Keystone Cop-Outs

Democratic Pennsylvania state Rep. Dan Frankel introduced HB 2506 Monday, which would wipe out the state’s firearms preemption law, allowing local governments to enact their own restrictions on how gun owners could carry, transport, purchase or possess firearms. The legislation, introduced alongside HB 2505, also would repeal the state’s version of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, potentially opening gun manufacturers to lawsuits over the actions of criminals.

Well… this is helpful.

Not the first time I’ve noticed.

Don’t be too hard on Pamela, LaShay, and Tatjana.

It’s not like their predecessors excelled.

Besides, we should be so fortunate as to get their pensions.

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

An affidavit says that the shooting happened after a fight broke out between members of rival gangs who were at the party. Those involved in the fight began firing among the crowd, striking multiple people at the party. [More]

What conclusion could any reasonable person come to other than there are too many guns?

I can’t argue with his indictments. It’s just that I see no viable movement with a plan, organization, supporters, and resources to make this work any better than last time.

Which is why the Three Percent is still the best fail-safe, so naturally, the most disparaged.

The Trump Administration Is a Powerful but Unreliable Ally of Second Amendment Advocates – Even as the Justice Department files lawsuits aimed at vindicating gun rights, it undermines them in other cases. [More]

I’d use a different word than “unreliable”…

I wonder what it would take to fix that

It’s ‘Gun Rights Leader’-Approved!

A Florida gun owner says he spent two weeks in jail because the government’s background-check machinery treated an old Kentucky misdemeanor as if it were a felony. [More]

NICS… isn’t that the prior restraint infringement hailed by NSSF as a “real solution,” and “applauded” by NRA…?

And endorsed by Bloomberg’s The Trace…?

Back to the Drawing Board

The Supreme Court of Maryland has found Montgomery County does not have the authority under state law to prohibit wear-and-carry permit holders from bringing guns within 100 yards of certain public places… It now heads back to the Montgomery County Circuit Court in Rockville for further proceedings…   [More]

Not exactly the “HUGE WIN!” some are calling it…

While Rome Burns

But…but…but she’s a Gun Sense Candidate (as well as a radical communist sympathizer, so figure that one out).

It looks like Spencer Pratt thinks “You can never have enough guns in your house.”

Don’t worry, our illustrious leaders are hard at work making political ads like this illegal (anybody see a disclaimer or AI/satire notice?). Figures Brian Fitzpatrick would be on board to give Democrats the fraudulent claim of being “bipartisan.”

Not a Good Look

They seem like reasonable questions for voters to want answers to.

Then again, I thought all mine were, too, and while he answered some, he ignored others.

It didn’t have to be this way.

And once more, NRA shows it has learned nothing:

They’re still smarting over the last time they tried to f_ him over with a fraudulent replacement because they wanted to insert Fix NICS into the reciprocity bill.

Next time NRA begs you for money, tell them you’re sending it to Massie instead.

The Bestest Infringements Ever!

Electronic record-keeping would become the default under another proposed rule, which would allow Form 4473s and Acquisition and Disposition Records to be generated, stored, and maintained electronically. Not only would this make record-keeping more convenient for dealers, but it would also improve firearm tracing for law enforcement since digital records are faster and easier to search than paper files.

What could go wrong? Especially if administrations change…?

I’m wondering why this is listed under “Big Wins for Gun Owners”…

There I go blackpilling again.

Look, I get that there is only so much they can do because “law,” and think I understand incrementalism as well as the next guy, but the way I see “gun influencers” gushing over this and over Cekada makes some apologists for and abettors in infringements.

There are ways to encourage moves to roll back the oppression that don’t require gun owners to end up with sore knees and from a lot of what I’ve seen, Anon has a point.

We’re the Only Ones Deplaned Enough

Loaded ammunition magazine found on Frontier flight at DIA belonged to a ‘law enforcement officer,’ airline says [More]

In case you needed more proof to substantiate that they’re more qualified to keep and bear arms than you or me…

Who was he? Was he an air marshal? How did he get thought TSA? It seems none of the officials want to give more details– no doubt because us non-LEOs just wouldn’t understand.

None Dare Call It Treason

Add to that foreign agents for the Chicoms

What’s funny is AI tells me she was a 2026 “gun sense candidate” but I can’t find anything else to substantiate it, so we’re either dealing with another “hallucination” or a multifaceted cleanup effort.

Deliberately Uncaged Wild Animal Attacks

Memorial Drive shooting suspect went to prison over previous shootout with police, sources confirm [More]

Don’t worry. Those who decided he could be trusted outside of custodial care won’t suffer any personal repercussions.

Funny, how this report doesn’t mention the armed citizen who intervened. (Pro tip to the ones that do: “Marine” should be capitalized.)

I just don’t have time to watch this DA press conference, but am told:

The head of the Cambridge Police as well as the Colonel of the MSP did not acknowledge the role of the “civilian” in this, only the bravery of the responding officers, who mostly arrived after the shooting was done.
