That’s presuming they’re just wrong instead of evil.
Grover promotes that kind of $#!+ to wheedle donations from thick-headed “moderates.”
And no, I don’t know how you can read the whole article without signing up. I figure if it’s anything like the title, I’ve seen enough.

The proposed regulation raises the fee for a SAEC and COE Verification check from $1.00 to $5.00…The rulemaking is complete. On May 12, 2025, the Office of Administrative Law approved the regulations and filed them with the Secretary of State. The regulations become effective on July 1, 2025. [More]
They do it because they can.
Guess who won’t pay.

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging Connecticut’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns. [More]
Good– it makes a key undeniable point:
Over 200 colonial and Founding-era militia statutes throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries not only permitted, but affirmatively mandated that persons aged eighteen to twenty acquire and keep arms.
During late debate over budget reconciliation proposals, a coalition of Second Amendment organizations is demanding that short barreled rifles and shotguns, as well as sound suppressors be removed from regulation under the 1934 National Firearms Act. [More]
Good idea. Some questions:
So, why not ask him what he told NRA to get them to mobilize their members on his behalf? [More]
Or to paraphrase Sir Wilfrid in Witness for the Prosecution, “The question is, Mr. Jolly, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?”
What’s to negotiate?
The text of the Second Amendment encompasses the purchase of firearms by 18-to20-year-olds, as the en banc majority below did not dispute, Pet.App.43a–44a, and as the majority was also forced to acknowledge, “the Founding era lacked express prohibitions on the purchase of firearms” by 18-to-20-year-olds. Id. at 30a. Indeed, the eighteenth century laws that come closest to reflecting a “Founding-era policy on age and firearms”—militia laws throughout the Nation obliging eighteen-year-olds to muster for militia service bearing firearms they were legally obligated to acquire for themselves—in fact “reflect the policy that eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds should be armed.” Id. at 159a (Brasher, J., dissenting). That should have been the beginning and the end of any suggestion that Florida’s age ban “is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). [More]

Department of Justice Announces Settlement of Litigation Between the Federal Government and Rare Breed Triggers… The settlement includes agreed-upon conditions that significantly advance public safety with respect to FRTs, including that Rare Breed will not develop or design FRTs for use in any pistol and will enforce its patents to prevent infringement that could threaten public safety. Rare Breed also agrees to promote the safe and responsible use of its products. [More]
It’s a yuge step.
It’s also not “shall not be infringed.”

Hey, if you’re going to commit blood libel, you may as well not know what you’re talking about.
Today, the @HouseGOP passed a bill to REMOVE regulations limiting concealed carry rights for law enforcement officers. Whether on duty or off, these brave men and women always do what’s needed to protect our communities. They’ve earned the right to carry, and we’re making sure they can do so to keep both themselves and our communities safe. [More]
And we saw how many came to our aid after LEOSA passed.
“Earned.” Good grief, Ronny.

Hawaii Congresswoman Jill Tokuda targets illegal firearms with proposed legislation: the Ghost Act…The Ghost Act wouldn’t actually regulate the ghostly parts of weapons being made by 3D printers, those without serial numbers or registration. Instead, it would regulate the upper part of guns, like the barrel. Those parts are now legally bought and sold over the internet. [More]
What, is she trying to out-stupid Mazie?

I wish GOA would use the rhetoric I’m seeing from them here on something much more existential that they have so far been ignoring.

Good, but there are more pressing issues that affect ALL of us.

I said “at this writing” and it wasn’t up when I submitted the article. And DOJ did it before on April 25.
That said, I trust one “tweet” (what do they call them these days?) won’t be it for you? Because I still see nothing on your website under “News,” “Press Releases,” or your blog.
And the three majors are still saying nothing.
I don’t get it with them. Or I do and hope I’m wrong.
