A Public/Private Partnership

“Don’t Lie” is a cooperative program between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and NSSF. [More]

So if a trusted friend or relative is a “prohibited person” because they ran afoul of some unconstitutional citizen disarmament edict, or have been “red flagged” and disenfranchised without due process, the industry “solution” is to turn your back on him? Sounds like fascism in action to me.

If someone has been proven a truly dangerous character, why would they be anyplace they could receive a gun — from any source? We all know what prior restraint “background checks” enable, and how that will be exploited once Democrats have the votes. And since when is the mantra that “gun control” works?

Every time I see NSSF bragging about licking jackboots, kapos and drivers come to mind.

Nashville C… uh … Cats

CMT Uses Music Awards to Announce Partnership with Gun Control Group [More]

I’ve gotten tips on this from WarOnGuns Correspondent @PamNSC and let her know I will be doing an article on this as soon as stuff ahead in the queue is cleared out.

I intend to use this development as a springboard to recall past sell-outs by overprivileged lottery winners determined to put the … well, I’ll let The Saddle Tramps explain (NSFW!)

Who’s Asking?

WaPo: Mass shooting raises controversial question: What’s the Christian thing to do about guns? [More]

That it’s “controversial” is the first lie, but one to set everyone scurrying off in the wrong direction. Shall we consult the “historical understanding” that the Founders accepted?

“He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend [it]self.”

Or we could just listen to more violence monopoly propaganda from the useful idiot rope-selling DSM, in this case from an outlet whose elitist multibillionaire owner profits off of child pornography…

Call Me Erresponsible…

ATF is proud of our partnership with @NSSF to irradicate straw purchasing activities in the St. Louis area through education using the “Don’t Lie” campaign. #DontLieForTheOtherGuy [More]

Hiring the best and the brightest, are we? Hey, if we expect them to irrase irroneous tweets, their whole account will have to go.

And, of course, NSSF‘s “compromise“ is not enough.

Block Allegations Point to Favoring Criminals Over Legal Gun Owners

As far as gun owners are concerned, it couldn’t happen to a “nicer” leftist billionaire. That Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter and current Principal Executive Office and Chairperson of Block, should be reported as an enabler of criminal transactions while discriminating against lawful commerce in firearms is just another contradiction between what anti-gunners say they want and what they actually achieve. [More]

Help criminals and discriminate against gun owners? It’s good to be a woke elitist!

When Mini-Tyrants Rage

A coalition of 14 attorneys general condemned payment networks majors including Visa Inc, American Express Co and Mastercard Inc for pausing work on a merchant code to help detect suspicious gun sales in the United States. [More]

That tells me everything I need to know.

Why is Reuters calling state attorneys general “U.S. attorneys general”?

Senators Menendez, Warren urge regulators to support new gun sale code [More]

And that tells me everything I need to know, too.

Rope-GIVING ‘Capitalists’

REPORT: The Black Lives Matter Movement Has Received a Stunning $82 Billion From Corporations [More]

Paid for by end customers through higher prices, of course.

I wonder how many give because they’re truly “woke” fools, how many submit to extortion out of cowardice, and how many believe it will buy their way out of the tumbrels.

Pioneers! O Pioneers!

Former Colorado Rep. Pat Schroeder, pioneer for women’s rights, dies [More]

And here’s Pat encouraging a rope-selling capitalist to undermine those rights.

Just about every article I’ve seen calls her a “pioneer.” I don’t see a coonskin cap, so I’m assuming they mean this kind…

A Public/Private Partnership

The firearm industry worked with Congress to update the statutory definition of “in the business”… The firearm industry was the progenitor of the point-of-sale instant background check … The firearm industry has been on the leading edge to improve the quality of FBI’s NICS … NSSF supports increasing the submission of disqualifying records to FBI NICS … NSSF welcomes the Biden administration’s renewed attention to safe storage of firearms in the home … NSSF has not opposed the use of emergency risk protection orders, or so-called “red flag” laws … President Biden’s demand to close “the dating violence restraining order loophole” … was not opposed by the firearm industry … NSSF does not oppose the reauthorization of the Undetectable Firearms Act … The Undetectable Firearms Act as it is currently written should be made permanent … [More]

Aaron Zelman had a term for such collaborators.

Naturally, It’s Trump’s Fault

SVB Failure Sparks Blame Game Over Trump-Era Regulatory Rule [More]

Yeah, more central government control, that’s always the answer, because they do so well at everything else. Plus it’s in the Constitution somewhere, isn’t it?

The less someone’s actions are regulated, the more they bear responsibility for them. It’s like a law of nature or something. Meanwhile, the major banks think it’s good business to collude on policies that alienate tens of millions of Second Amendment-believing gun owners.

Bank Un-American

Whistleblower: FBI’s D.C. Office Tried To Sic Local Agents On Innocents After Bank Of America Volunteered Gun Records… ‘Bank of America, with no directive from the FBI, datamined its customer base,’ whistleblower George Hill told the House Judiciary Committee. [More]

Who’s still doing business with them?

I wonder how many “staunch defenders of the Second Amendment” are on this list and ready to vote “bailout” when called upon…

Grounds for Divorce

Hey @EvanHafer what’s goin on at @blckriflecoffee bud 🤣🤣🤣 Your accountant outshot you in a competition so you proceeded to try and sexually humiliate him because he’s a mormon with more moderate attitude towards sex? [More]

That’s not the only grievance, and if true, it adds new meaning to “Chock full o’ Nuts.”

Once is Happenstance

Billionaire financier Thomas H. Lee found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wound in NYC office: sources [More]

I wonder if the people in the blonde and pink wigs might offer a clue…

And not to cast doubts on the official story, but the “suicide” angle would have a lot more credibility with me if he’d been found tied to a tree or something…

Hey, “Twice is coincidence,” right?

Merchant Codes Show for Gun Owners It Doesn’t Pay to Discover

But if the merchant codes don’t go to the SKU (stock keeping unit) level and identify specific items purchased, some may question what the big deal is. For that, look to the proponents of the codes and how they have announced they intend to use them. [More]

The rope-selling “capitalists” don’t seem to realize what historically happens when their usefulness is up.

It Pays to Discover?

Discover Financial Services, a provider of credit cards, told Reuters it will allow its network to track purchases at gun retailers come April, making it the first among its peers to publicly give a date for moving ahead with the initiative, which is aimed at helping authorities probe gun-related crimes. [More]

So the rope-selling capitalists at Discover have sided with the in-your-face communists at SEIO/Amalgamated on their precrime snitch system.

Any gun owner who does not cancel his Discover card is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Any FFL who accepts them is willfully giving up customer information.

That seems like the kind of thing NSSF could make go widespread — if it wanted to.

UPDATE

The merchant code in question is “5723 – Gun and ammunition shops,” and to that end, I’m hoping to get some Twitter play out of this:

Too Many Chiefs

Change the Kansas City Football Team’s Racist Name and Imagery [More]

As long as we’re rabble-rousing and bellyaching…

I guess they won’t be interested in the compromise mascot I offered Cleveland’s MLB team:

Speaking of the Super Bowl, as usual, I didn’t even know who was playing and when it was until the day of the game. Kansas City and somebody else.

In case anyone wants to know why…

I did see a report last night that the purveyors of woke “inclusive” divisive separatism once more kicked things off with the “Black National Anthem” and once again wondered if any player taking a knee would have seen his career and his economic future destroyed, and if any fan had done it would he have made it out of the stadium alive?

The Trouble with Harry

“Harry Styles” + gun [More]

This …person.

Don’t worry. He’s made sure everybody knows his body’s guarded.

So a Brit donated $1M to Everytown so they could support or oppose candidates to impose citizen disarmament edicts that were resisted at Lexington and Concord.

And a word from Harry is a free publicity appeal to the mindless.

Funny, how the doctrinaire Marxists say we should eat the rich.

Their intent, of course, is to replace the rich.

Reaching for the Stars

“It’s a double-edged sword,” said Richard Deschain, co-owner of Ragnarok Axe Throwing LLC in Indianapolis. He said throwing star blades can get bent and hooked over, increasing someone’s odds of getting cut. “I would say the easiest way for that to have any kind of solution is to require a layered Kevlar glove to be worn when they’re throwing any other object like a throwing star,” he said. [More]

“Require”? Leave it to a competitor to promote restrictions.

Am I wrong to sense a “trainers against permitless carry” vibe?

The Monster Makers

Throughout history, excess wealth has been used to salve society’s problems, funding hospitals, food banks, and building libraries to develop minds and cathedrals to lift the spirits. But increasingly, the charitable urge has shifted away from such worthy causes and, increasingly, reflects a distinct progressive agenda that seeks, ultimately, to transform lives through the expansion of state power. [More]

A lot of people will have preceded them before the rope-selling “capitalists” get theirs. The creation becoming uncontrollable and turning on the Creator seems to be a recurring theme. We’ve seen it happen with our own government and there are no indications anything stands in the way of mass bloodthirsty madness but those who will not go gentle into that good night.

Or are we supposed to be special?
