The People’s Choice

Mamdani is polling at 44%, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who’s running as an independent, is at 25%. Republican Curtis Sliwa is at 12%, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is at 7%. [More]

Still no “gun safety group” endorsements…?

Hey, if NYC goes full commie and Islamic terrorist attack it again, do the rest of us have to support a military response?

GOA Launches “Fuerza 2A” to Champion Hispanic Voices for the Second Amendment at GOALS 2025 [More]

Careful, fellas.

Yeah, I know Luis. He’s a good man, a good patriot. So is Miguel. So is Jose. So are many others. That’s not the argument.

No question smart outreach can work in our favor, but the goal ought to be true inclusiveness into the uniquely American culture of freedom. And we can’t lose sight through the virtue signaling that we’re still talking about an extreme minority (in the numeric sense) of extreme minorities (in the real world sense).

I’ve been through this debate before, including about foreign language outreach. I’m an “Any chair in a bar fight” type of guy and don’t believe in limiting options, but I do offer this caution:

Sure…go for a foreign language outreach program if you like. Good idea. Let us know when that happens, but by the time you get it off the ground, assuming you ever do, there will be millions more new “citizens.” Plus, you’ve given absolutely no estimates on how many “converts” that will bring in, and if it will be more than a few drops against an overwhelmingly anti-gun tidal wave.

One thing’s for sure– they won’t give you a fair shake on Univision or any other DSM outlet, and don’t expect suppressive Google algorithms and social media “community standards” to give you a break.

If you fight fire with droplets, you’re going to be consumed.

And time was, GOA made a different promise.

Court Rules Cops Can’t Stop-and-Frisk You For Carrying A Gun [Watch]

I’ve been asked if this means no more Terry stops and pat-downs, but I don’t think so, because those require a “reasonable suspicion” that a suspect has committed a crime, and already forbids just make something up, although this ruling could conceivably make some “Only Ones” more hesitant to do that.

Perhaps someone who actually knows what he’s talking about on this can weigh in and educate me.

More questions: Why did the “pro-Second Amendment” Justice Department prosecute and will it appeal?

Arrivederci, Imbecille

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel confirmed he obtained his Italian citizenship during a discussion on people fleeing the country to escape President Donald Trump. Kimmel shared the news while a guest on fellow comedian Sarah Silverman’s podcast Friday, as they discussed the state of the country in Trump’s second term. [More]

Velocemente! Presto! Although why he just doesn’t sneak in like the people he’s virtue signaling for is left unanswered.

I’ve made no secret how I feel about “dual citizenship.”

Ghost of a Chance

The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that it is legal to possess unserialized firearms so long as they are not required to be serialized by federal law. This is a welcome and uncharacteristic reverence for the Second Amendment, considering the justices are all Democratic appointees. [More]

Not the reason I’d have given, but it’ll work — for now.

East Harlem a Microcosm of What Total Democrat Control of Country Will Look Like

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, and junkies having sex in the streets is “public safety. With Democrats, every day is Opposite Day. [More]

It’s instructive to note who the Democrats want to keep on the streets and who they want to forcibly remove from society.

Related UPDATE

A comment needs responding to. But I’m posting my reply here because one thing I insist on is keeping article comments on topic to what’s being invited for discussion, in this case, the inevitable utter failure of areas under total Democrat control and the dangers of expansion. To respond to points raised over at AmmoLand would hijack and derail that discussion and take focus off the reason I wrote the article and what I felt important to call attention to.

I gotta say, I can’t help but feel there’s a sentiment I’m picking up from that comment that I’m not doing enough. Or that I owe more. Don’t go there. Or do, and let’s compare records.

To start off with we can’t “all” agree the problem is mostly with Democrats even though it’s true. Half the country votes for them and will continue to do so regardless of what lies, crimes, perversions and outright treasonous subversions are exposed. But I didn’t write this to unquestioningly praise Republicans, which seems to be the comment poster’s takeaway. If that’s the case, I challenge him to find one 2A writer who has called out errant Republicans – including Donald Trump– more often and consistently than I have. Recent case in point: Who else is pointing out the Fort Stewart shooting exposes his past unkept promise on private arms at military bases?

The purpose of this piece was not to offer a grand manifesto for restoring the Republic and living happily ever after, just to expose another danger by using a story I haven’t seen on any other “gun sites” to illustrate a larger point. If we’re going to go beyond that, my response does not belong under an article on East Harlem degenerates and the politicians who enable them, and whose agenda will spread the misery wherever they gain power.

But yeah, I’ve been involved in plenty of constructive advocacy/activism efforts over the years. And ultimately, my “advice,” which seems what’s being asked for, centers on never expecting anything from a reader – or a politician or other “leader”– I don’t expect and hold myself to: Try to stay informed, look into things that could present problems or opportunities, speak out when needed, join with/assist those I find worthy when I can, stay armed, trained, and prepared, defy and disobey bad laws, and strive to live the principles I espouse.  That by itself is not enough, which means my goal is to encourage others to do the same. And if enough of us, say Three Percent or so, are united in this ideology, the tyrants will have to think more than twice before overreaching. Face it—the Second Amendment is still, for the most part, working. Otherwise, there’d be nothing to stop mass confiscation, which you’ll notice “they” haven’t dared try (Addendum: After Katrina).

The Undiscovered Country, Eh?

The country gave its citizens the right to die. Doctors are struggling to keep up with demand. [More]

There’s that typical collectivist understanding of rights again, so unsurprising, expected, actually, to see being promulgated by The Atlantic.

We could start with asking how much the government making life unbearable has to do with the numbers, and then segue over to why one of the trump cards our domestic prohibitionists pull to ban guns is “suicide,” which they’re evidently all for if it’s the “assisted” kind.

I’d also be curious to know if there are dominant political and theological ideologies common among those seeking early checkout.

My Kind of Politician

Exactly. And it’s coming from a man who knows communism.

He’d have my vote if I lived in his district.

Leave it to lying Democrats to say fidelity to the Constitution and oath of office are disqualifiers.
