With Friends Like These

After explaining why United States v. Miller protects arms with a reasonable relationship to militia efficiency, the brief declares that the “general consensus” is that automatic weapons are not protected. [More]

Is he a friend?

Or does he see which way the wind is blowing and is trying to secure the main infringement?

Enemy, Foreign and Domestic

Mamdani posts emotional message mourning accused knife-wielding killer —and is slammed by victim’s family… The inmate was identified as 41-year-old Clarence Woodward, an ex-con with nearly 30 arrests on his rap sheet, who was found unresponsive in his cell shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday while awaiting trial for murder in the gruesome 2024 attack at a Bronx laundromat. [More]

Knowing the constituency he appeals to, is it any wonder this Marxist immigrant wants to ban your guns?

Bob Avakian (BA) is the most important political thinker and leader in the world today. Just ask him.

Curious results from Guidestar/Candid:

Bobavakian

So, either he’s one of the few who believe his own BS, or he’s not paying his “fair share”?

Another Stark Reminder

He wants to know and he still hasn’t gotten back to me on this…?

I’d like to know before I show up to promote the keystone right only to be told I can’t be armed if I need to go inside any buildings… and for the “reformed” NRA with pledges of a new transparency, it looks like the same old avoidance/ignoring of unwanted questions persists.

Quantity Has a Quality All Its Own

Overall, Americans own approximately 461 million firearms, consisting of approximately 208 million handguns, 154 million rifles, and 99 million shotguns. [More]

And DGUs are back in the millions.

Yeah, well how do they vote, if at all?

Much Ado About…What, Exactly?

The NFA Ruling That Changes Everything—And Changes Nothing… Every advance we have made toward restoring the Second Amendment has been within a framework that the government built and can rebuild. [More]

That, and where’s the “guidance” on home-builds, private transfers, gun trusts, SOTs, interstate travel, sentence enhancements…?

Yeah, I know, I know, would I rather have Kamala…?

Cuccinelli to Argue Militia Clause Protects AR-15s in Supreme Court Brief

300blk LaRue Tactical AR Pistol 768x432

“That is the focus I would bring to an amicus brief: establishing a constitutional principle that not only prevents ‘military’ characteristics from becoming a constitutional liability, but makes them an affirmative basis for protection.” [More]

The Framers put the prefatory clause in there for a reason.

Luck of the Draw

Suspension of Couple’s Gun Rights Because Their College Student Daughter Drew Allegedly Threatening Images Violated Second Amendment [More]

Jeez, if that’s all it takes, I’ve drawn threatening “gun violence” images:

Cafarella recommended to then-Sgt. Russell that Plaintiffs sign an acknowledgement of wrongdoing as a condition of having their licenses reinstated. [More]

Good thing I don’t have any licenses to revoke for parasites like this character to attach themselves to.

Nassau again

That’s pretty good slop their hogs have their snouts in.

Once More Unto the Breach, Dear Friends

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is responding to a cybersecurity incident affecting a standalone system. [More]

A “major incident”…? Ransomware…??

Kinda makes you want to get your name and what you’ve got into their system, doesn’t it? No…?

Anyone Who’s Ever Properly Raised Children Can See the Problem Here

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is pushing back against a growing wave of state and local regulations targeting firearms dealers, arguing that proposals aimed at tightening oversight threaten the survival of small gun shops rather than improving public safety. [More]

With no personal consequences for thumbing their noses at Bruen, what do we expect?

Toy Story

Firearm ‘Expert’ Who Testified a Toy was a Machinegun Still Working for ATF [More]

At first glance I thought Lee Williams was talking about ol’ Kelvin “Insert-Magazine-Backwards” Crenshaw (Note now-discontinued Examiner links go to Internet Archive, so expect slow loading).

It also reminds me of the artifical contortions the JBTs go through to entrap Americans out of their unalienable rights on invented technicalities, like we’re gong to use duct tape, ties, and chains to workaround unconstitutional infringements.

And it reminds me of what the evil bastards did to David Olofson.

“Reforms” and gushing from some “gun rights leaders” notwithstanding, never forget, the Framers would have considered ATF and everything it stands for an abomination. Less aggressive cancer is still cancer.

We’re the Only Ones Ganging Up Enough

Follow-up to this:

Between 2007 and 2015, former police officers diverted roughly 2,000 guns awaiting destruction from police stores. The firearms were removed from government records and supplied to gangs on the Cape Flats. [More]

Hey, how else are you going to be able to “cut the throat of whiteness“?

Goodbye, Dolly

And she was a pioneer in gender reassignment surgery:

“This guy was really coming on to me and it was scary as it could be and so he just kept on and I just really, because being country girls and at that time, you know, I had a gun so I pulled it out and I said ‘Look,’ it was basically what they kind of based that [on], ‘if you touch me one more time I’ll change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot,'” Parton told the interviewer. “That’s kind of basically where that whole thing [started], because I’d told that story years before and so, so that’s kind of where that came from.”

I’ll always remember her for her namesake museum.

CMP Converted M14 Sales Upends ATF’s Once a Machine Gun Rule

That the situation is confusing is hardly surprising. ATF cognitive dissonance and contradictory rules could be considered the rule rather than the exception without hyperbole. And in this case, the position the Bureau had previously established is clear… [More]

Just what (and who) does “special authorization” authorize?
