Dismissal of Immigration Threat is What the Gun Prohibitionists’ Want

A Rebuttal to Cam Edwards’ Article ‘Should 2A Groups Make Opposition to Legal Immigration an Issue? A Response to David Codrea’ [More]

By disparaging thoughts on what a “pathway to citizenship” means for future “gun votes,” widely followed “gun rights influencers” are discouraging even discussing the issue.

Bridging the Divide on Guns a Bridge to Nowhere

Their “Diverse Coalition of Gun Rights and Gun Violence Prevention Advocates” includes rabid prohibitionist zealots who have made careers out of trying to eviscerate the Second Amendment through lawfare and gun bans, with not one recognized “no compromise” member. [More]

Oh, look, another covertly-funded AstroTurf group comprised of useful idiots and rabid prohibitionists trying to lure in low information gun owners who haven’t seen this game before. By “compromise,” they mean you do it.

Shameless Plug

The April 2026 issue of Firearms News, featuring my articles “Disparaging Armed Citizens Undermines Trump Administration’s Credibility” (p. 22) and “Cekada Heading ATF Still a No-Win Scenario for Gun Owners” (p. 26) is now available at diverse, equitable, and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic.

Gun Prohibitionists Using Pincer Strategy with Reports on U.S. Arms in Mexico

Fingers would be better pointed at Mexico’s pervasive corruption and tyrannical citizen disarmament edicts that have made a cartel black market both lucrative and inevitably bloody. [More]

The media pulling the same deceptions we saw before Operation Fast and Furious “Gunwalking” makes this déjà vu all over again.

Report on Total Blackout

Understand that when Codrea writes “heavily redacted,” what that means is that there’s absolutely nothing of use here. They sent pages of almost nothing but black bars. [More]

Good write-up! I typically like Tom Knighton’s stuff. But why do you think the site added an “Editor’s Note” at the end?

I’m glad to see Bearing Arms is picking up on my stuff more. (I’m going to be working on my response to Cam Edwards later this week.)

DOJ Responds to Gun Rights Restoration FOIA Request

What criteria must citizens seeking similar relief need to meet to prove themselves eligible for equal treatment? [More]

It’s apparently a need-to-know secret, and you don’t need to know.

Gun Influencers Denying Immigration Impact on Right to Arms Ignore Truths They Can’t Refute

All the critics need to do to prove this wrong is to come up with numbers that credibly refute those given. [More]

You can’t rebut contentions by avoiding them. It’s past time this argument was more widely noticed in the “pro-gun community.”

Virginia Democrat Says You Don’t Need a Gun to Fight a Gunman While Backing More Citizen Disarmament

McGuire’s absurdly offensive contention disparaging armed defense while justifying disarming his constituents evokes nothing so much as the scene from the movie Independence Day when the president asks the alien, “What is it you want us to do?” [More]

That and they’ve given themselves a pass on a gun-in-car storage law violation penalty they exact on mere citizens. Could it be more in-your-face to gun owners?

Gun Groups Failing Members by Ignoring Immigration Threat

With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]

There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?

Daily Defense

On camera? If it involves technical ability I’ll find a way to screw it up. Tune in and see.

DeStefano Fundraiser Addresses Donation Integrity Concerns

DeStefano has refused to turn over customer lists, and thus has been singled out for total destruction as an example to any who might defy the orders of the violence monopolists. [More]

He could minimize his ordeal tremendously if he would just give up customer names. But he won’t. So Letitia James is going to make an example of him.

‘Non-Dangerous Felon’ Opinion Leaves More Immediate Danger Unresolved

The late Robert J. Kukla made a brilliant observation in his 1973 classic, Gun Control, equating the release of violent misfits from prison with opening the cage of a man-eating tiger and expecting a different result. [More]

Anyone who can’t be trusted with a gun can’t be trusted without a custodian.

Honolulu Police Department Responds to Request for Approved Firearm Instructors

This created a dilemma for Hawaii’s gun owners, the post explained, because it “left residents seeking lawful training with no independent way to confirm who was approved.” [More]
