A Trigger Rock in Richmond?

Virginia Dems’ Gun Control Blitzkrieg Should be a Warning to Gun Owners Nationwide [More]

It should have been a warning before the election.

Who thinks the necessary coordination and participation we didn’t see at the state level will manifest itself nationwide to thwart gerrymandering?

Andy M. points out that some of my critics will not be happy with Mark W. Smith saying this (7:40 in):

[We] really need for a whole bunch of reasons including to continue to push that most important issue which is even which is the most important issue when it comes to our second amendment right to keeps and that is the immigration issue kicking out the people shouldn’t be here. kicking out the people that may be illegally voting, kicking out the people that have no interest in the right to
keep and bear arms.

I’m working on a rebuttal to their deliberate, and often hostile avoidance of the facts. I’m delighted to see a much more influential voice than mine picking up this banner, and will make sure to cite this in my sequel to this.

Who Will Guard the Guardians?

Florida Lawmakers Move to Allow ‘Guardians’ to Carry Guns on College Campuses [More]

I never did care for the sheepdog analogy, expecting someone else to take risks on my behalf that I’m not willing to assume myself. That’s what got us into their “Only Ones” mess in the first place.

As for me being one, I’m with Rick Blaine.

And as for listening to Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, I’m not about to take self-defense advice from a man who can’t even protect his own husband.

 I Always Knew I’d Get It in Toontown

Judge Blocks Lawyer’s Distribution of Animation That Allegedly Shows “Uncommanded Discharge” of Sig Sauer Pistol – “This Animation is literally false as a factual matter,” the judge concludes, issuing a permanent injunction against the use of the animation for advertising purposes. [More]

What is it with “artists” getting technical details wrong?

And switching gears, a typo I made when putting in a tag came up with a neologism:

Nuncommanded discharge…

That’s Gratitude for Ya

The crowd greeted Albanese and Tony Burke, the home affairs minister, by calling them “genocide supporters” and “putrid dog.” They even chant “Allahu Akbar.” [More]

So this is what happens when useful idiots are no longer needed…?

Albanese… Albanese… isn’t he the fella who wants all his countrymen’s guns?

An Unqualified Opinion

Oh, look: False authority. Lemme show you what I mean.

Meet self-identified Korea/Vietnam vet Paul A. Ransom, who “expertly” informs us:

The explosive in a bullet is the same as the explosive in a bomb. Just a smaller amount. Bombs are under tight control. Bombs can be purchased, but not without the proper credentials. We as American citizens have the right to bare arms, but nothing in the Constitution gives us the right to have a bomb or bullets. 

Remember who one of our greatest “war heroes” once was.

In the Spirit of Aloha

Why are residents being charged multiple fees not authorized by law? Why are residents being charged at all when the County is already paying for the system? Why is confidential firearm data being handled by a private company? And who is ensuring compliance with Hawaiʻi statutes? [More]

And why is such a “public/private partnership” not referred to by it’s true name?

Point/Counterpoint

Armed with military-grade weapons smuggled from the U.S., the 50-man force is one of dozens of “autodefensa,” or “self-defense,” groups that have emerged over the past decade in Mexico to fight increasingly sophisticated cartels in areas far out of the reach of security forces. [More]

Which FFL are they getting them from?

And just to show there are two sides to every story:

We Traced How U.S. Guns Get to Mexican Cartels [More]

How come commie Antifa/No Kings types never come after cartels? Are the defenders worth siding with? Let God sort ’em out?

American guns fueling Mexican violence, so we need to curtail rights here? This looks like just what the media narrative was before all hell broke loose.

We’re the Only Ones Overreacting Enough

For a misdemeanor charge of possessing 38 rounds of ammo without an FOID card? This is how regimes enforce “commonsense gun safety laws”? Even those that are dominated by “law-and-order Republicans”?

Those are some heavy duty “military style” assault vehicles the standing army sheriff sent out for that. It brings to mind a question I asked some years back about how the Battle of Athens would go today.

Must Not Get Out Much

“It’s the most profound thing I’ve literally ever heard,” one TikTok user said. [More]

A line from “Deteriorata” comes to mind:

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet

Tell us more about how profound Ethan Hawke is:

…we need to take guns out of the hands of young people out of, you know, what’s the expression? Common sense gun laws, you know, I mean, that is it no-brainer…

See what I mean?

Yep, the wrong people are “influencers.“

The Safety Dance

Missiles hit Dubai. Influencer still claims it’s safer than US cities
Influencer Mike Babayan says he still feels safe in Dubai as missiles strike the region. [More]

Google AI…? What say you?

Many freedoms protected in the U.S. are illegal in Dubai, UAE, due to strict conservative laws and autocratic governance. Key restrictions include prohibitions on criticizing the government, public displays of affection, LGBTQ+ rights, independent media, public protests, and certain expressions of religion. Violating these can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation. U.S. Department of State (.gov)

Not that I’m saying AI is GIGO curated leftist opinion or anything, but it avoided something. I said “avoided” instead of “forgot,” because it knows:

Dubai has extremely strict gun laws under UAE Federal Law No. 17 of 2019, making private firearm ownership difficult and heavily regulated. Licenses are required for purchasing or possessing weapons, with illegal possession resulting in severe penalties like imprisonment and deportation. Ownership is limited to specific purposes like sport or hunting, requiring strict licensing.

Mr. Franklin…? (And yes, I’m aware of original context.)

Maybe the wrong people are “influencers.”

Still, he has a point about cities and the dangerous oppressiveness of Democrat rule.

Survey SAYS…

19 Million Americans Have Seriously Thought About Shooting Someone, National Survey Suggests [More]

Outside of playing cowboy as a child, I don’t recall even fantasizing, let alone seriously considering. Even during my DGU, I hoped things would go no further.

So, what are we talking here about with homicides, like two-tenths of one percent of those who think about it act on it? And factoring in suicides and justifiable shootings, we need to impose fundamental rights-denying prohibitions on the 99.9+ percent, rather than focus on removing those who can’t be trusted from access to the rest of us?

Pick Your Poison

March For Our Lives Backs Federal Gun Ban for Marijuana Users [More]

That’s just what they’ll admit to for now.

Don’t doubt they’re also for gun bans for alcohol drinkers.

And for gun owners.

They’re not the young, hip kids their professional PR flacks paint them out to be– they’re humorless, blue-nosed prohibitionists, biddies, and control freaks.
