GOP frontrunner in key gubernatorial race forced to answer about hiring illegal immigrants: ‘I don’t know’ [More]

He wants to sign your checks but he doesn’t even know what the one’s he signing are paying for…?

OK, but despite that, says he’s against illegal aliens. How is he on the legal ones?

Georgia GOP Governor Hopeful Owns Company Importing Foreign Nurses Over Americans

Cultural terraforming to the advantage of Democrats, anyone…?

And note he doesn’t even think the Second Amendment is worth mentioning, let alone detailing a plan to defend and advance it.

As Billy Mays would say, “But wait! There’s more!”:

How is this Vichycon the “frontrunner”? Aside from through shady “dark money”?

And in the interests of fairness:

Anybody see 2A being an “issue”? On his campaign website, I mean, not just on social media.

Or know his position on bringing in more “legal” foreign nationals?

Gun Owners Had It in Their Power to Defeat Virginia Redistricting at the Polls

Clearly, had more Republicans and gun owners been engaged and voted, the results – and the resulting dangers they pose in terms of “gun laws,” would have been very different. [More]

If Democrats have their way, “Close, but no cigar” will morph into “Close, but no guns.”

Perpetual Motion

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for summary judgment in Roberts v. ATF, one of the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) three supported lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act’s (NFA) registration requirements for short-barreled firearms and silencers. [More]

I just keep coming back to “shall not be infringed” and wonder what evil madness has gripped what was supposed to be the exemplar of Liberty, and, noticing who’s fighting us on this and where the buck stops, what all those high-sounding promises really meant.

Thou Shalt Not Eat of It

Newly proposed and enacted legislation targeting 3D printers and CNC machines would impose restrictions more severe than those the Supreme Court rejects for actual guns.  In conjunction with restrictions on tools, states would create a category of computer source code illegal to possess. [More]

They literally presume the authority of God.

Pryor Restraint

“Because machine guns are not protected by the Second Amendment as weapons in common use for lawful purposes, we affirm,” wrote Chief U.S. Circuit Judge William Pryor, adding the 11th Circuit joins “several sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of machine guns.” [More]

Don’t believe him? How ’bout the guy you probably voted for three times?

How many more times do I have to say this before someone with a voice in “gun leadership” busy handing out Gundies to each other listens?

Pryor, of course, is a “Republican” appointed by the “Vote Freedom First” President.

A Frostback’s Case for Disarming YOU

In any case, in what follows, I argue (I strongly believe, soundly) that not only (i) owning, carrying, and/or using guns, but also (ii) The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution, and (iii) their necessary consequence, gun violence, are all rationally unjustified and immoral on broadly Kantian ethical grounds, and that therefore, (iv) Gun Abolitionism is rationally justified, morally right, and what we ought to do, by means of (iva) repealing The 2 nd Amendment, and then (ivb) universally banning owning, carrying, and/or using guns. [More]

Thank you! I was afraid not enough gun owners would take this seriously.

Funny, he should represent himself as an ideogical follower of Kant:

Kant called for the gradual abolition of standing armies (professional armies maintained in peacetime) and for their replacement by citizen militias.

What a hoser, eh?

Oh, and look at this:

Just send money. I have to laugh at juxtaposing these “serious” academic citations against the memory of the letter from the dean telling me to shape up or ship out.

‘No More Important Issue to 2A Than Immigrants Voting for Democrats’

Been saying exactly that for years– right down to repeatedly citing that New York Times paragraph, only to be ignored by the gun groups and flat out insulted or just put down by louder voices, none of whom have the integrity to take my challenge and all of whom deflect, run away, and even block when pressed on fights they started.

Once more:

I extend that invitation to the leaders of all the national gun groups, NRA, SAF, GOA, FPC, NAGR, and others. Take the challenge. Otherwise, you’re playing into the hands of the Democrats, and worse, by avoiding and ignoring this, you and they know it.

I’ve been beating this drum– pretty much alone among nationally-published Second Amendment writers– since Examiner.com days, and have been unsuccessful at getting it to be heard outside of my niche within a niche. If it takes a more prominent and accepted voice to get the majors to take notice, so be it.

The Better Choice

Vivek: “The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up”; Casey Putsch is the real deal on guns; and in re Democrat/media/Vichycon Alliance allegations of racism… [More]

The post I’m replying to merits your attention, particularly if you’re an Ohio gun owner only influenced so far by Donald Trump, NRA, and Buckeye Firearms.

On This We Can Agree

Rep. Clyde Leads Coalition Urging Trump to Pick an A-G Who Will ‘Immediately’ Wipe Away Biden Gun Control [More]

Good ideas, especially the part saying ” The DOJ should not be in the business of defending plainly unconstitutional firearms restrictions.”

Too bad we rarely see such leadership when elections aren’t forthcoming, with sustaining momentum afterward for lasting solutions always being the problem.

The We’re Going to Keep Being Communist Traitors Until Somebody Stops Us Act of 2026

Warner and Kaine Introduce Legislation to Safeguard Americans from the Scourge of Gun Violence [More]

Here it is.

2% chance of being enacted — for now.

Don’t worry– Mr. Trump and the Republicans are doing everything in their power to blow their majorities. And when the Democrats finally get the power to ram these into “law,” they’ll be back for more.

No one seriously thinks any of this is about “public safety,” do they?

Nationwide Concealed Carry for ‘Elite’ Veterans Will Create a New Class of ‘Only Ones’

It’s the right of the people, not the right of special operators. [More]

What may at first sound like a good idea is not one the Framers would have approved.

Fight Could Have Been Avoided

DOJ Surrenders its Appeal in Fight Over ATF “Engaged in the Business” Rule… After the enormous pressure brought to bear by gun owners, DOJ is seeking a dismissal allowing the case to return to district court.  [More]

Why was “enormous pressure” needed? What kind of resources had to be expended that now aren’t available to fight other infringements and advance the ball?

Why couldn’t it have been a tick box for the task force?

There I go “blackpilling” again.

What, there’s no room for that in the dialog…?

And what happens after Republicans blow things?

Now Hiring

Although you might not think so, but this is a huge deal, folks. The United States Department of Justice, including the Office of Civil Rights that fights for our right to keep and bear arms just announced that they’re going to start to hire people that do not live inside the beltway. [Watch]

So… they’re going to be employees, beholden to the hand that feeds them…? They’re going to do what they’re told they can do, and no more…? And not be able to share their disagreements if they want to stay on…? Say, will those eligible include lawyers currently suing ATF and DOJ, or would that be a conflict?

Meanwhile, the people whose lives and freedoms are being decided are still locked out, ears pressed against the door…?

While there are multiple options to include them…?

Now, something like that would be a huge deal.
