Focal Point

Update to Proscribed Countries for Import Restrictions.[More]

I’m not so much concerned with the countries as the arms restrictions…

“President Trump doesn’t even need Congress to get rid of the unconstitutional 1989 ‘assault weapons’ import ban, he just needs to order the BATFE to declare all imported semi-auto rifles as ‘sporting,’ which is what these same models are considered when domestically produced.”

Something in Common

Cole Allen purchased a Maverick 12-gauge pump-action shotgun from Turner’s Outdoorsman in Torrance last August … [More]

I guess this means the antis want to ban those, too…

If anyone is wondering if when I lived in the South Bay I ever bought a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun from that exact store, I’d remind them that my longstanding disclaimer is I’ve never owned a gun because they’re evil, nasty things that always go around killing people. I’d never been in Martin B. Retting’s several times either, and what contortions the grabbers went through with that one…

That’s Why It’s Called ‘Fraud’

Decades of national and state-level data on violent crime, homicide, and mass shooting show no consistent evidence that stricter gun laws reduce overall crime rates. [More]

Right, but as anyone with a brain knows, that’s just an excuse to give the suckers while they’re swindling them out of their rights, and never was what they’re intended to do.

Tell me about the worst gun you’ve ever bought. I’m bored sitting in this dialysis chair [More]

As is no secret around here, I’m not a hardware guy (more of a bad pun guy) and have very few posts on guns per se as there are plenty with more qualified insights. I do wonder how many of the firearms being singled out would not have been included had they been used in a successful DGU.

Safe Storage

The bill does not force any retailer to provide firearm storage, nor does it micromanage the agreement between them and a firearm owner… Additionally, the bill does not mandate storage by any firearm owner, nor does it provide a pathway for others to do so without the owner’s consent. [More]

Those would have been my two main concerns.

I guess I’m lucky this is not a situation I’ll likely find myself in. You know, because I don’t own guns– evil, nasty things always going around killing people…

Not Exactly Matt Dillon* But So What?

Now, Dhillon has made no mention of being an experienced shooter. She’s not pretending that she’s an expert shot or anything like that. She’s learning. However, people criticizing her for not being an expert was troubling, to say the least. [More]

That there’s no shortage of d!ck gun owners feeds another meme.

The first time I shot a 1911, I missed a Foster’s Lager can.

If that makes you feel superior to me, I’m sure glad it’s not your life I’m living.

* It makes me feel old to have to explain I’m talking about the character, not the actor.

Speaking of Critical Infrastructure…

The Post has sought comment from Beretta and Ruger. [More]

Now seek one from NSSF and NRA, and ask them to articulate their positions on this and ask if they see any potential Second Amendment concerns legislation could be needed to address.

And Another One Gone, and Another One Gone, Another One Bites the Dust

Firearms manufacturers that closed down operations and filed for bankruptcy in 2025 included SCCY Industries LLC, whose assets were seized by the Volusia County Tax Office of Florida at its Daytona factory on March 11, 2025, for non-payment of tax debts of almost $250,000… And now, struggling firearms maker and dealer Custombilt Firearms Manufacturing LLC has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after battling the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives over its license in 2023 and 2024. [More]

So, unlike Big Rock, they’re both being shut down by governments headed by “pro-gun” administrations…?

Enemy Strength

Republican women are 14% more likely to own guns than Democrat men. [More]

That may not be a fair metric since one party knows how to define genders. Still, it’s telling.

And it also illustrates why new gun owners are nothing to crow about.

In terms of total numbers, I wouldn’t be starting any civil wars if I were that outgunned…

The Phantom Menace

Gun that killed Charlie Kirk… [More]

Words have meaning. Does “conservative” Fox News really not know any better?

…is WWI-era rifle that may be untraceable…

Before serial numbers were a thing…? So “ghost guns” had always been (and still are!) “in common use at the time” until treasonous prohibitionists started defecating all over “shall not be infringed”…?

HHS Report Ignores ‘Gun Health’

Kennedy’s health commission leaves guns out of its 20-page report [More]

I agree with critics that it should have mentioned guns, but not for the same reasons: If it purports “to help parents improve their children’s health,” it ought to include resources for development appropriate firearms training.
