A Preventable Tragedy

“It was brutal. Seeing the same woman I’ve loved for the last 25-30 years just ripped apart by two animals was just … I’ll never get that image out of my mind,” Smith said. Smith said he and others had previously warned the sheriff’s office about the dogs. [More]

Not to Monday Morning Quarterback or anything, but you both knew there’s a danger and lived in a permitless carry state …

My next thought was to wonder if either of them were under a mandated firearms disability.

Sorry, I don’t mean to exploit tragedy and grief, but I doubt her survivors will ever see this blog post and even if any do it’s gotta be said– if it can save one life.

There is Just One Place that Can Light (Up) My Face

A legal battle that began before the iPhone was invented ended Thursday as the Indiana Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from the city of Gary over a ruling that killed a lawsuit against 11 gun manufacturers. [More]

That’s the town that knew me when

The place sure has gone downhill.

Kris Brown… what can I say that wouldn’t be true?

We’re the Only Ones Unconventional Enough

Hawaii Convention Center Bans Off-Duty Police Officers from Carrying Firearms [More]

That’ll probably violate their own department policies, but welcome to the party, pals.

Registration List Volunteers Update

DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL RELEASES ANNUAL “LICENSE TO CARRY” FIREARMS STATISTICS [More]

What he hell does “found to be lacking the essential character or temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm” mean?

Hate Monger Hasan

Hasan Kwame Jeffries, the younger brother of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, is a professor of history at Ohio State University. In a recent social media post, he invoked the violence of John Brown, suggesting ‘white supremacy’ should be ended “by any means necessary.” [More]

And, of course, a white supremacist is whoever he says is a white supremacist.

Hey, taxpayers from a state that’s @75% white people are treating this guy pretty good.

We’re the Only Ones Homewrecking Enough

Appeals Court Upholds Ruling That City Must Compensate Innocent Woman After SWAT Team Destroyed Her Home [More]

There are bastards in positions of power who made the decsions to fight her, and every one of them took an oath to a Constitution with a prime directive “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Name names. Expose them for their part in this. Drive them out.

About That ‘New’ NRA…

URGENT ACTION ALERT: BETRAYAL IN CONCORD – YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING SOLD OUT BY THE SENATE AND WEAK-KNEED “PRO-GUN” REPUBLICANS… with the apparent blessing and consent of the NRA’s own State Director Joe LoPorto … this is exactly what happens when the NRA inflates grades for “pro-gun” politicians who talk tough but fold when it counts. [More]

Looks a lot like the old one to me…

Any “Reform Candidates” care to speak up?

Jersey Devil

The Office of New Jersey Attorney General Davenport has sent subpoenas to New Jersey federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) demanding detailed records pertaining to sales of Glock firearms from January 2016 until June 15, 2026, News2A recently learned. The action, which is related to the December 2024 lawsuit brought against Glock called Davenport v. Glock (formerly Platkin v. Glock), could create a public record doxing New Jersey gun owners who have purchased Glock pistols, along with personally identifiable information… “This is a logistical nightmare. It could take some people years to comply with this,” one New Jersey FFL owner told News2A. [More]

So, have any prominent FFLs pledged to refuse to comply and not give up names?

Would you submit to this?

Cornyn Rejects Texas GOP Call To Pull Negative Ads [More]

All you really need to know:

If you think Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, wait ’til this guy loses. Don’t be surprised to see him become a Lincoln Project-style useful idiot talking head for the Democrat propaganda machine along their lines of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Keepin’ It Real

Today, Congressman Jimmy Patronis (R-FL) introduced the Firearm Freedom Act, legislation to eliminate the 1986 Hughes Amendment, which banned the purchase, ownership, and transfer of machine guns and limited Americans’ Second Amendment rights. This is the first time legislation has been introduced to fully repeal the provision. [More]

Prognosis:

1% chance of being enacted

Jimmy knows that.

At least it’s more hopeful than the Freedom from Taxes Act.

A Line in the Sand

Marine vet prosecutor refuses to cross constitutional line on Spanberger ‘assault weapon’ ban – Commonwealth Attorney Ryan Mehaffey said the new Virginia gun ban ‘is striking at the core of the militia system’ [More]

What’s a Law repugnant to the Constitution, again…?

No Ted Olson, he…

This is a major beef I have with apologists for the administration making excuses that they have to defend the law. No, they don’t.

Now all we need is an actual militia system with a core. Anybody see any bills proposing that?

If more took this stand it would galvanize and spread.

Eviction Notice

YouTube Has Removed Big Horn Armory… The strikes came after YouTube quietly updated its firearms policy. The new version effectively prohibits the handling of firearms in videos – which means virtually everything we’ve ever published is now a violation of its standards, regardless of when it was posted or whether it complied with the rules that existed at the time. [More]

How widespread is this, really? Will we see mass content removals now? Will Hollywood be exempt?

So my family video may be in violation after all…?

Will “GunTubers” be switching to Rumble…?

Glass Houses

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was lampooned on social media for using a bulletproof shield on wheels while delivering a race-baiting rant on “voting rights.” [More]

She wants attention so badly she’s willing to provoke the low-hanging fruit. Maybe, like hate hoaxes, she can get one of her own who won’t get caught to take a badly-aimed shot so she can then play bold almost-martyr…

Maybe instead of the Popemobile she can get driven around in the Dopemobile…

MacArthur Park is Melting in the Dark

A California man who claimed to work for a taxpayer-funded nonprofit that, according to court documents, distributed needles to drug users in Los Angeles’ notorious MacArthur Park was busted for allegedly attempting to sell fentanyl, authorities said. [More]

Hey, if Big Weasel can do it

What do the long-known conditions of this tax-funded park say about Democrat government?

House of Cards

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 1. The Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Act (“FOID Card Act”), 430 ILCS 65/0.01 et seq., entirely deprives everyone of the right to keep and bear arms— including the basic right to possess a firearm for self-defense in the home—unless and until they seek and receive the State’s permission. 2. To possess any type of firearm or ammunition in Illinois—anywhere, for any length of time—one must first obtain a Firearm Owners Identification (“FOID”) card from the Illinois State Police. This requires one to initiate and prevail in an administrative proceeding—in which the burden of proof is on the individual at every step, and which may take 30 days, 90 days, or even longer. Any violation of this requirement is a crime. [More]

Just like the Framers intended when they penned “shall not be infringed,” no doubt.

Washington Gun Law analyzes the complaint.

Speaking of Restorative Justice…

DOJ moves to erase seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys in Jan. 6 cases [More]

I don’t really know anything about Proud Boys but I can say if Oath Keepers had wanted to engage in sedition they had the capability to go in armed and tactically coordinated, and based on the LE performance we all saw, take over the place.
