An OFF Day

HB  4145 will be heard on the first day of the 2026 session—Monday, Feb 2 at 3 p.m.—in Hearing Room B in the Capitol. This will be a meeting of the House Judiciary Committee… As we noted in the previous post, this bill doubles the time you must wait to receive a “permit” to attempt to purchase a firearm and jacks up all fees. [More]

And:

So as of now, Sunday morning, you cannot post testimony about HB 4145. [More]

But hey, who but a fascist would complain about standing army exceptions?

UPDATE

Via email:

Now, three hours before the hearing you can finally upload testimony against HB 4145.

DOJ Filing on Forced Reset Triggers Contradicts Pledges and Complicates Midterms

“You gotta win the midterms ’cause, if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just gonna be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” [More]

You’d think “a very stable genius” with so much skin in the game would know better than to let his people douse the fire in gunvoter bellies.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

1 in custody, 1 injured, after shooting on campus of Mott Community College [More]

Doesn’t anybody read the rules anymore?

Acts Of Prohibited Conduct Include, But Not Limited To … possession or storage of any weapon … on college premises or at college sponsored activities either on or off campus.

So, what’s an attackee to do?

As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the shooter.

How, with those rules in place?

Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her.

Heck of a time to find out what’s possible.

Throwing items and improvising weapons.

As opposed to slinging lead with proven tools…

Yelling

Yo, killer, here I am!

Committing to your actions.

Trust me,. once you call attention to yourself, you’ll be committed.

Off Their Trolley

A Kansas City man contacted KMBC 9 Investigates after witnessing a man push a woman to the ground and steal a package on the streetcar on Wednesday…. “It was just a situation to where if, I think if a security guard had been on the streetcar at that time, he could have intervened immediately,” Roberts said. [More]

Unless the guard decided to secure himself from danger instead.

And it’s not like she’d have been allowed the means to defend herself.

Gun Prohibitionists Siding with DOJ on NFA Registration

None of this is done to disparage recognized and deservedly lauded good and unprecedented positions being taken by DOJ that would, admittedly, never have happened under any other administration to date. But that does not require Second Amendment advocates to turn a blind eye to when those positions turn cognitively dissonant. [More]

“Friendly fire” can be more devastating than what’s coming from the enemy.

Gun-Grabbers Demand More Defenselessness After Brown University and Australian Shootings

Efforts in USA and Australia to disarm potential victims continue after decades of failure [More]

Gun prohibitionists here, there, and everywhere don’t care how many people get killed by their monomaniacal demands for a forcibly disarmed populace.

Free DeStefano

NY Attorney General Letitia James charging Florida man with 71 gun crimes [More]

The state, with unlimited resources, is trying to destroy a man claiming his freedom who won’t surrender. So why are Ron DeSantis and NSSF’s new BFF on board with this?

“Online retailer Indie Guns repeatedly defied court orders and spread extremist views on social media”?

That sounds more like a testimonial than a condemnation to me.

Anybody know if the guy’s got a fundraising page? I’ll update this if he does.

Credit Where Due

Today, both the federal Department of Justice and 26 states filed amicus briefs supporting CRPA’s challenge to California’s ammo ban. The DOJ filed an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs in the case of Rhode v. Bonta. In addition, 26 states collaborated on an amicus brief also supporting the case. [More]

Acknowledge when they do good.

Maybe it’ll offset some of when they don’t.

GOA explains.

Imams Demand Action

State television reported the arrest of an unspecified number of people in another western city, Kermanshah, accused of manufacturing petrol bombs and homemade pistols. [More]

So… ghost guns?

Every terrible implement of the soldier… this is what it’s all about. This is what the Democrats and Swamp Republicans want to deny to us.

This is why when we focus exclusively on “self-defense” we’re leaving major arguments ignored, to our peril.

And for Other Purposes

S. 3544: A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to require licenses to acquire or receive firearms, and for other purposes. [More]

The same old treasonous tyrants who want it all…

I see some hyperventilating. Keep in mind:

2% chance of being enacted

And 0% chance at least 3% of gun owners will not comply if it ever is.

It’s not the first time they’ve tried it. It won’t be the last.
