Gee. It’s almost like I’m right or something.
So, the spokesman for “libertarian” CATO is a Democrat?
But…but…but Amy Swearer…
Y’ever get the feeling the Judas Goats might be leading the herd, and no-compromisers like NAGR are the ones we should have been following…?

And yes, the anti-gun position IS immoral.
Anyone who needs that explained has no business writing about the Second Amendment, let alone being considered a leading authority on it.
I’m going to start calling his site The Load.
American gun owners got quite a chuckle nine months ago when California Gov. Gavin Newsom was gifted a Sig Sauer P365-Xmacro pistol while appearing on podcaster Shawn Ryan’s Tennessee-based program, and their amusement is continuing as media reports note the far-left Democrat still can’t get his pistol because of Golden State gun control laws. [More]
And Newsom doesn’t care. He doesn’t have to.
From Texas Scorecard, via email:
How that translates into electability is anybody’s guess, but anyone who says Texas will go solidly and reliably “red” may have a point, if you go back to the original understanding of the term.
And that’s just the way Joe Rogan likes it.

Courageous Tibet Refuses to Succumb to CCP Repression… [More]
Gun laws in Tibet are governed by the strict national regulations of the People’s Republic of China, which enforce some of the world’s tightest controls. Civilian firearm ownership is generally prohibited, with exceptions limited to specific hunting permits or, occasionally, for certain ethnic minorities. Personal possession of firearms is forbidden, with guns primarily reserved for military, police, and approved security personnel. Violations, including unauthorized possession, carry severe penalties under Chinese law.

All the louder voices are out in force:
I see from a buildup of negative comments on X by those who refuse to consider the evidence that I can spend my time today trying to get those who will not see to look, or I can do something I find productive and rewarding.
We’ll see if anybody writes a “critique” outside of social media. From the arguments I’ve seen so far, deconstructing them won’t be hard– the trick is getting anyone to listen.
With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]
There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?
I mean, who would believe it if you told them that CNN would turn an Islamist terrorist attack on New York City into a tale of two brothers minding their own business until they were forced to protest the injustice of white supremacists who were committing an Islamophobic hate crime? [More]

I would bet that the vast majority of all NYPD officers never even touched a real firearm until after they joined the department and were sent to the range. After all, guns and gun owners are bad, right? [More]
That’s not far off from what a retired NYPD Sergeant and firearms instructor, whom I actually developed a cordial relationship with, told me over several evenings of drinks and cigars.
The bill does not force any retailer to provide firearm storage, nor does it micromanage the agreement between them and a firearm owner… Additionally, the bill does not mandate storage by any firearm owner, nor does it provide a pathway for others to do so without the owner’s consent. [More]
Those would have been my two main concerns.
I guess I’m lucky this is not a situation I’ll likely find myself in. You know, because I don’t own guns– evil, nasty things always going around killing people…
A new major federal court case has just been commenced in the US District Court of Hawaii challenging the state’s ban on non-residents being able to carry handguns in the state for self defense purposes… Alan Beck has set forth an impressive set of 35 pages of historical material that arguably can give rise to… a constitutional right to conceal carry nationwide.

Now, Dhillon has made no mention of being an experienced shooter. She’s not pretending that she’s an expert shot or anything like that. She’s learning. However, people criticizing her for not being an expert was troubling, to say the least. [More]

Of course they do:
A plan comes together and deliberately indifferent “gun groups” are letting it.
Chief Patron of HB217, Del. Helmer, is on record saying they want them all gone. Helmer, a Jew, clearly is not familiar with JPFO, or the history of disarmament of Jews in the 20th century, and the consequences thereof.
And not just these. He and his treasonous kind want them all but most are politically savvy enough to know that it’s too soon to show all theirs cards.
Not to criticize my friend Aaron Zelman, who is no longer around to offer rebuttal, but “bagel brain” is too excusing of evil. That Helmer has a distinguished military career makes it worse, in a Benedict Arnold kinda way.
Another thing worth repeating: When the hell is SCOTUS gonna slap down such nonsense and put an end to it? Because if they don’t do it before Republicans hand over the keys in the midterms and ’28, all those gun owners who didn’t vote and made this outcome inevitable are going to find out what doing it the hard way entails.

Prognosis
3% chance of being enacted
Rep. Thomas Massie addressed that and more when he introduced a House version (HR9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act) in 2024. Going back to that article reminded me that NRA downgraded him for voting against industry-approved gun control.
