Going with What Works

The Biden Justice Department retaliated against the Drug Enforcement Administration agent who exposed an operation allowing hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to enter the United States, the whistleblower’s lawyer said… The fentanyl operation has drawn comparisons to “Operation Fast and Furious,” a Justice Department gunwalking scandal that occurred during the Obama administration.

Project Drugwalker…

Ask yourself how those who want to disarm us benefit from guns to cartels or drugs to addicts and a very disturbing picture emerges.

They are monsters.

DOJ Withholds Rights Restoration Records Citing Privacy Concerns

FOIA Gibson Gun Rights Restoration

The need to apply consistent criteria is not only a matter of basic fairness, but of law. [More]

The very first comment needs to be addressed. With an initial estimate of 50 FTEs processing applications, the need to minimize subjectivity and establish consistency should be self-evident, especially noting how DOJ has shown it can still be all over the board on 2A, even under a “pro-gun administration.”

Further noting this is a rule and not a law, it’s not hard to see how lack of clear criteria could allow all kinds of negative dispositions under a new administration for those applicatons already in the pipeline before it terminates the program altogether.

On Again/Off Again

“The Trump Administration is fighting as hard as it can to continue violating the Second Amendment rights of millions of Americans. Even though the Fifth Circuit already held that these bans are unconstitutional, the government is trying to limit the decision’s reach so it can keep disarming peaceable adults across the country. This is how the United States government celebrates 250 years of American independence—by acting like the tyrants we defeated. [More]

Just after getting an “attagirl.”

I’m telling ya: Bipolar.

Anybody else see founding intent problems?

Is “controlled delivery” anything like walking guns, and how does one ship silencers from China without Chi-com complicity?

Because They’re So Racist, No Doubt

Justice Department Opens Investigation of Philadelphia Police Department’s Allegedly Unconstitutional Permit Revocation Practices [More]

Glad to see I’m in good company…

From a strictly political point of view, this is a really good move for disarming accusations that the administration is racist. Who is it that wants to ban their guns and who is it saying they have a right to them until and unless they abuse it?

If They’re Not Doing Anything Wrong…

US attorney accuses California of blocking voter roll audit- Federal prosecutors have sued California to release voter registration records, saying universal vote-by-mail and no voter ID system creates conditions for fraud [More]

What have they got to hide?

Whatever the results, California is still going to be overwhelmingly Democrat. How about focusing on some swing states that were close?

Revenge of the Weasel Whisperer

Weaselwhisperertillis

Thursday on CNN International’s “Connect the World,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who claims the ability to end Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General with a “no” vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Blanche must condemn those involved in the January 6 to get his vote. [More]

It’s always the enemy inside the gates who can do the most damage, and it’s been clear for a long time that he intends to maximize that until his term expires.

That Republicans aren’t even floating the idea of removing him from the committee shows the Swamp is far from drained.

About That ‘Beautiful Second Amendment’

MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [More]

Translation: We’ll put on a show and throw you some short-lived scraps once in a while to make it look like we haven’t been completely lying to you about the right to keep and bear arms, but when it comes down to actually obeying the “shall not be infringed” mandate, well, f_ you.

Keep stokin’ that fire in our bellies, boys!

Speaking of Restorative Justice…

DOJ moves to erase seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys in Jan. 6 cases [More]

I don’t really know anything about Proud Boys but I can say if Oath Keepers had wanted to engage in sedition they had the capability to go in armed and tactically coordinated, and based on the LE performance we all saw, take over the place.

Gimme Five!

The question is this. Since September of 2025, how many federal government lawsuits from Trump’s Department of Justice have been filed in support of the Second Amendment against gun control jurisdictions across the country? Five times. [Watch]

I’m in a mood today. I see stuff like this and my first thought is it’s a way to turn the heat down for a bit to keep the frog from jumping.

Déjà vu All Over Again

THIRTEEN CHARGED AS FEDS CRACK INTERNATIONAL GUN SMUGGLING RING EXPLOITING THE U.S. AND CANADA BORDER… Straw-Purchased Firearms Sourced from New Hampshire Gun Dealers Were Recovered at Canadian Crime Scenes [More]

This reminds me of something. But what…?

I wonder how many CIs they had embedded in the Akwesasne ring, and if guns could have been intercepted before “walking” across the border– or it being Canada, would it be “gunsledding”?

DOJ Tells Virginia ‘See You in Court’ After Latest Gun Ban – Virginia defined those guns as “assault firearms.” [More]

It doesn’t strike ruling Democrats that the official seal of the Commonwealth shows armed Virtue standing over a slain corpse, with the motto “Thus always to tyrants,” or that the fallen crown shows what the Founders had in mind by “No Kings”…?

‘Common Use’ Challenge to Denver Semi-Auto Ban Misses Important Point

“The City has banned an arm in common use for lawful purposes by law-abiding citizens. Therefore, the Ordinance violates the Second Amendment.”

That’s not why the ban violates it. [More]

If something needs to be officially designated “popular” by government in order to be “legal,” we may as well start calling each other “Comrade.”

Inconstant Heart

The Trump Administration Is a Powerful but Unreliable Ally of Second Amendment Advocates – Even as the Justice Department files lawsuits aimed at vindicating gun rights, it undermines them in other cases. [More]

I’d use a different word than “unreliable”…

I wonder what it would take to fix that…

Charlie’s Idea of Great R&R

“Assistant US attorney Charles Strauss Jr,” Peterson said. “He was actually on site for the raid. He actually orchestrated and coordinated the raid. It wasn’t done with law enforcement. It was done through the prosecution. So, the prosecution actually was the ones who did the raid, orchestrated it, and it was because of the bipartisan Safer Communities Act…the US assistant US attorney, actually told my attorney that Peterson will never traffic firearms again. That was one of his statements.” [More]

His LinkedIn page says he’s still employed…
