TELL PRESIDENT TRUMP: PARDON TATE ADAMIAK! [More]
You can call or do what I do to ask others to join in.
And point of order, I think an acknowledgment link for the work most responsible for bringing this to our attention would have been appropriate.

We’re the Only Ones Unoffended Enough
Cekada promised neither he nor the ATF will be “offended by the outcome of the courts,” because he wants to make sure that Adamiak was “appropriately sentenced.” [More]
That’s mighty big of him. Told ya the guy was our BFF!

Seeing as how his stance on guns is marginally better than the ever-useless Susan Collins’, I hope he wins.

About That ‘New’ NRA…
URGENT ACTION ALERT: BETRAYAL IN CONCORD – YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING SOLD OUT BY THE SENATE AND WEAK-KNEED “PRO-GUN” REPUBLICANS… with the apparent blessing and consent of the NRA’s own State Director Joe LoPorto … this is exactly what happens when the NRA inflates grades for “pro-gun” politicians who talk tough but fold when it counts. [More]
Looks a lot like the old one to me…
Any “Reform Candidates” care to speak up?
Jersey Devil
The Office of New Jersey Attorney General Davenport has sent subpoenas to New Jersey federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) demanding detailed records pertaining to sales of Glock firearms from January 2016 until June 15, 2026, News2A recently learned. The action, which is related to the December 2024 lawsuit brought against Glock called Davenport v. Glock (formerly Platkin v. Glock), could create a public record doxing New Jersey gun owners who have purchased Glock pistols, along with personally identifiable information… “This is a logistical nightmare. It could take some people years to comply with this,” one New Jersey FFL owner told News2A. [More]
So, have any prominent FFLs pledged to refuse to comply and not give up names?
Would you submit to this?

Keepin’ It Real
Today, Congressman Jimmy Patronis (R-FL) introduced the Firearm Freedom Act, legislation to eliminate the 1986 Hughes Amendment, which banned the purchase, ownership, and transfer of machine guns and limited Americans’ Second Amendment rights. This is the first time legislation has been introduced to fully repeal the provision. [More]
1% chance of being enacted
Jimmy knows that.
At least it’s more hopeful than the Freedom from Taxes Act.

A Line in the Sand
Marine vet prosecutor refuses to cross constitutional line on Spanberger ‘assault weapon’ ban – Commonwealth Attorney Ryan Mehaffey said the new Virginia gun ban ‘is striking at the core of the militia system’ [More]
What’s a Law repugnant to the Constitution, again…?
No Ted Olson, he…
This is a major beef I have with apologists for the administration making excuses that they have to defend the law. No, they don’t.
Now all we need is an actual militia system with a core. Anybody see any bills proposing that?
If more took this stand it would galvanize and spread.
House of Cards
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 1. The Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Act (“FOID Card Act”), 430 ILCS 65/0.01 et seq., entirely deprives everyone of the right to keep and bear arms— including the basic right to possess a firearm for self-defense in the home—unless and until they seek and receive the State’s permission. 2. To possess any type of firearm or ammunition in Illinois—anywhere, for any length of time—one must first obtain a Firearm Owners Identification (“FOID”) card from the Illinois State Police. This requires one to initiate and prevail in an administrative proceeding—in which the burden of proof is on the individual at every step, and which may take 30 days, 90 days, or even longer. Any violation of this requirement is a crime. [More]
Just like the Framers intended when they penned “shall not be infringed,” no doubt.
Washington Gun Law analyzes the complaint.

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.

Collateral Damage
The governor’s acknowledgment that the law covers common hunting models will likely be cited in Second Amendment challenges. If the law is not amended, she could prove the main witness against her own signed legislation. [More]
Yeah, I know… any chair in a bar fight.
Thing is, 2A isn’t about hunting and “common use” will come back to bite us.
So will special exemptions for Fudds.

‘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…

It’s ‘Gun Rights Leader’-Approved!
A Florida gun owner says he spent two weeks in jail because the government’s background-check machinery treated an old Kentucky misdemeanor as if it were a felony. [More]
NICS… isn’t that the prior restraint infringement hailed by NSSF as a “real solution,” and “applauded” by NRA…?
