Bullet Points

“Another Backdoor Attempt at Registration” – GOA on Ammunition Background Checks [Watch]

I see the Newsmax hostess is a little uneasy with the prospect of NO prior restraints/confiscation enabling. If they need convincing, imagine the mindset of the general public that has only been exposed to the DSM.

Who are the Democrats and what is the name of the bill?

It would help if there was a corresponding post on GOA’s website identifying it by number and sponsor so we could see what it says and also check Govtrack for a prognosis on odds of enactment and the need to prioritize and spend energy on it now.

Most of the stuff I’m seeing coming from both sides is pre-midterms posturing to spook respective low-information herds.

Survey SAYS…

In the more detailed breakdown of the results, Lott found that the greatest movement in the views of respondents came in the “Strongly Support” and “Strongly Oppose” categories. “Strongly Support” fell by more than half when more specifics about “red flag” laws were included; plummeting from 34% with the first question, to 14% with the more detailed second question. “Strongly Oppose,” meanwhile, climbed from 18% to 29%.

Great. Now, who’s going to tell the public, which gets its disinformation from lying Democrats and the DSM (but I repeat myself) while truths like this are buried, suppressed, demonetized, and ridiculed?

Jonesing for Publicity

Teenagers deserve the right and should be out riding bikes and having fun, playing ball, not dodging bullets. This is my second teen in three or four days. [More]

Maybe the problem isn’t with guns per se, and that opportunistic political whores who encourage poor choices up to and including lawlessness and rioting owe more to their communities than a photo op hospital visit to benefit from the predictable results of his handiwork…?

Return You Will to Old Brazil

‘The police come here to hunt’: Brazilian cops kill at 9 times the rate of U.S. law enforcement [More]

What does that really mean, who are they killing, and what kind of circumstances are we talking about here? And how does that compare with the “good old days”?

Seems kind of self-defeating that Brazilians are poised to oust the guy who wants them armed and bring in a corrupt Marxist who demands disarming them and bringing back an “Only Ones”-enforced monopoly of violence.

It figures the DSM would put out a timely hit piece to help make that happen, with The Los Angeles Times leading the pack.

At this rate, Arizona won’t lead the pack for long.

And my, oh, my, I could swear I’ve been repeatedly told over the years by people with a lot more reach than I have that this is no concern for “single issue” gun groups…

Funny thing–none of them will take the challenge.

An Offering to the Gods

But now, some doctors are restarting donors’ hearts after a planned cardiac arrest when life-sustaining treatment is withdrawn — meaning that the cardiac arrest wasn’t necessarily irreversible — and then causing brain death so that beating hearts can be harvested. [More]

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I wonder if this might be another indicator of why gunquacks are bent on upping risks through disarmament…

South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)

U.S. judge dismisses Mexico’s $10 billion lawsuit against gun makers, Mexico to appeal [More]

If the Republicans manage not to blow November, I’d like to see some economic retaliation for all the acts of war perpetrated against the U.S. by these bastards. Both in terms of aid and trade.

Hit ’em where it hurts. Make not playing ball the worst option.

If “we” were doing things right, it would be profitable for them to control the border.

Something Katz Dragged In

“We have had enough,” Katz said in a statement announcing the indictment. “There are basic rights that New Yorkers should have in this City, and one of them is the right to safety when commuting to work, using the subway to take our children to school, and knowing we can safely come home to our families.” [More]

That must be why she wants your guns.

Unethical Life

Ethical Life podcast: What do hunters say about increased gun regulations? [More]

They say they’re fine with them as long as they’ve got theirs, even though they know they don’t work.

Richard Kyte: What hunters say about guns might surprise you.

No, I don’t think it would.

Polyphemus may have told the Fudds he would eat them last, but eat them he will if the ones they’re throwing under the bus fall.

FBI’s Las Vegas Shooter Report Raises Serious Unanswered Questions. What NFA Weapons?

The bottom line is “bump stocks,” which were “legal” at the time, could not have been the “illegally possessed prohibited firearms” referred to in the “Paddock” report. So what weapon/s are they referring to? [More]

ATF ‘Brace Amnesty’ Is an Unworkable Entrapment that Dictates Terms of Surrender

“MAYBE what it will do is get some Member(s) of Congress to request GAO to do a forensic audit of the NFRTR to determine its accuracy and reliability,” another one of my “small cadre” advisors chimed in, pointing out the elephant in the room that “amnesty” proponents don’t much want to talk about. [More]

They have no authority to do it, they have no capability to do it, and on top of that, it’s a trap.  Sounds like SOP for ATF.
