A Mixed Bag

Among changes expected to be forwarded by the administration in 2026 include proposals to ease private gun sales, ship firearms interstate via mail, export firearms overseas, trim fees for licensed retailers, and simplify the 4473 Form required when purchasing a firearm, including requiring applicants list their biological sex at birth. [More]

It ain’t all winning.

License fees and prior restraint applications the Founders could do without, and and as for the sex identifier, if DOJ/ATF were compliant with Trump’s EO, they’d have already gotten rid of “non-binary.”

Silent Running

Attorneys for George Peterson have filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court in Peterson v. United States, a Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC)-backed challenge to the federal government’s unconstitutional National Firearms Act (NFA) tax and registration requirements for suppressors. [More]

Now all SCOTUS has to do to let bad law stand is…nothing.

We’re the Only Ones Big Enough

Gov. Mark Gordon on Tuesday vetoed a bill geared toward penalizing Wyoming police agencies that help with federal gun enforcement initiatives or hire former federal agents involved in such operations. President Donald Trump’s administration supports this veto, Gordon wrote in a Tuesday statement. [More]

Time to Put Up

It is definitely time for ATF new leadership to take responsibility for Adamiak’s false arrest, fictitious prosecution and undeserved incarceration. [More]

After all, Cekada IS “the first ever truly pro-Second Amendment nominee to head the agency.” Our “gun rights leaders have told us so!

Wait… they’re suing “this Department of Justice [will] use its full might to protect the Second Amendment” Pam Bondi, appointed by “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president” Donald Trump…?

Hey, they’re just following orders. If you don’t like the law, vote to change it. That’s what they told Rosa Parks, isn’t it?

Right, Blue State gun owners?

Taking the Guns First…

But…but…but Amy Swearer…

Y’ever get the feeling the Judas Goats might be leading the herd, and no-compromisers like NAGR are the ones we should have been following…?

Gun Groups Failing Members by Ignoring Immigration Threat

With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]

There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?

In the Spirit of Aloha

A new major federal court case has just been commenced in the US District Court of Hawaii challenging the state’s ban on non-residents being able to carry handguns in the state for self defense purposes… Alan Beck has set forth an impressive set of 35 pages of historical material that arguably can give rise to… a constitutional right to conceal carry nationwide.

In a just world, text, history, and tradition trump Kapu tradition.

We’re the Only Ones Oppositional Enough

Gov. Gordon didn’t mince words when discussing the Second Amendment Protection Act. He called it an “embarrassment,” noting all 23 sheriffs in Wyoming oppose it. The bill currently sits on the governor’s desk. He vetoed a similar bill last year. [More]

Here ’tis.

So, “law and order Republicans” can be every bit the impediment Marxist Democrats can be…? Who knew?

And yeah, I understand the name “Dorr” evokes certain … expectations.

Prognosis
3% chance of being enacted

Rep. Thomas Massie addressed that and more when he introduced a House version (HR9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act) in 2024. Going back to that article reminded me that NRA downgraded him for voting against industry-approved gun control.

You Can Stop Holding Your Breath Now

In a move that has triggered debate among gun rights advocates and lawmakers, West Virginia Senate Bill 1071, commonly referred to as the “Machine Gun Bill,” will not proceed in the current legislative session. Senate President Randy Smith (R-Preston) announced his decision to block the bill, citing what he calls significant legal and drafting issues rather than any opposition to Second Amendment rights. [More]

Yeah, “shall not be infringed” opens itself up to all kinds of interpretations and procedural snags.

DeStefano Fundraiser Addresses Donation Integrity Concerns

DeStefano has refused to turn over customer lists, and thus has been singled out for total destruction as an example to any who might defy the orders of the violence monopolists. [More]

He could minimize his ordeal tremendously if he would just give up customer names. But he won’t. So Letitia James is going to make an example of him.

Speaking of Critical Infrastructure…

The Post has sought comment from Beretta and Ruger. [More]

Now seek one from NSSF and NRA, and ask them to articulate their positions on this and ask if they see any potential Second Amendment concerns legislation could be needed to address.
