Notes from the Resistance
But believing in the “Great Replacement” (along with the “pernicious” lie that “there is an ‘invasion’ at the U.S.-Mexico border of immigrants who are poised to change the demographic nature of the country”) is racist?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue“!

The tactics he described are familiar in the world of online commerce, from food orders to clothes. But the presentation betrayed no consideration of the consequences that may arise if the tactics are applied in a widespread way to the selling of firearms and ammunition. [More]

Their biggest problem is they didn’t sound like they were under duress– they sounded like they were gung-ho on it.

Prohibitionists will do anything to avoid the obvious– besides, it ain’t their money.
They have removed their post but they’re still getting knocked around on X and this will follow them around forever.
No doubt some legal risk management type thought they’d better get ahead of potential product lawsuits with a disclaimer, kinda like Glock distancing itself from add-on switches.
It won’t work, of course, because lawfare in the name of public safety is just a cynical tactic being employed toward a greater strategic goal.

Reddit Bans Subreddits where Gun Parts and or Accessories are Traded or Sold [More]
I guess I need to set my ingrained bias that considers Reddit a waste of time aside and admit it influences an order of magnitude more gun owners than I ever will.
That doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Law enforcement agencies will soon have easier access to footage captured by Amazon’s Ring smart cameras. In a partnership announced this week, Amazon will allow approximately 5,000 local law enforcement agencies to request access to Ring camera footage via surveillance platforms from Flock Safety. Ring’s cooperation with law enforcement and the reported use of Flock technologies by federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has resurfaced privacy concerns that have followed the devices for years.

Dimon did not denigrate President Donald Trump. Dimon was not complimentary of President Donald Trump. The JP Morgan CEO believes the U.S. Federal Reserve was doing a good job. In the past, Dimon has skirted questions about JP Morgan Chase Bank’s stance on gun control. It appears he has tried to avoid the issue while pleasing and provoking both Second Amendment supporters and those who want a disarmed population. [More]

California Gov.

So that’s what being “a trusted partner of law enforcement” gets you…
That and “compromising” to save your skin…
The “cool” thing is the “Only Ones” exemption is still there! That might actually be what keeps the PLCAA in play, although I’m sure there are Democrat activist federal judges eager to impose nationwide injunctions.
And I’m sure there’ll be no shortage of gun companies eager to keep the enforcers armed and ready to confiscate.

These are very serious allegations that could destroy these guys’ business, so remember how we all worked ourselves into a lather over Donald Trump saying “Take the guns first, due process later.” It’s innocent until proven guilty, and it will be interesting to see how/if they respond.

I didn’t see any there that couldn’t easily be boycotted or substituted for.
Unfortunately, don’t expect most gun owners to care enough to do anything about it, including expanding the list when new anti-gun businesses are found, notifying fellow gun owners, or doing something so simple as challenging businesses publicly on their social media feeds with this:
Yeah, I know, they “won’t do social media.” Or view it as advocacy media, another tool in the kit, another chair in the bar fight…
Who’s “our” real enemy, again?

A consulting firm funded by left-wing billionaires has embedded itself in the offices of 40 progressive prosecutors, where it has quietly helped to craft soft-on-crime policies that now affect 48 million Americans across 22 states. Known as the Wren Collective, the firm provides its services to the prosecutors for free and with no expectation of publicity, according to a new report by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF).

Those who do not learn from history:
Most Russian elites did not support the Bolsheviks; those who did, or allied with them during the revolution, faced severe consequences. Many were executed during the Red Terror or later purged by Stalin, while others survived by concealing their origins or fleeing the country.
