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

So What’s the Problem?

IMPACTS OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS’ EXTREME CR…Nearly 70 fewer Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents, who are often some of the first federal law enforcement on the scene of a mass shooting to help local law enforcement identify at-large shooters—and 13 furlough days for ATF’s entire workforce [More]

Cutting 800 Border agents sounds bad, but they don’t let them guard the border anyway. A lot of the other stuff is Marxist wealth redistribution…

Watch them use the reduction in FBI personnel to try to delay NICS approvals and then work around the 3-day background check timeout to retroactively go after transfers…

Trump a Prohibited Person?

If Trump had bought the glock, [sic] there would have been questions about the legality of him buying it. [More]

Possibly. Even though ATF doesn’t list it, [CORRECTION: They cite it under the list] there’s the 18 U.S.C. § 922 prohibition (assuming you can navigate through the amendments) but then there’s the Texas judge’s Quiroz ruling…

Beats me. If I were him I wouldn’t let anyone photograph me holding a gun without advice of counsel. I wonder if that will be used against him.

But by assuming he would have tried to buy it at the SC gun shop without having it go to an FFL in his state, they apparently missed the main question.

A False Argument

Acosta repeatedly asked Norman how Republicans planned to secure the border if there is a government shutdown and said, “I guess I don’t understand that.” [More]

HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO WORK IF IT’S RESTRAINED BY THE CONSTITUTION…???

Disregarding for a moment that there’s such a thing as priorities and it’s not like the powers that be are just going to tell the military to go home, there’s a whole ‘nother deliberately unused resource that those same powers have a vested interest in ignoring…

Have It Your Way

Burger King faces boycott after yanking ads from Rumble over Russell Brand accusations [More]

Someone at corporate decided joining the pile-on was the right virtue signal to send.

I guess the only logically consistent position to take is that Burger King is guilty and must be punished.

Say, maybe that’s the reason they’re trying to build up “woke” points…

OK, but what do dire consequences based on unproven allegations have to do with guns?

Private Parts

Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani in latest ‘laptop’ salvo –
The suit accuses Giuliani of contributing to the “annihilation” of his privacy. [More]

Where have we heard that before?

You wanna see “annihilation”…?

From some earlier research I’d done based on the Marco Polo report:

“The text at the bottom of Hunter’s signed invoice clearly stipulated the consequences if he did not return to the repair shop to pick up the laptop: ‘Equipment left with the Mac Shop after 90 days of notification of completed service will be treated as abandoned and you agree to hold the Mac Shop harmless for any damage or loss of property. In the event of nonpayment, The Mac Shop reserves the right to remove any equipment or parts installed.’”

Per an FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin article citing the Supreme Court on “Abandonment of Items Associated with the Person,” and noting that both Biden’s gun and laptop were abandoned, the former being discarded in a supermarket trash bin and the latter through contractually-stipulated abandonment :

“A person has no private or possessory interest in property that was abandoned.”

‘Republicans for Ukraine’ Led by Same Neocons who Advocate Disarming Americans

That makes fair the question of those funding the Republicans for Ukraine website: “Who are these guys?” [More]

It’s just another Astroturf venture exploiting a handful of useful idiots hooked on Kristol meth.

Lottery Winners for Totalitarian Overlords

Billie Eilish, Sheryl Crow, Niles Rogers, Bootsy Collins, and other famous musicians released a video under the banner of “Artist for Action to Prevent Gun Violence” in hopes of securing more gun control. [More]

Pop musicians: Can there be a better group to take moral guidance from?

YouTube viewers — the few they can attract — aren’t buying it.

A Conditioned Response

“You think this juvenile [expletive] is gonna do some [expletive]? I’ll be out in 30 days, I’ll bet you. It’s just ah, [expletive] ah, hit-and-run — slap on the wrist.” [More]

“…a lengthy criminal history in the juvenile system”…?

I wonder how many others Democrat catch-and-release policies have emboldened this way…

Rhymes with ‘Blunt’

Leftist Mayor Calls 911 On Peaceful Petitioners – Describes Them As “Far Right Wing” [More]

That’s literally the First Amendment this she-Nazi tried to deploy the SS against.

When I saw this last week my first thought was to do a FOIA and make her go on record– under penalty of perjury — to provide records of all the “complaints” she says she received.

Looking at Washington’s Public Records law, it looks like they need to be inspected in person, which is a showstopper for me– but not for anyone there interested in picking up the ball and running with it.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

According to witnesses, 39-year-old Larry Lawrence, who was a store employee, was in the process of placing groceries in the rear seat of a vehicle, where a dog was located. He then began to pet the dog. While occupied with the dog, a .22 rifle, also located in the rear seat of the vehicle, discharged and struck Lawrence in the chest, officials with the police department said. [More]

Who’s the damn moron?

We’re the Only Ones Tight-Lipped Enough

Suspected killer Kevin Mason, 28, was mistakenly released from the Marion County Jail two days after he was arrested. The sheriff’s office was tight-lipped about it until about a week after he was accidently set free on Sept. 13. “Without speaking to the specifics of this case, I don’t know why you would wait for so long to tell the public, unless there’s a very good investigative reason,” said Dr. Bryce Peterson, an adjunct professor at John Jay College who studies data relating to escaped inmates. [More]

This one even stumps Yul!

Concord Hymn

“The Hoedspruit Farmwatch volunteers blocked the roads outside of Hoedspruit with boulders after they were alerted of the attack. A skirmish, lasting about 20 minutes, ensued at one of the blockades between the robbers and the farmers, who were armed with pistols. The farmers managed to kill 4 of the robbers and wound 3. No farmer was hurt. The other suspects fled into nearby bushes after the shootout on foot.” [More]

Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

Why they didn’t have matching rifle power is another story.

Pack Lives Matter?

For every life “saved”–and let’s be clear, almost all of the people “saved” were criminals who were engaging in life-threatening crimes–15 people died who would not have if BLM hadn’t destroyed our policing system. That’s quite an exchange rate. For every life saved by reducing policing 15 extra people were murdered by a non-police criminal. Most of these people were not engaged in activity that was threatening the lives of others. [More]

I’m not sure I’m buying the correlation/causation assumption since police don’t arrive until after the fact.

I’m sure there’s an effect, I just have no idea how you’d reliably quantify it. Or am I overthinking it?
