So, if the FBI and DOJ don’t have authority to do ammunition checks, where do they get authority to allow New York State to use NICS for that purpose? [More]
Made possible by GOP Quislings, so will Republicans do anything to clean up their mess after they assume power in January?
Person of interest in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson caught with manifesto, gun and fake ID at McDonald’s [More]
I’d say that rules out the “professional hit man” speculation, unless you add the qualifier “dumb @$$ professional hit man.”
Shall we guess political sympathies? I guess what’s in the manifesto will determine how soon they let us know what it says.
Why would Yoran go easy on a black felony murderer while throwing the book at a defendant she refers to as “the white man”? To ask the question is to answer it. Hopefully, she will soon face justice herself. [More]

On deporting families with mixed immigration status (such as the parents being in the U.S. illegally, while their kids are citizens): “I don’t want to be breaking up families, so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.” [More]
And since there’s no legal way to deport a citizen, that means scratch this one off the list.
Wants Dreamers to be able to stay…
Because nothing says American self-interest like officially normalizing leftist foreign nationals.
As for “criminals out first,” last I checked a different branch of government will be adjudicating on due process and appeals…
Me, I’m just wondering when the band uniforms arrive.
Good thing none of this has anything to do with that “single issue”… right, Chuck?

Canada on Thursday announced a ban on 324 assault-style firearms in a continued effort for more stringent gun control. Leaders in Canada also said that they are working with the government of Ukraine to see how the guns can be donated to support the fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. [More]
What do we expect from subjects of the Crown?
It’s not like it will do any good anyway. Ukraine started out showing such promise and then decided it didn’t trust it’s people, either.

A Bronx bodega worker who allegedly shot an armed robber with a gun he “found” in the store’s bathroom is facing criminal charges — but advocates are calling him a hero. [More]

Trump’s pick for Surgeon General caused tragic gun accident as child that left dad shot dead: report [More]
She served up the Covid KoolAid, so it’s fair to wonder how she’ll use her considerable influence to weigh in on lock-up-your-safety edicts…
And will she join her medical colleagues in prescribing hearing protection?
Social media users were quick to point out the error. [More]
After the fact, when she couldn’t be directly confronted on camera in real time, where the “real reporters” were once more proving how replaceable by AI they are…
X prides itself on being the bastion of free speech—a sanctuary for open discourse in a landscape increasingly dominated by cancel culture. Yet, its own advertising policy remains shackled by hypocrisy: gun ads are outright banned. [More]
Elon Musk still has a ways to go…
Case in point: It’s easy not to like Sen. Fetterman when you realize he wants enforcers to use up to lethal force on us to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms.
