Making It Personal

…Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert signed an executive order banning all firearms on city property … This executive action was taken following a move by the city council to strike the previous city ordinances on firearms. This was done to comply with the new statewide preemption law that takes effect on Saturday, along with constitutional carry. [More]

And naturally, “The only exceptions to this order are for law enforcement, contracted security personnel, recreational shotgun use at the Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet facility, and those granted exemption by the Chief of Police.”

This is why claiming to be a Republican can never be enough.

I guess if hubby couldn’t be trusted with a gun, you can’t, either. Or is it bad form to point that out, even if it looks like she moved on soon enough?

You want to cry foul, cry foul.

I owe no sympathy to someone who demands I obey their terms of surrender or else and put my life and the lives of those I love at risk.

And you’ll note NRA didn’t dare tell you about this.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

The Department of Justice is proposing to amend Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) regulations to require that any person who stores explosive materials notify on an annual basis the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials are being stored of the type of explosives, magazine capacity, and location of each site where such materials are stored. In addition, the proposed rule requires any person who stores explosive materials to notify the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials were stored whenever storage is discontinued. These changes are intended to increase public safety. [More]

That’s awful similar to the “justification” given last time…

Shot Full of Lead

A federal court on Friday rejected a long-fought effort by environmental groups to force a ban on lead ammo in a national forest, providing a key win for hunters, the National Rifle Association, and the United States Forest Service. [More]

It’s been a long time coming. Last night I brought out the Center for Biological Diversity gorilla hand ashtray to celebrate.

Now sue them.

It’s a Feature, Not a Bug

It should be more than obvious that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that credulous GOP Senator John Cornyn shepherded into law along with Connecticut’s Chris Murphy was nothing but a stalking horse for expanding the federal government’s regulation of firearms. [More]

Is “folly” the right word here?

Real Culprit Identified!

White gunman who shot three Black victims legally acquired weapons after Ron DeSantis recently allowed permitless carry [More]

Yeah, I remember how thrilled we all were when Ohio passed a similar law saying “Constitutional carry” meant we could also murder groups we hate after being involuntarily committed and released!

Ulterior Motives

FIREARM MARKETING BANS REALLY ABOUT ERASING NEXT GENERATION’S GUN RIGHTS [More]

Yeah, that’s a goal, but I’d say it’s really about banning speech to facilitate thought control.

It’s about tyranny.

That’s what NSSF doesn’t get when it thinks it can partner with monsters that won’t ultimately turn on them.

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

Clarifying that the intent to “predominantly earn a profit” does not require the person to have received pecuniary gain… [More]

That’s something else government “monetary policy” makes difficult. The thought strikes that I (hypothetically, because I don’t admit to owning guns in a forum accessible to “law enforcement”) bought a 44 Magnum Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk off a guy from work back in 1978 for around $175 as I recall ( or would recall if this wasn’t hypothetical) and today that model used goes for around $600.

Seems like a tidy profit, no?

Hold the phone:

When using the core inflation measurement, $1 in 1978 is equivalent in buying power to $4.68 in 2023, a difference of $3.68.

The way I see it, I’d be taking a substantial loss.

I’m reminded of the strange case of former FBI Agent John Shipley (note internal links will need to be accessed through the Wayback Machine).

In the case of those feeding at the citizen disarmament trough, I’m reminded of Mark 8:36.

And yeah, one gun could trigger things…

Contradiction in Terms

COVID Tyrants want to take away our Freedom. Hear my words— WE WILL NOT COMPLY. [More]

How does the John Kerry saying go?

He was for it before he was against it?

An angry reader canceled his Firearms News subscription and had some choice words for me about this.

He must have only read the parts he wanted to before storming off, like the title, because I thought I’d explained myself:

This is not an exercise in piling on and kicking a man when he’s down, nor an invitation for the wrong-headed rebuttal common among those who still think the guy is some kind of Second Amendment 4D chess master, “Would you rather [insert Democrat gun-grabber here] were president instead?”

No, of course not. By the same token, we are not doing ourselves or those depending on us to stand for freedom any favors if we deliberately ignore Trump’s willful failures on guns. Because this is going to end one of two ways – strengthening his renewed bid for a return to the White House, or ending any chances of it. If he wins, we need to be able to collectively influence his 2A decisions and judicial appointments and get him to understand what the bad ones are before he makes them. If he loses, we need to be ready to do the same with whomever the Republicans nominate to carry the standard.

Denying reality, complimenting the Emperor’s exquisite, nonexistent wardrobe, and attacking observations so simple a child can see them not only guarantees more destructive disappointments, it aids and abets the rights swindlers who will take infringements any way they can get them.

It also, ultimately, hurts Donald Trump’s candidacy. The people he needs the most — those who can think beyond the self-promoting rhetoric — know when it’s not raining.

But I don’t suppose it’s in the guy to ever admit he’s been wrong about anything, show he understands why he was wrong, apologize, and detail how he’s going to fix the damage and then make it better… and that’s too bad for all of us.

BOHICA

Justice Department Proposes New Regulation to Update Definition of “Engaged in the Business” as a Firearms Dealer [More]

Here’s ATF’s summary.

Here’s the proposed rule.

When they’ve got it in the Federal Register you’ll be able to find it and comment here.

Not that the tyrannical swine following orders to impose this will listen.

Which means a filing to halt this based on history, text, and tradition of gun sales at the time of the Founding will need to be filed in a jurisdiction likely to issue an injunction.

UPDATE

GOA’s take:

Today, the Biden ATF formally rolled out their plans to implement backdoor universal background checks, which was made possible by Senator John Cornyn’s “compromise” legislation passed last summer.

On Being Democrats

Missouri Democrats propose allowing 17-year-olds to vote in party-run presidential primary [More]

These are the same people who want to raise the age to own a gun to 21.

Here’s an illustration of what demonstrable liars they are:

Democrats are not “coming after your guns.”

Meanwhile, they posted this on the same Facebook account.
