The Dorr Brothers Respond to Guns and Gadgets [Watch]

I realize some gun groups and their supporters accuse them of being self-enrichment scammers who divert money from other efforts. I’ve seen them push some good stuff over the years, so I’m inclined to hear them out.

From what I’ve been seeing — and hearing behind the scenes — the legacy gun groups could have fought a lot harder. Anyway I’m posting American Firearms Association’s video link so you can bring your own perspective into your own analysis, and share it with the rest of us if you like.

Anyway, full disclosure– I haven’t watched the whole thing and doubt I’ll find 2:39:08 to do it.

Good First Steps

Trump’s Justice Department urged the Supreme Court to strike down state laws prohibiting handguns from being brought onto someone else’s property without that person’s consent. The department also declined to ask the Supreme Court to reverse a lower court’s ruling that federal age limits on handgun purchases are unconstitutional. [More]

OK, but not exactly the HUGE NEWS some are touting.

Hey, I watched a TV show the other night where a hot female “Only One” took on multiple linebacker types and put ’em all down. What’s the issue?

Besides, define “woman.”

We’re the Only Ones Sponsoring Enough

The false police reports would indicate that the immigrant was a victim of a crime that would qualify them to apply for a so-called U visa, U.S. Attorney Alexander C. Van Hook said Wednesday at a news conference in Lafayette. He said the police officials were paid $5,000 for each name they provided falsified reports for, and that there were hundreds of names over the years. [More]

Great. I’m a big believer in 2A and capitalism (just not the connected crony public/private partnership/fascist kind). That said, you’ll forgive me for wondering if it’s all about Phase 3 for the guy.

Found this 14 year trip on the way-back machine in a box of junk that I was getting ready to toss. The anti-gun rights groups were predicting dire consequences if concealed carry licensees who were armed but not drinking were to be able to enter businesses that served alcohol. Just like their cries that there would be “blood in the streets” when concealed carry went through seven years earlier, their hand wringing over “guns in bars” has proven to be nothing but hysterical theatrics.
