The War on Guns – Notes from the Resistance

Time Out

Timeout

Some of you trying to get into WarOnGuns this morning may have gotten back a “429 Too many requests” error message.

What’s happening is this site is on a shared server, and when the host gets more traffic than it can handle, either because there are too many users or bots are overwhelming it, everyone is frozen out, even me.

The solution is to pay for a private server, something I’m contemplating but have mixed feeling about, because this site is not a revenue generator and I have to decide if the number of readers I get makes it worth the money to me. Based on the stats, I’m torn.

Per my longstanding policy, when I ask readers to make donations for something it is never for me, and that’s not going to change. I am looking at what my options are, including with another host, but for the time being all I can suggest is if you really want to get in and can’t, please wait and try again. If that’s too much of an ask with the information I try to provide and the work required to present it in a unique way, then that kind of answers the question.

Sorry. That’s the best I got at this time.

New Jersey Democrats Increase Prior Restraint Poll Tax

On July 20, the New Jersey State Police Firearms Investigation Unit sent a memo to New Jersey FFLs announcing a 200% increase in the NICS portal administration fee to support “system enhancements” that will include a new portal for dealers and instructors, yet with no definitive rollout date or effective date for either the portal or the fee increase. [More]

Can you imagine being an “Only One” enforcing New Jersey citizen disarmament edicts and calling yourself an American?

The Times, They are a-Changin’

“I knew Sandusky as a safe place. You could walk the streets at night with nobody bothering you and we didn’t have to worry about all these guns,” Burge said. Sandusky police say the increase in gun violence has been seen nationwide, and in the summer, they deal with many shooting incidents. [More]

You’re worried about the wrong things, Burge, and as for the propaganda being spewed by incentivized Sandusky “Only Ones,” no less a source than Giffords is forced to admit:

Gun Violence Continues to Drop – The CDC just released its data detailing the impact of gun violence in America in 2024. In 2024, the US saw record declines in gun violence, with the gun death rate falling at its highest percentage since 1995.

Far be it from “real reporter” Maya Lockett to do the minute of “research” it took for #justablogger to find that out.

Calling All Fudds

Mannyrtunelgun

Colorado Dem Manny Rutinel Served as Fellow at University Law Program Tied to Accused Ecoterrorists and Claims of Insect Sentience – The University of Denver’s Animal Law Program, where Rutinel served as a fellow, is run by a Harvard-trained lawyer who said there’s ‘no principled reason’ for elephants to be ‘deprived of legal personhood’ [More]

So when his endorsers pretend they support hunting and sport shooting, they’re lying…?

A Subject Matter Expert

A man who was convicted of first-degree murder as an accomplice and spent 27 years in Pennsylvania state prisons has been teaching students at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School about ending mass incarceration. [More]

Plus the commies want to legalize stealing…

Pretty soon the only crimes left are going to be not enthusiastically parroting Party dogma and owning a gun…

A Fleeting Glance

The documents show that Fleet Farm firearms compliance specialist Michelle Granato never answered an email from employee Cory Klebs flagging a series of purchases he deemed suspicious in July 2021. [More]

I’ve addressed this case before.

When you know the types of environment you’re operating in, especially with Commie Keith being the state’s top gungrab enforcer, and you ignore vulnerability warnings, well, it sounds like Michelle’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Today’s Low-Hanging Fruit Report

Jessica Bowie: “I want to destroy as much of the building as possible and kill the senators while they are meeting”… An FBI confidential human source (CHS-1) posed “as an ISIS facilitator” while communicating with Bowie between July 16, 2026, and August 17, 2026, on a messaging platform. [More]

That’s why I’m always real careful about where I post my domestic terror plans and I don’t just share them with anybody.

Wake me when they arrest people who aren’t retarded mental cases and have the competence to make bad things happen.

And There was War in Heaven

AOC blasted as too moderate by Maoist DSA faction as 2028 buzz grows – The Marxist-Leninist-Maoist caucus called AOC an ‘opportunist dilettante’ over her stance on ‘Palestine’ and policing [More]

Like Bolsheviks are going to keep Mensheviks around after they take over…

Funny. They don’t want us to know the names behind them.

How can any of their guys take the required oath of office to support the Constitution without perjuring themselves?

Be great if they were really our guys.

Who will Judge the Judge?

Old Jorge Ortiz seems to have a bad temperament though, which explains his recent (8/12/26) behavior in court where he allowed Everytown to force Smith & Wesson to produce all M&P 15 ads so they (Everytown/plaintiffs) can cherry pick which ad they THINK triggered Robert Crimo III to commit the mass shooting (yes, they can’t point to a singular ad, which this case is based on S&W advertising (as well as Bud’s and Red Dot Arms transferring legally) and Everytown hasn’t picked a single ad and the judge has allowed a phishing expedition to find one even if it’s NOT anything Crimo saw)…. [More]

That and he supports Judge Elizabeth Conflict of Interest Rochford…

An Illinois “Republican,” eh…?

Out Standing News

I’m happy to report that the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Judge Reed O’Connor, in the case of Defense Distributed vs Blanche, has just issued a fantastic opinion in favor of Defense Distributed and the Second Amendment Foundation … specifically finding that Defense Distributed has standing to challenge various Second Amendment issues, including gun control laws … and that the Second Amendment Foundation… has standing to sue on behalf of its members under the doctrine of what is known as associational standing. [Watch]

Another important point to add to the basics of the case.

A Special Educator

A special education teacher who recruited black people to “shoot some guns” and “rob some white people” is now banned from the school where she worked and is under police investigation. [More]

So, in other words, someone who feeds at the public trough… and is imposed on the most impressionable among us as an authority figure.

Good thing black people can’t be racist!

Who wouldn’t “act nervous” with these two armed coercers obviously out to try and intimidate a citizen into giving them an excuse to destroy his life?

I’d like to see Goodling and Glathorn getting squeezed by Internal Affairs and then ask them what they’ve got to hide by demanding counsel and standing on their rights.

Hardly a Coincidence

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

But the BBC’s headline lays down their take on the problem in the dumbest way possible: “Thailand has a gun problem – 10 million of them” [More]

To paraphrase Rhett Butler, anti-gun Authorized Journalists, particularly British ones like the enuretic wanker who wrote the BBC propaganda piece, deserve to be raped, and often, and by someone who knows how.

That said, Thailand most certainly does have a “gun problem.”

Attention-Getting

Tate Adamiak has been in prison longer under President Trump than under Biden [More]

In fairness, how many of the thousands I have shared Lee’s work with here and on social media have added their voices to those asking for a pardon? The only comment I got to this was an excuse for not helping.

If a wheel squeaks and no one hears it does it make a difference?

Yet another reason why I’ve been calling for Task Force consulting participation. Why I appear to be the only one is another story.

Unbrace Yourself

Can a gun owner covered by the NFA injunction replace a pistol brace with a stock and make an SBR without filing a Form 1? Attorneys directly involved in the Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF litigation have released new analysis addressing that question—and several other major issues surrounding the injunction. [Watch]

We always could. It was just a matter of if you were willing to risk having agents of tyranny ruin your life and/or kill you and yours over it.

Fade to Black

Brittanyblackmoms

Democrat Texas House candidate Brittany Black has a criminal history in Illinois that includes a felony cocaine conviction, a drunken driving conviction, and multiple arrests dating back nearly two decades. [More]

So she aids and abets murderous cartels and turf-warring street gangs and risks the lives of the public through chronic irresponsible lack of self control, yet she and the Bloomberg hags presume she should be empowered to disarm and control those of us who do not share her criminal and moral defects.

As asked before, and I’ll keep asking, is there anyone who is not a reprobate, a criminal, or a lying subversive that Moms Demand doesn’t endorse?

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.
