And Another Step

ATF’s New Era of Reform… Easing the NFA Transport Burden – In a sea of nothing burgers, here’s half a step in the right direction. [More]

Look, I don’t mean to just sound negative and admit this is a hell of a lot better than anything the government has backed off on so far, and if Democrats were in charge they’d be going for a full court press in the other direction. It’s just that these are our birthright that they have no claim on.

Yes, I’m glad that the torturer is easing back on the thumbscrews. I want him to ease off more. But what the hell are we doing on the rack in the first place?

A Good First Step

Top DOJ official predicts Supreme Court will declare AR-15 rifles legal everywhere in America [More]

Great, as it should be.

I don’t mean to be the party pooper, but heeding Mr. Wolf (NSFW) for a second, two concerns remain:

  • What’s going to happen when Democrat states and Democrat judges ignore it?
  • What’s going to happen when Democrats take the majority?

Assuming we can get it to stick, how does the administration sound on ending NFA and GCA mg registration and the post-’86 ban? ?

Yeah, I know, there I go blackpilling again. Just ignore me and have some rainbow stew.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment

Tate Adamiak to receive 50 days of ‘Diesel Therapy’ punishment – He will be kept completely out of touch in the back of a DOC van. [More]

As long as we’re in a new paradigm of text, history, and tradition, what’s the Founding Era parallel where they would have kept an inmate captive in a wagon for a month-and-a-half because he claimed a right the government was mandated not to infringe?

Harmeet knows the Constitution– maybe she can tell us:

Ay, There’s the Rub

Homeowner shoots, kills man reportedly breaking into their home in Spring … That altercation proceeded outside into the streets …
… The homeowner decided he followed the suspect out … It will be up to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office to determine whether any charges will be filed. [Watch]

It’s rarely in one’s legal interests to continue a confrontation outside. If it’s found there’s history, that will complicate things further.

Ozymandias

Ted Turner dies aged 87: Billionaire founded CNN and was married to Jane Fonda [More]

That ain’t the craziest thing he did:

[S]ome, like CNN founder Ted Turner, see an increase in military suicides as “good” because, as he told Piers Morgan (naturally), that will somehow pave the way for a more enlightened United Nations world policeman…

Mark 8:36 comes to mind… as does a favorite poem.

Bending the Truth

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said Monday the city will not bend the knee to a legal threat from the U.S. Department of Justice over the city’s longstanding assault weapons ban. [More]

That’s some industrial-strength gaslighting right there.

Anybody else getting an Iran vibe out of the administration offering a deal and having it rejected out of hand by people who think they can hold out until the clock runs out?

Shaky Foundation

NRA Foundation Files Opposition Motion in Reply to NRA’s Request for Summary Judgment [More]

What a rabbit hole.

In terms of whose side I’m on, these people made themselves irrelevant to what’s important to me a long time ago when I decided finding my own way instead of group efforts run by compromisers was what kept me going. The only reason I’m interested in this story is to watch John’s reporting thoroughness as he explores and unfolds – I like watching how he does it and puts it all together.

Life Imitates Art

Chicago pol says Walgreens should be charged with ‘first-degree corporate abandonment’ over closure over theft [More]

Idiocracy was not fiction.

What a childishly retarded view of government– so naturally his constituents voted for him to make laws. That this serves the interests of those who know perfectly well what they’re engineering and why doesn’t even register.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

Close to the Vest

Watch them come out and try to face by saying it’s a non-functional fashion replica, which will only prove Marx for Our Lives cultists were lying in the first place — imagine that. Thing is, unless Letitia’s attack dogs examine it, all we’ll have is their word for it.

I’d like to see more gun owners press her to investigate, which means, of course, this soon-to-be-forgotten and easy-to-ignore X reply may be the whole salvo.

I had to look up Racquel Chevremont to see why she’s famous, and still don’t get it.

The Bear Necessities

Bear attack in Yellowstone National Park leaves 2 hikers injured [More]

The good news is:

Yes, you can carry a gun in Yellowstone.

The bad news is:

But it’s illegal to fire it – even in self defense.

Just think, the people who enacted and enforce that edict all swore an oath to the Constitution. I wonder what the Framers would have thought about that.

And the Winner Is…

Casey Putsch lost to Vivek Ramaswamy. [More]

I figured he would, but just because you’re outnumbered doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

Barring unforeseen upheaval, I give Ohio 10 years to go solid blue. And our “gun rights leaders” will have played a big part in that.

And talk about a relevant UPDATE

Secretary of State Frank LaRose is prohibited by Article 15, Section 4 of the Constitution of Ohio from certifying Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy’s results in the Ohio Republican Party nomination for Governor of the state until he confirms he is a Citizen of the United States. [More]

I guess the idea of “Heritage Americans” doesn’t seem so “loony” to him about now. Wouldn’t this be a hoot if Casey won by default? Until Swamp Vichycons started helping Amy Acton by sabotaging him because he ain’t in their Big Club…

UPDATE

Frank won’t know until the promised lawsuit:

Based on reports from the May 2026 Ohio primary, there is no evidence that Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose refused to verify Vivek Ramaswamy’s win or questioned his legal citizenship. 

We’re the Only Ones Flushed Enough

Classes have been cancelled at a northwest suburban school on Tuesday after a resource officer misplaced his gun while he was using the bathroom on Monday afternoon. [More]

Again…?

Who does this guy think he is, Michael Byrd…?

Like the answer is to “review procedures”… And if you really wanted the department to be accountable, Chief Pecora, you’d tell us the goofball’s name.

Machine Gun Ruling Exposes Republican 2A Hypocrisy

The 11th Circuit joins “several sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of machine guns.” That’s consistent with the Trump administration’s position on the matter, his campaign promises that “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president,” notwithstanding. [More]

Face it, gun owners are voting for who infringes less and accepting excuses for not demanding more.
