We’re the Only Ones Purged Enough

Five Colorado Law Enforcement officers are facing unpaid leave, demotions, forced counseling, lawsuits, and fines for alerting ICE about an illegal alien – Attorney General Phil Weiser is personally overseeing that they get punished. [More]

They’re just lucky their Number One priority wasn’t their oath too the Constitution.

A Very Particular Set of Skills

Why do they under “skills particularly desired” among other more rational things list, “minorities”? Do they fail to realize the irony of putting “minorities” under “skills”? [More]

What, no LGBTQXYZ…?

I understand the importance of expanding support from groups that have previously not been politically involved. The Carl Malone ad was good marketing.

I just hope in its desperation to raise funds because of disaffecting so many members that NRA doesn’t lose itself to that Gun Culture 2.0 diversity nonsense.

A trip down the rabbit hole expands on something we talked about yesterday.

Vichycon Alert

There has been no vote to override Josh Stein’s veto because there are not enough votes in the NC House of Representatives.  One reason for this is the four RINOs which stand in their way and the will of the majority of their constituents. [More]

I’d say some public pressure on @NCGOP is in order…

A Good First Step?

The NFA’s Regulation of Suppressors and Short-Barreled Rifles Violates the Second Amendment [More]

The sick joke is everybody knows that.

Once more I see arguments are long on “common use” and short on “militia,” but I guess we need a point of entry to get this into the interminable appeals cycle and hold it there long enough for Republicans to blow it and communist Democrats to regain power…

Perhaps the strategy is for B0ndi to take a dive…?

Promises to Keep

Army secretary hails ‘heroism’ of soldiers who tackled alleged Fort Stewart shooter: ‘Absolutely saved lives’- Six soldiers put themselves in harm’s way when Sergeant Quornelius Radford allegedly shot five people at Georgia base [More]

And President Trump says “the perpetrator of the shooting at the Fort Stewart military base in Georgia will be ;prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’’’

A question, if it’s not too impertinent:

What happened to noises Trump 1.0 was making seven years ago “to Allow Troops to Carry Personal Weapons on Bases”…?

I hope that merits a more intelligent and responsive MAGA rejoinder than “Would you rather have Kamala?”

We’re the Only Ones Nailing It Enough

Hudson Officer shoots man armed with a hammer [More]

A little hometown action a few miles down the road from me… wife just got back from grocery shopping and had to take an alternate route.

Having seen several “patrol” SUVs congregate behind traffic stops as a general practice, I’m wondering why the solo confrontation and what de-escalation/less than lethal options may have been applicable.

When all you have is a gun everything looks like a target.

Help Wanted – Inquire Within

AmmoLand is under pressure. The firearms industry has pulled back on advertising, and Big Tech—now powered by anti-gun AI—is quietly burying our pro-gun content in search results. These funding cuts threaten our ability to deliver the legal coverage, alerts, and fearless reporting you rely on. [More]

Just to share personal experience, I do a search for my work under Google’s News tab to see how it propagates and my AmmoLand stuff is routinely buried behind pages of returns, meaning it won’t be seen. I’ve also noted on several occasions links I post to Facebook to promote my articles result in “Forbidden” messages, meaning followers can’t access them:

On the trip I took recently, I noticed the wifi at Cleveland Airport wouldn’t allow me to load AmmoLand pages (I know, we shouldn’t make a practice of using public wifi but I wanted to do an experiment.) I’m going to test this further, because while it’s a private contractor deciding what gets through its filters, it’s a public facility and may represent a First Amendment violation by government using a proxy.

In the meantime, the appeal for help is real and wouldn’t be made unless necessary.

If you are an AmmoLand regular, that means you recognize that you get value from the site. If you’re a regular here, ditto.

A reason I find it a very useful outlet to write for is that — unlike the magazines — the ability to immediately post on AmmoLand means I can present original breaking stories and exclusives, including on FOIA requests and lawsuits I’m involved in, as well as unique observations on RKBA political and legal developments uncovered elsewhere.

I remember what I asked for when Mike Vanderboegh was undergoing his terrible ordeal and have adapted it for this situation:

I’m not going to ask you to send … a donation … Not a cent in gift money. What I will ask you to do –all of you who visit [the] site every day and receive value from it–is pay for that value. I’m asking you to voluntarily subscribe to [AmmoLand] and help [them] continue to bring YOU … daily reports and insights. Just so we’re clear: This is NOT CHARITY. This is PAYMENT FOR SERVICES BEING RENDERED.

And that goes double for the host of regulars who routinely take advantage of AmmoLand comments to amplify and make their voices heard .

We routinely complain about how the gun prohibitionists have no problem getting their talking point narratives parroted by the same major media that suppresses our arguments, and we see AstroTurf projects like the Michael Bloomberg-seeded propaganda mill paying good wages to propagandists masked as journalists. Here we have a valuable resource that’s struggling and asking for help, and if we lose it we’ll lose a unique voice that produces much content not provided on competitor sites.

I hope people reading this don’t find excuses not to do anything (or to air personal criticisms/grievances) — if you’re a returning reader/comment poster, you’ve already demonstrated you’re receiving value regardless.

A Right Denied

Could tracking denied gun sales help prevent tragedies? Experts think so [More]

And by “experts,” “real reporter” Alison Sherry means billionaire-bankrolled citizen disarmament fanatics like Tom Sullivan.

I may write more on this, because there’s plenty to unpack.
