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
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…

Cop commands him out of the car. Driver complies. Female cop runs over to the driver and yanks his pistol out of his holster and shoots him in the leg. [More]
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!
Heads We Win, Tails You Lose
Biden vetoes bipartisan bill that would have let Trump appoint more judges [More]
Right after getting his own gaggle of Nazgûl confirmed.
In the wake of November, Republicans are still letting the Democrats eat our lunch…? It’s hard to believe that’s not intentional.

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.

We’re the Only Ones Roid-Raging Enough
Terrence Murray, 31, was charged with one count of assault and battery on a family or household member, one count of improper storage of a firearm, one count of vandalizing property, and two counts of possessing steroids and testosterone, which are class E drugs… [More]
And if he pulled this on you and you put him down your life would be effectively over.

And Jess sent me this, but when I looked saw it’s from 2016. Still…
Evidently the frustrated animal’s name is Jason Woods. A verbal warning to him is like a “F*** you” to the citizen he threatened, and his co-thugs standing around not yanking his leash deserve lashes as well.
I know, it’s not fair to judge until you goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots, but correspondent Doc S puts things in perspective.
When Grabbers Collide
“There is no way that I want California to accidentally help these extremists trigger a constitutional convention where they, you know, rewrite the Constitution to restrict voting rights, to eliminate reproductive health access and so forth,” said Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco). [More]
Scott Wiener calling anyone an extremist is rich.
That said, I don’t want “our” side calling for a Con-Con, either.
And back anything that thwarts an expanded Newscum dystopia…

We’re the Only Ones Pummeling Enough
The office of New York’s attorney general released body camera footage Friday showing the fatal beating of a state prisoner this month by correctional officers who punched and kicked him repeatedly while he was handcuffed on an infirmary bed. [More]
Maybe he lifted a finger…
Y’notice these things always seem to happen under Democrat rule…?

Gun Talk Redux
In This Hour: — David Codrea from War On Guns on how to become an effective gun rights activist. — President Jimmy Carter and his legacy of pushing gun bans. — What are the most accurate hunting rifles? [Listen]
We covered quite a bit in the first half hour, including a good way to get involved, realistic expectations for the incoming Trump administration, and a key to assessing whose voices to heed…
Here’s yesterday’s Gun Talk Hour 3 discussion with host Tom Gresham for those who missed it…

I’ll be joining in for a bit at around 4:00pm Eastern.
Up in Smoke
THAT’ll Teach ’em
Four teenagers arrested after crashing an allegedly stolen Kia during a police pursuit in Edina have been released from custody as prosecutors weigh charges against two of them… Eden Prairie police spokeswoman Joyce Lorenz said two of those arrested were 16 years old, one was 17 and one was 15. All have been released, Lorenz said. [More]
No, of course we can’t tell you who they are.
Who thinks this is the last we’ll hear of them?

Mexican Standoff
60 Minutes Gets Dragged on Twitter/X Over Story Praising Gun Control Policies in Mexico [More]
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be dragged and often, and by someone who knows how.
They had a chance to sustain real journalism about guns and Mexico with Sharyl Attkisson, but instead decided that didn’t fit the approved narrative. They could’a been contenders instead of DSM bums, which is what they are, let’s face it.
