Current Wild Swings of the Gun Control Pendulum

Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed. [More]

All this back-and-forth has got to stop.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

A Pakistani paedophile who attacked a teenage girl has been allowed to remain in the UK after successfully arguing that deportation would violate his human rights due to his alcoholism. The man, who has been granted anonymity for his protection, committed the assault after being released from prison for previous sex crimes. [More]

Just turn off the life support machine already.

Big Win for Pam Bondi!

The Supreme Court sided with the federal government’s effort to regulate so-called ghost gun kits for making untraceable weapons. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for seven justices upholding federal regulation, over dissent from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. [More]

How DOJ squares that with “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” has not been stated.

Babbit Season

President Trump: “I am a big fan of Ashli Babbitt, and Ashli Babbitt was a really good person… She was innocently standing there… and a man did something to her that was unthinkable when he shot her and I think it’s a disgrace. I am going to look into that.” [More]

I didn’t realize there was a conspiracy outside of the one perpetrated by the Capitol Police. Then again, I believe “we” landed on the Moon.

Hey, here’s a good bit of news.

40 years, eh…? Is Leider gonna keep him?

If he did have a hand in Gunwalker, my bet would be in after-the-fact damage control and stonewalling, although I have seen no proof of even that. At the time things were going down, he was assigned to the Northeast working out of Philly.

Like Sands Through the Hourglass…

We Are Running Out Of Time… The current Republican response to these attacks has been to send out ludicrous form emails and newsletters telling people to “flood the Democrat’s” inboxes. While we would like to chalk this up to stupidity and the magical thinking of 5 year olds, we cannot. This is cowardice and a cynical attempt at job security. [More]

Most gun groups still haven’t learned what a waste that is, unless you want to give safe seat Democrats a good laugh.

Any Bets on ‘Mostly Peaceful’?

I’m thinking of driving my Tesla with the MAGA bumper sticker down there and having a look…

Actually, if I were Elon Musk, I’d hire one of these to fly over the more populated events (assuming any draw more than dozens):

Adventures in Baselessness

Trump Signs Executive Order to Secure Elections, Including Proof of Citizenship [More]

Wait… I thought believing in voter fraud was a manifestation of GOP psychosis.…

I mean, if we can’t believe a Mother Jones/MSNBC “journalist,” who can we believe?

It’s almost like “denier” actually applies to voter fraud, but the language perfecters reversed the meaning…

And She’s Getting Away With It, Too

Yet again MORE financial conflicts of interest with IL Supreme Court Justice Rochford [More]

Not that the new and improved DOJ cares…

Abusive Discretion picked it up, but none of the “gun groups” are incentivized to mention it.

Democrat ‘Civil War’ Means Party and Its Demands on Guns Will Move Farther to the Left

While the country as a whole may not be ready for an AOC White House bid, a potential coalition builder like Wes Moore is another matter altogether. [More]

They’re looking for someone even the radicals won’t attack. And counting on Republicans to blow it in the midterms through to ’28…
