A Strategic Advance

Murphy: Gun reform talks won’t include assault weapons ban, ‘comprehensive’ background checks [More]

Those will come later after easier obstacles are hurdled without meaningful opposition. The object is to establish a beachhead without expending too many resources from which they can launch future incursions.

You’d think Republicans would know about D-Day.

An Ounce of Prevention

As war drags on, Ukrainians start to ask: could we have prepared better? Some are looking back at weeks before invasion and asking if more could have been done [More]

Ya think?

And they seem bound and determined to keep f-ing up. Funny how only the Russians and no Western media (or gun groups, that had initially celebrated the arming of citizens) are interested in following up on this.

And no, I didn’t “fall for Russian propaganda.” Ukraine media has admitted it.

Art Imitates Life

I have to confess, back in the day, Sanford and Son was a guilty pleasure. At first I just thought it was so stupid it was funny, but as I watched it more I came to realize that there was some genuine talent happening on several levels.

Alert – Commerce Publishes New Rule Requiring Congressional Notification for Semiautomatic Firearm Exports

Today the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a Final Rule adopting a new requirement for Congressional Notification for certain semiautomatic firearms exports under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The final rule will become effective on July 18, 2022. [More]

Another in a series of alerts I try to keep readers apprised of…

By All Means, Go There

The possession, by private citizens who could be called up for militia service, of “weapons of war” is not only protected by the Second Amendment — settled law — it is required. [More]

And the antis say we’re the ones who never want to mention the first 13 words…

In a way, they’re right– for reasons they’ve never adequately explained, the power players “on our side” don’t seem willing to go much beyond “self-defense” in their legal filings.

That’s a vulnerability that will hurt us.

Going Full FBI

“What the public should be looking at is the fact that the FBI gave our son the means to make this happen. He has no job, no money, no vehicle, and no driver’s license, due to the fact that he is schizophrenic and we; his parents do everything we can possible to keep him safe and functional….. He has suffered through countless serious full-blown schizophrenic delusional episodes and he has been put in numerous mental hospitals since he was 16 years old. The FBI came and picked him up from our home, they gave him a vehicle, gave him a fake bomb, and every means to make this happen none of which he had access to on his own. [More]

Three words…

Ask What Our Country Can Do for You

Askandi, who’s Mexican American, attended the protest with her son, who’s also Persian American, because she said she’s become afraid after gunmen targeted people of color in Buffalo, N.Y., less than two weeks ago and in El Paso in 2016. [More]

So they came here with the understanding of the role of government they were indoctrinated with, and now want to impose what they fled on the people who took them in.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …

In Memoriam

Many Americans have the day off. They’re looking forward to barbecues and picnics, parades, and games. Pursuit of happiness is good, albeit the Republic’s survival would be better served were Liberty pursued as vigorously as comforts and pleasures.

One way to connect with personal purpose is to reflect on those who came before us and endured great hardships and sacrifices, to bequeath to us, their heirs, a system of principles and laws designed to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Here is who I will be remembering today, a man I never knew because his time came and was then cut short before I was born:

My Uncle Nick did not make it back from WWII. He was so young, with a life ahead of him that he would never know, and gave “the last full measure of devotion,” sacrificing life, love, and family. Think about that.

I cannot imagine the agony my grandparents had to endure over the loss of their beloved only son. Over 50 years later, a friend visited the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery where he was laid to rest and brought back a photograph of his gravesite which I gave to my mother. She still wept at the loss of her kid brother.

I’m sure everyone here has special memories to reflect on today. Let those solemn remembrances come with introspection and a prayer: May we be worthy.

Judas Bob 2.0

“In an industry with 500 companies all making the same products, you have to get ahead somehow,” said Ryan Busse, a former firearms executive … “This is how he has grown his business by being on the edge and wrapping this holy roller thing around it,” added Busse, who is a senior adviser for the gun violence prevention group Giffords.

Horrors! Daniel Defense offends triggered bedwetters!

We’ve run into this type before.

I guess it depends on who’s footing the bill…
