Same Story, Different Plot?
21 students and teachers were murdered in Uvalde because Texas doesn’t have a red flag law or fund prevention of mass shootings. 21 children drowned at Camp Mystic (11 girls and one counselor still missing) because they didn’t get a flood warning. [More]
Recalling the truism, it’s a different story but the exact same blood dancing plot:
Self-righteous mother_ers who demand infringements instead of proven protective measures share culpability for every death.
And don’t forget the hate-filled race hustlers!
Speaking of being the same, the common threads are citizen disarmament and racism, foundational pillars of the Democrat Party.

World War III will start with simultaneous Xi and Putin invasions, warns NATO chief Mark Rutte [More]
So… is MSN scaremongering for Western globalist warmongers or are they on to something? And if so, who among us is willing to expend their own blood and treasure on foreign entanglements to save countries that have willingly devolved into self-destructive tyrannies that ban dissenting speech and private arms?
Forget “Would you send a gun?“
Would you send a son?
Signed, Sealed and Undelivered
Missouri appeals court keeps McCloskey criminal records sealed… Former Gov. Mike Parson pardoned the couple in August 2021. Mark McCloskey immediately sued to get the guns back. But courts ruled that although a pardon eliminates a conviction, it does not “extinguish his guilt or the consequences flowing from his guilty plea”… Tuesday’s ruling upheld that decision over the objection of prosecutors, who said the couple remained a threat to public safety.[More]
They forgot to put “Democrat” in front of “courts” and “prosecutors.”

Slow Going Ahead
Relatives are in town and I’ve got a ton of stuff to do that has nothing to do with this…
I may write one article and publicize it, but aside from that, unless something YUGE happens, I don’t anticipate resuming regular blogging until next week.
Please hold off on news tips and emails, minimize comments, and understand if there are extended response delays and stuff I just don’t get to.
I’ll be hosting 20 + people for Independence Day here, and I’ve got plenty of chores to do to prepare, plus family and friends to pursue happiness with.
May your life include similar constructive and enjoyable purposes. See ya when I’m back.

This Time It’ll Work
Rep. Andrew Clyde just introduced an amendment to the Senate-passed budget reconciliation bill to remove the NFA registration requirement for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs. Call your Rep and DEMAND they support the Clyde Amendment! No half measures! Gut the NFA! [More]

That and Elon’s been flaky on “2A.”shall not be infringed.”
Look, the guy’s a genius who has done stuff bordering on magic, and we owe him a lot. That doesn’t mean he can’t also be wrong, and at times, profoundly.
No new Ross Perots. All his supporters knew is they were mad as hell and against plenty, but they weren’t looking too closely at what he was for.
Democrats Gone Silent
Picture I took in Ukraine a few months ago. 50 dollar over the counter Suppressors. The upper end ones were about $425 at the time. [More]
Now note how many gun-grabbers here in the land of the Second Amendment who make up all kinds of lies to deny this to you have a “#Slava Ukraini” hashtag in their social media profiles.
They were all silent when the biggest case for an armed populace opened up before their eyes, too.

DOJ Declines to Appeal Ruling Against Federal Handgun Purchase Ban for Adults Under 21 [More]
Gotta do something to mollify gun owners disgusted with Republican failure to override Parliamentarian torpedoing of NFA removals…
There’s a method to their madness.
Fool Me Once…
Republicans, take heed. Not every gun owner voice out there is a “Next Best Win” apologist, and you need all of us if you’re not going to blow the midterms, which may be a done deal after this.
But won’t that mean the Democrats will gain the power to take our guns?
Does it?
Flesh out what that would look like and we can start looking at likely responses, flash points, and potentialities.

An Honest Politician
He argued that citizens’ ability to defend themselves may be compromised as well, pointing to a tweet from Mamdani saying, “We need to ban all guns.” [More]
See, none of this “commonsense gun safety law” crap, just a straight up admission of what he really wants to do…
And what he’s done here is taken the “I respect the Second Amendment BUT” lie away from every politician who has endorsed him, as well as the Democrat party as a whole. I don’t see any Moms Demand or Giffords posters yet, but I dare them to back him, because that will take the lie away from them, too.
Hey, if New Yorkers elect him and the Muslims carry out another mass casualty event, what will my obligation be to consider it an attack on America warranting a response I support? Actually, I’m not sure what it is now…
Who Died and Made Her Queen?
Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough had previously determined that the “Byrd Rule” applied in this case. Because a reconciliation bill — a type of budget bill — requires only a simple majority of 51 votes for passage, the Byrd Rule imposes restrictions on what provisions can be included. Measures deemed to be “extraneous” to the budget must secure a supermajority of 60 votes to pass. As a result, the proposal to remove undocumented immigrants from Medicaid failed by just four votes. [More]
I especially like that part of the Constitution where it says she can infringe on the right to keep and bear arms and then our “gun rights leaders” call it a “next best win.”

Tangentially Related UPDATE
There is also the argument that the remaining requirements for registration violate the Firearm Owners Protection Act… It includes a blanket prohibition on the creation of a federal registry of guns or gun owners. The NFA has survived this prohibition only because it is a tax. [More]

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

I’d like to see a bill putting constraints on disabling profiles, requiring a judge to determine which specific pieces of information must necessarily be withheld because they could jeopardize investigations.

The Not Ready for Prime Time Player
Law-abiding citizens should have the right to responsibly own firearms without excessive government interference. [More]
That sounds like some shallow appeal-to-those-who -don’t-think-it-through weasel wording right there.
What about when being “law-abiding” means surrendering that “fundamental aspect of our freedom and security”? And how is any government interference with that which shall not be infringed not excessive?
And yeah– so much for “America First.”
Thomas Massie has failed us. He voted against cutting taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. He even voted NO on protecting children from AI-generated child exploitation.
This is a crafted misrepresentation. That first part is in the debt increase package. In the second, he saw unintended consequences in unelected Melania’s pet legislative process and Speaker Johnson would not allow amendments.
It’s all part of the all too familiar politics of personal destruction, where, “yuge” ego seeks revenge on any who oppose, support is bestowed on supplicants who fawn, and attacks are ad hominem logical fallacies.
This is what Trump wants to replace Massie with, and cultists in the 4th District are falling for it? I’m not trusting that poll, because right now she only has 53 Truth followers and 176 on Facebook. One suggested she’d get more exposure on X, but I think her campaign is afraid of the rationing she’d get from Constitutionalists sick of all the BS.
