The proposed regulation raises the fee for a SAEC and COE Verification check from $1.00 to $5.00…The rulemaking is complete. On May 12, 2025, the Office of Administrative Law approved the regulations and filed them with the Secretary of State. The regulations become effective on July 1, 2025. [More]
They do it because they can.
Guess who won’t pay.

An Age-Old Question
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging Connecticut’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns. [More]
Good– it makes a key undeniable point:
Over 200 colonial and Founding-era militia statutes throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries not only permitted, but affirmatively mandated that persons aged eighteen to twenty acquire and keep arms.
In Great Demand?
During late debate over budget reconciliation proposals, a coalition of Second Amendment organizations is demanding that short barreled rifles and shotguns, as well as sound suppressors be removed from regulation under the 1934 National Firearms Act. [More]
Good idea. Some questions:
- Where are the big gun groups?
- How can gun owners get involved, or is one letter it?
- Is anyone keeping track of each member contacted, and whether or not they’ve responded and how?
- And if they don’t?
Gun Owners Could Publicly Put ‘Former Republican’ Jolly on Spot for Betraying Them
So, why not ask him what he told NRA to get them to mobilize their members on his behalf? [More]
Or to paraphrase Sir Wilfrid in Witness for the Prosecution, “The question is, Mr. Jolly, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?”

Ursula Get Your Gun
So Ursula, get your gun and make sure that everyone else gets theirs too. [More]
That’s the thing– when it comes to the people, she won’t, so by the time they’re forced to hand them out it’ll be too late.
This article is light on that, but the bottom line is, tech and drones notwithstanding, the men on the ground with rifles will be the ones controlling it.

Gun violence restraining order imposed against Carlsbad man linked to Madison, Wisconsin school shooter…Though criminal charges have not been filed against Alexander Paffendorf, 20… Paffendorf was detained by law enforcement and his home was searched. While no guns were found and no guns were registered to him, an emergency gun violence protective order was obtained late last year. [More]
And we all know those keep dangerous people from getting guns, don’t they?

An Age-Old Question
The text of the Second Amendment encompasses the purchase of firearms by 18-to20-year-olds, as the en banc majority below did not dispute, Pet.App.43a–44a, and as the majority was also forced to acknowledge, “the Founding era lacked express prohibitions on the purchase of firearms” by 18-to-20-year-olds. Id. at 30a. Indeed, the eighteenth century laws that come closest to reflecting a “Founding-era policy on age and firearms”—militia laws throughout the Nation obliging eighteen-year-olds to muster for militia service bearing firearms they were legally obligated to acquire for themselves—in fact “reflect the policy that eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds should be armed.” Id. at 159a (Brasher, J., dissenting). That should have been the beginning and the end of any suggestion that Florida’s age ban “is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). [More]

A Little Something for Everyone?
Department of Justice Announces Settlement of Litigation Between the Federal Government and Rare Breed Triggers… The settlement includes agreed-upon conditions that significantly advance public safety with respect to FRTs, including that Rare Breed will not develop or design FRTs for use in any pistol and will enforce its patents to prevent infringement that could threaten public safety. Rare Breed also agrees to promote the safe and responsible use of its products. [More]
It’s a yuge step.
It’s also not “shall not be infringed.”

To Themselves and Their Posterity
Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), the daughter of an illegal migrant, used a hearing today to berate Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem and demand her resignation. “In my state, let me be clear, you are not welcome,” Ramirez told Noem before demanding her resignation. [More]
The daughter of illegals claiming it’s her state and citizens aren’t welcome ought to be an object lesson. Stop using “migrant,” Breitbart.

Silencing Critics
Deleted the tweet calling @Silencercentral liars but leaving my reply to them as it still begs some questions. [More]
That’s a common misuse of the term, but we get the meaning.
This and denials by Cox and Kustoff highlight the importance of making sure of your target before touching the trigger. I’d guess the only reasons there haven’t been lawsuits is because they wouldn’t be worth it in terms of further alienation and deep enough pockets.
I haven’t said much about this whole recent suppressor flap other than I just don’t get why so many prominent 2A community voices are getting everybody excited over what the committee does when they know a bill will never reach the president’s desk. And these are the same “gun rights leaders” who have remained dead silent about the “pro-gun” Trump administration’s DOJ arguing that banning machineguns doesn’t violate the Second Amendment.
