Rules for Rules

Sen. Johnson introduces legislation to fix serious problems in Ohio… SB 278 seeks to add teeth to the law by giving individuals the power to seek punitive damages against cities that pass gun control measures… SB 279 would make it illegal for a business, state agency, or political subdivision from preventing an off-duty law enforcement officer from carrying a firearm. [More]

So those who would impose new laws on us willfully violate what’s already on the books with impunity? Yeah, punishing Democrats would be nice. Too bad it’s not the politicians themselves who have to pay but the poor tax slobs they already overburden.

As for off-duty cops, yeah, I know, it’s another carve out for “Only Ones,” but like I said in my Firearms News report exposing the illegal rule at Youngstown State’s stadium and citing existing Ohio Revised Code:

[T]he issue here is YSU officials do not have authority to override state preemption on gun laws and impose local prohibitions.

So, basically, we’re talking two new laws to enforce two existing laws.

And here you thought government was ludicrously overblown, redundant, and wasteful…

We’re the Only Ones Torched Enough

Blue city street takeover suspects torched police cruiser in ‘hell-bent’ attack on cops: union chief [More]

‘Takeover” = conquest. Temporary, for now.

In other words, Democrat cities can’t only not protect you, the Only Ones can’t protect themselves and they won’t allow you to protect yourself.

I wonder what Sam Adams and John Hancock would have had to say about that.

Looking around for more information on Boston lawlessness, I found a hypocritical excuse for a projected homicide increase:

…small increases in homicides look large in percentage terms

What have I been saying about the grabbers using rates to try and paint low population red states with concentrations of blue as more violent? A few incidents within a smaller overall population will yield a higher RATE than many incidents within a larger population.

A New York State of Mind

Repeat Offender With 33 Arrests Kills Brooklyn Church Usher After “Kind” Gesture – His accused killer, a man with 33 arrests, walked free until he met a good man holding a door. And that act of kindness cost an innocent New Yorker his life. [More]

There oughta be a law.

Democrats made sure the guy getting his head repeatedly stomped on was forbiddn by law to defend himself with a gun.

What is it with people holding doors getting murdered by feral retards?

Glock-Blocking

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning sales of one of the most popular types of handgun in the U.S… It covers handguns manufactured by Glock, as well as similarly designed pistols, that use a “cruciform trigger bar,” which lawmakers said makes them easily convertible to fully automatic fire. [More]

So that’s what being “a trusted partner of law enforcement” gets you…

That and “compromising” to save your skin…

The “cool” thing is the “Only Ones” exemption is still there! That might actually be what keeps the PLCAA in play, although I’m sure there are Democrat activist federal judges eager to impose nationwide injunctions.

And I’m sure there’ll be no shortage of gun companies eager to keep the enforcers armed and ready to confiscate.

Related UPDATE

Ah, here we go:

The bottom line is the DOJ’s ultimate conclusion is okie dokie with us. But but sort of some of the methodological arguments they made: Not so smoothie poothie.

I get that it might not be the “right” case. That doesn’t excuse the arguments.

On a side note, I haven’t cringed that much since GW said “Pootie-Poot.”

The Blowup That Didn’t Have to Happen

We bring this to your attention because the facts upon which we made our original video have changed, and you deserve to know that. It also means that some who have placed a lot of weight into this issue, believing it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, should also reevaluate what weight they attach to this. [Watch]

Yes, it was the court that ruled to provide the membership lists, but what the Bondi apologists are all giving a pass to is that it was DOJ that “Ruined a Big Win“:

So 5:59 what the United States Department of 6:00 Justice proposed is that it would apply 6:02 only to the named plaintiffs and to any 6:05 member of the organization who was 6:07 members of the organization way back in 6:09 2020 when the complaint was filed and 6:12 only if they are identified.

I guess there’s more to be gained circling the wagons and beating up on Dudley, who, in my opinion, did not read the room for what is either possible or likely, and practically guaranteed the apologists and competitor rice bowl groups would seize the opportunity to pile on NAGR, and significantly, ignore DOJ being the catalyst.

Note it didn’t “clarify” that it doesn’t want lists until after the brouhaha broke out, and this could have all been avoided if gun owners and the administration had a way to coordinate expectations with realities beforehand and avoid the chronic bipolarity that drags everyone along with it.

A Forced Reset

ATF charging individuals for 3D-printed FRTs [More]

Maybe we missed a footnote in the memo…?

Looks like some FA was going on before FO kicked into gear … but still, from a “shall not be infringed” point of view…

Comment from an advisor:

The ATF special agent swore out a a false statement “FRT has the capability to turn a semi auto rifle into a fully auto rifle”. I guess he/she/it/they did not get the memo posted on the DOJ website? PS: Dude was a fool to do this in DC and bigger fool to attempt to install into a rented range gun.

As for who the “gun rights lawyer with a significant amount of legal 3D2A experience” might be, an AI search yielded this:

who is r/FOSSCAD top law blawg?
Based on available information, there is no designated “top law blawg” for the FOSSCAD community. FOSSCAD is a decentralized and leaderless online community, not an organization with official spokespeople or designated legal bloggers. The group focuses on the development and sharing of open-source designs for 3D-printed firearms.
For legal information, members typically rely on community discussions and independent research, though they are subject to legal scrutiny and potential law enforcement action.
Here’s why you won’t find a single, authoritative legal voice for FOSSCAD:
Decentralized structure: The FOSSCAD community defines itself as a “decentralized cluster of people and bots” with “no members or leaders”. This makes the concept of an official legal authority incompatible with its structure.
Legal risk: Providing legal advice, particularly regarding the manufacturing of firearms, is highly regulated. An individual positioning themselves as the definitive “law blawg” for this topic would open themselves up to significant legal and professional risks.
Legal complexity: The laws around 3D-printed firearms (“ghost guns”) are complex and vary significantly between federal, state, and local jurisdictions. What is legal in one state may be a felony in another, and these laws are subject to constant change.
Recent platform bans: The r/fosscad subreddit, a hub for the community, was banned from Reddit in September 2025. This shows how platforms can restrict these discussions, making a long-running, public legal “blawg” unlikely to thrive.
For legal questions about 3D-printed firearms, individuals within the FOSSCAD community often refer to official sources or consult legal professionals, as online legal commentary is not considered authoritative.

An Age-Old Question

Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the DOJ does not believe that the McCoy vs ATF should be the next 2A SCOTUS case. Why did DOJ say this? Mark Smith, Four Boxes Diner, discusses [Watch]

I’m not afraid to say so when I think he’s not being objective considering all factors, or just generally playing see-no-evil administration cheerleader. That said, I think he’s correct here.

We’re the Only Ones Oath-Breaking Enough

A Washington judge issued a TRO that, among other restraints, prohibited this Montana guy from possessing firearms. The TRO was communicated to the town where the Montana guy lives and the local police department enforced the TRO by confiscating all of this Montana guy’s firearms. Done. Because this guy had not been to Washington in three decades and because the accusing girlfriend recanted her story of threat, the judge reviewing the TRO dismissed it. However, this Montana victim still cannot get his firearms returned. [More]

It would help if we had names of all involved. Shame on those Montana “Only Ones.”

Note Seattle cops won’t help ICE enforce immigration law, but Montana cops will enforce Washington diktats. F_n’ jackboots.

This is why Oath Keepers’ “Orders We Will Not Obey” were so important, and why tyrants feared it and smeared it, to where it’s unlikely to be resurrected in any substantive form.

You really had something, Stewart. And you blew it.

And They Say There are No Stupid Questions

Our Next Debate: Would America Be Safer Without the Second Amendment? [More]

There’s nothing to debate.

Remember what Mr. Paine said [link downloads Word doc]:

The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. And while a single nation refuses to lay them down, it is proper that all should keep them up. Horrid mischief would ensue were one-half the world deprived of the use of them; for while avarice and ambition have a place in the heart of man, the weak will become a prey to the strong. The history of every age and nation establishes these truths, and facts need but little arguments when they prove themselves.

That balance of power must exist between government and governed or tyranny will prevail.

The Second Amendment does not authorize predatory abuse of arms any more than the First authorizes libel, fraud, and perjury. Since the right to arms is a preexisting one, amending the Constitution would not eliminate, the right, just the government’s recognition of it, and try changing that and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet in terms of body counts.

Dershowitz is an impotent old fool, what Aaron Zelman called a “bagel brained Jew,” serving here in the role of ideological kapo.
