Kick the Can

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a number of improvements in access to mental health care on Thursday to reduce suicides in the military, but held off on endorsing more controversial recommendations to restrict gun and ammunition purchases by young troops, sending them to another panel for study.

Don’t look for the next one to be any less stupid than the first.

All Over But the Filing?

“The President can’t rewrite laws. This is yet another executive order from the most anti-gun administration in history designed to circumvent the legislative process. I am reviewing the executive order and will closely monitor the federal government’s implementation of it. If it violates Americans’ rights, I will file a lawsuit.” [More]

So I take that as a “Definitely”…?

When Mini-Tyrants Rage

A coalition of 14 attorneys general condemned payment networks majors including Visa Inc, American Express Co and Mastercard Inc for pausing work on a merchant code to help detect suspicious gun sales in the United States. [More]

That tells me everything I need to know.

Why is Reuters calling state attorneys general “U.S. attorneys general”?

Nothing to See Here?

I am an immigrant and a Second Amendment advocate myself…[More]

That’s why I exclude anecdotes and isolated examples from my challenge and focus on the overall effect. Of course, there are some random 2A supporters, and great ones at that. They are a drop in the bucket compared to the majority.

Most immigrants, unless they’re naturalized citizens, cannot vote.

And that’s why the Democrats are pushing through a superhighway to citizenship. And don’t forget their “anchor babies.”

The core of my prescription for preserving and protecting the Second Amendment is outreach to groups that have historically not been associated with gun ownership…

Yeah? Using what media? Do you think the DSM and billionaire-funded grabber groups are just going to let that happen or will they just pour more resources into suppression, cancellations, and counterpropaganda? If you’re going to offer this as the answer, define the scope of the effort needed to overcome all that, and then show where those resources are supposed to come from. Go on, do it.

The gist of what I wrote in my book is that immigration, along with other factors, is a threat only if you let it be a threat.

That’s why ignoring this and falling for the “single issue” excuse will prove catastrophic.

Michael Bloomberg and cheap labor Republican stooges love seeing such excuse-making promoted among gun owners, and I see you need to be a “VIP” to even see comments, let alone respond.

Baby Needs a New Pair of Jackboots

Biden’s budget proposal contains $1.9 billion for the ATF. This is a 13.6 percent increase over 2022 and half a billion dollars more than the agency’s fiscal 2020 budget. If passed as written, Biden’s budget would expand the ATF by 35.7 percent—an overall growth of more than 50 percent since the Obama administration. [More]

Don’t your oppressors deserve the very best?

LASD Gang Charges Underscore Threat of Enforcers Being ‘Only Ones’ with Guns

“There is at least a half dozen, and possibly more, Deputy Gangs and Deputy Cliques currently in the Department, primarily at patrol stations,” the report elaborates. “They include the Executioners, the Banditos, the Regulators, the Spartans, the Gladiators, the Cowboys and the Reapers.” [More]

Sounds like the most dangerous gang is the LASD because they’re the ones empowered by “law” to enforce citizen disarmament diktats…
