Playing with Fire

California wildfires: Outrage as looters slammed for trying to ‘steal from residents’… The identities of the suspects and details of their alleged crimes have not yet been released. [More]

Why not? What’s the politically inconvenient motive behind authorities not sharing known information?

This is why I’m against not naming names.

I don’t suppose — this being L.A. — a homeowner could just shoot them…?

Tangentially-Related UPDATES:

And, of course, dinosaur DSM is blaming the fires on “climate change.”

It’s not like any alternative explanations suggest themselves…

And:

Hint: It’s Not ‘Climate Change.’

The Bottom Line

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has emerged as a late and leading contender to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, three Republicans familiar with the process say. [More]

I have a bad feeling about this:

Husted did not clarify the difference between what he supports and a red flag law. “The bottom line is Governor DeWine and I support second amendment rights,” said Husted. “We support freedom loving Americans who want to exercise those rights, but we also want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are not legally allowed to own them.”

We know that doesn’t work.

Aligning himself with DeWine is a big red flag in itself.

Paging Tommy Lee…

Montenegro Considers ‘Complete’ Gun Ban After 12 Shot Dead [More]

You know what? Montenegro? I don’t give a damn. Let ’em. Fools.

And you know going after the “illegal” ones means they’re mostly going to persecute nonviolent citizens who want to protect themselves in spite of all the bull$h!+ restrictions.

Speaking of Much Ado About Nothing

H.R. 129: To abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives… 2% chance of being enacted [More]

Told ya.

Just more self-serving noise that distracts from doing the doable.

And I note there’s no text yet, but here’s one reality you can take to the bank: The only thing that will change is the men behind the masks enforcing NFA, GCA, Hughes, Lautenberg, and all the other infringements.

Much Ado About Nothing

Cornyn and senators tell ATF director no new policies before Trump takes over [More]

They know any new rule will require a comment period extending into the new administration, which can kill it, but it’s a way to make gun owners think they’re doing something for them.

But enforce existing Intolerable Acts, right, Mr. Bipartisan Safer Communities Act?

And furthermore

Cassidy, Cornyn, Hagerty, Colleagues Introduce Concealed-Carry Reciprocity Bill [More]

Sigh…

The Cognitive Dissonance… It Burns

The national Liberal Gun Club said it has received thousands of training requests since the election, more than in all of 2023. A spokesperson for the group estimated that roughly a quarter were from LGBTQ people. In Philadelphia, in the waning weeks of the year, residents peppered local queer Facebook groups with questions about guns and training. The local chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association, a leftist analogue to the National Rifle Association, said it saw a surge in paid memberships; [More]

Constitutionalists won’t be the ones to put them in concentration camps. Those would be the violence monopolists stupid leftists vote for.

Military Gun Training in Polish Schools

Unlike in the land of the Second Amendment, where gun prohibitionists who demand avoidance and ignorance label themselves as “commonsense gun safety advocates,” the training is embraced by educators, politicians and parents.  [More]

Compare and contrast to ignorant and cowardly anti-gun “educators” here…

Three Thousand Tyrants

With ‘the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House’ to return, gun-safety groups eye state level actions [More]

Everybody remembers the Benjamin Martin quote, right?

Which is exactly why this needs to be a priority:

Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.

If it’s not, we’ll know our best friend conned us and our “gun rights leaders” never asked him for it.

The Silent Horror

Facebook and Instagram Ads Push Gun Silencers Disguised as Car Parts – A network of Facebook pages has been advertising “fuel filters” that are actually meant to be used as silencers, which are heavily regulated by US law. Even US military officials are concerned. [More]

Mehrotra, eh…?

I keep going back to the last paragraph.

And Wired being ultimately controlled by the same billionaire who profits from Teen Vogue’s anal sex tips for teens

Why do I have the feeling that if fuel filters were being used for something else it wouldn’t be a story?
