Our Pervocracy

Reps. Massie, Greene Call for Release of ‘Congressional Sexual Misconduct Fund List’ [More]

I’m still waiting to see the names on Epstein’s list…

Hello, Dolly. You gotta wonder how many votes have been turned and appointments confirmed by naked blackmail.

This seems as good a place as any to share an email I sent to the editor of American Handgunner asking him to edit out a line from a column he invited me to write (I’ll let you know when it’s published):

[W]ith the emerging scandal with Matt Gaetz on pretty damning charges of paid sex with a minor, I have made a suggested change on page two of the article — I’m no longer comfortable assessing him as “a good choice” for AG under the current cloud. If true, someone blackmailable would be a terrible choice, regardless of his understanding of the issue. So, I deleted a sentence marked by a strikethrough, and made a minor change to the next sentence, both in red. Your choice, of course, and it could just be politics. I go by what I’d do if someone falsely accused me of something so disturbing and aberrant, and resigning would not be on the table.

It’s Not an ‘Either/Or’

The Second Amendment Cannot Override First Amendment Rights. [More]

No one but a gaslighting liar would suggest that it can.

And that door swings both ways.

The ignorance and paranoia these evil bastards are spreading has no legitimate claim on our rights.

Speaking of Racial Disenfranchisement…

His research indicates that an overwhelming majority of initial denials, approximately 99%, are errors, disproportionately affecting Hispanic and Black males due to phonetic similarities in names within racial groups. [More]

Yes, we get it. We’ve gotten it for a long time. Gun control is racist.

So, when are self-annointed “black leaders” going to stop being self-serving sellouts to the Democrat machine, and when will its patronizing white politicians, “authorized journalists,” and assorted prohibitionists start being condemned for the insufferable bigots that they are?

Trump and Musk Immigration Stance Ignores MAGA Pledges and U.S. Education Failures

The whole point of the last election was to turn all that around. [More]

A sinking ship doesn’t need to take on more water, especially if it means excusing Democrats helping send it to the bottom.

ATF to Big Brother: Hold Our Beer

Did you know that every time you search for guns or ammo online, someone’s watching? Well you probably already know, but if you think it’s just the algorithms that feed you ads, think again—the ATF is also watching your searches. Worse, they use your digital activity to shape bans and enforcement actions. And no, we’re not fear mongering here. Published reports confirm that your searches are being tracked, analyzed, and even used to forecast so-called “threats.” [Watch]

The question then becomes what do Donald Trump and whomever he appoints to head the Bureau intend to do about this?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

TSA Facial Recognition Scanning Spreading, Part of Planned ‘Across The Board’ Biometric Future [More]

Get your own SKU/QR code!

And just imagine the AI-enhanced deep fake/identity theft opportunities for hackers and those let into the system with bribes!

The ultimate goal, of course, isn’t just to categorize travelers. How many millions of unvetted illegal immigrants are occupying territory in this country again who won’t be affected one bit…?

AZ Man Gives Feds Low-Hanging Fruit Gift Basket for Christmas

…Tamayo-Torres made postings on a social media platform threating to harm the President-elect of the United States, including that he was going to kill the President-elect and do violence to his family. [More]

And ATF/DOJ get to take credit for all his work!

Just look at those headlines!

The Children Weren’t Nestled All Snug in Their Beds

Houston man being robbed by children on Christmas shoots them, injuring 3 [More]

At lease we know who was naughty. Or would, if keeping the identities of young predators from the victim pool weren’t policy…

On the bright side, it’s a Christmas present for the prohibitionists, who get to add these child shootings to their “gun violence” stats…

Blast from the Past Part II

We talked a few month back about  George Gramlich, Editor of the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel sending me one of the few remaining signed magazines from Mike Vanderboegh’s smuggling exploits. [More]

I wasn’t sure how I was going to preserve it and decided over the weekend to put it in a hangable shadow box along with a sample of Threeperware from years gone by.

Arts and crafts were never my strong suit, but I like what I put together just fine:

I’ll get an engraving plate to affix to the bottom to read “Defy. Resist. Evade. Smuggle.” and my project will be complete.

I think my friend would have gotten a kick out of this, and I found the perfect place to hang it.

No Matter the Cost?

Costco defends DEI program as other major retailers drop controversial diversity push [More]

That’s bad enough but irrelevant to the reason I won’t join the one that opened just down the road:

At Costco, we don’t believe it’s necessary to bring firearms into our warehouses, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace.

Money that enriches their billionaire chairman enabled Obama and Biden to undermine RKBA. Not that oblivious/disinterested American consumers mind.

Besides, look how much they saved on eggs!

Worst Comes to Worst

Year in Review: The Worst of the Gun Industry in 2024 [More]

Judas goat Greg Lickenc…uh…brock carries on the contemptible betrayal of fellow gun owners exemplified by Ryan Busse and a cavalcade of gunkapos.

It’s fair to ask what kind of idiot/mole/embedded enemy (pretends to or actually falls) for solidarity with “Gun Culture 2.0” or 97Percent.
