Once More Unto the Breach

Thousands of biometric gun safes are being recalled due to concerns they can allow unauthorized access, federal officials said, citing a lawsuit alleging a 12-year-old boy died from a firearm obtained from a breached safe. [More]

So they give it up to more than just the feds…?

Biometric, eh…?

Weasel Wording with Winchester II

WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike F writes:

I contacted Winchester Customer Support and got the same response that the other gentleman received.

The same non-response…

Based on the number of gun owners contacting them, that is, a handful, they feel they can ignore inquiries. That tells us something about their management. It also tells us about something else.

It’s nice to know they’re not all like that.

Deal with the Devil

Kennedy cuts deal with Schumer on veterans’ gun rights amendment [More]

No worries. Chris Murphy promises to torpedo the deal.

And they’ll pressure Kennedy to come through on his end with a threat to blame Republicans.

Speaking of Zero Tolerance for FFL Errors…

*Glock 22 40 caliber REVOLVER??
*Glock Model 27 45 (it is supposed to be a 40)
*Browning B799 (it should be a BT-99) 12 ga

This wouldn’t be a big deal, but…the ATF is shutting down gun dealers for minor paperwork errors… [More]

I came across this 2008 post while looking for something else. The original link to the spreadsheet is no more so I had to download one from the Wayback Machine.

Hope He Likes Rice

Chinese authorities have arrested Washington state Sen. Jeff Wilson, a Republican, for arriving with a gun in his luggage at Hong Kong International Airport Friday night. [More]

What does that say about Portland International TSA letting him through?

And you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t just accept a media “revolver” designation at face value.

Collective Guilt

“He is unequivocally mentally unstable, and he is racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, vulgar and prone to violence,” Romney said, per the book. “There is simply no rational argument that could lead me to vote for someone with those characteristics. I believe your endorsement of him severely diminishes you morally … and that you must withdraw that support to preserve your integrity and character.” [More]

And remember: Trump is just an avatar.

That’s what My Man Mitthead and the Swamp Vichycons think about anyone who votes for the MAGA agenda.

The Road to Perdition

‘The left has really let us down.’ Why many American Jews feel abandoned [More]

Seeing as how the ones being talked about here spent their adult lives voting me and mine closer to the camp, why should I feel sorry for them?

I saw a troubling Twitter/X post that I believe merits further serious investigation, especially since it looks like we’re all being dragged along for the ride in a politically and media-fueled feeding frenzy that exploits our demands for justice and our fear.

We all have an existential interest in this.

It’s stipulated the person in the video sides with the Palestinians. Can we get a similar stipulation for those stirring the pot? The question for us, as “jurors,” is if her testimony is credible or if we could honestly assign a “guilty” verdict on Hamas misfiring rockets beyond a reasonable doubt.

And yes, of course, we all saw the parachutes. That’s a different discussion. I’m only asking about the hospital incident. If you can demonstrate Sara El-Yafi’s arguments are false, I’m asking you to be an expert witness and educate us on the “jury.”

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Here’s some more fuel for the fire.

Thing is… (grab the video before they block it again)

Feel the Bern

Bernie Sanders siphons off $75,000 in campaign donations to family organization [More]

And like the Sham-Wow! infomercials said, but wait, there’s more!

Now He Belongs to the Ages

Agustin Blazquez’s THE KILLER FLIES OF LUXOR, a novel about an artist’s escape from Cuba into a dream-world of art and movies, illustrates Braque’s insight that “Art is a wound turned into light.” [More]

Readers should remember him from here and from WOG’s previous incarnation.

I’m told that “the book he was working on at the end of his life will be published November 1st and is now available for preorder…”

As always, I never ask readers to support anything I don’t support myself:

We’re the Only Ones Estranged Enough

“I am shocked and deeply saddened to learn that my estranged son, with whom I have had very minimal contact over many years, is the suspect in this afternoon’s shooting of the two La Vergne police officers… Despite my efforts and guidance in the early and teenage years, my son, John Drake Jr., now 38-years-old, resorted to years of criminal activity and is a convicted felon. He has not been a part of my life for quite some time.” [More]

He sure made a point of distancing himself.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Repelled Enough

Security video shows three masked men carrying guns shout “Seattle Police” while each trying to kick in the door. The homeowner grabbed a gun and fired multiple shots through the door at the intruders. [More]

Ah, the old Joe Biden Defense worked this time!

Except from the sound of it he may have had one of those guns not suitable for self-defense and made only for killing people…

As always, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need a “He was being such a scary thug I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.
