Sisters in Arms or Fuddettes?

Armed Women of America Partners with NSSF’s First Shots Program [More]

It appears both are deliberately apolitical, so applaud getting women interested and finding they have a stake in gun laws, but don’t mistake being a gun owner with being an ally. Because this partnership is about guns, and it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.

Yes, you need to get them to dip their toes in the pool, then wade, then learn to navigate deeper waters. But someone needs to tell them at some point voting for gun prohibitionists is unacceptable and reject those who do.

Sober Reasoning

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has vacated a three-year prison sentence for a man convicted of possessing a firearm while using marijuana, determining that the government’s ban on gun ownership for drug users cannot be applied indiscriminately. [More]

What you do with the gun is all that should matter.

And when are gun owners going to learn to stop talking to police?

Giffords Propagandist Plays Word Games to Agitate for Magazine Ban

Not all of us have the high capacity for swallowing disinformation and utter hogwash we find in the average Giffords supporter. [More]

Them accusing us of Orwellian Newspeak shows all they’ve got is gaslighting.

Breaking the Code

To prohibit payment card networks and covered entities from requiring the use of or assigning merchant category codes that distinguish a firearms retailer from general-merchandise retailer or sporting-goods retailer, and for other purposes. [More]

Time to Call in the Big Guns

Although the sponsors have attempted to sell this legislation as a bill that would “close a loophole in Colorado’s magazine capacity limit laws“, it took all of 90 seconds for gun owners and activists to realize this had nothing to do with magazines at all, but was instead a sweeping gun ban cloaked in lies, and once the complex and technical language was broken down, it became apparent how severe it was: worse than anything we have ever seen before. [More]

And when they get that, they’ll go after something else, because of course they’re talking about taking your guns.

C’mon, Pam, be a hero.

Redefining the Terms

A quick read of the bill, SB 947, will show it to be a clumsy and poorly crafted effort to reinvent the meaning of the word “militia” with the single purpose of telling the people of Oregon that they are not part of what we all know they are part of and to further remind us that all power is vested in the military as controlled by Tina Kotek and the people are merely subjects. [More]

This would be a good one to throw at Pam Bondi to see if she’ll fight states redefining what the Constitution says.

Should Be Easy Enough to Determine

“They sell weapons to drug cartels… the fact is that the Ukrainian military sells a huge percentage, up to half of the weapons we send them. And this is not my guess. This is a fact. Not speculation. They sell it, and a lot of it ends up with drug cartels on our border. So this is a crime,” Carlson said, quoted by RIA Novosti. [More]

If true, it should be provable from “crime scene” serial numbers, like in Fast and Furious . If not, a correction and apology are in order.

So… is anybody else looking into it?

If It Were About Poll Taxes There Wouldn’t Be a Question

Today, Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) reintroduced the No User Fees for Gun Owners Act. This legislation would prohibit any state or local government from requiring insurance, taxes, user fees, or similar burdensome charges as a condition for the continued ownership of firearms, pistols, or revolvers. [More]

No prognosis yet.

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

And not to p!$$ off any Fudds, but what the hell is Pittman-Robertson, anyway? Or is that a “good” infringement, and not to be questioned by mere Second Amendment absolutists?

Attention NC Gun Owners

Pass Constitutional Carry Now in North Carolina [More]

You’re not gonna let some Yankee from Ohio care more about it than you do, are you?

Funny thing about Google, and I don’t mean “ha ha” funny: Search for “Grassroots North Carolina” and good luck finding the gun group’s website. I noticed a similar phenomenon the other day when I put in the title of a recent AmmoLand article.

By suppressing our work, they suppress our political action.

Their sucking up to Trump has to do more than just stoke the guy’s ego. A “Second Amendment President” would be calling them out on algorithms that discriminate against one of his core constituencies.

But back to the resason for this post: Sign GRNC’s petition.

Back and Forth

“This is an important ruling in a case that has been up and down the Illinois judicial ladder a couple of times already,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “We expect the state to appeal again, which could put the case right back before the Illinois Supreme Court for the third time, and we are confident we will win. It’s hard to see how the Illinois Supreme Court avoids the constitutional issue, as they have done on the previous two visits.” [More]

They’ll pull something out of their … robes.
