ATF Returns Bump Stock After Five Years [More]
Glad to see more noticing. I do have one as yet unsatisfied concern with an assumption:
Oh, I get the rationale for doing it that way. Congress was in the process of passing a much more restrictive measure and a lot of Republicans were signing on in the wake of Las Vegas. This minimized the damage.
Prove that’s what [Trump] did. Show us the contemporaneous evidence that was always his intent, and he could predict the outcome, so it was OK to put so many at risk without their knowledge or consent.
I’m not going to make excuses for the inexcusable.

Ultimate Fudd Walz Represents Worst of ‘Enemies Inside the Gates’
Also unexplored is what Walz told NRA to get their endorsement. People with sincere, core knowledge-based freedom principles don’t abandon them in favor of emotion-based demands for coercive prohibitions against allies they’d pledged allegiance to. A release of his questionnaire would be instrumental in showing just how much the guy is willing to lie for political power. [More]
It’s not the first time Walz campaigned in a camo hat. Any Fudd kapo dumb enough to vote for this fraud deserves to have his guns taken away.

ATF Returns Bump Stock to Rightful Owner After Five-Year Legal Struggle
This is a small but concrete example that we still have at our disposal the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders and that we can still use the courts to our advantage, as frustratingly drawn out as that process can be. We won’t be able to do that anymore if apathy and cynicism turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy that cedes the power to appoint the federal judiciary to the Democrats, who will then be able to have the Bruen opinion reversed and any citizen disarmament edict they pass upheld. [More]
As long as we can still score wins by peaceable means you can’t legitimately say voting is useless. Don’t let a self-fulfilling prophecy make this the election that changes that.

Hopes and Praise for Vance Mustn’t Cloud Gun Owner Expectations
I don’t do this to subvert election chances or to get people mad at me. I do it because by viewing politicians with realistic expectations, gun owners will be in a better position to understand where, when and how they may disappoint us once we help them win power, and to insist the “gun rights leaders” endorsing them do everything they can to make sure it’s understood our rights are non-negotiable. [More]
I’m voting for Donald Trump and JD Vance. I want you to vote for Donald Trump and JD Vance. I just think we’ll all be better positioned for whatever happens after they win if we don’t vote for them blindly.

USDA Using Tax Dollars to Pressure Employees on Citizen Disarmament
Might such overt pressure from the very top be construed as creating a hostile working environment for employees who hold different political views? Might expressing those views be reasonably considered career and advancement-limiting, and might not expressing any political views on the taxpayers’ dime, by either side, be considered inappropriate and unethical, especially when coming from management that controls employee reviews? [More]
It’s the moral equivalent of requiring a “bullet fee” from the family of the condemned, and those imposing it get off on that.

McConnell Instruction to Cornyn Hints Where GOP May ‘Compromise’ on Guns

Well, I’m Back
Time off was somewhat restorative, although we both picked up nasty colds that seem to want to stick around (not Wuflu, I tested myself). Getting back into the groove is going to take a bit and I’ve got articles to write and plenty of meatspace chores, so please take it easy on the news tips.
Hopefully, we’ll be fully operational next week.

I’m Not Alone

Yep. Especially when he says they’re going to use it to support candidates and I see some of the inexplicable ones they’re endorsing…

New Digs, Same Old Attitude
Welcome to the new home for The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance. I came here because Blogspot, which I had happily used since 2005, decided to “unpublish” an innocuous piece with valid information that somehow ticked a censorship response, and I’m not about to put time into something that someone else can erase without even a means to contest it.
I’m learning how to use this site from scratch so please bear with me. Maybe I’ll get better as time goes by, but truthfully, I’m in this for the commentary and to promote my work, so the tech stuff will take a backseat.
