Look at the Defensive Gun Uses that Hawaii Wants to Criminalize [More]
I’ve submitted some questions to Honolulu PD about how they won’t tell anyone who the “authorized trainers” are.

Notes from the Resistance
Newsom Opposes Voter ID Laws, but Ignores Far Worse Abuses in California for CCW Permits [More]
I’ve been pointing out that disconnect for some time:
If photo IDs disenfranchise minority voters as “progressives” claim, why doesn’t the same requirement disenfranchise them from their right to keep and bear arms?
The answer, of course, is that it does, and that Democrats are racist hypocrites and liars.
Attorney Tom Grieve has a new video out that explains how burdensome California prior restraints are for the working poor.
Tangentially Related UPDATE
The latest “Gotcha” by alleged thinking adults is to demand that Republicans should have to abide by the strictures of the SAVE Act to purchase guns. [More]
Like I said, racist hypocrites and liars…

Like Ballot Measure 114—which this bill modifies—HB 4145 will put countless Oregonians at risk of jail time if they cannot prove they acquired standard magazines before a date that even the lawyers are not sure of. Keep in mind, no matter what you have been told, it is impossible to prove when you acquired a magazine. Any “affirmative defense” is an illusion. [More]
Sounds like it’s time for some enterprising manufacturer to date stamp mags before then and open a shop across the Idaho border.
H.R.7166 – Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026 [More]
I’m not sure how much of the hysteria I see being ginned up right now is just for clicks, but let’s keep things in perspective:

Of course, that could change…

Jada shared a selfie that shows her wearing a Harris/AOC 2028 t-shirt while pointing to a red ball cap she wore with white lettering that reads: “Is He Dead Yet?” It isn’t clear who she’s referring to. [More]
Of course it is, you lying celebrity suck-up propagandist. The rope-selling capitalist profiteers admit as much:
This design carries heavy satire, representing the frustration and exhaustion many feel toward Trump’s decisions. The hat was recently worn by Jada Pinkett Smith, drawing major attention and becoming a bold statement aimed directly at those who are hoping for a dramatic shift in politics.
Satire, hell– it’s a death wish for a two-time assassination target from the same subversives who stir up the lunatics while telling us to tone it down. And we also know it’s not just Trump they want dead.
Nice of them to dox themselves and all but admit to using communist slave labor:

Just like inauguration invitee Jeff Bezos, whose allowed products leave little doubt who is targeted.
As for the overprivileged head-covering communist-sympathizer who considers herself impervious to slut shaming as well as the effects of the takeover she endorses, useful idiots have a way of becoming useless eaters.
I wonder if Kamala and AOC approve of the cap… because their followers sure do, which should tell you something, especially with their rabid citizen disarmament agenda.
‘GOP’ House candidate admits she’s actually a progressive in viral video: ‘Telling people the truth’ [More]
Tricking low-information voters to vote for her– How is this not election interference, especially if the criteria used to convict is the charge that “One of the foundational rights we hold as Americans, a right that many fought so hard to obtain, is the right to vote. The defendant weaponized disinformation in a dangerous scheme to stop targeted groups … from participating in our democracy”?
Yeah, I know, that was overturned. Still, it’s illustrative of Democrat double standards.
Socialist calls for it to be illegal for businesses to leave New York City [More]
Escape from New York was a movie. If you try, men with guns will stop you.
Hey, your freedom of association ends where our claims on you begin.
Make sense now?

(I’d have linked to that but X appears to be down right now.)

HB 4145, the Democrat’s latest attack on gun rights, is scheduled for a “work session” on Monday. Feb. 16th at 3pm. Rumors that the bill is dead are… premature. [More]
The monster will just keep coming back.
* And yeah, I know it’s a misquote.
New congressional map could turn Virginia’s 6-5 Republican edge into 10-1 Democratic advantage ahead of midterm elections [More]
If only something could have been done to prevent this…
Only one House Dem voted in favor of voter ID, proof of citizenship in US elections [More]
Gee, it’s almost like they have an ulterior motive…
Funny, how the number 213 keeps coming up with Democrats.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”!

Democrats are backtracking on their own demand that ICE agents wear body cameras. They’re suddenly concerned that those cameras will be used to track and surveil anti-ICE protesters, which seems like an admission that they know those people are their base voters. [More]
ICE ought to share the “best of” on YouTube.

For the first time in California history, this proposal would require mandatory state-approved training, including live-fire shooting and at least eight hours of instruction, just to BUY a firearm — not carry it, not use it, but to own it. [Watch]
And challenges by gun owners who must scrape together legal costs will go on for years and years and years, which is part of the plan.

Destiny Wells announces congressional run in Indiana’s 7th district [More]

That and the Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association has fewer Facebook followers than I do (and my limited social media presence is tepid at best), and nothing about her on its website.
I trust no Hoosier gun owners will be surprised when she carries out her threat...
Maybe they think the Republicans will keep them safe…
Hey, I remember this story…

Republican women are 14% more likely to own guns than Democrat men. [More]
That may not be a fair metric since one party knows how to define genders. Still, it’s telling.
And it also illustrates why new gun owners are nothing to crow about.
In terms of total numbers, I wouldn’t be starting any civil wars if I were that outgunned…

Democrat Party Caters to New Base – Communists, Socialists, and Fellow Travelers [More]
I’d question how “new” it is, although it’s true they’re a lot more open about it now.
In Washington, Democrats in Olympia are looking at adding $100 to the nonrefundable fee for a concealed pistol license, jacking the cost up from $36 to $136… In neighboring Oregon, there’s a move on via House Bill 4145 which would raise the cost of a permit-to-purchase from the $65 maximum to $150. [More]
What are these carry fees everyone is so upset about?
Don’t tell Judge Jeanine!
Requires businesses or restaurants open to the public to post a color-coded placard indicating whether the business or restaurant allows firearms or large knives to be brought onto the premises. By January 1, 2027, requires the Department of Law Enforcement to provide businesses and restaurants with free and easily downloadable placards. Effective 1/1/2027. [More]
From this un-American who presents himself as the opposite… Hey, if he can exploit copyrighted characters for political campaigning, does that constitute a reportable in-kind contribution?

Babylon Bee Defeats Hawaii Law That Forbids Political Satire [More]
I guess if you can ignore the Second Amendment with no personal cost, why would you be worried about subverting the First?
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, Hawaii Democrats deserve to be ridiculed, and often, and by someone who knows how.
