Et Tu, Glock?

Glock Supporting Gun-Control in Oklahoma – Glock Sides With Gun Control: A Betrayal of the Second Amendment [More]

Because the Second Amendment obviously wasn’t meant to protect “weapons of war,” right?

What self-serving weasels. Who do they think they are? Bill Ruger?

First they came for the MCDs… Do these quislings really think Polyphemus will eat them last?

As for David Hardin, on the plus side he co-sponsored an NRA/ORA Day resolution.

You know about ORA, right? The grassroots “gun rights leaders” who opposed permitless carry without background checks and training…?

With friends like these…

Suffer the Children

“The shooter was obsessed with the idea of killing children,” Thompson said. “The shooter saw the attack as a way to target our most vulnerable among us. While they were at their most vulnerable at school and at church. I won’t dignify the shooter’s words by repeating them. They are horrific and vile. But, in short, the shooter wanted to watch children suffer.” [More]

The most vulnerable and precious among us, the future, and Democrats don’t want to let us protect them from monsters of their creation…

Ulterior Motives

AI Overview: Reports and analysis from legal observers and gun rights advocates indicate that the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) 2025 shift on firearm suppressors was a strategic legal maneuver. By conceding that suppressors are a form of “arm” under the Second Amendment, the DOJ laid the groundwork to defend the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax and registration scheme against legal challenges.

Guns and Gadgets elaborates. [Watch]

The “gun groups” obviously don’t care about this, so I don’t know why I should.

Who Couldn’t See That Coming?

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said groups challenging a 2013 law banning assault weapons and a second gun control law enacted a decade later could not show that the guns they are still able to possess, including several semi-automatic handguns, are not sufficient for self-defense purposes. [More]

I hate to say I told you so…

And no, I don’t think they’re embarrassed at all. I think they’re in-our-face about it.

It’s Gowdy Doody Time

Fox host Trey Gowdy: “We’re going to have to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children. How many school shootings does it take before we’re going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out of — it’s always a young white male, almost always.” [More]

Yeah, except see the comments that follow.

Just in case anybody thought this fraud was a “conservative”…

Oh, look: Here he is “proving” he’s “one of us.”

And here he is weasel-wording for infringements.

So, naturally, Donald Trump has nothing but effusive praise for the guy. (But let Gowdy publicly criticize him and look how quickly he’ll be called a “loser.”)

The Stupidest Thing You’ll Read on the Internet All Day

you use meme magic or whatever to get people to throw them out. we both know the proliferation of AI, FYPs, etc are extremely powerful. people were memed into buying the guns, they can be memed out of it. [More]

Thing is, it’ll work as well as all the other plans.

If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review in Viramontes v. Cook County, SAF’s challenge to the Cook County, Ill., ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]

Here’s the brief.

I was happy to see that it did not neglect to include:

The text of the Second Amendment itself proclaims that one of its purposes was to preserve the “militia” and, to state the obvious, the militia did not exist solely to promote individual self-defense but rather was “useful in repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections,” “render[ed] large standing armies unnecessary,” and enabled the people to be “better able to resist tyranny”. Indeed, to the extent there is a historical tradition with respect to “military” arms, it is to afford them especially strong protection.

Tangentially Related Development

The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, Madison Lara v. Commissioner Pennsylvania State Police, for conference to be held on Monday, Sept. 29. [More]

Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Rob Sand is a gun-toting Christian from rural Iowa who goes deer hunting, drives a white Ford F-150 pickup, and opens speeches by quoting the Bible. He is also a rising Democratic star whose run for governor is spooking Republicans in the ruby red state. [More]

Here he is congratulating a doctrinaire gun-grabber on her win.

What kind of stupid Fudd would you have to be to be taken in by this fraud?

What kind of “Christian”…?

Chamber of Horrors!

Shocking Photos Reveal Boston Firefighter’s Alleged ‘Gun Cave’ — With What Appears to Be a 200-Foot Firing Range Beneath His Home [More]

So, aside from the meth and stolen armor, who did he threaten? Who did he hurt? Who did he kill? Why the hoplophobic hysteria? (Oh, right: Boston.)

Who snitched, or did he do that to himself?

Who “leaked” the photos and why, and won’t they prejudice a jury? “Restraining order”? Ex-wife trying to “get” him?

The ‘New Second Amendment’

How the NYPD, Manhattan DA are fighting radical online ghost gun manufacturers [P. 14]

I like the old one just fine, thank you.

You know, the one where the Framers envisioned guns without serial numbers for everyone…

Didn’t they even include a Preamble to the Bill of Rights to explain why, that is, “in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of … powers”?

Ol’ Deputy Chief Nilan certainly looks the part.

Greenest State in the Land of the Free

First, court held that Tennessee’s “intent to go armed” statute violates the Tennessee Constitution and the Second Amendment. Second, the ruling declared unconstitutional Tennessee’s statute which makes it a criminal offense to merely carry certain weapons in parks and recreational areas even if for self-defense. [More]

Fine. A three-judge panel. What will the full court say, and how long will this intolerable nonsense go on?

I’m imagining what David Crockett would have had to say about this.

The Shape of Things to Come

Democrats break GOP’s supermajority in Iowa after flipping state Senate seat [More]

Democrat Catelin Drey got 55% of the vote. She’s the founder of Moms for Iowa, which proclaims on its website:

We are passionate about curbing gun violence…

So Iowa gun owners should have known she’s a danger.

Republican opponent Christopher Prosch was described by Iowa Firearms Coalition as a “pro-Second Amendment candidate.” Their interview video has generated a whopping 81 views at this writing with no apparent shares. Its posting on X.com garnered one repost.

If gun owners don’t get involved — meaningfully — we can kiss the midterms goodbye. Don’t believe “the”gunfluencer” hype about Democrats being out of money, because the special interests it represents aren’t, or the party being too far left, because the dumbed-down, outraged, resentful and self-entitled constituents aren’t.

Apathy has always been a greater enemy than the antis, and if it continues, count on those who never lifted a finger to bitch and moan the loudest.

“We” sure do put a lot of deserved blame on Republicans. When a good one comes along, who helps ensure self government through representation?
