There’s a New Kid in Town

[More/p.10]

As announced last week, the May/June issue, with my first column,
“‘Gun Owners for Trump’ Should be More than Campaign Window Dressing,” is available now at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic, and by scrolling down to page 73 at the above link.

I appreciate the opportunity to reach a new readership. I invite you to check it out and let them know what you think.

DOJ Investigation into California Gun Law Patterns and Practices Should be Expanded

A new request for DOJ investigation has been filed detailing Second Amendment and civil rights violations inherent in Illinois’ Firearms Owner Identification card (FOID) requirement. [More]

They showed deliberate indifference to the first civil rights complaint. Perhaps an adjusted attitude will allow them to consider this one.

Do You Know Who I Am? Anti-Gun Mayor Busted for DUI

It’s not hyperbole to conclude this drunk’s “passion” includes denying her countrymen God-given rights enshrined in a document she swore an oath to uphold. [More]

Who wants to submit their rights to the control of elitist reprobates who can’t– or won’t — control themselves?

Current Wild Swings of the Gun Control Pendulum

Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed. [More]

All this back-and-forth has got to stop.

Democrat ‘Civil War’ Means Party and Its Demands on Guns Will Move Farther to the Left

While the country as a whole may not be ready for an AOC White House bid, a potential coalition builder like Wes Moore is another matter altogether. [More]

They’re looking for someone even the radicals won’t attack. And counting on Republicans to blow it in the midterms through to ’28…

A Tale of Two Revolutions

In Contrasting Ideals, Faria not only introduces us to key “players” in both revolutions, like Maximilien Robespierre and other Reign of Terror figures like Jean-Paul Marat, whose differences with “Founding Fathers” like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson could not have been more pronounced. For rebellions that seemingly had so much in common at the outset, the goals of those driving them were antithetical. [More]

If you’re not familiar with the teachings of Dr. Miguel A. Faria, Jr., you’ve denied yourself the opportunity of learning from the best. If you are familiar, do yourself a favor by reading this, and your friends a favor by then recommending it to them.

Justice Department Punts on Complaint against Compromised Anti-Gun Judge

Yet despite clear evidence of bias, thanks to a U.S. Department of Justice official policy of deliberate indifference, such judges will remain on the bench. [More]

What’s that John F. Kennedy quote about making peaceful revolution impossible…?

AAR Redux

In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various topics surrounding Second Amendment rights, including the role of the ATF, legal challenges, and the implications of recent legislation such as Oregon’s Measure 114. The conversation also touches on the Aikens Accelerator case, expectations from Pam Bondi’s office, and the potential impact of Trump’s executive orders on gun rights. The episode features insights from David Codrea, a long-time contributor, who shares his perspectives on the current state of gun rights and the challenges faced by advocates. [Listen]

Last night’s program…

AAR Tonight

I’ll be on at 9 Eastern with a maduro in one hand and two fingers of the good stuff in the other. Go to the AAR website to listen/watch live/find a station near you.

Oregon Court Decision Sides Against Second Amendment and with Tyranny

If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored. [More]

Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?

Trump’s ‘Royal Road’ to Citizenship Leads in Wrong Direction for ‘Gun Rights’

Most are opposed to anyone outside of the government bearing arms, and it’s safe to assume once granted citizenship, they’ll vote that way. [More]

It shouldn’t just be about money, and a complete Bill of Rights culture, with a Second Amendment that precedent shows most will vote against, is what enabled this country to become so prosperous in the first place.

ATF Up to Old Tricks in Denying Attorney Fees on Bump Stock Case

If you want to fight for your rights against the unlimited power and treasure of the state, you’re on your own. That’s “the reasonableness of the government’s position.” [More]

We’re about to find out how different the new administration is from the old one when it comes to citizens being forced to fight for their rights.

Impact of Trump ‘Gender Ideology’ Order on Firearm Transactions to Be Determined

What this means is the Form 4473 will need to be revised again if ATF is to comply with the executive order. [More]

Don’t let this distract from a more basic argument.

Debate Over Nassau ‘Militia’ Focuses on Wrong Understanding of Founding Intent

It sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and Founding era thought leaders weren’t big on “select militias.” [More]

Letting those with an agenda redefine terms ignores the real argument.

Will Present Legal Arguments Undermine Future Efforts to Restore Second Amendment?

It’s taking care of our immediate needs. However, the Founders bequeathed us a constitution intended “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” If this is all we concern ourselves with, what are we bequeathing to them? Semiautomatic firearm technology that’s already 140 years old…? In a world where technological developments and breakthroughs are being introduced seemingly exponentially, what new “terrible implements” will become standard issue in the next 140 years? [More]

In avoiding legal traps today, care must be taken not to catch ourselves in a more dangerous one tomorrow.

Once More Unto the Breach

That was some needed time off but now it’s grindstone time again.

I’m going to focus today on publicizing three articles that posted while I was gone and then have to get to work on some new articles that will probably occupy the rest of the week. As such, please continue to hold off on news link tips until next week unless I can get that work done quicker than expected.

Very Real Potential for ‘Existential’ EMP Attack Highlights Suicidal Short-Sightedness of Gun Banners

If only the Founders had conceived of a way that Americans could band together in times of existential threat and to provide for what was “necessary to the security of a free state…” [More]

Who thinks disarming before the collapse “top men” are preparing for is a good idea?

The Power of Suggestion

“Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels”‘Suggests’???? You’re Kidding, Right? ‘Suggests’? [More]

No, I’m not kidding. I laid out some documented examples of corruption to build my argument, but if I was going to use the word “Proves” for the specific instance of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum being in league with the cartels, I’d need to provide more than circumstantial evidence. I’d need to produce documentation establishing that she’s in communication with, on the take, or under direct threat from specific cartels. Barring that, it’s the same reason why words like “alleged” are used.

The commentator, who “suggests” he was a CIA operative in Mexico who had a direct hand in getting DEA agents in and then out of the country with their captures, claims direct knowledge I confess I cannot. If he’d like to be a whistleblower and blow the lid off this, I can guarantee the same level of care Mike and I gave to our Fast and Furious sources– after vetting them .

Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels

Top officials, in all branches of government, the police, and the military, are in the pockets of the cartels. [More]

Don’t think of them as partners. Think of them as conjoined twins.

Another Democrat Gun Grabber Calls for Political Violence, This Time with ‘Actual Weapons’

Why are they so desperately angry, ready to drop all pretenses of “friends across the aisle” civility and call for street violence? Against people they’re trying to disarm…? [More]

You’d think the “commonsense gun safety” groups would condemn this kind of talk and disassociate themselves from insurrectionists calling for weaponized political violence…

Gun-Banner Mfume’s Call for a ‘Street Fight’ Looks to Be a Desperate Deflection

“This will be a congressional fight, a constitutional fight, a legal fight, and on days like this a street fight…” [More]

Still Kweisi after all these years…

Giffords Propagandist Plays Word Games to Agitate for Magazine Ban

Not all of us have the high capacity for swallowing disinformation and utter hogwash we find in the average Giffords supporter. [More]

Them accusing us of Orwellian Newspeak shows all they’ve got is gaslighting.

Trump Order on Second Amendment Raises Hopes and Questions

Trump’s Second Amendment order is a good first step. It’s up to us to keep him on the path and walking in the right direction. [More]

There are things he can’t do and things he can. Let’s make sure the changes are meaningful.

Democrats Encouraging Violence & War Against MAGA Supporters

Left unsaid is how they intend to disarm those of us they want hanged by the neck until dead. [More]

Maniacs who want to kill us want our guns. There’s a surprise.
