This is Democrat ‘Leadership’: Name Calling

Her trolling this way also tells us something else about her.

Crossroads

Montana Shooting Sports Association is at a crossroads. Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) needs to either grow substantially or begin spooling down. I just had my 79th birthday and will not be able to carry the MSSA load much longer. To set MSSA up to carry on will require money and members, lots of both. [More]

Gary Marbut has been the engine that has kept things going in more ways than I could summarize. If Montana gun owners don’t appreciate the sacrifices he has made on their behalf, the innovation in his thinking to protect their rights, and the sheer determination of pulling the load every day, step by step, with unflagging devotion, if the greatest enemy of the animating contest for freedom, apathy, prevails, they’ll bring Mr. Churchill’s terrifying assessment down on their own (and our) heads, and Mr. Adams’ judgment on their souls.

Montana gun owners have the choice of doing things the easy way or the hard way. Not doing anything is simply surrendering that choice to those who would leave them none– under force of arms.

The Roadway to Citizenship

A man accused of murdering six people in California was deported several times previously, according to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement… The district attorney’s office said that Celerino – who also goes by the names Norberto (Beto) Celerino Villalva, Grabien Martinez, and Roberto Savaringo-Diabla – was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol when he crashed the car into a tree, killing six passengers and severely injuring another. [More]

So his adult passengers were good with him being and driving here illegally and drunkenly?

OK, but what’s this got to do with guns?

But Wait! There’s More!

Two bullet in the head of his GOP rival aren’t enough for Vajayjay.

He wants their kids to die, too:

Jones eventually made remarks suggesting violence toward Gilbert’s young children, which Coyner called out in their exchange. “You were talking about hopping [sic] Jennifer Gilbert’s children would die,” she said. Jones replied, “Yes. I’ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”

I know what that feels like.

So… where’s Abigail on all this? Where’s Blue Virginia?

Where’s Rob and Grant’s pal Jorge?

How the War Began

Like the founders, we should create a limited, invitation-only body – an embryonic constitutional convention – that the anti-Trump blue states exclusively set up for themselves, limit to themselves, and control. [More]

And then we can disarm all those racist, fascist right wing, extremist, Nazi, MAGA Republican we outnumber!

I wonder what Thomas Geoghegan’s solution for those who might say “No” might be…

The inner totalitarians eating their way out of these raving, impotent fantasists would be fun to watch were the low-hanging fruit they influence not so easy to manipulate into doing something evil, violent, and stupid.

We’re the Only Ones Hypoglycemic Enough

Retired deputy arrested for DUI while experiencing diabetic crisis in TN [More]

You know you have the condition. You recognize the onset of symptoms, know that driving while so impaired endangers the public, and know what to do to treat yourself and regain balance.

Whose responsibility is it to have the means to do that?

Consider yourself lucky you weren’t a “civilian” having a seizure.

The Enemy Within

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives listed the Republicans who voted pro-gun control: Reps. Joe Hogan (R-Dist. 142), Kristin Marcell (R-Dist. 178), Kathleen Tomlinson (R-Dist. 18), Martina White (R-Dist. 170), and Rep. Craig Williams (R-Dist. 160). The gun control passed by a vote of 104-99. [More]

The Pennsylvania nosedive continues. And much of it appears self-inflicted though lack of involvement.

What Will Help?

Anti-Gun Rhetoric Doesn’t Help With Domestic Violence Tragedies [More]

There’s violence in criminal households where “prohibited persons” ignore gun laws? Who knew?

Any room for “Be a better woman so you can chose a better man” in there? How about keeping people who can’t be trusted away from access to guns and to those who can be?

Trust the Science

A combination of ideology, social media, mental health disorders, and medication may be influencing recent trends in violence and radicalization among those who identify as transgender, according to experts. [More]

Sorry, can’t look into that. Those who assured us the COVID-19 shots were safe and claims of election fraud were baseless will say — with final authority — that there’s absolutely no connection and that testing a hypothesis speculating otherwise would only pander to delusional haters.

We can’t even look into it, and if you disagree, you’re a Nazi.

It’s Not Like It’s a Right or Anything

NFA approvals are paused until the shutdown ends. This means no new tax stamps will be issued until ATF staff return to work. [More]

I wonder what text, history, and tradition have to say about that…

Related UPDATE:

AI Overview
Due to the 2025 federal government shutdown, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) has halted the processing of NFA firearms approvals, such as those for suppressors and short-barreled rifles. The ATF eForms system remains online for submissions, but applications will not be reviewed or approved until the shutdown ends and staff return to work.
Here is what you need to know about the current situation:
Approvals are paused: While you can still submit NFA paperwork, no new tax stamps will be issued during the government shutdown. This applies to all National Firearms Act (NFA) items.
Submissions are still possible: You can continue to file and certify NFA paperwork electronically through the eForms portal or other platforms. Submitting your application now will secure your place in the processing queue once the government reopens.
Delays are expected: When the shutdown ends, a backlog of applications will likely cause a delay in processing times.
Status of NFA regulations: Recent legislation, “H.R. 1 – One Big Beautiful Bill,” was signed in July 2025 and eliminated the $200 NFA tax for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns, effective January 1, 2026.
However, registration and compliance requirements remain. The tax repeal does not change the requirement to submit all necessary forms (Form 1 or Form 4, fingerprints, photos) and maintain records.

Kacie and the Sunshine Band

Sharpe is now asking the vice president to make a change. “Something has to be done, and I would beg him please, please do something, anything,” she said. “And one thing that can be done is banning these weapons.” [More]

Right, that would solve everything. Just ask the bleating hearts with signs in the photo.

Short on anything approaching logic, Kacie is, however, a master (mistress?) of emotional manipulation in her “artistic” musings.

Spock, comment…?

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

Colt Canada Denies Involvement in Confiscation Scheme [More]

You don’t say.

I’ll bet he gets a lot more reads than the source. I suppose a link would have killed him. You know, kind of like the same courtesy that gets regularly extended here…

Story of my life…

And for the record, they denied involvement in the buyback scheme and said nothing about confiscation. Whether the claim is valid or invalid has not been definitively established.

Wolford at the Door

On Friday we celebrated DOJ Civil Rights filing an amicus brief with SCOTUS on Wolford v Lopez, the case out of Hawaii where there is a circuit split on “whether private property no carry default violates the Second Amendment.”

That’s the case where Alan Beck is one of the attorneys for petitioners.

Stephen Stamboulieh, who has worked with Alan on numerous efforts, as well as represented me, shares his thoughts:
