Adventures in Baselessness

Michigan authorities suspected there was a possible voter registration fraud scheme occurring across multiple states during the 2020 election and were concerned enough to bring in the FBI, according to police memos reviewed by Just the News. But what happened since remains mostly a mystery. [More]

It’s no mystery to some.

We’re the Only Ones Tearful Enough

In an effort to persuade Judge Kelly to add terror enhancement to the defendant’s sentences, Loyd alongside U.S. Capitol Police Officer Shae Cooney Mark Ode broke down in tears claiming they were traumatized victims of an insurrection that was planned and orchestrated by the former Proud Boys leaders who were found guilty of seditious conspiracy.

We’re the Only Ones Criminal Enough

[T]he Mission Division gang unit has effectively been disbanded, with members transferred elsewhere amid accusations that officers were routinely turning off their body cameras — and possibly stealing from the people during traffic stops … Sources … said the gang unit officers are also suspected of slipping Apple AirTags into some of the vehicles they stopped, allowing police to track them without a court-issued warrant.

Just the guys to surrender those guns to

Don’t worry Angelenos. You still have the LASD.

Keep voting Democrat, suckers!

We’re the Only Ones Wasted Enough

Internal Revenue Service Employee Brandished Toy Gun at Service Center in Utah… Bryner also indicated he had a medical marijuana card and uses marijuana … Bryner made two attempts to purchase rifles from a federally licensed firearms dealer in Ogden, Utah. On both purchase forms, Bryner certified he is neither an unlawful user of nor addicted to marijuana. [More]

This was in March– I haven’t been able to determine what happened to the case, if anything yet.

I’m curious to see if he’s been offered the same “consent to permanent entry” deal as Hunter Biden.

Contradiction in Terms

COVID Tyrants want to take away our Freedom. Hear my words— WE WILL NOT COMPLY. [More]

How does the John Kerry saying go?

He was for it before he was against it?

An angry reader canceled his Firearms News subscription and had some choice words for me about this.

He must have only read the parts he wanted to before storming off, like the title, because I thought I’d explained myself:

This is not an exercise in piling on and kicking a man when he’s down, nor an invitation for the wrong-headed rebuttal common among those who still think the guy is some kind of Second Amendment 4D chess master, “Would you rather [insert Democrat gun-grabber here] were president instead?”

No, of course not. By the same token, we are not doing ourselves or those depending on us to stand for freedom any favors if we deliberately ignore Trump’s willful failures on guns. Because this is going to end one of two ways – strengthening his renewed bid for a return to the White House, or ending any chances of it. If he wins, we need to be able to collectively influence his 2A decisions and judicial appointments and get him to understand what the bad ones are before he makes them. If he loses, we need to be ready to do the same with whomever the Republicans nominate to carry the standard.

Denying reality, complimenting the Emperor’s exquisite, nonexistent wardrobe, and attacking observations so simple a child can see them not only guarantees more destructive disappointments, it aids and abets the rights swindlers who will take infringements any way they can get them.

It also, ultimately, hurts Donald Trump’s candidacy. The people he needs the most — those who can think beyond the self-promoting rhetoric — know when it’s not raining.

But I don’t suppose it’s in the guy to ever admit he’s been wrong about anything, show he understands why he was wrong, apologize, and detail how he’s going to fix the damage and then make it better… and that’s too bad for all of us.

You Say You Want a Revolution?

A Marxist teacher from Colorado, who called for a “FORCEFUL Cultural Revolution” against “Whiteness,” was voted in by Democrats to fill an open state House of Representatives seat Saturday. [More]

Why does this surprise anyone? Democrats are communists.

The only ones who haven’t realized that are the useful idiots.

And the sleeping bourgeoisie.

BOHICA

Justice Department Proposes New Regulation to Update Definition of “Engaged in the Business” as a Firearms Dealer [More]

Here’s ATF’s summary.

Here’s the proposed rule.

When they’ve got it in the Federal Register you’ll be able to find it and comment here.

Not that the tyrannical swine following orders to impose this will listen.

Which means a filing to halt this based on history, text, and tradition of gun sales at the time of the Founding will need to be filed in a jurisdiction likely to issue an injunction.

UPDATE

GOA’s take:

Today, the Biden ATF formally rolled out their plans to implement backdoor universal background checks, which was made possible by Senator John Cornyn’s “compromise” legislation passed last summer.

Inviting Pushback

State Rep. Demands Investigation After Seven Vehicles Carrying a Dozen ATF Agents with AR-15s and Tactical Gear Raided Gun Dealer’s Home in Oklahoma [More]

They’re trying to provoke. The danger needle is buried in the red.

The question is whether specific orders are issued from on high or if field offices have nod-and-a-wink carte blanche to give management plausible deniability for their excesses, and excuses for widespread overreactions to limited resistance.
