Congress - The War on Guns

Following Established Precedent

Biden Commerce Secretary Refuses to Answer House Chair on Firearms Export Licenses [More]

Let one get away with it and they all get cocky.

Hit ’em Where It Hurts

Congress is in session just three days before a partial government shutdown begins March 1.

We need lower spending levels and real policy wins.

If you can't get either, why proceed with higher than Pelosi spending and preserving all Biden's policies?

We need an update. pic.twitter.com/FMFbVJWfP8

Let’s Find Out What He’s Made Of

BREAKING: 74 House Representatives urge Speaker Johnson to REJECT a permanent reauthorization of the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 (a.k.a. archaic gun control) in a GOA-backed letter ahead of the law's expiration on March 8th, 2024. pic.twitter.com/5R6G7lq7oo

Although I’d prefer it it had been his idea.

Democrats Offer Anti-Gun Insurrectionist in New York Special Election

And what’s worse is that while Suozzi showed he perfectly understands the ultimate last resort provision against tyranny behind the Second Amendment, he actively works to undermine it in his quest for power over the lives of his countrymen. [More]

Suozzi’s idea of “gun violence prevention” is to disarm you and me and start an armed uprising.

Going with What Works

Hunter Biden faces backlash after defying subpoena with press conference ‘stunt’: ‘Hold him in contempt!’ [More]

Why not? It worked with Eric Holder…

Oh, wait…

Speaking of ‘Obstructions to Official Proceedings’…

Far Left anti-Israel Protesters Interrupt and Shut Down Tony Blinken’s Testimony in Senate Appropriations Hearing – No Mass Arrests, No Transfer to the Gulag, No indictments with 1512 Charges [More]

Well, it’s not like they’re Oath Keepers or anything…

Domestic Enemies List

House Democrats brazenly undermine that which the Founders recognized as “necessary to the security of a free State.” [More]

At least they were arrogant enough about it to leave us their names.

Doublespeak

Texas Republican will nominate Trump for Speaker of the House [More]

So what’s it going to be?

Design by Committee

Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance: ATF’s Assault on the Second Amendment: When is Enough Enough? [Watch]

For those of you who have five hours…

UPDATE

In a vacuum, ATF is neither inherently good or inherently bad… like all branches or forms of government, ATF is imbued with certain coercive powers that can be wielded either properly or improperly. [Watch}

I’ve heard enough.

Who picked her to speak for gun owners? 97percent?

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
