WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M. proves the useful idiot editors of the Scranton Times aren’t really believers in “background checks”– their “reasoning” reveals what they really want is to end all gun sales. [More]

New Name, Same Role
You will never go broke betting on the hypocrisy of the left. In this case, the NAACP, NC Black Alliance and other advocacy groups claiming to represent Black Americans are backing (if you can believe this) a Jim Crow law. [More]
That’s because leftist advocacy issues will always take a back seat to the greater goal of securing a totalitarian monopoly of violence.
Besides, remember who the drivers were.
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Asian Americans have long been the lowest gun-owning demographic in the US, however, a recent string of mass shootings is changing that. [More]
Yeah, well, there’s a problem with that:
44% of Asian American registered voters surveyed think of themselves as Democrat, 19% think of themselves as Republican…

New Leak Shows The ATF’s Plan To Revoke FFLs [More]
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends upon what the meaning of the word “rogue” is.
Et Tu, Cabelas?
Cabela’s in Indiana not selling standard capacity mags to IL residents [More]
They ID customers to buy magazines? What law?
They just don’t want to get sued? Maybe volunteering to be a proxy for the grabbers will end up costing them more than that.
And what about Bass Pro Shops?
I’m trying to recall from my earlier career if I’ve ever met a corporate risk management director who didn’t need to have their bowels unblocked.

Losing Momentum?
Now the latest background check data shows the gun-buying craze wanes, though it remains elevated. [More]
The noobs, I kind of get if they’re young.
As for the old hands, I guess I don’t understand how creating a record of buying something you’re afraid is going to be banned is supposed to work.

Scare Tactics
The man who was fatally shot by police after entering a Target store in Omaha, Nebraska, armed with an AR-15-style rifle had obtained the weapon just four days earlier at a Cabela’s sporting goods store, police said Wednesday. [More]
And aside from putting Cabela’s on the spot with a fact irrelevant to the situation, the purpose of telling us that is…? Did the guy pass the background check we’re told must be made universal or not?
If it had been four years, they’d simply come up with a different avenue of attack.

Lawless Enough for Government Work
CCDL RESPONDS TO GOVERNOR LAMONT’S LATEST ROUND OF ANTI-GUN PROPOSALS [More]
An open carry ban and purchase limits — just like the Founders intended.
And no, of course that’s not all the tyrant demands.
Interesting, who these control freaks presume the law is supposed to protect…
When will in-your-face defiance of a coequal branch of government and suppression of unalienable rights be properly considered the insurrectionary seditious conspiracy that it is?

Washington State Pile-On
The Assault on Our 2nd Amendment Rights [More]
I could spend time quibbling with that characterization, but the priority here is understanding the areas of attack:
- HB-1240 has a long list of weapons that will be banned under this legislation.
- HB-1178 – Concerning local government authority to regulate firearms.
- HB-1143 – Concerning requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
- HB-1144 – Enhancing requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
- HB – 1240 – Establishing firearms-related safety measures to increase public safety.
They’re all over at the above link, plus Washington Gun Law details them out and points out the urgency for action. [Watch]

Still Waiting for an Answer
However, for those like Hudson who do have these concerns, I’d offer a suggestion. If you feel this way, you should start pushing the lawmakers asking for your support to oppose gun control. [More]
We’re well aware of Republican betrayals and failures. That said, what kind of utter moron says they’re for the right to keep and bear arms and then backs Democrats, and what kind of two-faced opportunists support that?
Just because the enemy has guns is no reason to mistake them for our friends.

A Numbers Game
That was the third-highest NICS number ever, following records set in 2020 and 2021. [More]
So where’s that red wave?
Making happy talk assumptions doesn’t help.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before
Firearm enthusiasts in Oregon are flocking to gun stores as they wait to find out whether a federal judge will delay the start of a strict permit-to-purchase law before Thursday’s deadline. “The parking lot has been a disaster,” Northwest Armory owner Karl Durkheimer told Fox News. “The side streets around our place have been a disaster.” [More]
I wonder how many didn’t lift a finger and let groups like Oregon Firearms Federation carry all the load without helping.
I wonder how many are Democrats.

The Plaintiffs in this action are a group of highly trained and experienced firearms users whose lives were upended by a dangerously defective pistol: the Sig Sauer P320. [More]

California Firearm Purchase Delay Evokes MLK ‘Justice Denied’ Quote
If the California DOJ won’t let Ed buy a gun, what’s to say they’ll let him keep the ones he already has if their misidentification persists? It’s not like they don’t know what he has and where he lives. That alone, along with the propensity of state disarmament enforcers to violently descend in the middle of the night, makes calling attention to his plight a matter of personal safety. [More]

When Black Friday Comes
Received via email:
Noted this recent news item:
“Numbers released Monday show that the FBI ran 192,749 National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background checks on Black Friday 2022.” (and 711,372 total for the week) — Did not include the number rejected and I don’t expect to ever see a final tally of justified rejections vs. approved on reexamination.
