I don’t know what’s so damn hard to understand about “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

A Weapon of War
Harris reveals owning a Glock: ‘Of course’ I’ve fired it [More]
So, essentially a firearm that functions in exactly the same way as those “assault weapons” she demands we surrender, and a weapon that militaries around the world deploy with.
All we can do is point it out.

A Change of Heart?
Elon Musk Passionately Defends The Second Amendment At Trump Rally ~ VIDEO [More]
So he’s renouncing all those infringements he said he supported?
Breaking Some Eggs
Justice Alito Wrecks ATF’s ‘Ghost Gun’ Argument: Are Eggs and Peppers an Omelet?[More]
So are John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett bent on scrambling things?
Mark W. Smith has some interesting thoughts, including “if the ATF theory is allowed here, then drilling a single hole in AR-15s to convert it into a machine gun means that an AR-15 is “readily convertable” into a machine gun and thus a machine gun. SCOTUS will need to issue a ruling to avoid this result.”
The Results of Compliance
California keeps a database on on firearm owners in that state that is extremely extensive and there’s really no way to get around that in that state… [Watch]
This bill would, beginning on March 1, 2025, additionally require the register or record to include the acknowledgment by the purchaser or transferee that they have, within the past 30 days, confirmed possession of every firearm that they own or possess.
Well, there actually is a way to get around it, but it comes with a risk. And I do still have mine, and it’s safe from them.
That post, incidentally, elicited all kinds of vitriol from bloviating anonymous keyboard warriors on AR15.com, including comments like “Reads like GOA bullshit. Stopped reading after I’d seen enough.” and “Interview with treasonous communist shitheads that will hopefully choke on a chicken bone and die.”
And people wonder why I don’t join forums…

A Second Wind
Hurricane guns: DeSantis orders no suspensions, no limits on gun sales during storm [More]
It’s ridiculous that this is even an issue, but government…
What kind of absolute statist moron would disarm the people at the time they needed to protect themselves the most?
Ol’ Don Hagan sure made a permanent name for himself, didn’t he?
And if you think Helene exposed FEMA, Milton is just getting warmed up.

Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked Friday night while walking near their home in New York City, according to a spokesperson for Paterson. [More]
Gee. That’s too bad.

Just Like the Founders Used to Do
It’s time to ban guns from every polling place in America. [More]
Yeah, we see how intimidated everybody was by the guy with the rifle.
A Lawler Unto Himself
Blackface photo shakes up toss-up House district in NY – Rep. Michael Lawler, R-N.Y. is facing controversy over a 2006 Halloween costume in which he dressed in blackface [More]
So we could get a racist gun-grabbing Democrat instead of a racist gun-grabbing Republican?

Verdict in on ATF
Jury acquits former Kenai gun shop owner on federal firearms charge [More]
What I want to know is who the snitches who contacted ATF were.
Right-wingers, if you can believe The Atlantic.

Sorry or Sorry, Not Sorry?
I spoke directly with Mayor Dowling Watford and Police Chief Donald Hagan. Both profusely apologized and explained that at no point was it their intention to strip the residents and business owners of their Second Amendment rights. [More]
I’d prefer officials do things my way because they share my convictions, but if they just do it out of fear I can live with it.
Ghost of a Chance
Justices to hear challenge to regulation of unserialized ‘ghost guns’ [More]
The Founders couldn’t have imagined unserialized guns, right…?
Better Safe Than Sorry
The Illinois Attorney General’s office has apologized to a federal judge demanding answers after implying his ruling against the state’s mass transit concealed carry ban has “safety implications.” [More]
And that is the difference between a Trump-appointed judge and what Kamala will put on the bench.
True, his won’t all be perfectly consistent. But you can bet hers will be.

Celebrity’s Charity Ban Speaks to Character of Gun Prohibitionists
These are the “One Percenters” the Antifa-types rail against. That they’re given a pass tells us much. [More]
How stupid would you have to be to demand the government control you because lottery-winning narcissits who can’t — or won’t — control themselves demand it?
We’re from the Government and We’re Here to Help
Before the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSA), only two notable mass shootings had occurred on school campuses. Since the passage of this legislation, many Americans can name over ten incidents without needing to research. [More]
“Safety” is just the excuse. It always has been.
Citizen disarmament freaks have bloood on their hands. Don’t let it be your children’s.
According to His Nature
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights. [More]
So… does this mean they’re reconsidering…?
According to Her Nature
“If this were truly a public health emergency, she would have enacted the preamble when the bill was signed back in July. Now that we are close to gathering the signatures needed to suspend the law for two years, she’s invoking an emergency preamble to sidestep the will of the people. She’s acting more like a dictator than a governor,” Toby Leary, the owner of a Cape Cod gun store and a leader of the group, said in a statement. [More]
Well, yeah…
How can there still be any question as to what these people are?

This Day in History
On October 2, 1835, the growing tensions between Mexico and Texas erupt into violence when Mexican soldiers attempt to disarm the people of Gonzales, sparking the Texan war for independence. [More]

Whichever Way You Slice It
Reports confirm that the man has attacked a father and his helpless toddler with a knife, causing the dad to spring into action to protect himself and his child. The father proceeded to fight the thug, and both ended up suffering stab wounds in the process. [More]
A gun could have stopped this without a shot being fired. Everyone against concealed carry shares a portion of the blame for the bloody outcome.

By the Numbers
Violent crime dropping in St. Louis, city officials say [More]
And officials have no idea why, meaning it’s sure not anything they’re doing.
Maybe if they add some unarmed targets in the form of violence interrupters they can get those numbers back up again.

Is This the One?
The Supreme Court is back in session as of Monday October 7th and they have a case before them in Snope v. Brown that could end all bans nationwide. This comes from a 4th circuit decision upholding the Maryland ban. [Watch]
There’s a huge difference between “could” and “will.”
Cross your fingers and wish for the best, but don’t invest all your hope.

He Puts the ‘Sap’ in Sapraicone
Gillibrand vs. Sapraicone: The Race for US Senate forum [Watch]
So. Mike is for “red flag laws and background checks”?
Then why should I believe someone who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment won’t betray us on semiautos the first chance he gets to distance himself from another “gun-free zone” exploitation?
She has such a huge lead anyway, why should the gun owners in her district who aren’t Fudds bust their humps on a losing battle to push for a betrayer with an (R) after his name, and what message would that send the GOP on acceptable candidates?
On with the Show!
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year. [More]
Having personally seen California gun show attendees ignore attempts to preserve RKBA, I have to say their apathy has brought much of their plight upon themselves. The same ones probably haven’t contributed a dime to this case.
Out of Range

We’re the Only Ones Retracting Enough
“This is something that was mistakenly enacted. Once we learned that the emergency order was not the order that we intended to declare, we immediately terminated it,” Det. Jarret Romanello, Public Information Officer for the Okeechobee City Police Department, told CBS12 News on Monday. [More]
How may revisions until you came up with the weasel words you thought were least laughable, Jarrett? Tell us you people are inexcusably incompetent without telling us you people are inexcusably incompetent.
And then they posture like the injured party:
“He’s not here today because he was subject to personal attacks all day from all over this country,” Romanello said, referring to Chief Hagan. “Most of the noise is coming from people that live outside the city of Okeechobee.”
So nonlocal opinions aren’t valid? Which logical fallacy is that again? And you’re sayingdeserved criticism is a valid reason to hide under the desk?
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, Boss Hagan deserves to be so attacked, and often, and by people who know how. As do his stooges.
