Good Questions

Why does the University of Minnesota Law School have a gun control clinic training the next generation of anti-2A lawyers by having them act as special assistant attorneys general under Keith Ellison? [More]

Followed by:

And why are we, as taxpayers, forced to fund the anti-civil rights gun clinic at the U of M Law School. Either we should defund it entirely, it should go private, or shut it down. We should not be forced to fund our own destruction, via our tax dollars to the U. [More]

Who’s going to stop them?

Keith Ellison, eh?

The thought of the well going dry and ivory tower leftists living under bridges does have a certain appeal to it.

School president cites study finding guns don’t increase crime to oppose campus carry [More]

Not that that’s the issue…

What wiser policy could there be than letting some goofball broad, who would be utterly useless in a situation requiring armed defense, to dictate how people who wouldn’t be should be allowed to respond?

The Rebellion Spreads

What did I say about if more took a stand?

Some are.

And why am I thinking “Alice’s Restaurant“?

You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick, and they won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it—in harmony—they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of ’em. And three people do it—three, can you imagine?—three people walking in, singing a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out?—they may think it’s an organization. And can you—can you imagine fifty people a day—I said fifty people a day!—walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. And friends, they may think it’s a movement!

Crunching the Numbers

Defensive Gun Use Statistics: Self-Defense Cases (2026) [More]

Using surveys, it’s impossible to come up with an accurate number, which explains the disparity of 2.5 million to 65,000 DGUs, which is still a lot more than the number of homicides.

The important statistic to remember is that 100% of gun prohibitionists would rather the defenders had been killed than armed.

‘Good’ Gun Control?

Today we discuss SB 2710, which goes into effect July 1 of this year. This law will add significant penalties for underage individuals who are possessing and using firearms to commit crimes. The bill will so target those that are unlawfully supplying firearms to underage individuals. Could this law be the blueprint for other states that are actually trying to stem their violence problem rather than just disarm their citizens? [Watch]

Here’s the bill.

I have no problem with crimes of violence being escalated to adult consequences, and with that crime being what is prosecuted.

Possession and “sensitive area” charges raise some concerns for me. What do text, history, and tradition have to say about young people and those?

Asking for Posterity…

And concerned that all the comment posters are giving full-throated approval without asking about downsides…

You Like Her! Right Now! You Like Her!

Hollywood icon Sally Field reminds a fractured nation of the brilliance of the Constitution [More]

That must be why this “brilliant” dimbulb “is an outspoken advocate for gun control and social justice issues. She joined the Everytown Creative Council to support their mission of reducing gun violence in America. The actress emphasizes the importance of grassroots organizing to effect political change. Field encourages women specifically to lead the charge in demanding safer communities. She continues to use her public appearances to call for sensible gun legislation.”

Not that those “conservatives” praising her in comments have a clue, which says something about messages not escaping the echo chamber…

The Company She Keeps

Native-born Councilwoman Mai Vang, whose Hmong family escaped communist genocide, poor living conditions, and slaughter in Laos thanks to AMERICA’s lifesaving refuge, turns her back on the U.S. flag and rejects the Pledge of Alligence…even on Veterans Day! [More]

Why so surprised?

Maybe she just needs another generation

There is Just One Place that Can Light (Up) My Face

A legal battle that began before the iPhone was invented ended Thursday as the Indiana Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from the city of Gary over a ruling that killed a lawsuit against 11 gun manufacturers. [More]

That’s the town that knew me when

The place sure has gone downhill.

What he hell does “found to be lacking the essential character or temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm” mean?

Jersey Devil

The Office of New Jersey Attorney General Davenport has sent subpoenas to New Jersey federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) demanding detailed records pertaining to sales of Glock firearms from January 2016 until June 15, 2026, News2A recently learned. The action, which is related to the December 2024 lawsuit brought against Glock called Davenport v. Glock (formerly Platkin v. Glock), could create a public record doxing New Jersey gun owners who have purchased Glock pistols, along with personally identifiable information… “This is a logistical nightmare. It could take some people years to comply with this,” one New Jersey FFL owner told News2A. [More]

So, have any prominent FFLs pledged to refuse to comply and not give up names?

Would you submit to this?

House of Cards

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 1. The Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Act (“FOID Card Act”), 430 ILCS 65/0.01 et seq., entirely deprives everyone of the right to keep and bear arms— including the basic right to possess a firearm for self-defense in the home—unless and until they seek and receive the State’s permission. 2. To possess any type of firearm or ammunition in Illinois—anywhere, for any length of time—one must first obtain a Firearm Owners Identification (“FOID”) card from the Illinois State Police. This requires one to initiate and prevail in an administrative proceeding—in which the burden of proof is on the individual at every step, and which may take 30 days, 90 days, or even longer. Any violation of this requirement is a crime. [More]

Just like the Framers intended when they penned “shall not be infringed,” no doubt.

Gimme Five!

The question is this. Since September of 2025, how many federal government lawsuits from Trump’s Department of Justice have been filed in support of the Second Amendment against gun control jurisdictions across the country? Five times. [Watch]

I’m in a mood today. I see stuff like this and my first thought is it’s a way to turn the heat down for a bit to keep the frog from jumping.
