How Modelo became America’s new favorite beer [More]
It has less to do with Dylan Mulvaney and more to do with the greatest threat.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Aaron Zelman Would Be Horrified by JPFO Promoting NRA-Endorsed ‘Gun Control’
JPFO publicizing Project Exile would have Zelman rolling over in his grave. [More]
It’s tough enough beating back citizen disarmament schemes without having to tell our ostensible leaders to stop advocating for them.
New Lies for Old
You Gotta Watch ’em Every Step of the Way
Error, my a$$. Stein and his loser bureaucrat of a director, Jeffrey Smythe, intended to quietly ram it through with only token input. And but for YOUR emails and calls, they would have gotten away with it. [More]
Dealing with gun-grabbing politicians is like dealing with malevolent adolescents, which is essentially what they are.
GRNC needs the adults to step up.

The Quality of the Opposition
Head of Group Involved in NYC’s ‘Blueprint to End Gun Violence’ Hit With Gun, Drug Charges [More]
I haven’t been this impressed with a “commonsense gun safety” advocate since Hector “Big Weasel” Marroquin…
I may just do a little digging…

Blast from the Past
In his last line, Mr. Codrea seems to be skating pretty near the legal edge of making threats of violence. [More]
While checking to see how the work is propagating, I ran across this 10-year-old letter to the editor I’d never seen before.
Here’s the article he objects to.
Funny thing… he uses the exact same words to attack it CSGV did.
All the while pretending his motive is to be inviting to shooters of all stripes…
Just like the phonies at 97percent…
FOIA Request Seeks Information on ‘Consent to Permanent Entry’ into Gun Background Check System
Addressed to the Office of the Attorney General, the request notes a commitment by Biden to “consent to a permanent entry in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System such that he will be denied via NICS if he attempts to legally purchase another firearm.” [More]
Separation of powers? We ain’t got no separation of powers. We don’t need no separation of powers. I don’t have to show you any stinking separation of powers.
Power Play
And Thank You for Your Service
Last night, the House voted on the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, which passed 228-206. [More]
Guess who the lone Republican “Noe” came from.
As long as there’s a Democrat Senate and President, this bill’s going nowhere. Still, it may be useful to clue in voting veterans who aren’t kneejerk Democrats.

How Quickly They Forget
The senator’s statements refer to a national referendum held in 2005, during Lula’s first presidential term, in which Brazilian citizens voted overwhelmingly against banning gun and ammunition sales… Reversing Bolsonaro’s flexibilization of firearm access for Brazilian citizens was one of Lula da Silva’s sterner campaign promises.

Now to remind them what they’ve been missing…

New Jersey’s New “John Wick” Carry Permit Training Mandate [More]
How much competency must a citizen demonstrate in order to vote and be protected by any of the other Amendments?
One question I did not see addressed, so perhaps one of you who knows will educate me in “Comments”: If an “Only One” fails the test, how soon (and often) can they retake it, and does the same standard apply to “civilians”?
One more question: Who thinks Newark triggermorons give a damn?
More Holes Than Swiss Cheese
Switzerland is a country that has a high rate of gun ownership but doesn’t have a high level of gun violence. It’s because they actually have a well regulated militia with high levels of mental and legal vetting AND training to own a gun. [More]
And nothing else factors in?
If so, he should have no problem showing commensurate higher rates of “gun violence” among people of Swiss ancestry here.
Except challenge him with facts and he runs away…
And we shouldn’t lose sight they have their own totalitarian wannabes trying to destroy their historic security and sovereignty by mandating global citizen disarmament edicts.
Brazil Returns to Gun Control of Old Under Socialist Dictator Lula
How the new disarmament edicts will play with Brazil’s established “gun culture” will be instructive. Defiant Bolsonaro backers should not be surprised to find themselves smeared as extremists and conflated with criminal insurrectionists by highly-placed government officials and the media, just like here in the U.S. [More]
The parallels between there and here are numerous and disturbing. As are the tactics and goals of totalitarians demanding a monopoly of violence.
This is No Time to Relax
With Oregon’s Legislature out of session and the first step in our Federal lawsuit to stop Ballot Measure 114 behind us, things may seem a bit “quiet” on the gun rights front. But like so much in life, things are boiling beneath the surface. [More]
Oregon gun owners need to take this time to understand their situation, recruit support, and get involved.
Nothing in Common
That the antis have glommed onto “self-defense” as an exclusionary qualifier was inevitable since that’s all the “common possessors” on our side ever talk about.
If we keep limiting ourselves that way, arms needed for the core purpose and all new technological developments restricted to military/police use will be forever denied to the people the Second Amendment was meant to apply to, and not just for “self-defense.”
I’m waiting for one of our legal influencers with a reach longer than mine to admit this and start using it.
Alternatively, I’m waiting for one of them to have the guts to challenge me on this and prove me wrong.

Taking Up a Collection
“They are monitoring this guy for doing what millions of other hobbyists do—selling part of their personal collection. That’s not a crime, but apparently ATF doesn’t like people turning over their guns at a high rate” … [More]
