Guest Privileges Exchanged

Pennsylvania and Virginia Sign Mutual Concealed Carry Reciprocity Agreement [More]

I get what the “legal” advantages are from “permits,” but I can’t help conjuring up the image of a slave bragging “Look what fine chains my master gave me to wear!”

Sorry, not sorry to all the apologists painting this as a “huge win!!!”

New Jersey Governor’s Race Gives Gun Owners a Choice

Being one of the worst states in the union for eviscerating the Second Amendment, there’s much to be said on having the ear of a governor with veto power. [More]

True, hardly a perfect one. Still, the differences between the two are many, and this is New Jersey, after all.

I Got Them SAPA Blues?

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]

So, did Hacchim, Yaakov, Michael, and Jeffrey not get the memo?

Or does acknowledgment that “the United States will not oppose when this case returns to district court” mean they don’t want to cede procedural precedent, but they’re going to stop fighting to force cooperation with infringements?

Who’s qualified to weigh in and explain?

Kick the Can

SCOTUS Fails Americans Again, Kicking Gun Rights Further Down the Road [More]

Nothing like emboldening gun-grabbers and eroding respect for law…

And speaking of Firearms News articles, the June 2025 issue (pictured above) with three of my articles (“Supreme Court Avoids New York Second Amendment Infringements” (p. 10), “A Tale of Two Revolutions” (p.12), and “ATF and DOJ Continue Abuses While Being Bipolar on Guns” (p. 14), is now on display at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic. (Or you could save money over single issue prices and subscribe.)

Once More Unto the Breach

Mexican President Says No Backing Down from Suing U.S. Gun Industry [More]

What, we expect them to heed our laws and Supreme Court rulings?

Did someone say “Tax remittances“…?

Sometimes, the only way to deal with a yapping Chihuahua is to make sure it understands who the Alpha is.

In the Next World You’re on Your Own

A Rooftop Korean Reacted to the Anti-ICE Riots in LA [More]

Do those calling for them think they’re going to save anyone but themselves? Do they think they’ll have time to catch up to speed after the party starts?

Besides, publicized outliers notwithstanding, 67% of Koreans “identify as Democrats or lean Democratic,” meaning the majority have been incentivized to buy into the agenda.

Like the Firesign Theater album title says…

Hush, Hush

Ohio House Bill 331 and Ohio Senate Bill 214 propose revisions to the Ohio Revised Code, eliminating suppressors and mufflers from the definition of dangerous ordnance and removing language that mandates suppressor registration under the NFA. [More]

I guess it doesn’t hurt to build redundancy into a system.

I’m just the type who thinks “shall not be infringed’ oughta cover everything, in Everytown…

At Least Their Consistency is Inconsistent

We hold that § 5-133(b)(2) is, in substance, a law prohibiting the possession of firearms by felons and, as such, is consistent with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. [More]

Then they should have no problem coming up with an upheld parallel from the time of ratification. Either that or they’re just robed frauds.

And it doesn’t change a basic truth, does it?

Democrats Triggered

Blue States Sue ATF and National Association for Gun Rights – 16 Anti-gun Attorneys General seek to block agreement to return Illegally seized triggers [More]

It will be interesting to see if competitor rice bowl groups put their historic hostility to NAGR to the side and support them in this.

Get yours while supplies last!

An Age-Old Question

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), joined by New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate (NJFOS), have filed a lawsuit in district court challenging New Jersey’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns and handgun ammunition. [More]

Y’know, if Bondi’s 2A Task Force included gun owner representation, they’d be able to advise Justice on how best to support this.

What They Mean by ‘Commonsense Gun Safety Laws’

The Exigency for Stricter Gun Control Legislation in the United States of America: Why the Constitution’s Second Amendment Provision for the “Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms” is Obsolete in our Contemporary Society [More]

I trust no one here is surprised…?

Train of Thought

Smith doesn’t expect a win at this stage. With a panel of judges appointed by Reagan, Trump, and Biden—but leaning against gun rights—he predicts the court may rule against plaintiffs either on standing or the merits. But that just sets the stage for a bigger battle ahead—potentially at the Supreme Court. [More]

Oh, well then, victory is assured with those eager beavers!

Casus Belli

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome [sic] doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it against the direct wishes of the governor [More]

Ah, yes, a true champion of the Second Amendment…

Just make sure you guys don’t shoot yourselves.

Bloomberg Funded Site Argues Gun Control Part of 2nd Amendment History and Tradition

Unable to refute reality, what’s a gun prohibitionist to do but try and confuse the issue? [More]

So what if the Founders never envisioned the “boyfriend loophole”? If you can have a “living Constitution,” why not a “living Second Amendment.”

The Long and Short of It

NRA-ILA Petitions the U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to NFA Restrictions on Short-Barreled Rifles [More]

Pretty long on “common use” popularity and pretty short on core purpose except to address militia controls, as opposed to militia necessity.

Now all SCOTUS has to do is… nothing.
