Expect plenty of bad-mouthing to the DSM once he’s settled into “life’s next chapter.”

Gun-Free School Zones & Shootings Statistic (2024 Updated) [More]
I don’t know if there’s enough to establish a direct correlation/causation link, but it sure is curious how shootings go up with more political and media demands for and enactment of gun laws…
I’d like to see a study showing a timeline for that. Perhaps this could be a useful application for these AI programs we’re told can sort through stuff and reach conclusions it would otherwise take people years to do…

The Chi-Town Democrat convention and Democrat urban areas…? Sure, some might spill over elsewhere, but for the most part it won’t be equal distribution. I suspect we in the red zones will need more popcorn than ammo.
Let’s show the electorate, especially suburban moms, what they’ve been voting for. Let’s let the left turn on each other in all their ugliness while we, whom the FBI smears as “the greatest threat,” sit back peaceably but prepared should any be foolish enough to wander over for the purpose of engagement…

Yep.

Overloading the Lifeboat
America is only 4% of Earth’s population. If only 1% of the rest of Earth moves here, that would crush all essential services. I am ringing the alarm bell, because the flood of illegals is crushing the country! [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Sobering Thoughts
Prediction: They will issue a ruling addressing the minutia of the procedural rules and punt this back down to the lower courts. They will avoid the issue entirely and thus free and exonerate themselves of holding anyone in the FedGov accountable. [More]
With all the video “gunfluencers” out there getting our hopes up that Cargill will be the beginning of the end for ATF’s “rulemaking” shenanigans, Herschel gives his reasons for believing we could end up disappointed.
Man, I sure hope he’s wrong.
But he’s never not thoughtful.
UPDATES
Looks like I’ll use this post as today’s aggregator:

Supreme Court appears torn over challenge to gun ‘bump stocks’ [More]
Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson we expected. This is what worries me:
Chief Justice John Roberts, like Kavanaugh a potential key vote if the court is divided, said little to indicate which way he was leaning.

That goes beyond GIGO and into hallucination and libel territory.
Then again, I was checking to see how the work was propagating and ran across “Meet Preston,” and he doesn’t seem to have me embezzling checks from anybody…
Zero Tolerance is No Virtue
The bill, introduced on Tuesday, will “provide firearm licensees an opportunity to correct statutory and regulatory violations, and for other purposes” and says the “Attorney General may not bring an enforcement action to revoke, or deny a renewal of, a license for a violation of any provision of this chapter or any implementing regulation thereof on the basis of a self-reported violation.” [More]
Good. I was getting tired of posting photos of inspectors with apparent slack stains and then having to deal with threats from U.S. Marshals.
Although I wouldn’t expect Senate Dems to let the bill go anywhere, it’s not on her GovTrack page yet, so I can’t give you a prognosis percent, but my bet is low single-digit.
Whistleblower Answers Questions About ATF/DOJ Fast and Furious Malfeasance
Mike and I were not only ready to go with it (albeit unwilling to burn a source and post under a requested embargo), but after the mainstream press has been on it for days now, there was only one place hosting the letter (other stories only talked about it) from the attorney for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association to Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa detailing not just the setup for the grenade operation, but also, and importantly, about the retaliation his ATF agent-client was subjected to by DOJ management for testifying at a House Oversight Committee hearing. [More]
A name from earlier investigations of years past once more brings ATF’s criminal “gunwalker” plot to the front burner with a new book and an exclusive interview.
An Idea Whose Time Has Come
A bill introduced in the Georgia House this week could expand the presence of guns on private property. The bill would make property owners legally liable if a gun owner gets hurt on property where they aren’t allowed to carry a gun. [More]
That could make my cards obsolete:
So… does it have any chance of passing or is this pre-election posturing?

The Let’s F*** FFLs Who Obey the Law Act of 2024
Say goodbye to your favorite FFL because your state legislature is about to run them all out of business. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses HB 2118, which is now set to be put on the floor in the Senate tonight, and is expected to pass. [Watch]
Fortunately, the black market won’t have to comply with any of this targeted harassment.

We’re the Only Ones Suddenly Finding Our Courage Enough
The Uvalde police who stood in the hall for over an hour as over 40 children and teachers were shot (21 died) were quick to arrest parents of the victims like Brett Cross for making public outbursts at County Commissioners they accuse of a coverup. [More]
Bear has something to say about that.

No wonder they’re so obsessed with “ghost guns”!

A Mistake or a Ploy?
The Democrats are going to partner with this and they’re going to tie to this at their own demise. [Watch]
If that’s so, remember your Napoleon.
But also, if bigger issues are the economy and the border, they need a distraction in up-for-grabs states.

Police find scores of guns at French star Delon’s home [More]
It’s sounds like he’s far enough gone to where there’s no point in hauling him in, and whichever squabbling heir thought it would work to their advantage to rat him out is going to see the estate diminished in fines.
I guess he wasn’t about to be Charlie, either.

What filthy politics must be in play for this to even be an issue on as story of such public importance that’s being exploited to ratchet down on our rights?
If I had the information, I’d defy this robed tyrant in an instant and protect my sources to the end.
