fueling the Fire

From Biden’s ‘war’ on gas prices to ‘small price to pay,’ GOP shifts tone as Iran conflict hits pumps – Gas prices jumped 50 cents per gallon since Operation Epic Fury began, reaching $3.54 average nationwide [More]

So, with a “war” under Trump it’s basically .02/gal. more than in Biden’s heyday.

Nobody remembers the sacrifices that had to be made by “the greatest generation”– and the sacrifices they required of enemy civilian populations.

Ol’ Clausewitz was right, and it’s pretty obvious the freak-out-over-no-toilet-paper generation will fold like a cheap suit and vote in communists if subjected to what would previously have been considered inconveniences.

And don’t get me wrong– I’m still not convinced that the course we’re on is the best one, I’m merely making an observation about the fortitude of an electorate that more often than not asks what their country can do for them.

Oh, look: There is no joy in Mudville.

Taking the Guns First…

Unbelievable stats out of Michigan on Red Flag orders. Almost 90% = no trial or hearing. Only 7.2% ever charged with ANY crime, which includes resisting the seizure of their guns. Any Republican who ever said "red flag with due process" needs to repent, stat. https://t.co/Hna6vhvbYj

About That Debunked Great Replacement Conspiracy

Don’t tell me.

Tell The Guardian.

And yes, the anti-gun position IS immoral.

Anyone who needs that explained has no business writing about the Second Amendment, let alone being considered a leading authority on it.

Hoist with His Own Petard?

American gun owners got quite a chuckle nine months ago when California Gov. Gavin Newsom was gifted a Sig Sauer P365-Xmacro pistol while appearing on podcaster Shawn Ryan’s Tennessee-based program, and their amusement is continuing as media reports note the far-left Democrat still can’t get his pistol because of Golden State gun control laws. [More]

I wasn’t chuckling.

And Newsom doesn’t care. He doesn’t have to.

The People Have Spoken

From Texas Scorecard, via email:

How that translates into electability is anybody’s guess, but anyone who says Texas will go solidly and reliably “red” may have a point, if you go back to the original understanding of the term.

And that’s just the way Joe Rogan likes it.

Courageous Tibet Refuses to Succumb to CCP Repression… [More]

But they can only go so far:

Gun laws in Tibet are governed by the strict national regulations of the People’s Republic of China, which enforce some of the world’s tightest controls. Civilian firearm ownership is generally prohibited, with exceptions limited to specific hunting permits or, occasionally, for certain ethnic minorities. Personal possession of firearms is forbidden, with guns primarily reserved for military, police, and approved security personnel. Violations, including unauthorized possession, carry severe penalties under Chinese law. 中国人大网 +2

I see from a buildup of negative comments on X by those who refuse to consider the evidence that I can spend my time today trying to get those who will not see to look, or I can do something I find productive and rewarding.

We’ll see if anybody writes a “critique” outside of social media. From the arguments I’ve seen so far, deconstructing them won’t be hard– the trick is getting anyone to listen.

Gun Groups Failing Members by Ignoring Immigration Threat

With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]

There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?

I mean, who would believe it if you told them that CNN would turn an Islamist terrorist attack on New York City into a tale of two brothers minding their own business until they were forced to protest the injustice of white supremacists who were committing an Islamophobic hate crime? [More]

We’re the Only Ones Inexperienced Enough

I would bet that the vast majority of all NYPD officers never even touched a real firearm until after they joined the department and were sent to the range. After all, guns and gun owners are bad, right? [More]

That’s not far off from what a retired NYPD Sergeant and firearms instructor, whom I actually developed a cordial relationship with, told me over several evenings of drinks and cigars.

Safe Storage

The bill does not force any retailer to provide firearm storage, nor does it micromanage the agreement between them and a firearm owner… Additionally, the bill does not mandate storage by any firearm owner, nor does it provide a pathway for others to do so without the owner’s consent. [More]

Those would have been my two main concerns.

I guess I’m lucky this is not a situation I’ll likely find myself in. You know, because I don’t own guns– evil, nasty things always going around killing people…

Not Exactly Matt Dillon* But So What?

Now, Dhillon has made no mention of being an experienced shooter. She’s not pretending that she’s an expert shot or anything like that. She’s learning. However, people criticizing her for not being an expert was troubling, to say the least. [More]

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
