A Crisis of Faith

Trump Has ‘Lost Faith’ in N.R.A., Says Gun Group Official – In a new letter, an N.R.A. vice president said the troubled group needed to rebuild trust with Donald J. Trump and his inner circle. [More]

While I agree with him on William Brewer, there’s a saying about people in glass houses.

And speaking of rebuilding trust…

Are his expectations for Gun Owners for Trump that they will be a valued sounding board and advisory group to keep him from going off half-cocked and saying/doing more stupid sh!+, or will he expect to just summon a few to publicly kiss his ring once in a while and then brag about their access to the president?

Speaking of Zero Tolerance…

Shooting range in SLO County to close at end of the month [More]

Based on the lame excuses given (some buildings not ADA accessible and youth shooting fees) it’s not like there are any significant safety or environmental factors warranting closure and this is just CDFW bureaucrats doing their anti-gun masters’ bidding.

Shuttting down training facilities to develop skills is the opposite of “commonsense gun safety.”

Up Until the Very Last Second

So committed are these staffers, Efron confesses, that they plan to work right up until the final moments on inauguration day, rushing to ensure that every possible tax-payer dollar is disbursed before a Republican administration can turn off the spigot. [More]

I find it hard to believe there’s nothing the Republican-controlled House can do to stop this in its tracks– for instance, could House Oversight announce an audit and order a freeze on non-operating cost disbursements pending its completion? What about letting activist employees know they’ll be fired in January if they keep it up?

Slipping at the Blood Dance

Look at the comments. People aren’t buying it anymore.

We’re the Only Ones Arms Dealing Enough

Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime [More]

It’s a prickly issue, alright…

On the one hand, I see the danger.

On the other, it seems like Democrats could use this to call for destruction rather than resale to the public…

If government just followed the law, we woudn’t have this problem.

Forgive and Forget

By Pardoning Hunter, Joe Biden Covers Up His Own Influence-Peddling Crimes [More]

Who else will he pardon on his way out?

That’s another reason why they keep him propped up in office, because a pardon issued by someone who is not competent to issue it would hardly be legal.

In other words, the president’s not pardoning them, his handlers are.

Location, Location, Location

Investigators believe, judging from surveillance video and evidence collected from the scene, that the shooter had at least some prior firearms training and experience with guns and the weapon was equipped with a silencer, the official said. [More]

So much for that reform not being hysterically attacked, even though it had no bearing on the outcome. Now all they need is to tie him in with right to life.

At least he appeared to respect the law enough to stay just on the outskirts of Manhattan’s “sensitive area”:

Color Revolution

Camo is a combination of black, brown, dark grey, dark green. So it would technically be legal. [More]

Not to put too fine a point to it but woodland camo includes sand, which is recognized as a color. Ditto for desert camo and beige. And those aren’t the only palette combinations.

The point of being so specific is that her proposed law is, and sticking to the letter of it shows what a cluster**** it would be in practice, just like “assault weapon” characteristics bans.
