Last night’s program…

AAR Tonight

I’ll be on at 9 Eastern with a maduro in one hand and two fingers of the good stuff in the other. Go to the AAR website to listen/watch live/find a station near you.

That’s All, Folks

I’m hosting a birthday dinner party this evening and don’t have any more time today for blogging.

I will do one more post if my latest Firearms News article gets published, but that’s it on news tips ’til Monday.

Now I’m off to the store for last-minute stuff, then I gotta clean the grill of of accumulated gunk, and then pretty myself up for the guests.

Oregon Court Decision Sides Against Second Amendment and with Tyranny

If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored.

Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?

Standing Up to Cowardly Bullies

Being in the public eye brings many challenges, and the Pollack family knows this all too well. In 2018, they lost their daughter, Meadow, in the horrific shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. This devastating event changed their lives forever, and they dedicated their lives to speaking out for school safety and working with law enforcement. But since then, Andrew Pollack and his son, Hunter, have faced relentless harassment and threats. [More]

He’s a good man. Too bad we don’t see the names of the “neighbors.” They deserve to be properly acknowledged.

That said, why move to “rural Oregon”?

This punk doesn’t look like anything that couldn’t be fixed by hand, but you just can’t do that these days.

Unreality TV

The family of late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins have blasted “shameless” Alec Baldwin’s new reality TV show The Baldwins, filing a notice of deposition Monday demanding the actor “face the real-life consequences that he caused” and “face reality under oath.” [More]

I guess my question is, whose life is so devoid of constructive pursuits that they have time to regularly watch? And how do they vote?

Like Nobody’s Business

The bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business by amending New Mexico’s Unfair Trade Practices Act to make it easier to sue a gun store than any other type of business and imposing harsher penalties on gun stores than any other type of business. [More]

And when they pass that, Democrats have plenty more waiting in the wings.

A Red Letter Day

A Michigan court may issue an extreme risk protection order “ex parte” – without written or oral notice to the subject of the order or an opportunity to respond to the allegations. If the petitioner is a law enforcement officer, he or she may apply for an immediate emergency order “verbally over the telephone,” without a written petition, and the judge or magistrate may issue the order based solely on that request.

So… does this mean Carita’s a liar…?

We’re the Only Ones Loading Enough

The lieutenant in charge of the state Department of Corrections’ gun ranges has been arrested and accused of stealing and selling millions of rounds of state-owned ammunition worth almost a half-million dollars. [More]

As a former policies and procedures guy, I have to say my jaw dropped that the procurement and accounting systems allowed him to even contemplate doing this. This is criminally negligent management by his superiors and they should face charges, too.

Figures, this is frickin’ New Jersey…
