50 STATES on High Alert After Supreme Court’s 9–0 Ruling — Gun Laws Just Changed Forever!

I did not include a link because, while much of the information seems a valuable consolidation, I have a few concerns. It says it’s made with AI and refers to Wolford as if SCOTUS hasn’t already ruled.  And a channel by an unknown poster that has under 900 subscribers has gotten over 55,000 views in the 18 hours since its been posted.

That raises enough flags for me to not send you to a video that will occupy you for 30 minutes without pointing this out. If you still want to see it, copy and paste the above quote into your browser search bar.

Who’s Minding the Store?

While Mayor Romero postures for cameras, NSSF is working for Real Solutions. Safer Communities. That includes FixNICS, a campaign to ensure the background check system works as intended by submitting all disqualifying records. [More]

Time was, JPFO’s position was “‘Don’t Fix NICS Background Check System!’ Background system cannot be fixed–go to Plan B.”

Aaron Zelman considered gun rights proponents who supported it and other limitations to be examples of “individual rights hypocrisy.”

The official position was “NICS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. The same way you fix a dog.”

Now, here it is featuring NSSF essays that promote it.

What’s changed?

That’s a rhetorical question.

And a regrettable one.

DSA’s Citizen-Disarmament Agenda Exposes Its Tyrannical Endgame

It’s instructive as to the end goals of what the prohibitionists term “commonsense gun safety laws,” that is, a monopoly of violence held by those who would rule with an iron fist. It’s for exactly those reasons that the Second Amendment was enacted in the first place. [More]

The collectivist monsters who demand discarding the Constitution and disarming the rest of us hide songs they used to publish threatening to “kill [us] all with knives and guns” as a key objective of their “revolution.”

Well Said!

The gun is the most misunderstood object in Western civilization. Not a weapon. A technology. The technology that made the idea of equality physically real. [More]

Read the whole thing. And pass it along.

As I’ve been noting for years, the right to keep and bear arms is the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

What’s that about the Seattle Center’s Campus Rules…?

It is Prohibited to… Possess or display a firearm on the campus, unless permitted by applicable law.

Jeez, you’d think by now we’d know more about the suspects than just a “young person” with perhaps an unknown accomplice… I wonder if online tracks are being “managed” before we’re allowed to know anything.

Especially since Democrat Whip Katherine Clark evidently knows enough to declare more citizen disarmament to be the answer…

Yeah, it ain’t everything but it’s a good first step– one that “is going to help us hugely win the US Supreme Court cases involving the AR-15 bans.”

At least until the Democrats win.

OK, yeah, it’s WaPo, so there’s definitely some PSYOPS going on, but still: If we get our @$$es handed to us in November and also lose in ’28, look for all the advances in 2A to be reversed/overturned– and if Dems can then pack SCOTUS, that includes Heller, McDonald, Bruen, meaning instead of voting, which could not be easier, those still determined are gonna have to do it the hard way.
