New Mexico Gun ‘Buyback’ an Exercise in Contradictions

But “Come on down, and you’re on your own” is what the Farmington Police Department, New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, and the “real reporters” at The Journal consider “gun safety,” and that’s what they’re urging everyone to take part in? And if someone gets hurt or worse due to this deliberately indifferent incentivized ignorance, have they run the chief’s admission by their respective legal departments to consider against the familiar civil complaint words “knew or should have known”? [More]

I wonder if the city attorney is willing to expose Farmington to the unsafe gun handling liability the chief just confessed to the media, along with all the other questionable legal practices ? Why not ask?

Record Gun Sales Not Necessarily a Mandate for Political Change

So, “we’re” winning? If you listen to some “gun pundits,” this shows the tide is turning and gives gun owners cause to celebrate. The enthusiasm would be more credible if there were some believable numbers showing new gun ownership will translate into votes against Democrats, the party of citizen disarmament, in enough numbers to eject the gun-grabbers from power and replace them with Second Amendment stalwarts. [More]

Harvey Keitel’s NSFW “Well, let’s not start ******* **** *****’* ***** quite yet” line from Pulp Fiction comes to mind.

Appeals Court Rules California Can Continue Doxing Gun Owners to Agenda ‘Researchers’

That “misuse” can be deliberate by activists gone wild or due to lax/incompetent security protocols. And it’s not like sensitive and supposedly secure government systems at the highest levels can’t be breached and hacked by anyone, from cyber criminals to foreign enemies. It’s not like names, addresses, and lists don’t have real-world street value, and it would be just like the prohibitionists to have their efforts actually increase violence and its incentives. [More]

Why do you need privacy if you’re not doing anything wrong?

Judicial System Reeks with Democrat Political Bias Against Guns and More

They’re not only conflicted but hiding it. You don’t get more in-your-face corrupt than that. But don’t look for the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board to care. [More]

What good is having your day in court when the judge is in bed with the offending politicians?

Musk Lawsuit Against Media Matters Also Serves Gun Owner Interests

Of course, he’s not an antisemite. Musk had in mind groups like the Antidefamation League (ADL), which have done exactly that in terms of pushing dialectical hatred. [More]

The real antisemites and racists are the antihuman Cultural Marxists who demand disarming all of us.

I gotta get a new picture– I haven’t worn glasses since I got my eyes done, what, four or five years ago now…?

Hunter Biden’s Lawyers are Playing to Supportive Media with ‘Vindictive Prosecution’ Insinuations

“Lawyers for Hunter Biden raised the prospect that he is the victim of ‘vindictive’ prosecution… [More]

And leave it to the “real reporters” to make that what the public takes away from all this.

International Tribunal Lawsuit an Unconstitutional Attempt to Subvert Second Amendment

The same goes for the OAS and its Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, both of which have no authority, legal, moral, or otherwise, to impose their diktats and override “the supreme Law of the Land.” [More]

Our sympathy does not give sufferers leave to lay claim to our rights. And defund the OAS.

Not Content to Eviscerate the Second Amendment, Gun-Grabbers Go After the First

What’s clear from both the Illinois and the California cases, is prohibitionist Democrats, thwarted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, will leave no right unabridged in their totalitarian obsession with controlling everything. [More]

If freedom prohibitionists can take the guns, what’s to stop them from taking everything else?

Secret Service Response to Biden Granddaughter Car Break-In Violates MPDC Use of Force Instructions

What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]

Or as Capt. Bryant said in Blade Runner, “You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”

Massie Vehicle Kill Switch Amendment Foreshadows Greater Danger to Guns

…this technology could be used by the police as “an `electronic master key’ to `disable’ any `smart guns’ in the house,” and be used as a pretext to “ban the manufacture of any gun that ISN’T a `smart gun’.” [More]

Who would be against giving police the power to protect us from armed extremists?

Where Do Republican Presidential Candidates Stand on the Second Amendment?

For now, let’s take a look at the likely contenders and see what they’ve said about the right to keep and bear arms, and more importantly, what they’ve done… [More]

Just in time for tonight’s debate where we’ll see if the subject even comes up…

Ruthless J6 Prosecutions Confirm the Ones Afraid of Oath Keepers are Oath Breakers

One way to keep a balking population in line is through the time-tested method of tyrants – cowing it into submission by making a highly publicized example of prominent members, which the J6 “uprising” at the Capitol more than provided. And no one was more high-profile in Oath Keepers than founder Stewart Rhodes, sentenced to 18 years in prison for “seditious conspiracy” and “obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings.” [More]

Part Three wraps up my series on why those in power are bent on utterly destroying the one concept that could render them powerless: Enforcers learning they have the power and the duty to say “No.”

Oath Keepers Have Never Been What Government and Media Have Accused Them Of

But there are others in power who know perfectly well what the implications of “10 orders we will not obey” are, and that’s something they cannot allow to be considered. That it could spread scares the hell out of them, no doubt because there are some orders in Oath Keepers’ list they retain the power to issue when it suits their purposes. So, any thought of disobeying them must be destroyed – along with anyone daring to spread the idea that the oath is to the Constitution, not to a regime and its unlawful orders. [More]

Part Two of a three-part series notes that anti-regime is very different from anti-government…
