Where There’s a Will…

An illegal alien from China pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for illegally exporting firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea by concealing them inside shipping containers that departed from the Port of Long Beach, California, and for committing this crime at the direction of North Korean government officials, who wired him approximately $2 million for his efforts… In May 2023, Wen purchased a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts. Wen purchased many of the firearms he sent to North Korea in Texas and drove the firearms from Texas to California, where he arranged for them to be shipped. [More]

How did he pass NICS? How did he get an FFL? What was the name of his business? And where were all Joe Biden’s “zero tolerance” IOIs?

Funny, how “news” accounts by “real reporters” don’t seem to be curious.

How much more attention did he need to call to himself? Is it wrong to wonder if anyone’s palms were getting greased? Including not just his ATF overseers, but agents at docks approving shipments to hostile nations…?

What a Democrat dilemma that this illegal alien criminal will face deportation once he’s served his sentence. I can see heads exploding trying to figure which side to take.

UPDATE

Looks from the criminal complaint that he used “straw purchasers.”

I’m still not clear on what this “firearms business in Houston” is about, but then with all the stuff I gotta do today, I’ve only had time to scan the complaint, not go through it line-by-line.

Media Jumping on New Pediatric Study to Stump for More Gun Control

Talking points have been passed out and it’s now their “job” to parrot the narrative… [More]

Relying on junk “science” from gunquacks and junk “journalism” from fourth estate fifth columnists is no way to run a Republic.

We Want Them Both

GOA Rallies Media Allies and Influencers to Demand Senate Action on Suppressor and SBR Reform [More]

With the focus by so many on suppressors, I’m glad to see a group getting vocal to rally the troops about not letting short barrel firearms go gentle into that good night.

Ain’t No Backing Down Now

Trump’s Test: Crush the Uprising in California or Let Mass Deportations Slip Through His Fingers [More]

I’m trying to remember all the fires started and foreign flags flown by J6 protesters the Dems called seditious conspirators…

I’m also wondering how soon the low-hanging fruit will do something stupid — and whose “side” they will represent.

An Unconventional Approach

Microsoft pulls major tech conference from Seattle over crime, drug use, homelessness – “The customers cited the general uncleanliness of the street scene, visibility of individuals engaging in drug use, and unhoused individuals, including the recurring tent in the Arch Tunnel.” [More]

Well, Bellevue’s close– maybe SAF could hold the GRPC there…?

Let’s Not Go Celebrating a Red Wave Just Yet

Gingrich warns ‘very profound cultural civil war’ underway, says Democrats doubling down on ‘weird values’ – Former speaker says Americans increasingly siding with Trump on cultural issues [More]

One can only hope he’s got reliable data to back that up and that this isn’t just Stupid Party happy talk. Because my experience with Democrats tells me Edwin Edwards gave his constituents way too much credit, and today he could get away with strangling the girl and boy on live TV and not lose a vote if his opponent were Trump.

Hush, Hush

Ohio House Bill 331 and Ohio Senate Bill 214 propose revisions to the Ohio Revised Code, eliminating suppressors and mufflers from the definition of dangerous ordnance and removing language that mandates suppressor registration under the NFA. [More]

I guess it doesn’t hurt to build redundancy into a system.

I’m just the type who thinks “shall not be infringed’ oughta cover everything, in Everytown…

At Least Their Consistency is Inconsistent

We hold that § 5-133(b)(2) is, in substance, a law prohibiting the possession of firearms by felons and, as such, is consistent with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. [More]

Then they should have no problem coming up with an upheld parallel from the time of ratification. Either that or they’re just robed frauds.

And it doesn’t change a basic truth, does it?

Down in Mexico Where the Peppers Grow

Crack down on Mexican cartels after missing musicians found burned near Mexican border… Federal agencies gathered in South Texas to address the alarming issue of firearms from the United States ending up in the hands of Mexican cartels. [More]

Not sure what the connection is, but I can’t help notice Democrats who want OUR guns coming together to keep ICE from deporting Mexican criminals so that stuff like this can become a regular occurrence in a vecindario near you.

It will be interesting to see if competitor rice bowl groups put their historic hostility to NAGR to the side and support them in this.
