Brace Yourselves

In a blunt court filing from Monday, March 16, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) urged a federal judge to dismiss a high-profile challenge to its now-defunct pistol stabilizing brace rule, arguing the case has become completely moot. At the same time, the agency made clear it has no intention of abandoning enforcement against certain braced pistols under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA). [More]

See, when Pam says “full might,” she also means “full might not.”

Stopping the Signal

That’s gotta be a First Amendment “right to petition” violation. Not that their minds aren’t already made up and the hearings aren’t anything but theatrics to make it look like they’re responsibly deliberating.

I wonder if Harmeet would agree…

Bissful Ignorance

Establishment Democrats fend off far-left influencer…Kat Abughazaleh… She lost to Daniel Biss, the mayor of Everston, Ill., and a former state lawmaker. [More]

So, someone who is running on a platform to “Repeal the Second Amendment” is considered an “establishment Democrat” and representative of what Everytown/Moms Demand consider “commonsense gun safety laws?”

Told ya.

He’s doing the Safety Dance.

There’s no giving an inch to these lying tyrant wannabes. You’d think NRA’s “A+ rated and endorsed” rated John Cornyn would understand that.

And if we’re to believe some of our more popular “gun rights authorities,” me suggesting that importing such people will have an impact on government recognition of our rights, and that ought ot be factored into the Cornyn/Paxton equation, would be”both bigoted and wildly unpopular. Some real loser shit.”

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]

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?

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.

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?

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.

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