JBTs Gonna JBT

The federal government has been using Americans’ income and gun purchases to conduct warrantless tracking and deny Second Amendment rights. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) gave salary estimates to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as the reason to have people’s firearms purchases monitored. [More]

So does that mean IRS is giving them the income data?

No Damns Left to Give

San Francisco District Supervisor Hillary Ronen is “begging” for more police officers in the Mission District. Crime is out of control, and the city absolutely has to do something about it… Hillary Ronen is the one to ask. She led the fight to defund the police, after all. [More]

And lemme guess: Hillary wearing her gangbangers for gun control hat doesn’t want private citizens to be able to defend themselves either.

I’d say her constituents deserve exactly what they voted for. And plenty more of it.

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. [More]

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”?

Senators Menendez, Warren urge regulators to support new gun sale code [More]

And that tells me everything I need to know, too.

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.
