Waist Deep in the Big Muddy

Prof. John Mearsheimer : No Way for Trump to Win [Watch]

A lefty Pete Seeger song comes to mind.

Alluded to in the conversation between Judge Nap and the professor is a concern I’ve had from Day One– that the Iranian masses don’t have the will and the wherewithal to replace their regime, thinking we can do it for them is an invitation to disaster, that what they would replace it with has never been identified, and that Reza Pahlavi is the wrong horse to back.

It does kind of raise some questions for those who maintain millions of hard core gun owners would have no chance against a gun-confiscating government. If an ostensibly omnipotent military can’t bring the Iranians to heel, what makes people think they could do it here, where “We are everywhere“?

We’ll see how wrong I am. Pray that I am. I do.

An Unqualified Opinion

Oh, look: False authority. Lemme show you what I mean.

Meet self-identified Korea/Vietnam vet Paul A. Ransom, who “expertly” informs us:

The explosive in a bullet is the same as the explosive in a bomb. Just a smaller amount. Bombs are under tight control. Bombs can be purchased, but not without the proper credentials. We as American citizens have the right to bare arms, but nothing in the Constitution gives us the right to have a bomb or bullets. 

Remember who one of our greatest “war heroes” once was.

In the Spirit of Aloha

Why are residents being charged multiple fees not authorized by law? Why are residents being charged at all when the County is already paying for the system? Why is confidential firearm data being handled by a private company? And who is ensuring compliance with Hawaiʻi statutes? [More]

And why is such a “public/private partnership” not referred to by it’s true name?

Let me guess: Standing army only, and the militia of the whole people need not apply…?

You’d think a “single issue” Second Amendment organization would have something to say about that.

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]

Time to Put Up

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!
