Gun Store Shutdown Moves Ahead
Republican Senator Fred Girod said he believed the point of the bill was to make guns more expensive. We disagree. The bill is clearly designed to make guns unavailable. [More]
Don’t look to the controlled opposition to deny a quorum.
UPDATE
I’m told the House decided a floor show was an appropriate people’s business concern:
Where There’s a Will…
An illegal alien from China pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for illegally exporting firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea by concealing them inside shipping containers that departed from the Port of Long Beach, California, and for committing this crime at the direction of North Korean government officials, who wired him approximately $2 million for his efforts… In May 2023, Wen purchased a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts. Wen purchased many of the firearms he sent to North Korea in Texas and drove the firearms from Texas to California, where he arranged for them to be shipped. [More]
How did he pass NICS? How did he get an FFL? What was the name of his business? And where were all Joe Biden’s “zero tolerance” IOIs?
Funny, how “news” accounts by “real reporters” don’t seem to be curious.
How much more attention did he need to call to himself? Is it wrong to wonder if anyone’s palms were getting greased? Including not just his ATF overseers, but agents at docks approving shipments to hostile nations…?
What a Democrat dilemma that this illegal alien criminal will face deportation once he’s served his sentence. I can see heads exploding trying to figure which side to take.
UPDATE
Looks from the criminal complaint that he used “straw purchasers.”
I’m still not clear on what this “firearms business in Houston” is about, but then with all the stuff I gotta do today, I’ve only had time to scan the complaint, not go through it line-by-line.

Citigroup lifts banking curbs on gun makers and sellers [More]
And I don’t see a firearms merchant category code…
It’s good to see them back in the business of being equal opportunity usurers, but I’m still not replacing the card I tore up after they decided to screw over gun businesses.

ATF’s “New Era of Reform” – What Does it Mean?
Reeves & Dola, LLP outlines what’s been said and calls our attention to an upcoming compliance conference where what it means for the industry/FFLs will be elaborated. [More]
Just Between Us Girls
There’s a new trend in gun ownership — more women are taking up firearms, not only for sport, but also for self-defense. According to Gallup, gun ownership among women rose from 15 percent in 2007 to 2012, to 20 percent in 2019 to 2024. [More]
Now watch NSSF gush!
As long as we’re sourcing Gallup:

First You Cry
…and yet now I have a nagging feeling like I’m doing something wrong. Like I’m somehow putting myself and my partner at risk by having a gun in the house. [More]
I’ve never understood “gunfluencers” who think Democrats buying one is some sort of victory for “our side”…

Mugged Liberals
None Dare Call It Bipolar
The FDIC will eliminate “reputational risk” from regulatory standards. Since President Obama began “Operation Choke Point,” Democrats and anti-gun financial institutions have weaponized “reputational risk” to de-bank the gun industry. [More]
See? Back and forth, back and forth…

Out of the Frying Pan
The manufacturer will close its Bayonne operations and move jobs to its newly expanded headquarters in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It will also move jobs to two additional facilities in nearby Ladysmith, Wisconsin. [More]
The state that elected this cheesehead governor…?
Oh, Henry…
Feeding Frenzy
Oregon Democrats are drunk out of their minds with unchecked power. The goal is to punish anyone who still believes in the Second Amendment and to drive gun dealers out of business. [More]
Plus they own the courts and Oregon Republicans, on the whole, are worse than useless.
Sprint to the End
After a floor vote on SB318 was delayed last Thursday, the bill was brought up again on the Senate Floor tonight for a vote and was passed 21 to 18. Numerous gun stores from around the state have told us the bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business. [More]
A gas-operated firearm and magazine ban, red-flag gun confiscation, and concealed carry infringements are still in the pipeline. The session ends Saturday, so Democrats are looking to do as much damage as they can.
Like Nobody’s Business
The bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business by amending New Mexico’s Unfair Trade Practices Act to make it easier to sue a gun store than any other type of business and imposing harsher penalties on gun stores than any other type of business. [More]
And when they pass that, Democrats have plenty more waiting in the wings.
And Your Point Is?
Guns are not just for conservative white men [More]
Don’t tell us– tell the Democrats.
Yamane is the guy behind “Gun Culture 2.0,” basically a subtle way to get gun owners to help divide and conquer by thinking it’s about guns instead of freedom, and never questioning how noobs vote and the impact that has on all our rights.

Breaking the Code
To prohibit payment card networks and covered entities from requiring the use of or assigning merchant category codes that distinguish a firearms retailer from general-merchandise retailer or sporting-goods retailer, and for other purposes. [More]
But…but…but precrime snitchware…
Now we’ll see if there are enough Vichycons joining Democrats to block it…
