Well, I was the one complaining about not enough outsiders on the “Task Force”…

If Elon Musk Supports the Second Amendment, Why Is X Still Banning Gun Ads?… This correspondent does not worry about it. Elon Musk has already demonstrated he is a Second Amendment advocate. [More]
No, he hasn’t, and making excuses for him won’t change things, because he’s made sure he’s taken care of.

Democrats end 30-year losing streak in Miami as Trump-backed candidate falls short – Higgins rides affordability push to Miami mayor’s office, backed by national Democratic machine [More]
See, thing is, Higgins wore citizen disarmament on her sleeve, but looking for Gonzalez to fire up the gun vote was an exercise in generalities, saying he was a “strong supporter of the Second Amendment” but going short on specifics, including on his campaign website, where he didn’t think it worth mentioning.
That and the younger generation of Cubans now embrace what their parents and grandparents fled:

I see some “gunfluencers” reveling in how Democrats are imploding and acting like the midterms will be a slam dunk for Republicans. Follow that line of thinking at all our peril, because as things stand now, people putting money on it are betting bigly that the House falls.
It doesn’t matter that the party platform makes no sense and that it’s candidates are subversives, traitors, and flat-out criminals– you can’t talk reason with No Kings ralliers motivated by prejudice, ignorance, and hate, and meanwhile, organizing gun owners is like herding cats.
Misplaced Sympathies?
Gun control laws disproportionately harm minorities, women, and the poor — the people who benefit most from being able to protect themselves. [More]
Oh, you mean the ones who disproportionately vote for citizen disarmament and Marxists, and who, if allowed, will enable tyrants to drag us all down to their level and worse?
As for the “new and improved” 2A civil rights group, how will it differ in reducing bipolarity from the purposely exclusive 2A Task Force? And couldn’t you also make the case that infringements DOJ is still pursuing also disproportionately harm the useful idiots intent on dragging us down?
FOP and IACP Show ‘Only Ones’ Arrogance Opposing Gun Reciprocity for All

And sadly, it’s hardly an unexpected reaction from the FOP and IACP, with long histories of endorsing infringements. [More]
These LEOSA beneficiaries really expect us to “back the blue” after demanding infringements on our right to keep and bear arms?
Interesting (to me, anyway) story on the graphic– within an hour of submitting my draft to Firearms News, I got the above FOP solicitation in the mail. I did a scan and sent it to editor Vince DeNiro, telling him I was going to print out my article after it was posted and return it to them in their envelope, with a few choice words, instead of a donation.
I had no idea he was going to use my scan as the article illustration and literally burst out laughing when I saw he’d used it.
‘Stand Your Ground’ Recalls Nightmare Ordeal After Lawful Self-Defense

We know that something similar to what was forced on him, where we suddenly find ourselves having to defend ourselves against a previously unknown threat, could happen when we least expect it. And we know that police and prosecutors will often be personally and politically incentivized to treat us like criminals, and to interpret events to support their interests rather than ours. [More]
It could happen to you.

If they had their druthers, Democrats wouldn’t let you have ANY defensive tools.

As Sir Wilfrid noted, Amanda, “by her own admission, has already violated so many oaths that I am surprised the Testament did not leap from her hand when she was sworn here today.”

More balking around the edges when the true issue is invalidating NFA and all infringements, which won’t happen unless there’s a credible “or else” backing up the demand.
Debunking Bunkum

Who says I want to escape? [More]
Seems society’s a lot safer than we think, and self-defense is statistically insignificant. You believe that when told by people who’ve been lying and trying to grab your guns for decades, right?
If true, not only should the police disarm (sorry, forgot about those superior “Only Ones” abilities), but their Train Smart program is admittedly putting attendees at risk they knew or should have known they were endangering, and maybe someone who took it and then blows a DGU can sue them.
Speaking of DGUs, even if you accept their calculated low-balling of numbers, 69,000 still exceeds “gun deaths.” Oops.
Funny thing: This “research” isn’t signed. I was hoping the authors could demonstrate some of their claims. I’d volunteer to help.
CONCLUSION: They’d rather see us dead than armed.
Culture Clash
You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue“!

Full Court Press
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted rehearing en banc in Rhode v. Bonta—a case backed by the National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association. [More]
They figure a summoning of all the Nazgûl will overturn the panel, bolster the infringement, and give Democrats a few more years to drag things on until Republicans blow things and SCOTUS can be reformed.
Change my mind.

Arms-Bearing Conduct
If you can do it by yourself you can do it with others. [Watch]
And yeah, the video title is over the top, but hardly surprising considering the source.
Nice to see the militia aspect being promoted by a 2A lawyer as a necessary legal argument — too often it’s overlooked with individual self-defense soaking up all the energy.
I do wonder if states that would go after private “militias” would ignore Everytown’s “Train Smart” for similar activities in the field.

I guess telling people you hate them with a passion isn’t a winning strategy.
