While Rome Burns

But…but…but she’s a Gun Sense Candidate (as well as a radical communist sympathizer, so figure that one out).

It looks like Spencer Pratt thinks “You can never have enough guns in your house.”

Don’t worry, our illustrious leaders are hard at work making political ads like this illegal (anybody see a disclaimer or AI/satire notice?). Figures Brian Fitzpatrick would be on board to give Democrats the fraudulent claim of being “bipartisan.”

Not a Good Look

They seem like reasonable questions for voters to want answers to.

Then again, I thought all mine were, too, and while he answered some, he ignored others.

It didn’t have to be this way.

And once more, NRA shows it has learned nothing:

They’re still smarting over the last time they tried to f_ him over with a fraudulent replacement because they wanted to insert Fix NICS into the reciprocity bill.

Next time NRA begs you for money, tell them you’re sending it to Massie instead.

The Bestest Infringements Ever!

Electronic record-keeping would become the default under another proposed rule, which would allow Form 4473s and Acquisition and Disposition Records to be generated, stored, and maintained electronically. Not only would this make record-keeping more convenient for dealers, but it would also improve firearm tracing for law enforcement since digital records are faster and easier to search than paper files.

What could go wrong? Especially if administrations change…?

I’m wondering why this is listed under “Big Wins for Gun Owners”…

There I go blackpilling again.

Look, I get that there is only so much they can do because “law,” and think I understand incrementalism as well as the next guy, but the way I see “gun influencers” gushing over this and over Cekada makes some apologists for and abettors in infringements.

There are ways to encourage moves to roll back the oppression that don’t require gun owners to end up with sore knees and from a lot of what I’ve seen, Anon has a point.

We’re the Only Ones Deplaned Enough

Loaded ammunition magazine found on Frontier flight at DIA belonged to a ‘law enforcement officer,’ airline says [More]

In case you needed more proof to substantiate that they’re more qualified to keep and bear arms than you or me…

Who was he? Was he an air marshal? How did he get thought TSA? It seems none of the officials want to give more details– no doubt because us non-LEOs just wouldn’t understand.

None Dare Call It Treason

One participant explicitly frames it as “a global anti-authoritarian movement,” connecting U.S. officials with “colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly.” [More]

Add to that foreign agents for the Chicoms

What’s funny is AI tells me she was a 2026 “gun sense candidate” but I can’t find anything else to substantiate it, so we’re either dealing with another “hallucination” or a multifaceted cleanup effort.

Deliberately Uncaged Wild Animal Attacks

Memorial Drive shooting suspect went to prison over previous shootout with police, sources confirm [More]

Don’t worry. Those who decided he could be trusted outside of custodial care won’t suffer any personal repercussions.

Funny, how this report doesn’t mention the armed citizen who intervened. (Pro tip to the ones that do: “Marine” should be capitalized.)

I just don’t have time to watch this DA press conference, but am told:

The head of the Cambridge Police as well as the Colonel of the MSP did not acknowledge the role of the “civilian” in this, only the bravery of the responding officers, who mostly arrived after the shooting was done.

Sounds like a job for “diversion-based programs“…

Charlie’s Idea of Great R&R

“Assistant US attorney Charles Strauss Jr,” Peterson said. “He was actually on site for the raid. He actually orchestrated and coordinated the raid. It wasn’t done with law enforcement. It was done through the prosecution. So, the prosecution actually was the ones who did the raid, orchestrated it, and it was because of the bipartisan Safer Communities Act…the US assistant US attorney, actually told my attorney that Peterson will never traffic firearms again. That was one of his statements.” [More]

His LinkedIn page says he’s still employed…

Lipstick on a Pig

Tomorrow the House will bring my NICS reporting bill for a vote! My bill aims to reduce the number of false denials created by the gun background check system. NICS disproportionately cheats law abiding minorities out of their right to keep & bear arms. [More]

The whole idea of a prior restraint on the right of the people to keep and bear arms would have killed the Constitution in its crib. That said, I understand the theory of incrementalism, how it’s been used by Democrats with great success to “normalize” infringements, and how dancing around the edges can be a more effective tactic.

But that said, if Massie really wants to throw it in their faces and expose NICS as being less about background checks and more about identifying who owns what, he should introduce the Blind Identification Database System (BIDS) Act.

A Decree from On High

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed… And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

See, that’s why tyrants used to do it.

The Founders’ Republic added representation.

So I just got an order from the Census Bureau with the unequivocal mandate:

YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW

It does quite a bit more than count us, and for purposes those who conceived it would never have approved.

That said, I see the same executive action that will change the 4473 is across the board. I wonder if the No Kings crowd will decide to mass defy compliance.

Aside from the general intrusiveness and tedium of completing the rest of the online form, two questions make me wonder about a Fifth Amendment conflict:

Seeing how a Democrat-ruled VA tried to disarm veterans who needed help managing their finances, I’m wondering if this information on file about “difficulties” from “mental and emotional conditions “could be abused by a later administration to try and disqualify a citizen from gun ownership. Could completing this section be considered self-incrimination?

F_ these foreign and domestic enemies.

Your Friend Across the Aisle

Stephen Cooper, a Satanist biological male who identifies as a woman named Katrina DeVille and is running as a Democratic Socialist in the 2026 primary for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, has been forced to delete a campaign-related video showing him at a gun range shooting at targets that included President Donald Trump. [More]

I’m confused by all the condemnation. Shouldn’t we be celebrating gun owner diversity?

Besides, It’s Not THEIR Money…

States consider drones to stop school shootings [More]

Good grief. Everything but what’s needed.

Why do I picture bureaucrats sitting around a meeting table cracking each other up with increasingly ludicrous proposals?

“The drones can … spray pepper, and even knock active shooters down”…? Stop! I can’t breathe…

And it sounds like much of this is in Republican states…
