No Country for Old Men
The entire State of Missouri can rest much easier now. The ATF has made the Show-Me State a much safer place. Two rule breakers from small Missouri towns were indicted by a federal grand jury last week. Their crimes? They’re accused of selling guns without a federal license. Their ages? One was 75 and the other was 81 years old. [More]
As long as infringements are enforced, it’s no country for citizens of any age.
So much for the “Second Amendment Task Force“…

Supreme Court Watch
We’re awaiting word on Snope/Ocean State tactical, and if SCOTUS is going to make a decisoin or once more kick the can down the road. Meanwhile, here are some sobering thoughts:
This is especially frustrating to watch after feeling like I’m the lone voice in the wilderness warning that relying solely on “self defense” while ignoring the militia aspect makes 2A more vulnerable to infringements, and how putting all faith in the “in common use at the time” argument can be a trap.

We’re the Only Ones Only Enough
As Missouri Republicans push a new version of the Second Amendment Preservation Act through the legislature, law enforcement officials in the state say lawmakers and supporters of the bill are ignoring their concerns…“I think it’s anti-law enforcement,” said Ellisville Police Chief Steve Lewis. “It’s bad legislation for law enforcement in that we believe it restricts law enforcement’s ability to assist federal task force partners with the seizure of weapons from bad people.” [More]
Back the Oathbreakers? Whatever, Porky.

Speaking of Inclusiveness…
President Donald Trump announced that conservative commentator Mark Levin, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters and former NYPD detective Bo Dietl will serve on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. [More]
So, why can’t he do one for the Second Amendment?

Kristol Attack on ‘Trumpism’ is Ultimately Self-Defeating for His Useful Idiot Followers
While anyone dumb enough to believe in and follow his Democrat operative noisemaking can certainly be described by the old Soviet pejorative “useful idiot,” the term “Judas goat” seems more appropriate for him. [More]

The Department of Justice has filed a motion to dismiss a case against Taylor Taranto for violations of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). [More]
If they’d include us in the strategizing, they wouldn’t keep stirring up resentment and need to issuing embarrassing public reversals after cluelessly provoking outrage.

The Due Process Loophole
We’re the Only Ones Illegal Enough
“It literally turns dreamers into defenders,” said Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller [More]
In other words, illegal foreign nationals will be officially empowered to disarm citizens on American soil. All in the name of addressing crime committed by illegal foreign nationals.
Who needs blue helmets, right, Tim?

Supreme Court Avoids New York Second Amendment Infringements
This ensures gun rights will continue to be denied [More]
There are plenty making excuses, but it doesn’t change the fact that they know what Founding intent was, and a right delayed is a right denied.
BLOOD IN THE STREETS! DODGE CITY OVER FENDER BENDERS!
Task Force’s Exclusion of Gun Owner Advocates Means Continuing DOJ Disappointments
Gun rights leaders and legal scholars could be identified and nominated to analyze and prioritize bills, lawsuits, regulations, opportunities, and threats, to advise on judicial and other federal nominees, and to help educate the public. [More]
Leaving the people most affected out of the discussion means they’ll end up being told instead of asked. Or as one comment poster notes, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”
It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringed’ Is
HB 1163 – 2025-26 Enhancing requirements relating to the purchase, transfer, and possession of firearms… Third reading, passed; yeas, 29; nays, 19; absent, 0; excused, 1. [More]
It’ll be signed. Then it’s on gun owners paying to have their rights infringed to come up with more money to fight it in courts for years.

Trump is Even Touching Hollywood [More]
Why is it the only question I can think to ask is “spits or swallows”?
When Mel Gibson was asked about 2A, he hemmed and hawed and called it “prickly.” Stallone at least took an unequivocal stance, declaring ““Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have.”
TIS is possibly even more destructive than TDS because it rationalizes, gives a pass on betrayals, divides, and impedes. It’s our duty to call out, condemn and defy opportunistic political duplicity. Otherwise, we get more.
Admiring the emperor’s new clothes when they’re nonexistent is delusional. The only way we win is with the truth, and if that means letting Professor Harold Hill know we’re on to him and he’d better deliver on the instruments and band uniforms he sold us on, so be it.
By all means, praise and defend him when he does right. Just don’t be afraid to point out when he does wrong, especially because see-no-evil gun owners might get mad at you.
