We’re the Fauxnly Ones Federal Enough
FBI warns of New England scammers impersonating FBI agents – The scammers are telling victims their information was used to create an account to purchase illegal firearms, the FBI said. [More]
And then what? The article is a little light on what they’re telling people to get them to fork over money.
That on what the difference is between a private scammer and an official asset forfeiture claimant, aside from the latter being a lot more lucrative and dangerous…

The Princess Diaries
Ohio doctor who wrote paper on why teens kill allegedly murdered in plot orchestrated by her own teenage daughter… When pressed further, however, Bryanna began revealing new details – including that she was dating Evans, who is black, and that her parents were ‘very racist.’ [More]
Woke DEI white guilt indoctrination in action…

Aid and Comfort to the Enemy
New documents reported by ‘The Midwesterner’ say El-Sayed’s birth mother, Fatten Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, also known as the IARA. The U.S. Treasury Department in 2004 designated the network as an organization supporting terrorism, including support for Osama bin Laden and Hamas. [More]

$#!+ or Go Blind?
That raises an uncomfortable legal question GRNC’s counsel has flagged: if federal registration is impossible for a covered item, does not being registered still count as being “in compliance with” the federal scheme for purposes of North Carolina’s exception? No court or state authority has answered that question. Until one does, NC gun owners are in a zone of legal ambiguity. [More]
So… I take it Ted Davis and Bill Brisson will be no help?
Those Eggs are Going to Make Some Fine Chickens
There’s huge news breaking out all across the United States when it comes to our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, including an anticipated huge victory when it comes to our right to keep and bear arms in June of 2027 dealing with those two pending AR-15 ban cases in the US Supreme Court. I had a long talk with Steven Halbrook…involving the history of gun registrations, gun licensing, quote unquote assault weapon bans, the movement to ban guns in the United States, the history of that, the Supreme Court, where it’s going… [Watch]
I hate to be the one who keeps bringing up Mr. Wolf (NSFW!), but a lot can happen between now and then, and I keep remembering the adage about how to make God laugh.
I hope I’m being unnecessarily pessimistic.

Don’t Let the Door Hit Ya
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is looking to leave his role at the Pentagon around the end of 2026 following a months-long turf war with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former White House official and another source familiar with the discussions told The Hill on Friday. [More]
Good.
If he’s sleeping with one enemy, who’s to say he hasn’t been sleeping with another, NSSF’s obsequious fawning notwithstanding?

In the Kapu Tradition
The base of opposition to statehood in Congress was Southern Democrats. To them, Hawaii was a dangerous portent of an interracial future. [More]
Skin in the Game
Ex-“Only One” out to make a few bucks… figures. And, of course, no mention of FASTER.
Now do one on teachers trying to put out a five-alarm fire and use that as justification to remove extinguishers.
What a dishonest presentation. Nobody’s asking them to play Bruce Willis clearing the Nakatomi Tower.
And nobody’s forcing a commitment on anyone. But you start infringing on individual choice to exercise Constitutionally – protected freedom under force of arms and you’ve told everyone whose camp you’re in. As have voices supporting that, using the false authority logical fallacy to mask the fact that anyone defending “gun-free zones” is an oath-breaking statist.
But you know who agrees with you on no guns in schools, Jason?

Flipping the Script
I haven’t been this impressed since Scarlett Johanssen did a three-point landing.
My first thought was actually the Normandy Beach stormers all following suit as soon as they got off the LCVP…

Piecemeal Prohibitionists
Me-can I buy individual parts? State-yeah, for repairs. Do I have to prove I have the gun first? No…. So I can just buy all of the parts in a build kit individually in the same cart and purchase just not as a single item….. [More]
While HB 1240 obviously targets complete firearms, its language is written broadly enough to ensnare PARTS [Emphasis Added] and kits that could be used to assemble a banned weapon. This is a huge minefield for online sellers.
I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, but if I were going to try a workaround, I’d find a way that didn’t leave a trail of invoice breadcrumbs.
And naturally, what would any militia disarmament edict be without a standing army exemption?
The law does have carve-outs for sales to law enforcement agencies and active-duty military personnel who are purchasing for official use.
Just like the Framers intended, no?

Left Standing
Ninth Circuit Rejects California, Giffords Bid to Expand ATF ‘Ghost Gun’ Rule… Article III standing, Judge Consuelo Callahan explained, is a “bedrock constitutional requirement.” Federal courts decide actual cases involving concrete injuries. They are not supposed to serve as another legislative chamber for states and political organizations unhappy with federal policy. [More]
Yeah, but “without prejudice” means they’ll be back with a new angle, and a panel does not the whole Ninth Circuit make.
Without a Lick of Sense
Dem House candidate’s 2013 arrest resurfaces in pivotal race for control of Congress… I follow the lead of first responders and gun violence prevention advocates… [More]
An anti-energy Democrat with a criminal background supporting “Only Ones” enforcing citizen disarmament… How “progressive” is that?
Mightier Than the Sword?
A Tennessee school employee is behind bars after he allegedly stabbed a delivery driver with a pen multiple times for being late for a delivery. [More]
If late deliveries upset him, wait ’til he sees his mug shot.
Demand pen-free school zones!
Time Out
Some of you trying to get into WarOnGuns this morning may have gotten back a “429 Too many requests” error message.
What’s happening is this site is on a shared server, and when the host gets more traffic than it can handle, either because there are too many users or bots are overwhelming it, everyone is frozen out, even me.
The solution is to pay for a private server, something I’m contemplating but have mixed feeling about, because this site is not a revenue generator and I have to decide if the number of readers I get makes it worth the money to me. Based on the stats, I’m torn.
Per my longstanding policy, when I ask readers to make donations for something it is never for me, and that’s not going to change. I am looking at what my options are, including with another host, but for the time being all I can suggest is if you really want to get in and can’t, please wait and try again. If that’s too much of an ask with the information I try to provide and the work required to present it in a unique way, then that kind of answers the question.
Sorry. That’s the best I got at this time.
New Jersey Democrats Increase Prior Restraint Poll Tax
On July 20, the New Jersey State Police Firearms Investigation Unit sent a memo to New Jersey FFLs announcing a 200% increase in the NICS portal administration fee to support “system enhancements” that will include a new portal for dealers and instructors, yet with no definitive rollout date or effective date for either the portal or the fee increase. [More]
Can you imagine being an “Only One” enforcing New Jersey citizen disarmament edicts and calling yourself an American?
The Times, They are a-Changin’
“I knew Sandusky as a safe place. You could walk the streets at night with nobody bothering you and we didn’t have to worry about all these guns,” Burge said. Sandusky police say the increase in gun violence has been seen nationwide, and in the summer, they deal with many shooting incidents. [More]
You’re worried about the wrong things, Burge, and as for the propaganda being spewed by incentivized Sandusky “Only Ones,” no less a source than Giffords is forced to admit:
Gun Violence Continues to Drop – The CDC just released its data detailing the impact of gun violence in America in 2024. In 2024, the US saw record declines in gun violence, with the gun death rate falling at its highest percentage since 1995.
Far be it from “real reporter” Maya Lockett to do the minute of “research” it took for #justablogger to find that out.
Calling All Fudds
Colorado Dem Manny Rutinel Served as Fellow at University Law Program Tied to Accused Ecoterrorists and Claims of Insect Sentience – The University of Denver’s Animal Law Program, where Rutinel served as a fellow, is run by a Harvard-trained lawyer who said there’s ‘no principled reason’ for elephants to be ‘deprived of legal personhood’ [More]
So when his endorsers pretend they support hunting and sport shooting, they’re lying…?
