And There Was War in Heaven

The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) today announced it has issued a subpoena to @Magpul , demanding the release of civilian sales data on standard-capacity magazines after the company refused to cooperate voluntarily for over a year. [More]

Where did the press release go, and why?

We’re the Only Ones Weaker Enough

Two female police officers vs a short maybe 130lb male. Who wins? [More]

And thing is, he didn’t want to hurt them– the ingrained conditioning against hitting a woman still holds in those of us who aren’t savages. If he’d been actually fighting using punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and fought like you would against a man, they’d have had to shoot him, which ought to be a lesson in itself.

And here I’d expected any one of them to be able to do a three-point landing and take out half-a-dozen linebackers…

It’s almost like TV and movies tell us one thing and reality tells us another…

Tales of the Expected

Well the 2A movement won’t get good originalist judges without voting, and it won’t get good 2A lawyers without working with and funding pro 2A groups. [More]

The argument that wining elections isn’t needed and that Trump and the courts will save us so we can rest assured the 2A is in no danger is an excuse that doesn’t hold against even minimal scrutiny. It’s also an abdication of self government and of having a hand in saving ourselves.

If someone from on high provides it to you, they own you.

As for the TINVOWOOT crowd, if you’re not willing to use the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders to do the easy things, I question how effective and organized you’ll be if the things we can still take for granted get existential and deadly.

Still, I fully expected most to not give a damn and the ones who do weigh in to justify lack of action with excuses. Call it the curse of Cassandra or attribute it to an inflated ego. That doesn’t alter a basic truth– if you don’t put work into something, don’t expect it to give you what you want.

We’re the Only Ones Hotdogging Enough

‘Handsome’ Hawaiian police dog dies after being left in hot car by handler… “The K9 handler involved in this case is devastated as you would expect,” Mahuna said. [More]

“Devastated”?

Not “fired”?

Not “arrested and prosecuted,” as would happen to any one of us if we killed a K9 in self-defense, and in a much quicker and more humane way?

It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.

This take on the story seems more accurate than the “news” headline.

And So It Begins

Democrat Walkinshaw wins special congressional election where Trump loomed large – Democrat wins Virginia special election seat after voters ‘send a statement’ on Trump policies [More]

Ready to see that happen again and again?

Yeah, but it was a Democrat district.

Making excuses and doing nothing else will ensure more Democrat districts.

Without Coordination, Money and Boots on the Ground, Virginia Will Be Lost to the Gun Prohibitionists

Fusaro has offered a detailed plan, and good one. It’s up to NRA and VCDL to share what plans they have developed to see how their detailed strategies compare… [More]

What happens here will be a bellwether for the midterms. We’re either serious about this — and willing to do all the necessary things — or we’re not and we won’t.

Look at This Haul of Fabulous Prizes!

The Hottest Guns!
Great Gear!
Fantastic Hunts! [More]

I really am so out of tune with fellow gun owners that I’ll always just be a fringe guy in a niche. I have never grokked why they need to be offered incentives to do the right thing (and that’s assuming donating money here would be the right thing).

Maybe that’s why this campaign will rake in tons of dough while I can’t even get but a handful to help a friend in need, share a link, or lift a finger to advance a joint effort we’d all benefit from.

I wonder what kind of merchandise they offered to get farmers to show up at Lexington and Concord…?

We’re the Only Ones Gulling Enough

Safe firearm storage just got more accessible in San Francisco. Mayor Daniel Lurie and Supervisor Stephen Sherrill on Thursday announced a first-of-its-kind program that allows residents to drop off their guns at any of the city’s 10 police stations, where San Francisco police will securely store them for up to a year at no cost. [More]

And best of all, it’s the brainchild of someone with fatally poor judgment in the men she sleeps with!

Question: If they really believe San Franciscans are this stupid, and based on voting patterns that can’t be far off, how is it they’re qualified to handle and transport firearms safely and legally from their homes to the designated drop-offs? It’d be something if some well-intentioned dupe who didn’t pay attention to the details came strolling into a station holding a gun to lock up only to be blown away by panicking Only Ones…

It’s be even funnier if a gun turned in for storage ended up at a crime scene…

We’re the Only Ones Exhausting Enough

“The trooper stepped up and immediately told me my car’s exhaust was way too loud and was disturbing the peace,” Mike continued. “I tried telling him it’s an EV and doesn’t have an exhaust or an engine, and he stated he’s not gonna argue with me.” [More]

The loudest thing I heard was that obnoxious and wholly unnecessary yelping coming from the copmobile. And what’s with “the officer”? The public doesn’t deserve to know this petty Barney Fife’s name?

Interesting, though, that Dodge feels the need to make their EV Charger sound like something not driven by George Jetson.

A Woman Scorned

Erin Patterson, 50, was found guilty in July of murdering three people, including the parents, aunt and uncle of her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, with a beef wellington meal she had deliberately laced with death cap mushrooms picked near her rural home in the state of Victoria in 2023. [More]

Good thing Australia has such strong gun laws!

But 33 years…? Assuming she’s still with us, will she be safe to cook meals again by then?

News You Can Wipe With

Students walk out at CVPA High School, protest gun violence [More]

Well, yeah, because learning is racist.

I wonder how many have relatives in jail… Still, I can almost forgive these children because they don’t know any better and have had their views shaped from Day One by idiots, useful and otherwise — like on-camera spokesgelding Patrick Clark, who parrots the narrative right at the start, with his insipid “young people advocating for commonsense gun safety measures” lead-in.

Counting Chickens

The Image That Killed The Democrats In 2026 And Beyond [More]

Mr. Wolf says don’t bet on it (NSFW).

Republicans have a unique talent for turning advantage into catastrophe, and there’s nothing more wedded to insanity than a Democrat constituency. The last thing we need is lazy gun owners figuring they don’t have to do anything besides squabble with each other in internet comments because the echo chambers they frequent tell them a Red Wave is unstoppable.

All eyes should be on Virginia. I have an article pending publication that explains.
