The Long and Short of It

The SHORT Act would remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and other firearms from the draconian NFA. Sign the petition now to support the SHORT Act and help GOA get this legislation over the finish line! [More]

The finish line is the president’s desk.

I’m sure some will balk with the requirement to provide a phone number. If the goal is to get ‘er done, it would help if we knew which reps and senators we needed to work on who wouldn’t be a complete waste of time, and who could be publicly pressured via their X.com accounts.

Maybe let ’em know the ban was the excuse the government used to justify executing Vicki and Sammy Weaver.

Union Organizers

Establish a Second Amendment Czar… Create and Staff a First and Second Amendment Section Within the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division … Enact Massive National Firearms Act (NFA) Arms Reforms [More]

For reasons I’ve explained before, “czar” doesn’t work for me, but a liaison with the Office of Second Amendment Protection sure would.

Quiet Reflections

So California requires one and bans the other… Is this where some idiot “progressive” would say “Yeah, but cars don’t kill people”?

Good First Steps

The Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced today the repeal of the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy and the review of Final Rule 2021R-08F, related to stabilizing braces, and Final Rule 2022R-17F, related to the definition of “engaging in the business” of firearms dealing. [More]

As for “consultations with stakeholders, including gun rights organizations, industry leaders and legal experts,” why not formalize that?

A viable way to present a coordinated front representing gun owner interests and having the president’s ear is by the White House replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office for Second Amendment Protection.

Adventures in Baselessness

Judicial Watch announced late last week that “its analysis and use of voter registration lists has led to lawsuits and legal actions under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) that have resulted in the removal of five million names from voter rolls in nearly a dozen states and localities” since 2019. [More]

I will say this: Now that Justice reports to him, it’s time for Trump to put up.

If anybody thinks that’s a controversial statement, let’s hear why.

Your ‘Feel Good’ News Story of the Day

“We’re not going to stand back and let SPLC get away with this frivolous lawsuit because they need to now pay for the time and expenses for this frivolous case that they knew was frivolous,” he said. “We’re going to go after Janet Jenkins not only for cost but for attorney’s fees, and we’re going to go after the SPLC for cost and attorney’s fees, as well.” [More]

Vanderboegh smiles.

Tilting at Misguided Windmills

Today, Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA-02) and Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced the Repealing Illegal Freedom and Liberty Excises (RIFLE) Act. Under current law, there is a $200 tax on the transfer and purchase of firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act. This legislation would remove the existing $200 tax on firearms sold to law-abiding gun owners. [More]

The issue isn’t $200.

“0% chance of being enacted,” anyway…

Who Allows Them to Get Away with It?

Ron DeSantis Mocks State GOP’s Lack of Support for Open Carry: ‘Are We Florida or Are We San Francisco?’ [More]

That’s what years of supporting “the lesser of two evils” vs. taking a hit now and sending an unequivocal message to the party for who they’d better put up next time gets us.

Then again, what the hell do I know?

Here We Have Idaho…?

Idaho Gun Owner Found Not Guilty in Self-Defense Case – An Idaho gun owner from Kuna was found not guilty by a jury of his peers recently in a case that some are questioning why the gun owner was charged in the first place. [More]

Meet the prosecutor. Evidently, she takes her oath as seriously as she takes a dog’s.

She was endorsed by a self-described “staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment.”

Think he might reconsider…? We could ask…

Now They’re Just F_ing with Us

That fact that they were taken off today’s schedule and postponed for a day or two is not really the interesting part. The interesting part is that the anti-gunners all seemed to know while people coming to testify against them did not. [More]

You can tell a lot about people by how they treat those they feel more powerful than.

Is anyone dumb enough to believe they have “friends across the aisle”? Or in Oregon, true friends on either side?

California Dreamin’

In a disappointing turn for California gun owners, Assembly Bill 1092 – a proposed reform that would have extended the lifespan of concealed carry permits (CCWs) from two to four years – failed to pass through the Assembly Public Safety Committee. [More]

Seven Democrats and two Republicans, with one of them a Vichycon squish on guns… what did they think was going to happen? Pass pro-gun bills in California: Good one.

And they’re not even close to talking about the actual right.

How did the place turn blue?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

We’re the Only Ones Second Responding Enough

90 shell casings found outside home after shooting… A Midtown man said it took too long for officers to arrive as his home was being used for cover in an exchange of gunfire. The shooting took place at an Airbnb moments after an argument during a large gathering early Saturday morning. [More]

When seconds count…

Don’t the damn perps know the damn rules?

Or were they counting on them?

Survival Malpractice

What do you do if you’re an innocent person, you’re not doing anything wrong and somebody OC sprays you…? [Watch]

For starters, develop the situational awareness of a clam colony…

No way would I let that sketchy guy be that close to me, let alone turn my back on him and then go into phone drone mode…

A Zero Sum Game

DOJ and ATF Repeal Zero Tolerance Policy, Major Second Amendment Win for the Trump Administration [More]

I want to see what still triggers revocations — and consistency of decisons– before I get too excited, which I won’t do anyway because there will still be an ATF with the power to destroy Americans’ lives over exercising their right in a way the government, with no legitimate delegated authority, doesn’t want to allow.

In the Kapu Tradition

That’s right. In one vote, this bill went from targeting .50 caliber rifles to banning all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, adding new definitions like “assault shotgun” and “fixed magazine,” restricting magazine capacity, and even creating new criminal penalties. [More]

And this crap will continue to happen because SCOTUS allows it and keeps sending mixed signals.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringe’ Is

The US Supreme Court refused to question New York’s 2022 gun restrictions, including the state’s limits on concealed-carry licenses and its ban on weapons in buses, parks and crowded venues. The justices without comment turned away an appeal by six New York residents who said the restrictions infringe the Constitution’s Second Amendment and fly in the face of recent Supreme Court rulings bolstering gun rights. [More]

As noted many times before over the years, all the Supreme Court has to do to allow blatant infringements of our fundamental rights to prevail is… nothing.

People in power don’t give it up unless there’s a credible “or else” behind demands.

No Brag, Just Fact

But what if it’s true? Is it really pride to note ignorant dwarfs are making claims against what’s yours?

We’re the Only Ones in Retrospect Enough

“If you had just told me that that night, I never would have arrested you.” [Watch]

So he says. But cops are allowed to lie. But say the lead investigator was a “good” one- you have no way of knowing that or if he’s a typical “Only One” trying to find something to hang you with. A couple days in jail is nothing compared to what you could get railroaded into. And don’t even try and pull “a few bad apples” around here.

The best advice is still “Don’t talk to the police.” But do tell your attorney EVERYTHING.

Sounds like this kid had a crappy one, because if the DGU really was that cut and dried, a competent lawyer would have gotten his client absolved without gambling with risks…

Not Far Enough

It is not enough to merely undo the damage of the Biden administration by deporting all illegal immigrants. There must be a moratorium on all immigration into the United States from culturally incompatible Third World countries. [More]

Now show me a First World Country where immigrants won’t overwhelmingly support citizen disarmament…
