David Codrea is a long-time gun owner rights advocate who defiantly challenges the folly of citizen disarmament.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Permanent’ Is

Petitioner contends (Pet. 7-21) that 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment as applied to her by subjecting her to “permanent” disarmament based on a years-old conviction for a nonviolent felony. Pet. 15. That contention lacks merit. The Department of Justice recently revitalized an administrative process under 18 U.S.C. 925(c) through which convicted felons can regain their ability to possess firearms. Given that process, petitioner cannot show (Pet. 15) that Section 922(g)(1) subjects her to “permanent” disarmament. [More]

Yeah, well, it would help if you guys who make noises that 2A is not a “second class right” would let everybody know what the non-arbitrary criteria are, but as yet you’ve ignored my FOIA request well past the statutory deadline. Are you going to make me file a complaint and then drag that on forever just like the Democrats? And then further discourage such rightful fact-finding by denying recovery of attorney fees?

Sorry if I can’t knee-jerk spin this as a positive. Because this really doesn’t tell us “how,” and a right delayed is a right denied.

Safe Words

CDC shooter had police contacts over suicide, used father’s guns in attack… “All indications in our investigation was that they were secure and that he forced his way into the safe that contained the weapons,” said Hosey, adding that the suspect did not have a key to the gun safe: “He broke into it,” Hosey said.

We obviously need commonsense gun safe safety laws.

We’re the Only Ones Selling Back Enough

Chicago Woman Who Was Shot With a Police Department ‘Buyback’ Gun Sues the City for $50,000… No one was ever charged in any of the three crimes in which the wayward GLOCK was used and the police sergeant who supervised the gun turn-in event where the firearm disappeared was suspended for one day for “failure to adequately secure and care for department property.” [More]

Well, at least we know that justice was served.

Forget it Jake, it’s Chi-Town.

The People’s Choice

Mamdani is polling at 44%, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who’s running as an independent, is at 25%. Republican Curtis Sliwa is at 12%, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is at 7%. [More]

Still no “gun safety group” endorsements…?

Hey, if NYC goes full commie and Islamic terrorist attack it again, do the rest of us have to support a military response?

GOA Launches “Fuerza 2A” to Champion Hispanic Voices for the Second Amendment at GOALS 2025 [More]

Careful, fellas.

Yeah, I know Luis. He’s a good man, a good patriot. So is Miguel. So is Jose. So are many others. That’s not the argument.

No question smart outreach can work in our favor, but the goal ought to be true inclusiveness into the uniquely American culture of freedom. And we can’t lose sight through the virtue signaling that we’re still talking about an extreme minority (in the numeric sense) of extreme minorities (in the real world sense).

I’ve been through this debate before, including about foreign language outreach. I’m an “Any chair in a bar fight” type of guy and don’t believe in limiting options, but I do offer this caution:

Sure…go for a foreign language outreach program if you like. Good idea. Let us know when that happens, but by the time you get it off the ground, assuming you ever do, there will be millions more new “citizens.” Plus, you’ve given absolutely no estimates on how many “converts” that will bring in, and if it will be more than a few drops against an overwhelmingly anti-gun tidal wave.

One thing’s for sure– they won’t give you a fair shake on Univision or any other DSM outlet, and don’t expect suppressive Google algorithms and social media “community standards” to give you a break.

If you fight fire with droplets, you’re going to be consumed.

And time was, GOA made a different promise.

Court Rules Cops Can’t Stop-and-Frisk You For Carrying A Gun [Watch]

I’ve been asked if this means no more Terry stops and pat-downs, but I don’t think so, because those require a “reasonable suspicion” that a suspect has committed a crime, and already forbids just make something up, although this ruling could conceivably make some “Only Ones” more hesitant to do that.

Perhaps someone who actually knows what he’s talking about on this can weigh in and educate me.

More questions: Why did the “pro-Second Amendment” Justice Department prosecute and will it appeal?

Arrivederci, Imbecille

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel confirmed he obtained his Italian citizenship during a discussion on people fleeing the country to escape President Donald Trump. Kimmel shared the news while a guest on fellow comedian Sarah Silverman’s podcast Friday, as they discussed the state of the country in Trump’s second term. [More]

Velocemente! Presto! Although why he just doesn’t sneak in like the people he’s virtue signaling for is left unanswered.

I’ve made no secret how I feel about “dual citizenship.”

And Sarah Silverman…

Ghost of a Chance

The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that it is legal to possess unserialized firearms so long as they are not required to be serialized by federal law. This is a welcome and uncharacteristic reverence for the Second Amendment, considering the justices are all Democratic appointees. [More]

Not the reason I’d have given, but it’ll work — for now.
