Sleeping with the Enemy

As with every anti-firearm “political agreement” at the UN, had it succeeded, U.S. manufacturers, retailers and users would be forced to comply with a global regulatory regime that no Congress ever approved and no American citizen voted for. [More]

How, without complicity and betrayal by the U.S. government?

Naturally, NSSF is all for international engagement.

I’ve made my views on giving foreign prohibitionists any say at all clear, bringing this rebuke from an NRA flack:

Yet despite this, those like David Codrea, in an article in the September 2003 issue of “Guns and Ammo”, would continue to council disengagement, retreat from the global battlefield, and a kind of pseudo-isolationism that fails to recognize that there are no protective oceans to hide behind in a world-wide battle of ideas. It is apparently more important for Codrea and his ilk to maintain an ideological purity of thought, rather than achieve any of the incremental positional successes that could best guarantee eventual victory. What is more, it is hard to imagine how an almost Islamist-like exclusionary world-view will enable the Codreas of the world to convert more than the occasional wandering “Aryan” to the paradise of a rapidly diminishing gunowner “reservation”.

It’s all summarized here.

The only response to globalist gun-grabbers is, “No. Your move.” And any trade pressure should be met with crushing pressure of or own.

Our Hero!

This was a heroic action by the employee and undoubtedly saved who knows how many lives. [More]

So the position of the industry is “gun control” works but NICS needs a vigilante assist?

Doesn’t that also play into the hands of lawfaring gun-grabbers who argue dealers without psychic abilities are negligent and liable? And can they still do that if the person is the “wrong” color?

I note they’re prosecuting the guy for lying on the 4473. Guess he didn’t have the right dad.

Mystery to Me

Police in Kentucky are searching for a motive after a gunman shot and killed two women at a church on Sunday, also injuring a state trooper. [More]

Assuming this is really him, I wonder

And you’d better believe the left would love to be able to exploit this.

All I know for sure is, depending on “the authorities” and establishment media means motives that don’t support the official narrative can be and stay buried.

We’re the Only Ones Opportunistic Enough

Blue city officers flocking to cop-friendly red states, police leader says: ‘Why would anyone stay?’ FOP vice president reveals why law enforcement is abandoning Democrat-run areas for greener pastures [More]

Do they bring blue state police union “us first” anti-gun attitudes with them?

It’s not like FOP is our “steadfast ally.”

Down the Memory Hole

Glock Catalog Update/NSSF Leadership- Interesting People … Should I thank or curse Codrea for writing that blog post of his which sent me down an all night rabbit hole? [More]

Oh, I have much deeper holes I could send you down, and plenty of ’em…🙂

Lord willing, there’ll be more to dig before I put the shovel down.

Speaking of holes and blasts from the past

One thing about the wildly lucrative world of Second Amendment advocacy (besides the steak and lobster dinners every night and the endless parade of Victoria’s Secret supermodels I keep having to remind I’m married): You never go wanting for source material.

The Buck Stops There

Democrat lawmakers have said that their voters are now threatening “blood” and “violence” over their inability to stop President Donald Trump from continuing forward with his agenda. [More]

I guess that’s one way to point fingers away from their own rhetoric that the less self-restrained of their constituents are responding to.

Out of Network

Let’s be blunt: the FBI’s JTTFs have disrupted plots targeting New York, Boston, and cities across the country. They are essential to homeland security. Pulling out of that network—especially now—is the domestic equivalent of turning off radar at Pearl Harbor. [More]

Far be it from me to laud fusion centers.

That said, if and when “it” happens, odds are it will be where the odds of success are greatest.

We’re the Only Ones Searching Enough

FOX 2 has learned the names of individuals who a former police chief is accused of misusing the Regional Justice Information System database. Hundreds of people were allegedly searched without their knowledge and without probable cause. [More]

At least he didn’t have “ICE” in the query field

Ain’t it something’? Two stories today about how those entrusted with surveillance powers can’t be…

[Via bondmen]

Be It Resolved

While you’re at it, open up a real investigation against the former Boundary County prosecutor.

Why did his lame excuses for dropping charges ring so hollow?

Was he compromised by forgery charges?

[Via WiscoDave]

We’re the Only Ones Inadvertent Enough

[T]wo searches from the ATF analyst inadvertently accessed Illinois vehicle data with “ICE” in the query field which is a violation of Illinois law. [More]

From the folks who brought us “Zero Tolerance” for FFLs.

Still, the question needs to be raised as to who is being protected by making that illegal…

Upping the Ante

After getting a complete smackdown from the 9th Circuit in their one gun a month law, California is at it again this time believing that limiting firearm purchases to three guns a month is somehow Constitutional. [Watch]

A spate

Who’s infringin’? We’re limitin’.

Hey, you don’t need more than three guns to hunt deer…

Lemonade Out of Lemons

As a result, short barreled rifles (and shotguns) will not be subject to the Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax levied on rifle manufacturers, nor will they be subject to the $200 transfer tax previously levied on purchasers. [More]

True, but price isn’t the most objectionable point.

We’re the Only Ones Robotic Enough

Transforming public safety in Thailand: Deploying AI police cyborgs with AWS Cloud solutions [More]

I don’t think “cyborg” is the right term for strictly mechanical devices, but the point is made.

I do wonder what Pol. Col. Nakhonpathom Plod Phai is prepared to do against lethal armed aggressors who don’t obey all those commonsense gun safety laws”…

Too bad they cane people there. I was just thinking if they’d had these when I was in college, me and my buddies would have figured out a way to pants it.

Why Won’t You Hosers Disarm, Eh?

The Canadian gov has allocated almost $100k to a nationwide survey asking gun owners why they are not complying with the ongoing, failed, mandatory gun buyback. [More]

A point I don’t see being made here: Answering seems like a great way to incriminate yourself. Do they guarantee they won’t trace responses back and use them to establish probable cause? And why would you believe people who demand your guns?
