Notes from the Resistance
The Commission should support this effort by rooting out and helping to remedy any activities by the Biden-era FTC that may have improperly aligned the agency with anti-Second Amendment non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”) or otherwise infringed upon Second Amendment rights. [More]
I’m all over Larry Keane and NSSF when they suck up to tyranny, so I gotta give them credit when they do good.
The FTC commissioners are all Republicans, so there’s no excuse for them not taking a leadership position in protecting firearms commerce.
So why haven’t they already declared new policy? Why do they have to be publicly prodded?

UPDATE
By all means, educate me on their leadership:
It shouldn’t be this hard to find.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is kicking off the new school year with safety as its top priority and a new layer of security. The school district announced that it will begin implementing its weapon detection screening program at school board regular business meetings. [More]
Because nothing says “safe spaces” like a “gun-free zone”!
And if an armed maniac decides to go through the detectors guns blazing…?
No comment from the Lairds…?

Did anybody really believe vengeful totalitarians would stop at the Second Amendment?
Tangentially related, now that he’s self-destructed, is it OK to call Robert Westman by his “deadname”?
Dismissing valid arguments by calling their proponent “racist” is a tactic of the left. [More]
In this bizarre and deeply flawed decision, the Court effectively said governments could ban every handgun make and model but one. [More]
And the cowards in the Senate approved Obama appointee Denise Jefferson Casper of Massachusetts by a voice vote.

Second Amendment – I am the most Pro-Gun candidate in history. – When the left comes for your guns, they’re really coming for your children’s future. – The 2nd Amendment is there, to always protect the First. [More]
As I’ve acknowledged before to those who deny my immigration stance without taking my challenge:
Of course, there are good immigrants and they don’t all lean Democrat. Hell, there are some great immigrants, people I strive to be worthy of knowing. There just aren’t enough of them overall to offset the tide of Third World huddled masses yearning to breathe free stuff. That’s because the vote-exploiting Democrats and labor-exploiting Republicans have not made the ability to assimilate to a Bill of Rights culture a priority. They haven’t even made it a consideration. And if you tried to make Constitutionally-compatible ideology a precondition to admittance, an activist federal judge would loudly strike it down — even though any government action that does not “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” would rightfully and clearly be condemned by the Founders as illegitimate.
Valentian Gomez appears to be one of those to be embraced.

Another Mass Shooting in a ‘Gun-Free Zone’ – The Minneapolis killer made the point in his manifesto. The media insist on ignoring it. [More]
Dr. John Lott and Rep. Thomas Massie acknowledge a reality that blood-dancing Democrats don’t want Americans to be exposed to.
What’s the big deal? He’s only saying what the prohibitionists used to say before they started masking their intent behind bromides like “commonsense gun safety.”
It’s always been about taking the guns.

Because the Second Amendment obviously wasn’t meant to protect “weapons of war,” right?
What self-serving weasels. Who do they think they are? Bill Ruger?
First they came for the MCDs… Do these quislings really think Polyphemus will eat them last?
As for David Hardin, on the plus side he co-sponsored an NRA/ORA Day resolution.
You know about ORA, right? The grassroots “gun rights leaders” who opposed permitless carry without background checks and training…?
With friends like these…
Crime is down and the enemy is furious. What’s not to like? At the risk of infuriating MAGA loyalists, in a word, infringements. [More]
Which plan will you go with? Help the administration see where it’s going off the rails and needs a course correction, or kill the messenger?
AI Overview: Reports and analysis from legal observers and gun rights advocates indicate that the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) 2025 shift on firearm suppressors was a strategic legal maneuver. By conceding that suppressors are a form of “arm” under the Second Amendment, the DOJ laid the groundwork to defend the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax and registration scheme against legal challenges.

The “gun groups” obviously don’t care about this, so I don’t know why I should.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said groups challenging a 2013 law banning assault weapons and a second gun control law enacted a decade later could not show that the guns they are still able to possess, including several semi-automatic handguns, are not sufficient for self-defense purposes. [More]
And no, I don’t think they’re embarrassed at all. I think they’re in-our-face about it.

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review in Viramontes v. Cook County, SAF’s challenge to the Cook County, Ill., ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
I was happy to see that it did not neglect to include:
The text of the Second Amendment itself proclaims that one of its purposes was to preserve the “militia” and, to state the obvious, the militia did not exist solely to promote individual self-defense but rather was “useful in repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections,” “render[ed] large standing armies unnecessary,” and enabled the people to be “better able to resist tyranny”. Indeed, to the extent there is a historical tradition with respect to “military” arms, it is to afford them especially strong protection.

Rob Sand is a gun-toting Christian from rural Iowa who goes deer hunting, drives a white Ford F-150 pickup, and opens speeches by quoting the Bible. He is also a rising Democratic star whose run for governor is spooking Republicans in the ruby red state. [More]
Here he is congratulating a doctrinaire gun-grabber on her win.

How the NYPD, Manhattan DA are fighting radical online ghost gun manufacturers [P. 14]
I like the old one just fine, thank you.
You know, the one where the Framers envisioned guns without serial numbers for everyone…
Didn’t they even include a Preamble to the Bill of Rights to explain why, that is, “in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of … powers”?
Ol’ Deputy Chief Nilan certainly looks the part.
(4) acknowledges that States with strong gun laws are endangered by States with weak gun laws, and that the trafficking of firearms across State lines puts the safety of all Americans at risk; and (5) acknowledges that Congress has a duty to pass comprehensive Federal gun safety legislation in order to prevent future tragedies and address the epidemic of gun violence in the country.

New York citizen disarmament for everybody! By bagel brains, of course.
What can I say besides Jerry Nadler, Dan Goldman, and Democrats?
They, of course, know this only has a “7% chance of being agreed to“– for now. Let the Republicans blow it and the Dems regain majorities and this will only be a “good first step.”
