Daily Defense Redux

In this conversation, Mark Walters and David Codrea delve into the complexities surrounding the Second Amendment and gun control. They discuss the implications of the ‘common use’ argument, the distinction between self-defense and militia purposes, and the political landscape regarding gun rights. Personal anecdotes highlight how perspectives on gun ownership can change over time, emphasizing the importance of understanding the historical context of the Second Amendment. [More]

The discussion revolved around my latest from Firearms News.

Trump Administration Position on Machine Guns – Not 2A Protected

This Position Undermines Its Second Amendment Credibility [More]

If machine guns aren’t protected, the Second Amendment is a dead letter and anyone who maintains otherwise is a fraud.

‘Study’ on School Shooters Really an Innuendo-Based Hit Piece on Gun Owners

We’re supposed be influenced by a statistically insignificant sample of losers and apply that judgment to young people, such as those involved in NRA Youth Interests programs…[More]

Half the article is just deconstructing the first sentence of this nonsense, it’s crammed with so much wrong. So naturally, the media runs with it and amplifies it.

Democrat Arrested in Child Sex Sting Who Called for Trump to Be Shot Was a ‘Gun Sense Voter’ Candidate

“It’s time to kill him. This moment is why the Second Amendment exist,” he declared in another.” [More]

So, just what was he demanding from all the Demanding Moms who endorsed him, and who evidently believe “gun violence” is just fine against their political enemies?

Anti-Gun Judge’s Ruling Highlights Democrat Protection of ‘Undocumented Voters’

Federal court ruling by radical judge strikes down executive action on election integrity as polls show 83% of Americans favor citizenship verification requirements. [More]

So, Democrats: Would you then agree that requiring ID as a prior restraint disenfranchises gun owners?

FOIA Request Seeks to Determine DOJ Decision-Making for Firearms Disability Relief Actions

It’s with an eye toward determining how these 10 choices were selected for DOJ’s initial offering that prompted this FOIA request. [More]

Let’s see if the new, improved “Second Amendment Task Force” DOJ will be any better at responding to these things than it was under the Biden regime.

Biden’s Secret ‘Pillars’ Sought to Smear 2A Supporters as Domestic Terrorists

They didn’t want you to know that owning guns and advocating for the Second Amendment officially made you a terror suspect while they conducted a propaganda campaign to convince low-information voters that’s exactly what you are. The intent here is to impose citizen disarmament edicts on the entire Republic similar to what we find in Democrat states that have given up on the Second Amendment, and as we see in those states, what they’ve enacted is never enough. [More]

They’ve called us Nazis, fascists, racists, and “the greatest threat,” all with intent to disarm us. Why not add “terrorist” to the list?

Who’s Minding the Store? DOJ Siding with Letitia James Against Gun Companies

So, what gives with Podolsky’s very public filing, siding with notorious New York Democrat gun prohibitionists? And will AG Bondi and her new appointees now rein him in and slap him down? [More]

We’ve seen enough disconnects to make it fair to wonder if Bondi is being undermined or if she’s just talking out of both sides of her mouth.

UPDATE

I’ve submitted an update to this piece because, per GOA, DOJ reversed itself and is withdrawing from the case. If they’da listened to me from the start and included gun owner reps in their Task Force, they’d eliminate much of the uproar and embarrassing need to backtrack.

Kristol Attack on ‘Trumpism’ is Ultimately Self-Defeating for His Useful Idiot Followers

While anyone dumb enough to believe in and follow his Democrat operative noisemaking can certainly be described by the old Soviet pejorative “useful idiot,” the term “Judas goat” seems more appropriate for him. [More]

The dangers of Kristol meth…

A Bit Late on That Alert

I signed up for emails to help keep track of how my work is spreading.

Being told of articles from 10 years ago is hardly helpful. Then again, it’s all in the algorithm.

Anyway, “mystery” eventually solved:

Ranger John Woychowski… said he left the gun, a .40-caliber Sig Sauer P239 that served as his secondary duty weapon, in a holster inside a backpack stashed under the front seat of his SUV parked on The Embarcadero near Pier 5 while the family went to dinner. The backpack also contained his badge and law enforcement credentials.

In fairness, he did talk to a meter maid…

Task Force’s Exclusion of Gun Owner Advocates Means Continuing DOJ Disappointments

Gun rights leaders and legal scholars could be identified and nominated to analyze and prioritize bills, lawsuits, regulations, opportunities, and threats, to advise on judicial and other federal nominees, and to help educate the public. [More]

Leaving the people most affected out of the discussion means they’ll end up being told instead of asked. Or as one comment poster notes, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”

New Bump Stock Ban: Fitzpatrick Gets Away with Gun Grabs Because Republicans Allow It

The GOP needs to understand, in no uncertain terms, that embedded Democrats are unacceptable, and the Party must do a better job of reining in politicos who want to go left. [More]

Donald Trump should instruct Party shakers and movers to find an acceptable replacement and give enemy-in-the-gates Fitzpatrick the boot.
