Speaking of Racial Disenfranchisement…

His research indicates that an overwhelming majority of initial denials, approximately 99%, are errors, disproportionately affecting Hispanic and Black males due to phonetic similarities in names within racial groups. [More]

Yes, we get it. We’ve gotten it for a long time. Gun control is racist.

So, when are self-annointed “black leaders” going to stop being self-serving sellouts to the Democrat machine, and when will its patronizing white politicians, “authorized journalists,” and assorted prohibitionists start being condemned for the insufferable bigots that they are?

ATF to Big Brother: Hold Our Beer

Did you know that every time you search for guns or ammo online, someone’s watching? Well you probably already know, but if you think it’s just the algorithms that feed you ads, think again—the ATF is also watching your searches. Worse, they use your digital activity to shape bans and enforcement actions. And no, we’re not fear mongering here. Published reports confirm that your searches are being tracked, analyzed, and even used to forecast so-called “threats.” [Watch]

The question then becomes what do Donald Trump and whomever he appoints to head the Bureau intend to do about this?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

TSA Facial Recognition Scanning Spreading, Part of Planned ‘Across The Board’ Biometric Future [More]

Get your own SKU/QR code!

And just imagine the AI-enhanced deep fake/identity theft opportunities for hackers and those let into the system with bribes!

The ultimate goal, of course, isn’t just to categorize travelers. How many millions of unvetted illegal immigrants are occupying territory in this country again who won’t be affected one bit…?

Blast from the Past Part II

We talked a few month back about  George Gramlich, Editor of the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel sending me one of the few remaining signed magazines from Mike Vanderboegh’s smuggling exploits. [More]

I wasn’t sure how I was going to preserve it and decided over the weekend to put it in a hangable shadow box along with a sample of Threeperware from years gone by.

Arts and crafts were never my strong suit, but I like what I put together just fine:

I’ll get an engraving plate to affix to the bottom to read “Defy. Resist. Evade. Smuggle.” and my project will be complete.

I think my friend would have gotten a kick out of this, and I found the perfect place to hang it.

Gun Talk Radio

I’ll be joining in for a bit at around 4:00pm Eastern.

Listen here.

Food Fight

A Pennsylvania man convicted of food stamp fraud cannot be barred under federal law from possessing a gun, a U.S. appeals court held for a second time, declining to change its conclusion in light of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that clarified the standard for when a firearms regulation can pass constitutional muster. [More]

I’m thinking over how I’d feel about a lifetime ban for those who imposed one on Bryan Range… or better, add “political power” to the law…

Raid on Innocent Family Shows ATF Tyranny Must Be a Priority for Trump

This is where citizens could really use some of those pledges of Second Amendment protection we heard along the campaign trail from Donald Trump, and from every Republican in Congress who won their seat because of gun owner support. [More]

The new administration, through orders to subordinates, and the Republican-controlled Congress, with the power to subpoena and investigate, could do much to stop citizen abuse — if they want to.

ATF Director Under Trump Will Still Be Directing Unconstitutional Agency

The new guy needs to understand all this and have the AG and the president‘s ear to make sure they do, and to restrain their past-demonstrated impulses to ignore the words “shall not be infringed.” [More]

My latest Firearms News article assesses the best we can make out of a no-win scenario.

With ‘Republicans’ Like These, Who Needs Democrats?

Rep. Rich Lascelles (R-Litchfield), who we’ve trusted to stand with us, has co-sponsored this bill. Imagine the shock and betrayal – a representative who should be our advocate in the legislature is instead supporting legislation that could lead to the unjust confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens. This isn’t just about policy; it’s about the very principles of freedom and justice our nation was built upon. [More]

He doesn’t seem to be on X.com or Facebook to ratio his idiotic treachery, so if you want to tell him what you think about this, you’ll need to mail, email, or call him.

UPDATE: Looks like he pulled it before I posted this. Somebody talk to this guy and explain how things work.

Disgruntled Terminated Employees Biden and Garland Go Postal

INSANE: BIDEN DOJ MAKES CRAZY ARGUMENTS TO DEFEND POST OFFICE GUN BAN [Watch]

Among other things, like disinformation and actual fascism, we talked about the Statute of Northampton here.

Boy, that’s a lot of “Gun-Free Zones”! Now superimpose it over maps of schools, parks, government buildings, “sensitive areas”…

Welcome to the Land of the Second Amendment!

We’re the Only Ones Timely Enough

“We have a lot of things that are legal, but is it the right thing to do? We have to rise above that. And sometimes it requires an evolution of our thinking. What was written in 1789 may not be appropriate for 2022 unless we’re okay with kids being killed.” [More]

So, after Obama’s “What works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne” pronouncement, the totalitarians now claim control of all space-time. As if it works in Chicago…

Still, I have some questions for this jackass:

And to those who feel this is too dangerous, that it is uncalled for, that it is unneeded because we have the vote, or the right to speak, that we have evolved beyond such crude reminders of our barbaric past, I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

This badged stooge will work out great in Seattle.

An ‘A’ in My Book

Kansas gets an F in gun legislation, national report says [More]

So, how many of the killers of those 500 people were inclined to obey existing laws, and which proposed new ones would have made them reconsider?

What a fraudulent scam every single damn one of these treasonous gun grab groups is. So nice one-sided PR piece masked as “news,” Kansas Reflector…

We really don’t…

The Eye of the Beholder

A coalition of gun-rights groups is arguing that a federal appeals court should overturn a conviction of a Billings man who appeared to be menacing an elementary school from across the street as he walked around his property, often with gun in hand. [More]

“Appeared to be” is very different from “was,” and the case could be made that hoplophobic snitches should not be the arbiters.

Once this is over, it would be interesting to see everything it took to get ATF’s Dustin Stroble to insert his snout into this. It appears Metcalf initiating contact with the FBI broke a cardinal rule.

We’ll Tell You What Your Rights Are

In 2025, several new gun laws will go into effect in California. [More]

More attacks on RKBA, due process, self-incrimination protections, and privacy rights, while dragooning dealers into spreading the state’s terms of surrender…

You’ve got to scroll down to find them. The “real reporter” figured we needed to hear Kamala and Joe prove they’re cluelsss how the election went and demand more infringements on everybody first because of Madison.

Question about Sec. 34210: Do you see anything in there prohibiting dealers from putting a stamp on the pamphlet warning customers it’s state-mandated bull$h!+? I guess if they wanna stay open, because the vindictive bastards don’t neeed laws to persecute…

Flag Burner

Cain’s bill establishes consequences for falsely accusing another person of being a threat. If the bill passes, state and local entities would be barred from enacting red flag laws unless they are “expressly authorized by Texas law.” HB 162 would establish that federal regulations are unenforceable if they do not protect the accused’s due process rights. Further, persons “who serve or attempt to serve a red flag order within Texas unless the order was issued under Texas law” would be subject to imprisonment. [More]

False reports should be self-incriminating.

So should enforcement and prosecution attempts that deny due process.

Sign Me Up?

President Trump has a tool to push for the passage of legislation, such as the hearing protection act. The executive branch, specifically the Secretary of the Treasury, can unilaterally declare an amnesty for people to register NFA items with the ATF. [More]

Wouldn’t that imply they’d done something wrong and that citizens should obey tyrannical claims on their rights…?

Yeah, of course I know the alternative.

Some of us have considered that before charting our own course.

I like Dean, he does a lot of valuable stuff and I’m sure he’s doing his best to let us know about something that could keep us out of trouble. I guess I’m just surprised to see this on JPFO.
