Omar ‘White Supremacy’ Slur a Democrat Talking Point That Can Lead to Mass Violence

Knowing what they intend, it’s only natural that Democrats in general (because they’re awful quiet about the mobs) and radicals like Omar make citizen disarmament a keystone in their agenda. [More]

Don’t make us angry. You wouldn’t like us when we’re angry.

DOJ Says Machineguns Not Protected by 2nd Amendment and Silence of Gun Groups is Deafening

If machine guns aren’t protected, the Second Amendment is a dead letter and anyone who maintains otherwise is a fraud. [More]

It’s like they’re either afraid of offending the guy who owes them or they realize their own arguments are being used against them.

It would seem not everyone is happy with me talking about this.

‘Study’ on School Shooters Really an Innuendo-Based Hit Piece on Gun Owners

Half the article is just deconstructing the first sentence of this nonsense, it’s crammed with so much wrong. So naturally, the media runs with it and amplifies it.

Democrat Arrested in Child Sex Sting Who Called for Trump to Be Shot Was a ‘Gun Sense Voter’ Candidate

“It’s time to kill him. This moment is why the Second Amendment exist,” he declared in another.” [More]

So, just what was he demanding from all the Demanding Moms who endorsed him, and who evidently believe “gun violence” is just fine against their political enemies?

Anti-Gun Judge’s Ruling Highlights Democrat Protection of ‘Undocumented Voters’

Federal court ruling by radical judge strikes down executive action on election integrity as polls show 83% of Americans favor citizenship verification requirements. [More]

So, Democrats: Would you then agree that requiring ID as a prior restraint disenfranchises gun owners?

It’s with an eye toward determining how these 10 choices were selected for DOJ’s initial offering that prompted this FOIA request. [More]

Let’s see if the new, improved “Second Amendment Task Force” DOJ will be any better at responding to these things than it was under the Biden regime.

Who’s Minding the Store? DOJ Siding with Letitia James Against Gun Companies

So, what gives with Podolsky’s very public filing, siding with notorious New York Democrat gun prohibitionists? And will AG Bondi and her new appointees now rein him in and slap him down? [More]

We’ve seen enough disconnects to make it fair to wonder if Bondi is being undermined or if she’s just talking out of both sides of her mouth.

UPDATE

I’ve submitted an update to this piece because, per GOA, DOJ reversed itself and is withdrawing from the case. If they’da listened to me from the start and included gun owner reps in their Task Force, they’d eliminate much of the uproar and embarrassing need to backtrack.

Kristol Attack on ‘Trumpism’ is Ultimately Self-Defeating for His Useful Idiot Followers

While anyone dumb enough to believe in and follow his Democrat operative noisemaking can certainly be described by the old Soviet pejorative “useful idiot,” the term “Judas goat” seems more appropriate for him. [More]

Task Force’s Exclusion of Gun Owner Advocates Means Continuing DOJ Disappointments

Gun rights leaders and legal scholars could be identified and nominated to analyze and prioritize bills, lawsuits, regulations, opportunities, and threats, to advise on judicial and other federal nominees, and to help educate the public. [More]

Leaving the people most affected out of the discussion means they’ll end up being told instead of asked. Or as one comment poster notes, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”

Points/Counterpoints

I see some comments on my new piece on Brian Fitzpatrick that I’m going to address here. I rarely add comments over at AmmoLand because I’ve had my say, it’s the readers’ turn, and I just don’t have the time to get drawn into debates. That and I can better handle things here when trolls attempt to disrupt and redirect by going off topic, or hijacking the conversation I’m inviting completely with insulting squabbles (see “Comment House Rules” in right sidebar).

Bucks county is the burbs of Philly, lots of wealthy liberal democrats. Getting a pro 2a to run much less win in that area is practically impossible.

The reality is, and I included a link in my article, Fitzpatrick won 56+% to 43+%. Republicans will win there. This defeatist presumption presupposes, without evidence to back up the assertion, that such Republicans must be overt gun-grabbers, spreads a “there’s nothing we can do about it” attitude that several readers upvoted and agreed with, and signals the GOP that Lee (“Who else are they going to vote for?”) Atwater was right and it can continue to ignore and even sabotage gun owner interests.

This is not the way we fight to win. But the Democrats love it.

https://foac-pac.org/ is the only 2A group I know of in PA. Residents should be a member.

2A is about more than “crime,” they only have 570 x.com followers and haven’t posted to it since 2023. They do somewhat better with 14K Facebook followers, which is still a head-scratcher considering the number of gun owners in PA (and is not the same as active organization membership), and haven’t posted anything this year but a “Happy New Year” message, with nothing about what is going on at the municpal, state, and federal level.

You could come up with similar dismal analyses for Pennsylvania Gun Rights, GOA-Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania Firearms Association, leading me to ask in my piece, “And for that matter, why is it so hard to find any information on any Pennsylvania pro-2A groups alerting their members to mobilize against Fitzpatrick?”

In fairness, such groups can only do so much with most gun owners not picking one and supporting it, and with (generously) 10% of the members doing 90% of the work.

Back to the first comment: It’s not that there’s nothing PA gun owners can do about it. Of course there is. It’s just that most won’t try.

My greatest failure as an armed citizens advocate is I’ve never figured out what to do about that.

New Bump Stock Ban: Fitzpatrick Gets Away with Gun Grabs Because Republicans Allow It

The GOP needs to understand, in no uncertain terms, that embedded Democrats are unacceptable, and the Party must do a better job of reining in politicos who want to go left. [More]

Donald Trump should instruct Party shakers and movers to find an acceptable replacement and give enemy-in-the-gates Fitzpatrick the boot.
