Returning to Form

Got back from my trip late last night (early this morning). I typically don’t post here on weekends, but I have an article announcement.

  • I see the NFA brouhaha over the Senate Parliamentarian. Was anyone surprised?
  • Despite best laid schemes, I did not “attend” the NRA webinar. I tried, but being on my phone I couldn’t make it work. I followed the link they emailed me but it then said I had to download an app, which I did, but when I went to rejoin the meeting it said I needed to enter a password, which I never established. I clicked on the link for needing help and it said it would send a code to my email address. I tried that twice and no dice. After spending 20 minutes and then noting the meeting was already 10 minutes underway, I said “Screw it,” and watched an episode of Rawhide on Pluto TV instead.
  • I have a new article at Firearms News that posted in my absence. I’ll do my usual announcement tomorrow.

UPDATE

Here’s the “Town Hall” on YouTube:

Draw your own conclusions.

Welcome to the Party, Pals

GOA Condemns DOJ Proposal to Merge ATF and DEA: “A Trojan Horse for Gun Control”… The allied organizations joining GOA and GOF are the Second Amendment Foundation, CCRKBA (Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms), CRPA (California Rifle & Pistol Association) and 2nd Amendment Law Center. [More]

Been making similar points for years…

Y’know, if you guys would listen to another piece of advice and demand your rightful seats on the “Task Force,” we wouldn’t keep running into these loggerheads disconnects…

A Justice Advocate of Alternative Vision

FBI Investigates California Politician’s Call for Gangs to Stop ICE [More]

I was just involved in an X.com discussion where one poster was concerned that “pejoratives” were being used.

So, what’s a non-offensive term for domestic enemies who want to supplant us with an alien culture, seize what our forebears built, and replace, enslave, and kill us? And got any pictures of her in a “Moms Demand” tee…?

What’s Wrong with This Picture?

Nearly 850 illegal guns have been taken off the streets of Michigan thanks to “Operation Safe Neighborhood,” Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced Monday morning…Operation Safe Neighborhoods focuses on “high-risk” individuals with previous weapon offenses. [More]

Eyes have they, but they see not.

Slow Going Ahead

Where to begin?

Relatives flew in last night and are staying at our place for a week. Meanwhile, wife and I have to leave them here tomorrow for an out-of-state weekend because her niece is getting married. Then my sister comes in on the 1st from AZ and will be here through the 7th. I have big family doings on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, with me hosting a horde on Independence Day… I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare…

I still have one article in at AmmoLand and one at Firearms News I’ll publicize if they post before we leave tomorrow morning at o-dark-thirty, and when we get back there’s a deadline on my next American Handgunner piece…

This is all my way of saying please hold off on emails, news tips, comments, and death threats until I give the “All Clear,” otherwise I fear it will be a wasted effort for you. I’ll try to get to some of the tips currently in the inbox and will post comments received up to quitting time this evening, but after that everything will need to wait for me to be able to get to it.

A Half-A$$ed Attempt

Top Biden aide admits to Congress she directed autopen signatures without knowing who gave final approval [More]

Enough.She didn’t just operate it on her own. Who told her to run a document through? Put them on the hot seat.

Who “authorized” her? Who are the “members of the inner circle”? Why hasn’t she been threatened with contempt unless she gets specific with “So-and-so directed me to have this signed?”

This could undo every law, every appointment, every EO going back to who knows when? Are Republicans ever going to strap ’em on and act like this is the existential spiritual and physical war that it is?

Oversight never played real hardball with Fast and Furious, either.

Hey, You’re the Ones Who Said Resistance was Futile…

CTRL+P(ain) : far-right and 3D weapons, a new frontier of political violence – The incident reflects an alarming global trend: the rise of right-wing digital extremism and the increasing access to technology to manufacture undetectable weapons. This dangerous combination worries security agencies, as it escapes state control and can be easily replicated anywhere in the world. [More]

So, it sounds like it would be in everybody’s interest if you stopped trying to shove collectivist controls down everybody’s craws, admitted “gun control” is an unworkable non-starter, and focused on securing the Blessings of Liberty…

Just a thought…

Rhode Island Reds

Rhode Island’s Democratic-controlled state House on Friday approved legislation that would ban the sale and manufacturing of many semiautomatic rifles commonly referred to as assault weapons. The proposal now heads to the desk of Democratic Gov. Dan McKee, who said in a post on the social platform X on Friday evening that he plans to sign the bill into law. [More]

Dan does have his priorities…

And note how AP characterizes them as “weapons of choice.”

I guess that’s always depended on what lie you wanted to perpetuate.

Those Who Can’t

Hillsborough County teacher tried to smuggle guns to foreign country [More]

Thank goodness it turns out she was just a “straw purchaser.” After the last post, I was wondering how she would get them past the TSA scanner.

Just looking at the haul, she’d have had to be, like Stacey Abrams, to get them all to fit.

We’re the Only Ones Politically Exploiting Enough

A visa program, designated as a “U” visa, is intended to grant temporary legal status and work authorization to illegal aliens who are victims of certain serious crimes and agree to cooperate with law enforcement. However, critics claim some agencies may be misusing the program for political purposes. [More]

It sounds like Houston “Only Ones” are being deliberately in-your-face about Public Information Act compliance and a slapdown is in order.
