BFA

Ramaswamy v. Acton: Choice is clear on gun rights, even if Dr. Lockdown masks her views [More]

We know she’ll be a disaster, and I guess how big of one depends on how feckless Republicans do.

He’s not my first choice, and I have real problems with his “loony Heritage American beer-guzzling, burger-gobbling beach bums venerated mediocrity over excellence” ingratitude and arrogance. And I’m not the only one.

It’s not so much a matter of being pure, and of the perfect being the enemy of the good, as it is the legitimate question that no “gun groups” will acknowledge, let alone answer: Who, in the long run, will end up doing the most damage to 2A?

I guess because Amy will be open borders/pathway to citizenship amnesty and Vivek will just be more H-1Bs, that kind of answers it, but that doesn’t mean I have to like the “choices” being offered. And I also have to weigh in how rewarding Vichycons out of lesser-of-two-evils desperation has gotten us to where we are now.

I guess when I’m in the booth I’ll make my choice, and then see, based on results, whether it made any difference.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Will any of Chardonamy’s behavioral issues be enough to dissuade Democrat voters?

A Conspicuous Absence

2026 BFA-PAC Grades and Endorsements for the Ohio Primary [More]

Nothing to say about the main event?

I have.

In a way, the silence is a positive– it may show the leadership is aware of member sentiment, that not all are kneejerk swallowing the establishment line, and that they want to keep their options open.

Safe Storage

The bill does not force any retailer to provide firearm storage, nor does it micromanage the agreement between them and a firearm owner… Additionally, the bill does not mandate storage by any firearm owner, nor does it provide a pathway for others to do so without the owner’s consent. [More]

Those would have been my two main concerns.

I guess I’m lucky this is not a situation I’ll likely find myself in. You know, because I don’t own guns– evil, nasty things always going around killing people…

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

BFA testifies for SB 278 to permit monetary, punitive damages against cities with gun control [More]

The trouble is it’s ultimately paid for by the productive sector which typically doesn’t vote for Democrats. Personally, I’d like to see public canings, but I understand these things are done incrementally…

A Good First Step

A bill working its way through the Ohio legislature would allow residents to sue cities for punitive and/or monetary damages if they try to ignore the state’s preemption laws on guns. [More]

OK, but it’ll be the productive segment paying for the sins of the Democrats. Once that passes, do another making violators personally liable.

Speech and debate clauses weren’t intended to be a license for treason.

I remember getting derailed the last time I made that argument…

One Man Can Make a Difference

Ordinary Ohio citizen calls out illegal Cincinnati festival gun ban — and wins! [More]

This is advocacy activism at its finest.

Having seen the alternative, stories like this restore my faith and inspire me.

We all see ways every day where we can make a difference. Anyone who can’t think of any isn’t trying and anyone who doesn’t try isn’t helping.

Hush, Hush

Ohio House Bill 331 and Ohio Senate Bill 214 propose revisions to the Ohio Revised Code, eliminating suppressors and mufflers from the definition of dangerous ordnance and removing language that mandates suppressor registration under the NFA. [More]

I guess it doesn’t hurt to build redundancy into a system.

I’m just the type who thinks “shall not be infringed’ oughta cover everything, in Everytown…
