Gun Groups Applaud DOJ Opinion on Under-21 Handgun Sales [More]

Gunkapo Greg Lickenc…uh…brock once more shows us the difference between a “real reporter” and #justablogger!

That was particularly skillful “journalism,” bolstering his case by ending with a crime committed by a 22-year-old!

So… how much higher would they like to raise the age limit…?

The More Things Change the More They Stay the Same

ATF’s “61 Alerts” Claim Hides Broader FBI Gun-Buyer Surveillance [More]

I though our “gun rights leaders” were all drooling over Robert Cekada and the gun-grabbers were wringing their hands over Kash Patel…?

Ninth Circuit Leaves California’s 24/7 Gun-Store Surveillance Law in Place [More]

If they’re not afraid to violate the Second Amendment, why would tyrants worry about ignoring the First, Fourth, and Fifth?

A Fleeting Glance

The documents show that Fleet Farm firearms compliance specialist Michelle Granato never answered an email from employee Cory Klebs flagging a series of purchases he deemed suspicious in July 2021. [More]

I’ve addressed this case before.

When you know the types of environment you’re operating in, especially with Commie Keith being the state’s top gungrab enforcer, and you ignore vulnerability warnings, well, it sounds like Michelle’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Catch-22 and FU

Connecticut gun dealers forced to suffer yet another no-sales day… The State of Connecticut does not allow gun dealers to run their own NICS computer checks. It insists on running the checks for them, as well as a half-dozen other state checks… “I’m not saying that the State of Connecticut is intentionally doing it, but it’s been consistent enough lately.” [More]

Of course they’re doing it intentionally. Knowing this is a recurring problem that denies citizens their rights and costs already struggling dealers a lot of money — and not making it a priority to fix it — is just another way gun-hating Connecticut Democrats are saying “F_ you, die.”

RKBA advocates there ought to file a FOIA with SLFU (!) for all internal government correspondence/emails, minutes, instructions, records, etc.

Location, Location, Location

Goleta Gun Shop Relocating Next-Door to Preschool, Sparking Community Outrage… Catherine Mizrahi and her husband Dan, whose child attends the preschool, said they want the conversation to remain focused on safety rather than politics. “We’re hoping to have a focused and respectful discussion. This isn’t about opinions, politics, or gun rights. This is about child safety and community concern,” Mizrahi said. [More]

If that’s the case:

Gunstorepreschool

So it will be “about opinions, politics [and] gun rights,” or lack thereof. How did I know the antis were gonna lie?

That said, how could the gun store not know this was going to happen with that location? Then again, the outrage crowd doesn’t want gun stores anywhere.

A Right Denied

This has got to be one of the most frustrating processes that I can think of because there’s just nothing that we could do to stop it. Or at least that’s how it feels. But this is what happens when the left has a super majority in the state. They could pass whatever they want without a care in the world because there just isn’t enough opposition to make a difference. And when they get so much support from the executive, it becomes a a game of who can pass what the fastest regardless of the Constitution. And that’s exactly what we have here. [Watch]

“Don’t like bad gun laws?” she asked. “Tell Congress, ” she answered.

I’d suggest another way, but I wouldn’t want the “gun rights” establishment to call me “juvenile.”

No Dog in This Fight

Any potential acquisition by Italian Beretta would place a major US defense and firearms manufacturer with operations in three key battleground states — under foreign ownership. [More]

So the concern is for the standing army, not the militia of the whole people? Why does Ruger’s main concern not being the Second Amendment not surprise me?

As for Beretta, anyone else note the irony of their HQ being in Luxembourg?

Gun manufacturers… most don’t deserve us, you know…

In the Spirit of Aloha

Why are residents being charged multiple fees not authorized by law? Why are residents being charged at all when the County is already paying for the system? Why is confidential firearm data being handled by a private company? And who is ensuring compliance with Hawaiʻi statutes? [More]

And why is such a “public/private partnership” not referred to by it’s true name?

A Mixed Bag

Among changes expected to be forwarded by the administration in 2026 include proposals to ease private gun sales, ship firearms interstate via mail, export firearms overseas, trim fees for licensed retailers, and simplify the 4473 Form required when purchasing a firearm, including requiring applicants list their biological sex at birth. [More]

It ain’t all winning.

License fees and prior restraint applications the Founders could do without, and and as for the sex identifier, if DOJ/ATF were compliant with Trump’s EO, they’d have already gotten rid of “non-binary.”

An Age-Old Question

How Old Do You Have to be to Buy a Gun [More]

Tench Coxe said “sixteen to sixty” as fit for militia service, but never even hinted at ownership prohibitions on either side of that range.

U.S. Code says “The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age,” so how it can then require 21 for handguns is one of those paradoxes that can only be explained by pointing out fraud.

Michael Bloomberg says “25”… if you’re a minority male.

And, of course, we know the goal is Democrats would rather see you dead first.
