Funny how that works.

Metastasizing
A little over a month ago, merchant category codes for guns were still a little-discussed backdoor ploy.
Now they’re pounding on the front door with ISO announcing a global standard. (I know a bit about the process from a past life, back when everybody thought it was just about quality standards.)
Just a month and a half since my initial Firearms News warning, look at how this is dominating the narrative. Bottom line, if you want to do business, bureaucrats in Geneva say you have to turn snitch.
Funny thing about all those headlines spreading the same talking points: None of them are documenting the communist front groups behind the demand for this.

The Wait is Over?

PSP Commissioner Evanchick, in relation to its non-compliance with 18 Pa.C.S. 6111.1, by failing to provide instantaneous or otherwise immediate responses to firearm background checks. [More]
Guy looks like more than his hat is too tight…
You gotta wonder what kind of monkey wrenches the state will try to throw into the works before September 12 and what kind of surprises they have planned for after…
Gunmakers Could Take a Stand & Stop Arming the Disarmers
It’s past time gun manufacturers stopped acting like neutral parties, willing to reap the benefits of RKBA activism as long as they don’t have to take a stand. It’s not inappropriate to publicly ask those companies what their position is, and to favor and patronize those that stand with American gun owners (and publicize those who won’t). [More]
Or our “gun rights leaders” could just do nothing and continue turning a blind eye…
They’ve Got Theirs
Asian Americans are buying guns in record numbers. [More]
Yeah, well, how come they keep electing Democrats by landslide margins?
Until that changes, I’m not impressed. And names like “LA Progressive Shooters” don’t convince me that it will. Meaning all this giddy celebration by some “pro-gun” voices is naive.
Besides, you know who else is buying guns in record numbers? If gun ownership was the benchmark, we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.

It Could Be Stronger
Amid an unprecedented and unjustified attack on the firearm industry, Smith & Wesson President & CEO issues strong statement: pic.twitter.com/6NHztbGIe4

Good opening statement. Now tell the rulers of cities and states doing this that their gun confiscation enforcers can get theirs from somebody else.
The Official Numbers

Defensive buys drive gun sales to 35th straight month over 1 million [More]
Everyone is aware of how the enemy is all set up to direct the noobs their way and how I see no organized attempt by established “gun rights groups” to inform their members and counter that? And how Gun Culture 2.0 cheerleaders are curiously silent about how they vote?
If owning guns was all it took, we’d have no better pals than Lon Horiuchi and David Chipman.
