The War on Guns – Notes from the Resistance

Speaking of Fantasy

The mission should be Removing Gun Control from the agenda of the Democratic Party. [More]

Yeah, how you doing on that? After all these years, got any names that have done more than throw out an occasional crumb while empowering those going for the whole cake? How many more years do you project until you turn that around, and why not share your plan for changing the media narrative? In the meantime what happens?

Everybody realizes the Republicans are, for the most part, self-serving poltroons who need constant monitoring and course corrections. But again, for the most part, they’re our poltroons, and they’re the ones who can be pressured, if only by threats. Take that away and you open the door to more defections.

There are no true pro-2A Democrats. That’s a myth. WTF are self-described “no compromisers” doing promulgating this nonsense?

And speaking of being offensive, this character should know. You will know him by the company he keeps.

The $64,000 Question

Twice-deported illegal immigrant accused of trying to storm United cockpit, threatening bomb: DHS [More]

From comments:

How did he even get on the flight with all of the new ID and Passport Restrictions that have come into play the last couple of years????

Inquiring minds want to know.

Particularly the ones who have gone the extra miles to get certified with TSA Precheck and CLEAR.

Circle K Clerk Stops Robbery With Gun, Says He Was Fired for Defending Himself

Handgun 9mm istock 901659046 1536x864

It’s not property or money being threatened, after all, it’s human lives, and anyone evil and deranged enough to kill someone over that is no one to take any chances with—no matter what some petty human resources wonk from the relative security of their corporate DEI job says. [More]

This happened a couple miles from where I live. This kind of stuff didn’t used to happen here, but things have changed, including the fact that the area now votes Democrat. And they’re not getting better.

Slow Going Ahead

Climb

I’ll be taking a Me Day” to take advantage of today’s beautiful weather to go and familiarize myself with this, sent to me by friend Len Savage, who further modified it to make sure I’ll be super safe.

I was fortunate to get access to private land via a friend because ranges around here don’t much embrace these.

I expect there’ll be another AmmoLand article I drafted yesterday to publicize on my return — that is, assuming I just don’t hang out the rest of the day with pals and wait until tomorrow, when I also hope to get to already submitted news tips.

So Now WE’RE the Ones Pushing ‘Common Sense Gun Safety’ Laws?

NEW AMTRAK FIREARM TRANSPORT RULES MAKE SENSE, SAYS CCRKBA… “Your Second Amendment rights don’t end at the railroad tracks,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. [More]

They don’t end in the f_ing baggage car, either.

You wanna push this as an improvement over the way things were, fine. But what I’m feeling from this ain’t rain.

Around the World in a Daze

Like Tyler Robinson, the young man who assassinated Charlie Kirk, Temulun Togochog was seemingly normal before educational brainwashing. She loved America and was grateful to have escaped Communism before she went to university. But the University of Michigan has so brainwashed her that she violently attacked a Jewish student and screamed her desire to kill her. [More]

I don’t suppose sending her back to Mongolia is an option…?

And why does “No brainee to washee” come to mind? (@55 minutes in).

Which “Republicans” figure this is acceptable?

The Republicans are Tom Craddick of Midland, Pat Curry of Waco, Drew Darby of San Angelo, Jay Dean of Longview, Charlie Geren of Fort Worth, Todd Hunter of Corpus Christi, Ken King of Canadian, and J.M. Lozano of Kingsville.

The first name on the list is NRA-endorsed. So’s the second. And the third. And the fourth. And the fifth. And the sixth. And the seventh. Might as well make it unanimous.

Heck, she even gets three exclamation points from Shannon Watts!!!

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.
