Meanwhile, Across the Pond

The government of the United Kingdom, wielding the controversial Online Safety Act 2023, has issued a direct ultimatum, launching a blatant assault on the principles of open discourse that define our community. They demand that Gab submit to their stringent censorship regime, threatening exorbitant fines potentially reaching £18 million or a crippling 10% of our global revenue if we refuse to bow to their demands.

So, what “3D chess move” is Trump up to?

Holding Pattern

U.S. Department of Justice Announces Second Amendment Pattern-or-Practice Investigation into California’s Los Angeles County [More]

Good, but why California and not Illinois?

I’ll be using this as a springboard to help introduce yet another effort to get their attention on denial of rights in an article I’ll be finishing up this weekend.

Over a Barrel

Commencing on July 1, 2026, this bill would, except as specified, prohibit the sale or transfer of a firearm barrel, as defined, unless the transaction is completed in person by a licensed firearms dealer. The bill would require the licensed firearms dealer to conduct a background check of the purchaser or transferee and to record specified information pertaining to the transaction, including the date of the sale or transfer.

How would they know you didn’t do your transactions out of state?

News You Can Wipe With

The Justice Department is releasing plans to create a process for those with criminal convictions to restore their gun this decision sparking alarm that it will return firearms of those of convicted violent crimes… [Watch]

Make sure you take a look at the comments under the Queen City “News” video.

Sir Wilfrid has a question:

Facebook Community Standards Redux

On Facebook, Hodgkinson had featured a post that said, “[President Donald] Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.” Hodgkinson was also a member of Facebook groups “Terminate the Republican Party” and “The Road To Hell Is Paved With Republicans.” [More]

And by “Trump & Co.” and “Republicans,” they mean not just you, but ultimately, anyone who isn’t a fellow Bolshevik.

Oh, look: After two assassination attempts, self-appointed Terminators and the Pavers are still there!

Unlike me, they violated no “community standards.”

Burning Bridges Lost Forevermore

Man arrested in Molotov cocktail attack at Tesla shop in Las Vegas will also face federal charges [More]

That police press conference was interesting to watch. And with motivated feds piling on, I’d say if Paul thought his life was miserable before, he ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Anybody find anything on his social media?

None Dare Call It Bipolar

The FDIC will eliminate “reputational risk” from regulatory standards. Since President Obama began “Operation Choke Point,” Democrats and anti-gun financial institutions have weaponized “reputational risk” to de-bank the gun industry. [More]

See? Back and forth, back and forth…

“Not Today, Satan!”: Ex-FBI Agent Finds Possible ATF Honeypot Website Operation Selling Glock Switches [More]

I wouldn’t be so sure it’s the feds.

I wouldn’t put it past the antis to do something like this so they could report any low-hanging fruit placing orders.

Career Management

“After a few minutes of conversation, we found out Rob is a huge 2A advocate and was interested in purchasing a few firearms.” [More]

I wasn’t aware of that, but I see this isn’t the first time.

Good. We can use all the high profile help we can get.

It’s nice to see he’s still working in an industry where “coming out” the wrong way can be the kiss of death.

We’re the Only Ones Laughable Enough

The officer claimed that flashing headlights to warn oncoming motorists was not protected free speech, and that he was justified in handcuffing, frisking and detaining the driver after he laughed at him. [More]

I have a feeling Deputy Ellison is in for a lifetime of Streisand effects.

Common ‘Law’

N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]

I hate to say I told you so.

We’re the Only Ones Lead-Footed Enough

SAPD officer suspended after speeding nearly 100 times in patrol unit, records show [More]

What? They’re not going to prosecute him for each violation like they would you or me?

And speaking of what else they’d do to you and me:

Additionally, Texas automatically suspends the licenses of drivers who get more than four moving violations, such as speeding, over 12 months or those who get more than seven moving violations within 24 months.

I guess that’s why they’re “Only Ones” and we’re not.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Whistle)

But this is NOT a major loss for 2A or gun rights. First, it is not a 2A case so it does matter at all to Heller/Bruen analysis. Second, SCOTUS clearly left open the door for Trump to repeal the Biden ATF regulations (or even rewrite them in a very favorable way for the “home-made gun” industry… [More]

Regardless of how it was presented, this definitely is an infringement on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And the next administration can undo any rule change this one makes.

Not the first time I’ve questioned this guy…

Herschel has some thoughts.

We’re the Only Ones ‘Cop’rophilic Enough

Police chief pooped by desks, spiked coffee with Viagra, cops say in list of assault complaints [More]

He was trusted to carry a gun while citizens whose rights New Jersey Democrat prohibitionists $h!+ on weren’t.

In all the 30+ years I was employed, the thought of doing something like this never crossed my mind, but then, I don’t have the superior training.

Maybe “Taking a Farley” should become a thing.
