I have two articles in the March issue of Firearms News, one on Maryland’s harassment of a vet and another on a new ATF report with the same old gun grab goals, now available at newsstands throughout the Republic.

The NeverEnding Story
Tomorrow the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear three anti-rights bills … They will outlaw all privately manufactured firearms, eliminate gun and hunting rights for anyone under 21, and render CHL’s useless by declaring vast undefined areas of Oregon off limits to licensed carry. [More]
And the day after tomorrow they’ll be back for more!
Two Down, Eight to Go
A Silver Lining
Unreleased transcripts from Uvalde show police waited to breach the classroom because the killer had a combat rifle that could penetrate their armor. They we too scared. We are a nation that allows anyone to buy a rifle that can massacre children while keeping the police at bay. [More]

The Danger List
“Californians have the constitutional right to acquire and use state-of-the-art handguns to protect themselves,” he wrote. “They should not be forced to settle for decade-old models of handguns to ensure that they remain safe inside or outside the home.” [More]
But Rob Bonta says it’s still going to be enforced for two weeks until the injunction goes into effect.
You gotta wonder at what point these tyrants can be shown to be premeditatedly abusing the powers of their offices to discriminate against citizens’ rights and be held criminally accountable.

‘Questionable’ is Being Polite
The Way Things Oughta Be
Thousands of militiamen from around New England left their farms, descended on Boston and launched an 11-month siege of their own port city. [More]
I wonder how many “laws” they’d be breaking if they tried that today.

Feds Say Wyoming Man Has No Right To Make His Own Machine Gun [More]
What else would we expect oath-breaking violence monopolist totalitarians to say?
Funny, how few “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” in Congress have ever tried to do anything about that when their party held the majority…

Reasoning with the Unreasonable
Loss Not a Lawfare License
All Over But the Filing?
“The President can’t rewrite laws. This is yet another executive order from the most anti-gun administration in history designed to circumvent the legislative process. I am reviewing the executive order and will closely monitor the federal government’s implementation of it. If it violates Americans’ rights, I will file a lawsuit.” [More]
So I take that as a “Definitely”…?

Gulags for Gun Owners
THIS BILL COULD PUT YOU IN PRISON [More]
If you think about it, they all could.
It’s an old Stalinist strategy his ideological heirs intend to apply with full force.
UPDATE
And to channel my inner ShamWow pitchman, “But wait! There’s MORE!“
As Long as It Can’t Happen…
Senate Republicans introduce bill codifying right to bear arms ‘outside your home’ [More]
Which Lindsey knows doesn’t stand a chance in hell with a Dem majority and Biden in the White House. So why do this now? Maybe to distract from another betrayal?
The obvious Republican pandering to Pavlovian response gun owners is only one reason this caught my attention. The other is this, in comments:
Unclear on the concept, are we, fellas? That and the “enforce existing gun laws” faction…
Two Steps Forward
Grass Roots North Carolina won a major legislative victory today, as Senate Bill 41 – including both the church carry and pistol purchase permit repeal – passed in the NC House by a veto-proof majority. The bill now goes to the anti-gun Governor Roy Cooper, who will likely veto the bill within the 10 days allotted. [More]
It’ll be interesting to see how he spins opposing the representatives of the people.
Baby Needs a New Pair of Jackboots
Biden’s budget proposal contains $1.9 billion for the ATF. This is a 13.6 percent increase over 2022 and half a billion dollars more than the agency’s fiscal 2020 budget. If passed as written, Biden’s budget would expand the ATF by 35.7 percent—an overall growth of more than 50 percent since the Obama administration. [More]
Don’t your oppressors deserve the very best?

Lawmaker’s ‘Common Sense Gun Reforms’ are Both Senseless and Deceptive
She’s established up front she has power. She spends the rest of her screed demonstrating she does not have the wisdom or integrity to wield it responsibly. [More]
Brought to you by stupid voters engaged in chronic citizenship malpractice…
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.

Including enhanced background checks? Like the kind that Hunter lied on?
Have you thanked all the “Republicans” who helped make this possible yet?
An Age-Old Question
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging the prohibition of handgun sales to young adults have filed an appellant’s brief with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The case is known as Reese v. ATF. [More]
I dunno… let ’em have guns and pretty soon they could be winning medals…
