A cursory risk/benefit trade-off analysis says the haul wasn’t worth the price.
But as dumb as they are, their accomplice still has the rifles, although his life can’t be very good at the moment. He’s gotta know his “friends” have already given him up.

I’m not going to link to the @$$#)!e because no sense feeding trolls, which is what he is, by rewarding him with attention and clicks, plus the responses are exactly what you’d expect.
I did go to his main page and found he’s a damn Afghan refugee rescued from that $#!+hole and brought here at 16, and who has since thanked the people who took him in by hating and undermining their traditions and values.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue“!

While the man who was killed has not been identified, the homeowner is sending a message to the family now grieving their loved one. “I apologize. Taking a life was never my goal. I wasn’t trying to kill him. I was just trying to save myself,” he said. [More]
Way to give police and prosecutors plenty to chew on if they ever decide to look closer for disconnects and try for a criminal prosecution. Way to give the family plenty if they go for a civil settlement.
Does he think either are motivated by a goal of absolving him?
For a guy who just had successful DGU, he’s sure got poor survival skills.
So DOJ is just following orders?
Precedent says that’s no excuse:
In the case of the US v. Josef Altstötter, et al., an American military tribunal tried members of the Reich Ministry of Justice as well as jurists and prosecutors of the People’s Court [Volksgericht] and Special Court [Sondergericht].
As for voting to change the law, what they’re saying is individual citizens in solid blue states are f_d by a tyranny of the majority. What they’re saying the Bill of Rights isn’t worth the parchment it’s printed on.
Update to “Bear Minimums“:
“Teachers successfully repelled the bear using pepper spray and a bear banger.”… Tamara Davidson, British Columbia’s minister of environment and parks, called the teachers who fought off the bear “true heroes,” adding that they were well-prepared…” [More]
Do government flacks know how to do anything but gaslight to keep the obvious from being questioned? If the teachers had been successful and well-prepared there wouldn’t be 11 mauling victims fighting for their lives.

November 22, 2013
50 years ago today a young president was gunned down in Dallas. Those of us alive at the time and old enough to be aware of the event will never forget where we were, how we heard the news, and how it shook our worldview of an America we’d assumed to be invulnerable in prosperity and power, and on course for an even greater destiny.
Looking back to that day, proponents of what they call “common sense gun safety laws” are decrying that there are still no mandatory so-called “universal background checks,” even as they dismiss fears validated by the federal government that “effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration…”
The same activists then dismiss fear of gun confiscation as “paranoia,” even though ample examples not only of intent, but of actual practice are readily observable to any who would look for them. But it is the contention that the Second Amendment stands as a bulwark of liberty that they seize on with the fiercest opposition, throwing out charges like “insurrectionist” at people who maintain that the right provides for resisting tyranny, and “treason” at those who pledge to defy and resist citizen disarmament attempts.
Under United States Code, treason is a capital crime, so such charges are quite revealing about the intent of those who level them.
On a day of remembrance when Americans of good faith should come together, what must we think of an extremist gun owner, and naturally a life member of the NRA, who would publicly affirm what is being called treason?
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable,” the gun owner asserted.
“Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country,” he conceded.
That’s a clear a rejection of the “monopoly of violence” society demanded by those who would remold ours. And “extremely unlikely” does not equate with “never.” He left that door open as a measure of last resort, when all other peaceable options had failed, essentially adopting a position where he, too, could be accused of treason and executed for it.
If they’re going to be consistent, it’s fair to assume that’s how the radical gun-grabbers want America and the world to remember John F. Kennedy.
A Kempsville High School assistant principal and his brother are facing charges stemming from an alleged conversation they had about threatening to hurt ICE agents for “kidnapping individuals” and a possible meeting with other like-minded individuals to discuss “ideas and plans,” according to a criminal complaint.

This is what parent entrust their children to?
He also said he recently bought an assault rifle, the complaint states, because “it utilizes the explosive rounds that are needed to penetrate the vests.”
What?
It’s conference day today at the Supreme Court and instead of going live Monday morning to tell you all the bad news, we decided to give it to you ahead of time. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses all 41 2A cases before SCOTUS on conference today so that you can understand the blood bath that will be Monday’s orders list. [Watch]
As noted before, all SCOTUS has to do to let bad law stand is…nothing, and real change won’t happen unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demands.

Appearing at a Veterans Day ceremony to score a photo-op hardly makes Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti a supporter of veterans … Instead, she ingratiated herself with hard left “progressives” by issuing a mayoral “Wear Orange” proclamation. [More]
Good letter and good points by WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M.
Letters to the editor are an often-overlooked tool by many gun owners that can get our voices outside of the echo chamber. I wrote a column back in 2009 trying to encourage more of it and giving some pointers gleaned from personal experience as to how to up your chances of getting published.
In an interview on the Shawn Ryan Show, Brian Harpole, Charlie Kirk’s head of security, publicly revealed text messages with Utah Valley University Police Chief Jeff Long in which they discussed the rooftop vulnerabilities and the chief vowed, “I got you covered.” [More]
Let me guess. Jeff still has a job.
Meanwhile, the Sheriff wants in on the dereliction/incompetence/complicity action:

Weisenburg and Thomas prepared from August 2024 to July 2025 to execute their plans, in which they allegedly intended to buy a boat, sail to Gonâve Island, kill every man on the island, overtake it by force, and take the women and children as sex slaves. [More]
At least they had realistic expectations.
Seriously, WTF???

The Council on American‑Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil‑liberties group, filed a federal lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott after he designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. CAIR called the designation “unconstitutional and defamatory.” [More]
Yeah. Just because they “have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world,’” is no reason to call them names.

“If our country falters because it is not prepared to accept – let’s be honest – to lose its children, to suffer economically because defence production will take precedence, then we are at risk,” he added. [More]
True dat. Too many today haven’t read their Clausewitz. That means whatever it takes to break the will of the people on the other side.
There’s a reason Washington warned against foreign entanglements. There’s a reason the Founders crafted the Second Amendment.
There’s a reason why France turned out differently than America.
And there’s a reason why those who lust for control want to eradicate those differences.

The CA legislature recently passed Assembly Bill 1263, which puts additional regulations on the sale and shipment of firearm parts and gunsmithing tools. Unfortunately, this means that there will be some new restrictions on how you order and how we ship firearm parts and gunsmithing tools to you. [More]
I wonder how they’d be able to find out if you had a trusted friend in a neighboring, freer state you could drive to order them for you.
