Interesting (to me, anyway) story on the graphic– within an hour of submitting my draft to Firearms News, I got the above FOP solicitation in the mail. I did a scan and sent it to editor Vince DeNiro, telling him I was going to print out my article after it was posted and return it to them in their envelope, with a few choice words, instead of a donation.

We know that something similar to what was forced on him, where we suddenly find ourselves having to defend ourselves against a previously unknown threat, could happen when we least expect it. And we know that police and prosecutors will often be personally and politically incentivized to treat us like criminals, and to interpret events to support their interests rather than ours. [More]

Their own government gives new meaning to the phrase “Close your eyes and think of England.”

Gun owners who pay attention to his confirmation hearings will have a chance to hear for themselves, and see how Cekada’s answers, especially to questions posed by anti-gun Democrats, comport with being “truly pro-Second Amendment.” [More]
“He won’t betray us as much” seems a heck of a standard to applaud.

“What I try to do with these things is show readers a politician will go beyond platitudes and demonstrate an understanding of concerns and developments the constituents are expressing and following”… [More]
The Second Amendment is the sole focus of this article, not any other policy issues or the reasons Trump wants to end Massie’s political career, nor Massie’s reasons for opposing parts of the president’s agenda.

Upholding Hawaii’s disarmament edict “fails every aspect of the analytical framework established by Bruen,” Beck and Petitioner Co-Counsel Mark W. Pennack argue. [More]
It’s difficult to conceive how the same court that gave us Bruen could agree that the Founders would have been cool with ubiquitous infringements.

And the best way to keep killers from succeeding is by being able to stop them. [More]
Prohibitionists will do anything to avoid the obvious– besides, it ain’t their money.

We’re going north to Alaska this morning.
I’ll be joining the show at 10 AM Eastern.
Nothin’ in particular, we’re just gonna talk.

Logically, if you’re going to ban guns and drinking in business establishments, why wouldn’t you preemptively demand the same controls in homes, the places where “domestic violence” can take place? [More]
I need a drink.

In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the implications of Glock’s recent business decisions and their impact on the firearms industry. Joined by David Codrea, they explore the intersection of gun rights, political strategy, and the responsibilities of gun manufacturers. [Listen]
Yesterday’s show…

Show an enemy committed to your destruction you’re not willing to fight to the hilt and don’t expect that to do anything but embolden them. [More]
With a slow fist coming, you’d think more effort would be put into stopping it.

Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances, and one that has only been preserved under the force of arms?

My fourth and final “Gun Rights” column for the last issue of American Handgunner, which has discontinued going to print…

Equally unsurprising, but nonetheless very revealing, is that none of the so-called “gun safety groups” that have come out for Jones are rescinding their endorsements. [More]

It’s not so much a matter of sticking up for “Only Ones” exclusivity as one of not allowing local entities to undermine preemption and overrule state law.
