Toys for Totalitarians 2.0

Vanderboegh smiles.

Mine’s a treasured possession.

I hope the recipients value theirs and support their benefactors.

I wonder if Democrats are running this through facial recognition and plotting their revenge.

House Upon the Sand

Website Registered Last Year a Sign the NRA Foundation Planned on a Split? [More]

Forget lack of transparency– they’re being deliberately obfuscatory, which means any NRA member supporting their efforts is asking for more of what allowed the whole mess in the first place.

Here’s the 2022 990. And I looked them up in DC Corporations and what’s there doesn’t tell us much.

Anybody got a copy of the Foundation bylaws?

Would You Pass Me the Oar?

A Republican won a deep-blue Northern Virginia county-level seat in a major upset Tuesday after revelations that her Democratic opponent made racist social media posts more than 10 years ago. [More]

I love his excuse that “back in those days,” you know, the deep dark 2015’s, it somehow wasn’t verboten.

I remember 20 years before that “society” discrediting Mark Fuhrman for the same offense. And at least every place I’ve ever lived, and I’ve been sentient since the 50’s, outside of literature reflecting an earlier period, it’s a word I never heard my parents use even once in conversation, nor anyone within our circles of friendship and acquaintance.

Pariah Carrys

Tell me about the worst gun you’ve ever bought. I’m bored sitting in this dialysis chair [More]

As is no secret around here, I’m not a hardware guy (more of a bad pun guy) and have very few posts on guns per se as there are plenty with more qualified insights. I do wonder how many of the firearms being singled out would not have been included had they been used in a successful DGU.

I Can Still Hear You Saying You Would Never Break the Chain

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is leading a new bill that would shift the American immigration system from a family-based focus, largely ending chain migration and prioritizing immigrants who serve the “national interest” of the U.S. [More]

After all, per the Preamble, the whole point of consenting to government is because it is directed “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,” not themselves and their posterity. But I don’t suppose one of the qualifiers will be support for the whole Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment…?

No matter: My bet is it’ll have the same 3% prognosis as his bill requiring financial institutions to verify the lawful immigration status of applicants, and if it ever did pass it’d be subjected to years of legal setbacks.

Funny, how according to some, my first three posts today have nothing to do with that “single issue.”

Silent Running

Attorneys for George Peterson have filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court in Peterson v. United States, a Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC)-backed challenge to the federal government’s unconstitutional National Firearms Act (NFA) tax and registration requirements for suppressors. [More]

Now all SCOTUS has to do to let bad law stand is…nothing.

We’re the Only Ones Big Enough

Gov. Mark Gordon on Tuesday vetoed a bill geared toward penalizing Wyoming police agencies that help with federal gun enforcement initiatives or hire former federal agents involved in such operations. President Donald Trump’s administration supports this veto, Gordon wrote in a Tuesday statement. [More]

You know, of “Our beautiful Second Amendment” fame…?

Capt. Bryant said it best:

Time to Put Up

It is definitely time for ATF new leadership to take responsibility for Adamiak’s false arrest, fictitious prosecution and undeserved incarceration. [More]

After all, Cekada IS “the first ever truly pro-Second Amendment nominee to head the agency.” Our “gun rights leaders have told us so!

Stopping the Signal

California Bill Would Force 3D Printers to Block Gun Files With State-Approved Detection Technology [More]

And I can see the bastards pulling a DeStefano on an out-of-state supplier who won’t comply. (Looks like they gave up on trying to raise funds because no one wanted to help plant the seed, water the crop, harvest the grain, mill the flour, and bake the bread.)

I’m wondering if the “unfunded mandate” used in Printz to invalidate Brady Law requirements might be applicable in fighting this, or is that just an escape clause for public entities against the feds?

The Cognitive Dissonance… It Burns

Texas Gun Club Files Federal Lawsuit Challenging 1986 Machine Gun Ban [More]

Wait… they’re suing “this Department of Justice [will] use its full might to protect the Second Amendment” Pam Bondi, appointed by “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president” Donald Trump…?

Hey, they’re just following orders. If you don’t like the law, vote to change it. That’s what they told Rosa Parks, isn’t it?

Right, Blue State gun owners?

Adventures in Baselessness

The top Justice Department prosecutor for civil liberties and voting rights tells Just the News that her ongoing review of state voter rolls has proven tens of thousands of noncitizens made it into a position to cast ballots and that hundreds of thousands of dead or departed residents were not properly removed from state election systems. [More]

What could possibly motivate “state election offices and federal judges [to block] her office from her historic effort to obtain and review every state’s voter roll ahead of the 2026 midterm elections”…?

Especially if suspicions about voter fraud are “baseless” conspiracy theories promoted by white supremacist Nazi fascists intent on disenfranchising minority voters by requiring proof of citizenship/ID…?
