What Price Freedom?

AK Loyalists Won’t Admit It, but the Platform Might Be Finished in America… Ammo Prices: The AK’s Last Big Selling Point Is Gone… 5.45×39 has basically dead [sic]in the USA, thanks to import bans and dried-up stockpiles [More]

For some reason this reminds me of an argument I had as a boy: Who would win? Batman or Tarzan? The real question is “Why, in the land of the Second Amendment, are there “import bans”?

Seems to me that Trump could trump Biden. Especially since American gun owners are being punished for the alleged crimes of unknown someones else: “It is believed that Russia is the only known country to have used Novichok and the nerve agent is only available to Russian state authorities.” [Emphasis added]

Take the ammo first, due process later?

And then there’s GCA 68, with “sporting purpose” exemptions for import bans.

Who makes that determination? And who’s their boss?

While gun owners are arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, when it comes to costs responsible for the divide they’re missing the main cause. And you’d think Trump, getting hammered on the economy, would find it useful to give his biggest supporters a price break.

So…. where is the Second Amendment Task Force on this? Where are the “gun groups”? Then again, if they change it the antis would have a field day when one of their constituents shot up the next “gun-free zone” with imported AK rounds.

Is that what we’ll accept as an impediment to our rights that we can’t get around? Because there will be more bloodbaths of opportunity as long as enforced victim pools exist, and if we cede ground here, they’ll occupy it and them move in closer. To argue otherwise is to deny what everyone can see but some, on “both sides,” won’t admit.

And No One from the ‘Greatest Threat’ In Sight

A startling rise in violent attacks and threats against historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) throughout the country is raising concerns among students, administrators and experts, as multiple shootings and fake threats have been reported across campuses. [More]

They make it sound like racists are responsible.

In a way, they’re right.

Not that Google AI will admit it:

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

I rest my case.

We’re the Only Ones Covert Enough

Capitol Police Officer Shauni Kerkhoff Identified as J6 Bomber Based on Forensic Match — Testified to Firing Pepper Balls at J6 Crowd, Then Months Later Took a Security Job at the CIA [More]

Where’s the arrest?

Will it happen before her (alleged) handlers get to her?

And will she be kept in a safer cell than Epstein?

Alternatively, where’s the libel lawsuit?

Blaming the Victim

During Friday’s St. Louis Board of Aldermen meeting, 12th ward Alderwoman Sharon Tyus blamed Palestinian gas station owners for crime in her ward. [More]

What moron! Everybody know it’s the guns’ fault.

Explain to me again how it’s “The Man” holding her — and constituents who vote for her — back.

Whistling Past the Graveyard of History

Mayor-elect Mamdani reeks of Lenin — but NYC’s wise safeguard against Marxism stands in his way [More]

I can’t help but feel relying on 1975’s Financial Emergency Act as a panacea is a bit of wishful thinking. Communists mean to rule by hook or by crook, and then by violence.

There were plenty of laws on the books the Bolsheviks ignored when they seized power. And this isn’t happening in a one-off vacuum.

What, No Payback?

The City CONCEDED its ordinance violates state law.
Memphis admitted that every line of its handgun-carry ban, vehicle-storage rule, so-called “assault rifle” ban, and red-flag scheme is 100% illegal under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1314. (Order pp. 3, 9–11) The Judge called the ordinance “DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.” The Chancellor wrote that “The Ordinance and those who proposed it engaged in ‘virtue signaling,’” but “the Ordinance is as dead as a proverbial doornail as a matter of Tennessee law.” (Order p. 6) Simply put, the Memphis ordinance is entirely unenforceable. [More]

So what will hold them accountable, make them pay, and discourage future in-your-face infringements?

The Silver Lining

NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will become a National Anti-gun Force [More]

I hope he does.

Because so far, their most successful weapon has been to call citizen disarmament “commonsense gun safety,” and someone who wants to ban them all neutralizes another lie.

Maddeningly, there’s one other in-your-face position the gun groups still aren’t ready (are too craven) to exploit, undeniably spelled out in his acceptance speech, acknowledging the supporters giving power to his subversion:

I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties… And we will build a City Hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism. Where the more than 1 million Muslims know that they belong – not just in the five boroughs of this city, but in the halls of power…New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

Using the “single issue” excuse to deny the obvious needs to be seen for what it is and for what it enables.

Look On Their Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair

He got the “guns are not the only armament” part right, but the others are just to get us to a gun.

But don’t take my word for it, comrades.

It’d be awful tough to round people up and herd them over to the box car or lime pit if all you had was a pipe bomb in your hand.

And just out of curiosity, if you “do it right” this time and create a stateless society, what authority will prevent me from making and trading in guns with others of like mind?

Cancel culture only works if all of us crave your approval and don’t possess the means to live life without you. Now take a look at your average smelly and talentless Antifa freak and tell us how many of those you’d like to rely on.

Gunpowder, Treason and Plot

Neo-Nazi Martyn Gilleard has been found guilty of making bombs for a far-right terrorist campaign, after having previously admitted downloading thousands of images of child sexual abuse. [More]

That there are Gorn among us is all the more reason the rest of us need gunpowder. And a point of order about “far-right” Nazis…

And I forgot to commemorate what day I posted that.
