End of an Era/Beginning of a New One

In this special 300th episode, GUNS Magazine Editor and host Brent Wheat and guest Roy Huntington make a historic announcement: the print editions of GUNS Magazine and American Handgunner Magazine are ending after 70 years. [More]

The times they are a-changin’.

I did 15 years at GUNS and the last 3 issues of American Handgunner.

Depth Charges

“Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job,” a former Biden White House official said. “She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration’s key work streams, and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops that exposed how out of depth she was.” [More]

So they knew she was out of her depth in a ceremonial do-nothing position but nonetheless supported her getting the top job, no doubt because they knew she would be another stage prop puppet.

What does that say about them and their reverence for the Constitutional system, aside from they just want power over us and they’ll do and say anything to get more of it?

You’d have to be a psychopath, a dolt, or both to vote for that.

It’s In a Scorpion’s Nature

Violence is built into the very foundations of leftist ideology. Marx himself fantasized in print over the apocalyptic events that would accompany the revolution of the proletariat. Mikhail Bakunin preached the “propaganda of the deed” – political activism by means of bombing and assassination. Sergei Nechaev was so eager for blood that he began killing his own followers (he was also crazy enough to terrify even Bakunin). Pyotr Tkachev calmly asserted that 10% of the bourgeoisie would have to die following the revolution, a sentiment echoed by none other than Obama’s bestie, Bill Ayers. All this rhetoric came to a head in the next century thanks to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mengistu, and a legion of others, at the cost of 100 million dead or more. The Age of Massacre could not have occurred without the Left. [More]

There’s a reason Democrat “socialists” want our guns.

Now look at how many are endorsed by DSA. That no mainstream Republicans seem to be picking up on this and using it has telling implications about how deep they really are.

HHS Report Ignores ‘Gun Health’

Kennedy’s health commission leaves guns out of its 20-page report [More]

I agree with critics that it should have mentioned guns, but not for the same reasons: If it purports “to help parents improve their children’s health,” it ought to include resources for development appropriate firearms training.

Charlie Kirk Aggregator

I talked about this story yesterday on Armed American Radio with host Mark Walters and continue to see news developments and get related tips, so rather than do multiple posts I’ll keep adding to this one as the day progresses.

Here’s yesterday’s show ICYMI:

Suspect caught. They’re not saying much more yet.

Wisco Dave sends:

Good grief.

Are the “anti-fascist” engravings reported by Fox News different ones? Or was the above X post presumptuous about what ATF was referencing?

Per this report:

One shell casing read: “Hey fascist! Catch!” There were also inscriptions on three recovered unfired casings. Those said:

“Hey fascist! Catch!” followed by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols
“Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao”
“If you read this, you are gay LMAO”

Tyler Robinson, 22, evidently convinced to surrender by his father and a minister…

Your turn, Fudds:

What is a bolt action rifle? What we know about the gun used to kill Charlie Kirk

 The internet is forever. Michael G sends “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” and “The Trophy Case.”

Email from a reader:

Tyler Robinson’s father is Matt Robinson, a veteran of the Washington County Sheriff’s Department in Utah. Matt Robinson identified his son from photographs released by the FBI and helped facilitate his surrender to authorities. Key details about Matt Robinson and his role: He recognized his son, Tyler, as the suspect in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and confronted him. After his son confessed to the shooting, Matt Robinson encouraged him to turn himself in. He later involved a youth pastor who is also a U.S. Marshals task force officer, and together they brought Tyler into police headquarters. News reports indicate that he has been a Republican voter since at least 2000. In addition to his law enforcement career, Matt Robinson also owns a kitchen countertop business.

Overcoming Death

‘That’s not me’: Decarlos Brown claims government implanted ‘materials’ to make him kill Iryna Zarutska, as Trump calls for death penalty [More]

Not gonna happen.

He’s not smart enough to calculate the insanity defense his lawyer will plead. Whether that will be a public defender or one paid by some lefty foundation remains to be seen.

We’re the Only Ones Professionally Courteous Enough

In New York, Some Police Officers Can Drink, Drive and Avoid Charges – Officers in New York State crashed their official vehicles, hit other motorists and arrived to work reeking of alcohol. And yet, they sometimes evaded criminal punishment, an investigation found. [More]

But surely this isn’t something that’s longstanding and systemic, is it?

Is it?

Chuck the Balances?

Randy Fine Reveals Plan to Hold Judges Accountable for Violent Repeat Offenders [More]

Impeachment isn’t already a Constitutional option?

Let’s see the bill. Then let’s see the prognosis.

What separation of powers complications will it raise? And what would things look like when Democrats take over?
