It’s All Nonsense

Donald Trump Jr. chimes in on New York Democrats weaponizing the government against Dexter Taylor, who was sentenced to ten years in prison for manufacturing his own firearms. [More]

As orgasmic as I see some gun owners getting over this, he really didn’t commit to anything, did he?

Just like I see happy talk over Trump Sr.’s banking comments and cutting security for bureaucrats without him specifically committing to 2A, along with blatant fawning and highlighting promises to sign bills that odds are won’t make it to his desk.

I suggest time would be better spent reminding him of promises he can keep. And I expect that will result in no shortage of angry “Would you rather have Kamala?” backlash.

Trump’s Gun Pledges Forgotten In First Week On The Job

Unprecedented Onslaught of Executive Actions Aimed at Fulfilling Campaign Promises, But Nothing for Guns [More]

He promised ““Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” but since taking office has not done anything about it.

WA Gun Insurance Bill Shows No Depths Are TOO LOW for Gun Hating Democrats

This is all obviously unconstitutional and will never stand up to the text, history, and tradition standards of Bruen… [More]

They’ll keep harassing until they’re made to stop.

Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

Federal Appeals Judge ATTACKS Ninth Circuit for Gaming 2nd Amendment Cases [Watch]

We talked about this butterfly knife/2A case here.

Judge Lawrence VanDyke sounds like a perfect SCOTUS replacement.

Sotomayor ain’t exactly looking peppy these days…

Permit Me?

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and Gun Owners of California (GOC) joined forces with the California Rifle & Pistol Association and the Second Amendment Foundation to achieve a significant victory. Together, they secured an order implementing a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, compelling the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the La Verne Police Department, and state of California to allow their non-resident members to apply for concealed carry permits. [More]

I could have applied before. Will this require them to grant one?

Then again, I got by from 1981 through to 2007 (when we moved) without one, which I admit made things more dangerous since I didn’t dare file a police report…

Talking Out of Both Sides of His Mouth… Again

H-1Bs not just for tech workers but for Maître d’s and waiters? Why not hotel maids, too, and they can all join the Democrat-enabling, communist sympathizing anti-gun SEIU as they fast track on the “pathway to citizenship“?

While everyone is rightfully cheering action at the border and going after dangerous hombres, that doesn’t mean we have to turn a blind eye and give him a pass on being indistinguishable from Grover Norquist and Michael Bloomberg…

All the while giving cover to Democrat education establishment failures.

Would I rather have Kamala? F— any damned brainwashed apologist who would ask that stupid question.

I’d rather have what MAGA believed it was voting for. Anyone who objects is no different from the willfully ignorant sycophants praising the emperor’s new clothes.

And nope. Still nothing on 2A.

Rifling Through a Gun Bill

Gun Owners of America endorsed Representative Tracey Mann’s “Reining In Federal Licensing Enforcement Act” …The RIFLE Act would protect Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) from being forced out of business by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) overreaching directives. [More]

Here’s the bill.

I thought ATF announced they were ending zero tolerance voluntarily, but this would make it mandatory and besides, who believes them?

I don’t see it on GovTrack yet, but they give his recently introduced “H.R. 624: To reform the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives” a “1% chance of being enacted.”

There’s still one question no one evidently thinks we’re ready to ask:

Licensing…?

Docket Teasers

David Snope, et al., Petitioners v. Anthony G. Brown, in His Official Capacity as Attorney General of Maryland, et al… Jan 21 2025 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/24/2025. [More]

Ditto for Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island.

Will they hear either? Can they hear one on semiautos without hearing the other on magazines?

And if we tune in tomorrow, will they again tell us to come back Monday to find out?

Something Else Missing?

The Constitution page on President Donald Trump’s White House website is showing a 404 error. [More]

I dunno, The Hill and MSNBC may just be playing “Gotcha” here and this is something that’ll come after immediate action priorities are taken care of. Speaking of which… You can’t deny the guy has been busy these first few days and my Firearms News editor has invited me to comment on the lack of 2A mention. I said let’s give it his first week.

When the WH site does put up a Constitution page, let’s hope they get it right this time.

Bottom Line Republicans Didn’t Question Bondi on Her Anti-Gun Positions

How she ultimately conducts herself, despite her assurances to the Committee about resisting undue pressures from the White House, will reflect squarely on Donald Trump. He nominated her with full knowledge that her past actions rendered her unacceptable to many Second Amendment advocates counting on him to honor his campaign promises. [More]

So, it’s Bondi’s job as AG is to defend the law, regardless…? The Second Amendment is part of “the supreme Law of the Land.”

No Reason We Can’t Have Both

Well, there is ONE reason: Democrats.

I should have said no Constitutionally valid reason.

Doing the Jobs Democrats Won’t Do

DOJ to Investigate State, Local Officials Who Block Immigration Enforcement – “…identify state and local laws, policies, and activities that are inconsistent with Executive Branch immigration initiatives, and, where appropriate, to take legal action to challenge the laws.” [More]

Gee, I wonder if there are any other areas of law where DOJ could help protect against state abuses…

Original Intent

There is a case now being litigated in front of the United States Supreme Court brought by the same lawyers and organization that represented none other than Michael Cargill in the Cargill case dealing with the bumpstock, a big victory for the2 Second Amendment over the ATF there, but this case involves the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial but it’s just as important to win as many other cases involving the Supreme Court and the Constitution [Watch]

If we start applying the unambiguous language understood by the Founders the house of cards will collapse, and that scares the hell out of the controllers.
