Ozymandias
Ted Turner dies aged 87: Billionaire founded CNN and was married to Jane Fonda [More]
That ain’t the craziest thing he did:
[S]ome, like CNN founder Ted Turner, see an increase in military suicides as “good” because, as he told Piers Morgan (naturally), that will somehow pave the way for a more enlightened United Nations world policeman…
Mark 8:36 comes to mind… as does a favorite poem.

Typecasting
Bending the Truth
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said Monday the city will not bend the knee to a legal threat from the U.S. Department of Justice over the city’s longstanding assault weapons ban. [More]
That’s some industrial-strength gaslighting right there.
Anybody else getting an Iran vibe out of the administration offering a deal and having it rejected out of hand by people who think they can hold out until the clock runs out?
FAFO
Texas father shoots carjacker attempting to steal car [Watch]
But…but…but that’s not what “Only Ones” and gun-grabbers advise…

NRA Foundation Files Opposition Motion in Reply to NRA’s Request for Summary Judgment [More]
What a rabbit hole.
In terms of whose side I’m on, these people made themselves irrelevant to what’s important to me a long time ago when I decided finding my own way instead of group efforts run by compromisers was what kept me going. The only reason I’m interested in this story is to watch John’s reporting thoroughness as he explores and unfolds – I like watching how he does it and puts it all together.
Captain’s Log
- Of Fools and Fudds (It doesn’t surprise me, particularly Pennsylvania.)
- Minnesota Democrats Want Their Own AR Ban: “After all, the SCOTUS is too cowardly to stop it.”
Life Imitates Art
Chicago pol says Walgreens should be charged with ‘first-degree corporate abandonment’ over closure over theft [More]
Idiocracy was not fiction.
What a childishly retarded view of government– so naturally his constituents voted for him to make laws. That this serves the interests of those who know perfectly well what they’re engineering and why doesn’t even register.
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.
Close to the Vest
Watch them come out and try to face by saying it’s a non-functional fashion replica, which will only prove Marx for Our Lives cultists were lying in the first place — imagine that. Thing is, unless Letitia’s attack dogs examine it, all we’ll have is their word for it.
I’d like to see more gun owners press her to investigate, which means, of course, this soon-to-be-forgotten and easy-to-ignore X reply may be the whole salvo.
I had to look up Racquel Chevremont to see why she’s famous, and still don’t get it.
Lest Ye Be Judged
Who is Judge Zia Faruqui? What we know about the federal magistrate who apologized to Cole Allen… His personal biography was replete with references to his minority status and growing up in Baltimore as the son of Pakistani immigrants. [More]
Ranjit…? Kostas…? Hannah…? You’re the ones who set anecdotal evidence as the benchmark…

Bear attack in Yellowstone National Park leaves 2 hikers injured [More]
Yes, you can carry a gun in Yellowstone.
The bad news is:
But it’s illegal to fire it – even in self defense.
Just think, the people who enacted and enforce that edict all swore an oath to the Constitution. I wonder what the Framers would have thought about that.
And the Winner Is…
Casey Putsch lost to Vivek Ramaswamy. [More]
I figured he would, but just because you’re outnumbered doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
Barring unforeseen upheaval, I give Ohio 10 years to go solid blue. And our “gun rights leaders” will have played a big part in that.
And talk about a relevant UPDATE
Secretary of State Frank LaRose is prohibited by Article 15, Section 4 of the Constitution of Ohio from certifying Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy’s results in the Ohio Republican Party nomination for Governor of the state until he confirms he is a Citizen of the United States. [More]
I guess the idea of “Heritage Americans” doesn’t seem so “loony” to him about now. Wouldn’t this be a hoot if Casey won by default? Until Swamp Vichycons started helping Amy Acton by sabotaging him because he ain’t in their Big Club…
We’re the Only Ones Flushed Enough
Classes have been cancelled at a northwest suburban school on Tuesday after a resource officer misplaced his gun while he was using the bathroom on Monday afternoon. [More]
Who does this guy think he is, Michael Byrd…?
Like the answer is to “review procedures”… And if you really wanted the department to be accountable, Chief Pecora, you’d tell us the goofball’s name.
Still Slow Going
I had to squeeze in those last two posts but I’m not back yet. Please keep holding off on email tips.
Machine Gun Ruling Exposes Republican 2A Hypocrisy
The 11th Circuit joins “several sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of machine guns.” That’s consistent with the Trump administration’s position on the matter, his campaign promises that “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president,” notwithstanding. [More]
Face it, gun owners are voting for who infringes less and accepting excuses for not demanding more.
Shameless Plug
The May 2026 edition of Firearms News is now available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic. If you don’t see it where you shop, ask ’em why not. You can also subscribe and save.
Today is Primary day in Ohio, and my articles include “Ramaswamy’s Ohio Governor Bid” (pg. 18) and “Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor: The Real Deal When It Comes to Guns” (pg. 104).
Out of Office
I got stuff going on all day. I may be back tomorrow.
Sorry to those of you who emailed links.
A Dose of Reality
[T]he last thing we want, the last thing we in the Second Amendment community want, as I see it, is for the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, or for any circuit for that matter, to come out right now, now at least, and say that machine guns are protected under the Second Amendment… We do not want that next case going to the Supreme Court involving machine guns. [More]
We will never get an unequivocal “shall not be infringed” unless and until there is a credible “or else” attached to the demand.

Pardon Our Imposition, We’re Feeding Our Egos
Saw one of these signs today on the way to market, a house with foot-tall dandelions inserting itself between neatly manicured lawns and making the neighbors’ jobs of keeping them that way all the more tedious and expensive.
They don’t care if they’re forcing themselves on everybody else– as with everything else they either impose or prohibit, they feel justified and if you object you’re a fascist. Never mind that their postage stamp lot will make no difference in the scheme of things, especially when there are untold acres of woods and fields just a walk away. And not to put a damper on bee lovers, but other things grow in such untended underbrush.
These are typical virtue-signaling sanctimonious leftists of the well-heeled Hudson Antifa stripe, the kind who alternate messages to the world like this with “Hate Has No Home Here” rainbow proclamations. In fact, if you take a closer look at what they’re all about, that’s exactly what lives there under the guise of them being more tolerant than everybody else.
It’s like the commie brewer and everyone cheering on his marketing gimmick of “Free beer when Trump dies”– If you think they don’t also wish MAGA voters dead, you haven’t been paying attention.
There can be no peace with such as these, and just seeing how insufferably obnoxious they are, I don’t really want it.
Lest Ye Be Judged
A Dominican illegal alien who is also a murderer in his home country, with both a deportation order and an Interpol Red Notice arrest warrant, was ordered released by a Biden judge after he was arrested by ICE. [More]
They do it with impunity — for now. Let violent leftists prod the country into tit-for-tat and some people are going to remember past “official” injustices.
