Oversight or Deliberate?

So why isn’t Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears making the Second Amendment an issue in her campaign? [More]

So much for help us help you. Talk about handing NRA an excuse to drag its feet.

My sense is it’s coming from the Virginia GOP. I base that on Youngkin going mum on guns in his campaign, and the way Hung Cao had a chance to show courage again but ran.

Its my belief that party “professionals'” are feeding the campaigns the arrogant old Lee Atwater line, “Who else are they going to vote for?”

That, of course, is exactly the wrong advice when the race is close and you’re trying to light a fire in bellies and get low-propensity gun voters off their @$$es and to the polls. And it makes me wonder if Swamp creatures are trying to lose, and discredit those who identify more with MAGA than with “moderates” as political forces to be reckoned with.

UPDATE

All you can do is try.

Communists Who’d Rather See You Dead Than Armed are At It Again

Governor Walz, DFL Leaders Release Proposal for Special Session on Guns, School Safety [More]

Here’s what they’re going for this time:

a. Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines ban b. Binary trigger ban c. Eliminate the ghost gun loophole d. Strengthen Extreme Risk Protection Orders, including increased funding for public outreach and education e. Expand school safety funding f. Increase funding for mental health treatment g. Strengthen prohibitions against domestic abusers to ensure they do not have access to firearms (HF 391) h. Increase criminal penalties for violent offenses committed with a firearm and increase criminal penalties for impersonating a police officer i. Increase funding to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Team

And no, of course that won’t be all once they get these passed.

Just ask Omar.

And just to drive the point home:

We’re the Only Ones Self-Contradicting Enough

This local news segment is funny because Sheriff Luna ADMITS they have been making people wait too long, while in their official PR statements, they are denying that. [More]

I’d be seeing how it disavows what they’re telling the court and show that to the judge.

The Latest Mood Swing

The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has continued to attack Missouri’s Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), treating it much the same way the Biden administration did. That decision is striking, because it puts Bondi’s DOJ at odds with both the text of the Constitution and President Trump’s own executive order directing agencies to protect Second Amendment rights.

But…but…but…

Perhaps it’s time to update the lithium dosage…

Just Like the Founders Intended

Creates the Responsibility in Firearm Legislation (RIFL) Act. Establishes a firearms manufacturer licensing program in the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, with certain requirements, including that the sum of all fees for firearms manufacturer licenses shall be equal to the public health costs and financial burdens from firearm injuries and deaths. [More]

“Skirt protections,” eh?

There’s nothing “novel’ about being Democrat punks who continue to harass even though they know this spits on the face of the SCOTUS-held text, history, and tradition standard. They know they have unlimited tax plunder resources and can drag private plaintiff efforts and expenses on for years, all with impunity, that is, no personal repercussions.

To them it’s a game of “Gotcha!”

Some of us aren’t playing.

Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Government Bans…

In granting summary judgment in favor of SAF, the court granted both declaratory and injunctive relief, declaring the ban unconstitutional and preventing its enforcement for the plaintiffs, including SAF members. Originally filed in June 2024, the lawsuit challenges the ban on firearms carry in U.S. Post Offices and on postal property. SAF is joined in the case, FPC v. Bondi, by the Firearms Policy Coalition and two private citizens. [More]

So, all of these?

And for all of us or just “plaintiffs, including SAF members”?

Why did “pro-gun” Pam Bondi have to be sued? Why didn’t she stand down, or better, denounce the ban and side with plaintiffs?

And will she appeal?

A Good First Step

Nice to see something some of us have been calling for for almost 25 years — DOJ enforcing the Second Amendment — finally start to move forward. Be nicer to see it being about something more freedom-oriented than permits.

Considering Bruen ‘n all, who thinks those would have been a show-stopper for Tench Coxe…?

Shameless Plug: American Handgunner

I just got my copy of the November/December 2025 issue in the mail, featuring my Gun Rights article, “Is the Second Amendment an Obsolete Relic of Another Time?” on pg. 73.

This is my fourth (and looks like final) column for this magazine since they announced they are discontinuing print editions. As for going forward with a digital publication, so far no one has approached me and I figure right now they’re all scrambling to adjust, adapt, and see what continuation will look like.

You might want to see if you can pick up a copy at your local news stand because the last issue of a magazine that has been published for over half a century might be a collector’s item some day.

Reigning on His Parade

“I lack a proper proofreader,” too. Does that make me an “amateur”? 😊 [More]

Worse than that, my spellcheck is woke.

Typos: We all make ’em (and sometimes intentionally, because in case anyone hasn’t noticed, I love to play with language and my toys, my rules). That said, people chronically not knowing the difference between “you’re” and “your” just seems lazy.

What really irritated me about Nicholas’ post was this:

I encourage whomever reads this, if you agree with anything I wrote, copy and paste it and send it on to any or all of the above, because if we’re to gain any traction here, we need more than a couple voices speaking up.

No one did. None of his X.com recipients responded, and I see a lot of them who get promoted here, yet somehow it never occurs to them to reciprocate.

Add to that most of the comment posters to my articles that he cited were either preoccupied with childish ad hominem attacks or changing the subject from a conversation nobody else was offering to hijacking the thread to talk about stories on all the DSM sites. Yeah, that’ll bring about substantive change.

And the thing is, lifting the needed finger would be as easy as swatting flies.

Really.

If I ever just say “Screw it, I’ve got mine” and go enjoy my dotage in a life of ease, it won’t be because of the antis.

Complaint Filed After DOJ Fails to Respond to Rights Restoration FOIA Request

Why were those 10 citizens chosen? What do they have that “we” don’t? Or more to the point, what do we also have that they do? [More]

Why, when there’s an easy way, does the “pro-gun” DOJ so often choose the hard way?

Welcome to the Party, Pal

Rep Tom Tiffany said, ‘I’ll preserve our Wisconsin values, just like my mom does with her pickles’ [More]

NRA says he’ll preserve more than that:

Let’s hope so. Because retiring Tony Evers was a disaster, as will be whomever the Democrats choose.

If fellow Republican contestant Josh Schoemann has any “proven reforms” on 2A, he doesn’t appear to feel they’re worth mentioning.

Another GOP contender, former Navy SEAL Bill Barrien says he’ll support permitless carry. I do wish though, that he and other gun owners would do away with the “Second Amendment is my permit” meme.

It’s not, never was, and the contention itself is dangerous.

EXCLUSIVE: AGs Knudsen and Labrador Lead 27-State Coalition Urging SCOTUS to Recognize 2A Protections for ‘Plus-Ten Magazines’ [More]

All I can say is SCOTUS had better settle this crap before the Republicans blow it again, because Thomas ain’t gonna be around forever.

COURTROOM AUDIO LIVE: AR & Mag Ban Arguments Reveal How Nefarious These Blue States Actually Are… [Watch]

You don’t need full auto because the government has it? We’re limited to “self-defense”? And only indoors? Anybody see the word “useful” in the Second Amendment…?

Are “average” <3-round limits next?

Everybody’s picking up that it’s “common usage” arguments they’re arguing to impose limits, right?
