What Price Freedom?

AK Loyalists Won’t Admit It, but the Platform Might Be Finished in America… Ammo Prices: The AK’s Last Big Selling Point Is Gone… 5.45×39 has basically dead [sic]in the USA, thanks to import bans and dried-up stockpiles [More]

For some reason this reminds me of an argument I had as a boy: Who would win? Batman or Tarzan? The real question is “Why, in the land of the Second Amendment, are there “import bans”?

Seems to me that Trump could trump Biden. Especially since American gun owners are being punished for the alleged crimes of unknown someones else: “It is believed that Russia is the only known country to have used Novichok and the nerve agent is only available to Russian state authorities.” [Emphasis added]

Take the ammo first, due process later?

And then there’s GCA 68, with “sporting purpose” exemptions for import bans.

Who makes that determination? And who’s their boss?

While gun owners are arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, when it comes to costs responsible for the divide they’re missing the main cause. And you’d think Trump, getting hammered on the economy, would find it useful to give his biggest supporters a price break.

So…. where is the Second Amendment Task Force on this? Where are the “gun groups”? Then again, if they change it the antis would have a field day when one of their constituents shot up the next “gun-free zone” with imported AK rounds.

Is that what we’ll accept as an impediment to our rights that we can’t get around? Because there will be more bloodbaths of opportunity as long as enforced victim pools exist, and if we cede ground here, they’ll occupy it and them move in closer. To argue otherwise is to deny what everyone can see but some, on “both sides,” won’t admit.

What, No Payback?

The City CONCEDED its ordinance violates state law.
Memphis admitted that every line of its handgun-carry ban, vehicle-storage rule, so-called “assault rifle” ban, and red-flag scheme is 100% illegal under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1314. (Order pp. 3, 9–11) The Judge called the ordinance “DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.” The Chancellor wrote that “The Ordinance and those who proposed it engaged in ‘virtue signaling,’” but “the Ordinance is as dead as a proverbial doornail as a matter of Tennessee law.” (Order p. 6) Simply put, the Memphis ordinance is entirely unenforceable.

So what will hold them accountable, make them pay, and discourage future in-your-face infringements?

The Silver Lining

NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will become a National Anti-gun Force [More]

I hope he does.

Because so far, their most successful weapon has been to call citizen disarmament “commonsense gun safety,” and someone who wants to ban them all neutralizes another lie.

Maddeningly, there’s one other in-your-face position the gun groups still aren’t ready (are too craven) to exploit, undeniably spelled out in his acceptance speech, acknowledging the supporters giving power to his subversion:

I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties… And we will build a City Hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism. Where the more than 1 million Muslims know that they belong – not just in the five boroughs of this city, but in the halls of power…New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

Using the “single issue” excuse to deny the obvious needs to be seen for what it is and for what it enables.

What Other Rights Can States Ignore?

This is the last stop for Ballot Measure 114 on a state level. Given the makeup and history of the Oregon courts, it would be wise to not be too optimistic about the outcome. As usual, we hope we are wrong on this issue. And, keep in mind, that, irrespective of the outcome, the Oregon Legislature will continue to enact every possible impediment to gun ownership in Oregon even as it seeks to protect criminals and the violently mentally ill. [More]

If only we had a Justice Department committed to protecting unalienable rights from state and local abuses…

(Inter)National Treasure

“Because, I mean, I really believe that immigrants are our treasure and our strength, and they’re what make this country what it is,” Lakshmi added. [More]

Spoken like a UN “Goodwill Ambassador” born in India and let into this country who wants to make us less like America and more like the $#!+hole she left.

Oh, look, she wants the government to disarm us, too.

Shh… don’t tell the “single issue” gun groups!

Hawaii Sensitive Places Defense Fund… The fact the State of Hawaii hired these big shots is proof they are scared we can win. Please donate what you can. [More]

I trust readers here need no introduction to Alan Beck…?

Here’s just one way costs accumulate.

And this is what the state can afford to bolster rights denial because it has comparatively unlimited tax plunder to draw from.

A Perfect Understanding

The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has upheld a ban on possessing guns in parks, while completely misunderstanding basic principles of law. [Watch]

So their decision “contradicts SCOTUS”? And we’re sure it’s because they “misunderstand”?

I know what would happen if I went against a judge’s orders.

What will happen to them?

Last week, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, “Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer.” Using a mis-mash of half-baked statistics, legal misinformation, and cherry-picked anecdotes, it tried to make a case that there is just too much darned self-defense going on in America.

Shutting Down Freedom

[T]he Firearm Access During Shutdowns Act was introduced by U.S. Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho), as S. 3085, and by U.S. Rep. Ben Cline (R-Va.), as H.R. 5874. The Act would guarantee law-abiding Americans can continue to exercise their Second Amendment rights during a government shutdown, requiring federal agencies to continue processing firearm applications and licenses during a government shutdown.

Prognosis:

1% chance of being enacted

Report brought to you by the “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” people…

We don’t need any bills to ensure continued recognition of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights because the presumption is there is nothing government is authorized to do in terms of prior restraint infringements.

Why is this one different, and why do “we” unquestioningly tolerate it?

Brain Teaser

Blast waves may be damaging shooters’ brains. The Times has a new investigation on how it happens. [More]

And any who believe this is anything more than another attack by the newsraper of record against guns needs to have their heads examined.

But watch the narrative get parroted and spread.

Their turn in the barrel, eh? That’s the problem with feeding a circling pack of jackals instead of repelling it. All it does is encourage them to move in closer.

And as for AR-15s being next, that’s a big reason reason I felt compelled to get involved in the bump stock fight:

Who thinks the gun-grabbers won’t use that to further their goal of banning all such guns?

As I told more than one surrender monkey moron:

If anyone believes this is just about “bump stocks” they haven’t been paying attention…

And if anyone tells you it was all about strategic 3D chess, feel free to question their priorities and incentives.

Never forget the goal, laid out for us not by our words but by theirs.

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

Earlier this year, the plaintiff’s wife had been involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility, based on a language-related misunderstanding, resulting in her discharge with a diagnosis of “Adjustment disorder with depressed mood, seven weeks pregnant.” In April of 2025, acting on the information about his wife, the Fort Lee Police Department confiscated Mr. Aliaj’s firearms, ammunition, and related accessories from his home, without presenting any warrant or court order. [More]

Naturally, “the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office was taking the position that his weapons were confiscated under New Jersey’s ‘Duty to Inform’ law,” because Mark Musella is a New Jersey “Republican.”

“Law and order” über alles, right? Especially where “the supreme Law of the Land” is ignored as a matter of course.
