We’re the Only Ones Cruising Enough
“He ain’t dead; he’s alive,” one of the officers said. Instead of trying to help—or even calling it in—one of them instead said, “Let’s cruise around and come back.” [More]
Well, they did have no duty to protect…

We’re the Only Ones Not Laughing Enough
We’re the Only Ones Sketchy Enough
“He has four days on site, puts together his plan, kind of sketches out where he wants everyone. He never set foot on or in that building,” Davis said, noting that the lead sniper blamed this oversight on needing to do “paperwork.” [More]
He probably figured with a sloped roof no one would risk it.

So It’s Not About Principle
HB 1386 creates an additional 11% excise tax on the sale of all ammunition in the state. Firearms and ammunition are already subject to an 11% federal excise tax through the Pittman-Robertson Act, along with a variety of other state and local taxes and fees. The NRA has current litigation against California’s similar 11% excise tax, and will be present at the hearing to oppose this bill. [More]
So 11% taxes are praiseworthy when they benefit Fudds but bad when they benefit gun-grabbers…?

In the Kapu Tradition
House Bills 125, 136 and 138 impose firearm storage mandates…House Bill 150 prohibits an individual from lending a firearm to another individual… Senate Bill 174 imposes egregious restrictions on the purchase and possession of ammunition… Senate Bill 128 removes an individual’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms for the conviction OR mere prosecution of trespassing on agricultural land… Senate Bill 308 expands Hawaii’s existing ban on detachable magazines capable of accepting more than 10 rounds to all firearms, not just for pistols.

Buy Like a Dealer?
[Y]ou are not buying products from FDC, we are simply giving you exclusive access to the wholesale vendor network while providing the customer service of a retail site. [More]
Presented here fyi. I know nothing about these folks, have no experience with them, and who.is shows site registration by proxy.
If you’ve dealt with them, feel free to add a comment. In the mean time, I’ll try to contact them and see if anyone wants to introduce themselves…
UPDATES
I see they’re associated with Brandon Herrera.
I began a dialog on FB messaging and got this returned:
I’m Taylor Spears, COO of FDC.
My business partner Chris Smith and I started FDC out of Pensacola, FL. Home of naval aviation.
I have a background in development and CIS and 12 years of operations management experience, the last 4 of which being in the firearms game.
My partner Chris has almost 20 years of retail firearms experience, and owns the largest firearm retailer on the Florida panhandle.
We brought in Brandon Herrera as part owner in our company to provide the business with a recognizable and relatable face in the 2A community (you know, the guy has been publicly recommended by the people to be the next director of the ATF).
Chris and Brandon met at an ATF hearing in Fort Walton Beach, FL when they were both testifying against ATF overreach (the retail store Chris owns was subject to a significant amount of said overreach)
We’re obscenely pro-2A, and lean very limited government and constitutionalist in our core business values.
FDC is somewhat of a Costco of the firearms world. We provide access to wholesalers in the firearm industry in exchange for a small monthly fee, and charge exactly what the vendors charge us. We make zero money off transactions on FDC and rely on customer service and our membership fees to operate off of.
Think of us as BDU without the sketch factor. We respond to our chats, fulfill the product as ordered, take care of the customer, and provide an above and beyond approach to our members.
Oh. And we pay our affiliates. That last part is rather important. We’re a small community, and everybody talks if you don’t properly treat those who represent your brand to their viewers and readers.

Murphy’s Law
Setting the Stage for Trump v. Bondi?
Because Trump’s convictions involved crimes that were notionally punishable by more than a year of incarceration, they made him subject to a federal law that bars him from possessing firearms. [More]
But not the nuclear football…
I do wonder– if he challenged this – would his AG defend the law and fight him…?
