Beto Testing

Beto O’Rourke says he does not regret saying he will take away AK-47s and AR-15s while running for president [More]

He still hasn’t fleshed out how for us.

He was speaking as if he had presidential powers, so, say it’s through executive action or even a law he signed– presuming he’s replaced enough SCOTUS justices to reverse Bruen.

Now what?

What’s it going to take to get the guns away from the, say, Three Percent who will say “Hell no, you won’t,” despite seeing some picked off to be made examples of to spook the rest of the herd…?

How far is he willing to go, and what will that do to the smooth running of society?

Trump Asked to Remember Pledge about Military Base Victim Disarmament Policies

“As Commander in Chief, this is a pen-and-a-phone moment for you,” CDT asserted. “No rogue federal judge has the power to stop you. Do it this week, and take one more easy Win.” [More]

Will any “gun rights groups” add their voices? Why or why not? How about just plain gun owners like …you?

Lies of Omission

“Greyhound? I’m working on trying to get them to stop their policy of letting guns be carried across state lines…and we want Governor Kemp to come on with the gun law, close it back. We don’t need our young brothers with guns,” Hightower said. [More]

Yo, Fox 5 and “real reporter” Eric Mock (originally from Portland OR) who called it “murder”: You don’t think it’s important to inform your readers/viewers that the “victim” was a “prohibited person” who was shot and killed while trying to commit an armed robbery…?

Any plans on a “clarification” or are you hoping nobody notices?

SAF Challenges Non-Resident Carry Permit Process in Massachusetts [More]

Can you imagine explaining this to Samuel Adams?

ALSO from SAF:

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners secured a major victory today after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a mandate overturning California’s “one-gun-per-month” restriction, setting a historic precedent.

I don’t see a link posted yet, but when it is you should be able to read the whole release here.

When the Team is Up Against It, and the Breaks are Beating the Boys

The National Football League is suggesting good guys with guns be hired to protect all league facilities following the July 28, 2025, Manhattan shooting in which NFL headquarters were believed to have been the intended target. [More]

See…? They’re not “anti-gun.”

They just don’t want you to have one.

Outside Chance

Police said the homeowner was working on his property, which is not his primary residence when he was met with an intruder on the porch who was armed with a baseball bat and a knife. Police said the struggle moved from the porch down into the yard, where the homeowner pulled a gun and shot the other man. [More]

There’s an important reminder here for those who do yard work.

Redefining ‘Government Watchdog’

Denver Post Doxxes Citizens For Sharing Pictures And Public Records About Crime… “People who claim to be citizen journalists must stand by their work with a byline and endure the negative comments and threats that come with the job,” wrote Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer. [More]

Ever here of “Publius,” Krista?

Be careful — that doxxing door swings both ways, and your fellow Democrats changed the rules of engagement.

We’re the Only Ones Unqualified Enough

DEI D.C. Police Chief Doesn’t Know What The Term “Chain Of Command” Means [More]

This makes me recall Philadelphia’s former Chief Ramsey and San Francisco’s former Chief Fong, and makes me wonder what I need to do to find out if she’s passed all the required qualifications to carry a gun.

I just spent five minutes searching and can’t even find specifics on what a regular DC cop has to do to pass.

Another Red Herring

The Daily Beast on Wednesday published a story appearing to criticize Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approval of executions for five veterans found guilty of rape and murder. [More]

Those behind it know damn well if you exempt them, equal protection would mean you need to exempt everyone, which is the real goal here.

Blasts from the Past

Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Edwin Walker discuss The Tragedy That Broke the Background Check System.This is about more than just erroneous firearm denials—it’s about a federal policy change that’s leading to massive Second Amendment infringements, and a branch of the ATF most people have never heard of. [More]

So… Fix NICS isn’t everything the quislings at NSSF crack it up to be…?

I look forward to an editorial from Larry Keane explaining how it would comport with Bruen’s text, history, and tradition standard.

Well, This was Completely Avoidable

If only some internal team existed to catch this stuff before it becomes an issue…

Well, I guess if the “gun groups” don’t care about not being included, I shouldn’t…

Democrat Finally Makes ‘Dodge City’ Prediction Come True

Seattle gunman Gregory Timm — who crashed car into Trump voter registration — is accused of shooting man in wheelchair over ‘stolen valor’ [More]

The lesson here — aside from the demonstrable reality that those who want Trump dead want his agenda supporters dead — is that you don’t bring a fake gun to a real gunfight.
