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

Point/Counterpoint

Armed with military-grade weapons smuggled from the U.S., the 50-man force is one of dozens of “autodefensa,” or “self-defense,” groups that have emerged over the past decade in Mexico to fight increasingly sophisticated cartels in areas far out of the reach of security forces. [More]

Which FFL are they getting them from?

And just to show there are two sides to every story:

We Traced How U.S. Guns Get to Mexican Cartels [More]

How come commie Antifa/No Kings types never come after cartels? Are the defenders worth siding with? Let God sort ’em out?

American guns fueling Mexican violence, so we need to curtail rights here? This looks like just what the media narrative was before all hell broke loose.

We’re the Only Ones Overreacting Enough

For a misdemeanor charge of possessing 38 rounds of ammo without an FOID card? This is how regimes enforce “commonsense gun safety laws”? Even those that are dominated by “law-and-order Republicans”?

Those are some heavy duty “military style” assault vehicles the standing army sheriff sent out for that. It brings to mind a question I asked some years back about how the Battle of Athens would go today.

Must Not Get Out Much

“It’s the most profound thing I’ve literally ever heard,” one TikTok user said. [More]

A line from “Deteriorata” comes to mind:

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet

Tell us more about how profound Ethan Hawke is:

…we need to take guns out of the hands of young people out of, you know, what’s the expression? Common sense gun laws, you know, I mean, that is it no-brainer…

See what I mean?

Yep, the wrong people are “influencers.“

The Safety Dance

Missiles hit Dubai. Influencer still claims it’s safer than US cities
Influencer Mike Babayan says he still feels safe in Dubai as missiles strike the region. [More]

Google AI…? What say you?

Many freedoms protected in the U.S. are illegal in Dubai, UAE, due to strict conservative laws and autocratic governance. Key restrictions include prohibitions on criticizing the government, public displays of affection, LGBTQ+ rights, independent media, public protests, and certain expressions of religion. Violating these can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation. U.S. Department of State (.gov)

Not that I’m saying AI is GIGO curated leftist opinion or anything, but it avoided something. I said “avoided” instead of “forgot,” because it knows:

Dubai has extremely strict gun laws under UAE Federal Law No. 17 of 2019, making private firearm ownership difficult and heavily regulated. Licenses are required for purchasing or possessing weapons, with illegal possession resulting in severe penalties like imprisonment and deportation. Ownership is limited to specific purposes like sport or hunting, requiring strict licensing.

Mr. Franklin…? (And yes, I’m aware of original context.)

Maybe the wrong people are “influencers.”

Still, he has a point about cities and the dangerous oppressiveness of Democrat rule.

Coming Soon, to a Caliphate Near You

What this means is that the war with Iran, and bombardments of other countries like Lebanon, will destabilize the entire Middle East and create a massive amount of refugees. [More]

I’d wonder how they’ll vote once they complete the pathway to citizenship, but I don’t want to p!$$ anybody off…

RIP

It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace. [More]

Everything I’ve heard about him says he was a good man who was not afraid to profess his beliefs.

We should all strive for such a remembrance.

Casey at the Bat

He answered the Ohio Gun Owners survey:

A colleague noted whose they did not:

OGO removed the comment.

I did try to give Putsch the benefit of the doubt:

Unfortunately, he didn’t answer any of our questions. Realizing that political campaigns can be all consuming, Firearms News will issue an update if he does.

That said, I expect I’ll vote for Putsch in the primary, although based on my track record at picking political winners, candidates probably shouldn’t want me to.

Adventures in Baselessness

Illegal immigrants from Africa, India and China are voting in US elections — here’s how they’re doing it [More]

As much as proving this is widespread would bolster the arguments I make, I’m still waiting for that Kraken to show up.

That it hasn’t doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Infer what you like about the serious determination of Republicans from that, because ever since their abdication on Gunwalker, I’ve had my doubts.

Survey SAYS…

19 Million Americans Have Seriously Thought About Shooting Someone, National Survey Suggests [More]

Outside of playing cowboy as a child, I don’t recall even fantasizing, let alone seriously considering. Even during my DGU, I hoped things would go no further.

So, what are we talking here about with homicides, like two-tenths of one percent of those who think about it act on it? And factoring in suicides and justifiable shootings, we need to impose fundamental rights-denying prohibitions on the 99.9+ percent, rather than focus on removing those who can’t be trusted from access to the rest of us?

Pick Your Poison

March For Our Lives Backs Federal Gun Ban for Marijuana Users [More]

That’s just what they’ll admit to for now.

Don’t doubt they’re also for gun bans for alcohol drinkers.

And for gun owners.

They’re not the young, hip kids their professional PR flacks paint them out to be– they’re humorless, blue-nosed prohibitionists, biddies, and control freaks.

Yearning to Breathe Free Stuff

Nearly half of households headed by immigrants, those legally and illegally living in the United States, are on one or more forms of welfare, a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis of Census Bureau data reveals. [More]

There I go being a loser bigot again.

Then we get into the whole taxation without representation/representation without taxation conundrum.

A Plan Comes Together

Armor-Piercing Ammo Metal Up 557% As China Chokes Supply, War Demand Surges [More]

Hey, decisions have consequences:

The United States finds itself in a precarious position regarding tungsten supply, having ceased all domestic mine production since 2015 when the last operating facility shuttered its operations.

A question in Latin comes to mind.
