ATF Director Cekada’s Concern for Adamiak Misses Larger Point

“Cekada promised neither he nor the ATF will be ‘offended by the outcome of the courts,’ because he wants to make sure that Adamiak was ‘appropriately sentenced’,” Williams recounted. That’s mighty big of him. However, Second Amendment advocates should be offended by such a presumptuous response. [More]

Focusing on the punishment being too harsh ignores the intolerable injustice of there being any punishment at all.

That presumes they can be embarrassed, that the initial allegations aren’t what stick, that the enemy doesn’t know and exploit that, and that PJ Media isn’t an echo chamber that is self-contained.

“Trust fund.” Right.

Noting all the waste, fraud and abuse, and money spent on illegals…

I sure wish I’d had the money they took from me all my working life (and forced my employers to cough up, thereby lowering my wages) to invest. Instead, we’ve been coerced into dependency by a government that presumes to be more responsible with our money than we would be, and which, despite denials, was the long-term plan all along.

Theoretically, who should be hanged?

Former NRA CEO must repay $4.3 million for misappropriating money, court rules [More]

When I think back to how furious Fairfax über alles prags used to go after me ‘n Mike for insistently pointing out what is now “common knowledge”… (kinda like another issue I won’t let go in spite of deliberate indifference/ suppression/ hostility…)

And we’ve still never gotten an answer on “CEO,” which they are still using, despite the Bylaws specifically saying:

“The officers of the Association shall be a President, one or more Vice Presidents, an Executive Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, a Chief Compliance Officer, an Executive Director of the National Rifle Association General Operations, and an Executive Director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action.”

“The Board may not abolish said offices nor create any other offices.”

I’d have more faith in “reform candidates” if they were sticklers for the Bylaws (just as men of good faith are supposed to be sticklers for the Constitution), but all I’ve heard are deflecting excuses that deliberately miss the point like, “Well, that’s what he does.”

We’re the Only Ones Fishy Enough

Debiase allegedly confronted a fellow officer who was “warming up fish in the microwave, causing an odor in the office,” the arrest warrant stated. During the confrontation, the detective allegedly “drew and pointed his department-issued handgun” at the other officer, the arrest warrant stated. [More]

Don’t try this at home, “civilians.” This requires professional training and experience.

Color within the Lines

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Tuesday for Alabama to use a pro-Republican congressional map that eliminates one of its two districts where Black voters make up a majority or ​near-majority, giving a boost to President Donald Trump as his party defends its control of Congress in November’s midterm elections.

OK, but what’s that got to do with RKBA?

Shameless Plug

Firearmsnewjune26

The June 2026 issue of Firearms News is now available at diverse, equitable, and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic (of course you could just take advantage of lower subscription prices).

I have two pieces in this month’s mag:

  • Department of War Memorandum on Private Guns on Military Bases a Step in the Right Direction (p.14)
  • Dismissal of Immigration Threat What the Gun Prohibitionists Want (p. 24)

A comment on that last one: Several “top men” in the RKBA “firmament” called me out on the issue and have gone silent instead of addressed my documented and sourced rebuttals, meaning the readerships they influenced will likely not see how they’ve been — and are still being — misled by them.
