What Does Massie Challenger Gallrein’s Promised 2nd Amendment Support Really Mean?

“What I try to do with these things is show readers a politician will go beyond platitudes and demonstrate an understanding of concerns and developments the constituents are expressing and following”… [More]

The Second Amendment is the sole focus of this article, not any other policy issues or the reasons Trump wants to end Massie’s political career, nor Massie’s reasons for opposing parts of the president’s agenda.

You Get What You Pay For

In a withering critique of Brown’s handling of the case, Smith decried his fellow jurist as an “unskilled magician” caught in an “illogical straitjacket,” who was handing a victory to Democratic billionaire George Soros and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. [More]

Why did Trump nominate him? Why did Abbott stump for the guy? Why did Republicans as a bloc vote to confirm him?

“It’s out of character,” some will say? “It took us by surprise”…?

I’m more of a “When a guy starts hitting his wife he’s been abusing her in other ways for some time” kinda analyzer.

Not-So Hidden Agenda

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) introduced the Second Amendment Restoration Act on November 12, 2025, launching a direct assault on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act signed by President Joe Biden in June 2022. [More]

“Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted“

Methinks this is just a backdoor way to remind gunvoters of Cornyn’s treason and give boost to Ken Paxton’s challenge next year.

Cutting It Close

President Donald Trump is making a final multimillion-dollar investment in Tuesday’s statewide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, in an effort to turn out MAGA voters who tend to sit out off-year elections when Trump isn’t on the ballot… Republican operatives are tracking down low-propensity GOP voters, and then reaching out to those voters through phone-banking efforts, or through digital and social media targeting ads. [More]

They’re finally getting around to this exact plan? Isn’t asteroid deflection more effective when its farther away?

Especially when it’s a yuge asteroid…?

Let’s hope it’s not too little too late. I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Yes, Virginia Gun Owners, There Is a Governor’s Race

Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation Successful in Overturning Virginia’s Universal Background Check Law; Judge Halts Enforcement [More]

So what are the odds that it will be appealed, especially if Spanberger wins?

I mean, it’s not like we can count on NRA-endorsed Jason Miyares should he beat Jay Jones:

AG Miyares continues his Second Amendment betrayal

Here’s the thing– I’ve been pretty vocal about NRA and Winsome Earle-Sears, but how does GOA explain this?

And I’m getting similar results here and here.

I’d think being headquartered in Fairfax, I’d want a more visible information effort from both my 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) entities.

A Matter of Degree?

Critics accuse Cornyn of capitulating to Democrats’ gun control demands — even though the bill largely did not restrict gun owner’s existing rights. [More]

Is “not largely” restricting rights like being a little bit pregnant?

The current is either on or off. How much current there is does not alter that.

Nor does equivocation. Because once you flip that switch, you allow for turning the dial.

Listen Carefully

Anyone considering stealing groceries better listen carefully. Watch until the end because the last thing he says is spot on! [More]

I dunno. Seems if he ever follows through he’s created evidence that can be used against him in both criminal and civil proceedings. That and having to rack the slide…

Bravado may feel good but it’s not enough.

Will the “shutdown” cause EBT recipients to go on the warpath and rob stores/steal full shopping carts in parking lots? I know there are a lot of racist rage bait posts revealing content of character going on right now, and I expect we’ll see some motivated to try, more as people get more desperate and see others getting away with it.

Have enough on hand to where you don’t have to go to the store. Maintain situational awareness. Don’t shop in bad areas, and if you see anyone who raises your hackles in good areas, proceed with caution or stay in your car and come back later.

I’d think big membership bulk stores like Sam’s Club and Costco could be likely targets, and of the two, it’s Costco that requires their customers to be unarmed.

Like Sgt. Esterhaus always said…

And I just found this from the other day still in the “drafts” folder:

Oh, SNAP!

Washington DC’s Biggest Union Collective, AFGE, Just Told Democrats to End the Schumer Shutdown [More]

Think they read Matt Bracken?

And does anyone think those who mean to rule won’t use weaponized food riots to create martyrs and gin up political demand?
