Recollections of Decades-Old Crime Omit Key Details about Assailant

With that as a backdrop, in between capitalizing on her notoriety through selling her story and her sex tapes, Fisher served a brief stint as an opinion columnist, where she advocated for the government disarming those of us who haven’t shot innocent people in the face.[More]

Y’ever notice how those who can’t — or won’t — control themselves are so obsessed with controlling the rest of us?

The Devil to Pay

In Washington, Democrats in Olympia are looking at adding $100 to the nonrefundable fee for a concealed pistol license, jacking the cost up from $36 to $136… In neighboring Oregon, there’s a move on via House Bill 4145 which would raise the cost of a permit-to-purchase from the $65 maximum to $150. [More]

What are these carry fees everyone is so upset about?

The THING That Would Not Leave

Anti-gun group 97Percent is back, now led by anti-gun ex-cop [More]

I’ve been warning against these Astro-Turfers since they first came on the scene and pretty consistently thereafter. I see “lifelong Republican” Olivia Troye needs a new gig, but before worrying she’ll suffer the same fate as Ladd, take heart: I just saw her in the news the other day where she predicted another six weeks of winter.

Brace Yourselves

They say that the court cannot enjoin the ATF from enforcing legal theories, only final agency rules. They argue that because the pistol brace rule no longer exists, the court has no authority to block the ATF’s interpretation that brace pistols are in fact SBRs. In other words, they are not denying that they hold that legal view at all. They are only saying that the court cannot stop them from using it. And that is a huge red flag. And so in this case, they’re saying, you know, the rule is dead. Throw this case out, but you cannot touch any underlying legal theories that we have because that’s not an at issue in this case.

In the Kapu Tradition

Requires businesses or restaurants open to the public to post a color-coded placard indicating whether the business or restaurant allows firearms or large knives to be brought onto the premises. By January 1, 2027, requires the Department of Law Enforcement to provide businesses and restaurants with free and easily downloadable placards. Effective 1/1/2027. [More]

From this un-American who presents himself as the opposite… Hey, if he can exploit copyrighted characters for political campaigning, does that constitute a reportable in-kind contribution?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Babylon Bee Defeats Hawaii Law That Forbids Political Satire [More]

I guess if you can ignore the Second Amendment with no personal cost, why would you be worried about subverting the First?

To paraphrase Rhett Butler, Hawaii Democrats deserve to be ridiculed, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Judging Jeanine

“You bring a gun into the district, you mark my words, you’re going to jail,” Pirro said in the interview. “I don’t care if you have a license in another district, and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this district, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back.” [More]

Don’t let her lie her way out of it:

Rocky Mountain Low

A new bill introduced in Colorado would require gun barrel purchases to be made in-person at a firearm dealer. Senate Bill 26-043, which was introduced last week, would also ban the possession of any firearm barrels “with the intent to sell or transfer” and add criminal penalties for violation… Sullivan and Froelich are also sponsoring Senate Bill 26-004, which would expand the state’s “Red Flag” law by adding a list of “institutional petitioners” that could petition a court for an Extreme Risk Protection Order. [More]

Curiously, none of these people will appear at your door.

Breaking the Bank

JPMorgan Chase recently announced the banking giant’s policy of denying services to manufacturers of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) is over. That’s a welcome reversal of policy after NSSF met with JPMorgan Chase officials to work to end the discriminatory policy. It is also the most recent of the big banks, including Bank of America and Citigroup that have shifted banking service policies that previously froze out members of the firearm industry. [More]

About damn time for all of them, and Morgan has been particularly offensive.

Now, what about “Merchant Category Codes“?

Hey, when the house of cards collapses, who’s in for more “too big to fail” bailouts?

And not to put too fine a point to it, but MSR seems counterproductive to me.

An OFF Day

HB  4145 will be heard on the first day of the 2026 session—Monday, Feb 2 at 3 p.m.—in Hearing Room B in the Capitol. This will be a meeting of the House Judiciary Committee… As we noted in the previous post, this bill doubles the time you must wait to receive a “permit” to attempt to purchase a firearm and jacks up all fees. [More]

And:

So as of now, Sunday morning, you cannot post testimony about HB 4145. [More]

But hey, who but a fascist would complain about standing army exceptions?

UPDATE

Via email:

Now, three hours before the hearing you can finally upload testimony against HB 4145.

DOJ Filing on Forced Reset Triggers Contradicts Pledges and Complicates Midterms

“You gotta win the midterms ’cause, if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just gonna be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” [More]

You’d think “a very stable genius” with so much skin in the game would know better than to let his people douse the fire in gunvoter bellies.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

1 in custody, 1 injured, after shooting on campus of Mott Community College [More]

Doesn’t anybody read the rules anymore?

Acts Of Prohibited Conduct Include, But Not Limited To … possession or storage of any weapon … on college premises or at college sponsored activities either on or off campus.

So, what’s an attackee to do?

As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the shooter.

How, with those rules in place?

Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her.

Heck of a time to find out what’s possible.

Throwing items and improvising weapons.

As opposed to slinging lead with proven tools…

Yelling

Yo, killer, here I am!

Committing to your actions.

Trust me,. once you call attention to yourself, you’ll be committed.

Off Their Trolley

A Kansas City man contacted KMBC 9 Investigates after witnessing a man push a woman to the ground and steal a package on the streetcar on Wednesday…. “It was just a situation to where if, I think if a security guard had been on the streetcar at that time, he could have intervened immediately,” Roberts said. [More]

Unless the guard decided to secure himself from danger instead.

And it’s not like she’d have been allowed the means to defend herself.
