A Key Figure

Matthew Hoover has been released from a federal prison in Wisconsin after serving nearly three years of a five-year sentence for trafficking machine guns. He is now headed to a halfway house to serve out the remainder of his conviction. [More]

Google AI says this about the snitch:

Where the hell is Harmeet Dhillon? Task Force exclusivity strikes again in another bout of bipolarity.

Or is it? Everybody realizes what the “law-abiding citizens” qualifier allows, right? Hey, if you don’t like it, vote out Blue State Democrats! Until then, obey.

Meanwhile, if Trump can pardon Henry Cuellar:

Why does Hoover have to remain hostage another two years?

Yeah, I know, Snopes says that’s false.

‘Someone’ Save His Life Tonight?

Singer Elton John said in an interview last week that if President Donald Trump managed to end AIDS, he would be “one of the greatest presidents” of all time. [More]

Talk about something that’s basically 100% preventable. To engage in unchecked promiscuity is a choice.

I don’t want any politician with the power to control the one thing that can “end” it, individual behavior. Or to make me pay for self-destructive choices after the fact with even more tax enslavement.

And that includes for multimillionaire pedos sexualizing cub scouts to encourage putting more children at risk:

Cutting His Losses?

And if Trump does, will they turn on him?

Where the Buck Stops

Since President Donald J. Trump signed the “Protecting Second Amendment Rights” executive order in February, his Department of Justice has done exactly the opposite—relentlessly defending the federal government’s unconstitutional gun control regime. Instead of using the Justice Department’s vast power to secure Americans’ right to keep and bear arms, the Trump DOJ has used it to fight against the People—even taking extreme positions in court to resist injunctions that block the government’s enforcement of gun laws that federal judges have already found unconstitutional.

Jeez, I talk like that and get readers telling the magazine if they don’t fire me they’re going to cancel their subscription…

I wonder how Mark W. Smith is gonna spin this.

Excusing the Inexcusable

And the consequence is it is technically true that a judge like Karen, Judge Karen Immergut from Oregon is technically a Trump appointee to the federal bench. But the reason why she’s a Trump appointee to the federal bench is because the only way to get that seat filled was the two Democrat senators from Oregon had to sign off on her nomination because they were never going to sign off on anyone that’s a conservative. That’s the reality on it. So when you read in the press that another Trump appointee in these anti-gun, anti-American blue states has ruled against Donald Trump, don’t be duped. [Watch]

Anybody see any movement from Trump and Republican senators to explain and try to change that, or are we just supposed to accept that tyranny and treason-enabling “blue slips” are prioritized over the prime directives in the Preamble by the Uniparty’s entrenched political class, and that A-raters will vote for cloture and then for confirmation, no one will be held accountable, and apologists will tell us there’s nothing we can do about it?

What Price Freedom?

AK Loyalists Won’t Admit It, but the Platform Might Be Finished in America… Ammo Prices: The AK’s Last Big Selling Point Is Gone… 5.45×39 has basically dead [sic]in the USA, thanks to import bans and dried-up stockpiles [More]

For some reason this reminds me of an argument I had as a boy: Who would win? Batman or Tarzan? The real question is “Why, in the land of the Second Amendment, are there “import bans”?

Seems to me that Trump could trump Biden. Especially since American gun owners are being punished for the alleged crimes of unknown someones else: “It is believed that Russia is the only known country to have used Novichok and the nerve agent is only available to Russian state authorities.” [Emphasis added]

Take the ammo first, due process later?

And then there’s GCA 68, with “sporting purpose” exemptions for import bans.

Who makes that determination? And who’s their boss?

While gun owners are arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, when it comes to costs responsible for the divide they’re missing the main cause. And you’d think Trump, getting hammered on the economy, would find it useful to give his biggest supporters a price break.

So…. where is the Second Amendment Task Force on this? Where are the “gun groups”? Then again, if they change it the antis would have a field day when one of their constituents shot up the next “gun-free zone” with imported AK rounds.

Is that what we’ll accept as an impediment to our rights that we can’t get around? Because there will be more bloodbaths of opportunity as long as enforced victim pools exist, and if we cede ground here, they’ll occupy it and them move in closer. To argue otherwise is to deny what everyone can see but some, on “both sides,” won’t admit.

Cutting It Close

President Donald Trump is making a final multimillion-dollar investment in Tuesday’s statewide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, in an effort to turn out MAGA voters who tend to sit out off-year elections when Trump isn’t on the ballot… Republican operatives are tracking down low-propensity GOP voters, and then reaching out to those voters through phone-banking efforts, or through digital and social media targeting ads.

Thumbs Down on Activism

[More]

Too bad, because it’s a knee-jerk assessment on a great comment I agree with, and represents the kind of self-motivated activism I wish more readers would take on themselves to engage in. Otherwise what’s the point of reading the article?

It’s disappointing but hardly surprising. Grudges and squabbles appear to take precedence over unity in purpose and shoulders to the wheel, and that’s got to be encouraging to the antis.

It’s fair to wonder how many of the down-voters — who would be big potential beneficiaries if they helped instead of harassed — spent even so much as the second it took them to click a thumbs down on promoting the Earle-Sears campaign and telling NRA and Trump to get off the stick.

And that’s why I don’t think Trump finally-kinda-sorta coming on board was due to “2A supporters tagging him on X about Virginia.” Nobody has been writing about this but me, and I can tell you from the lack of comments and shares I’ve seen, this has been one of the biggest echo chamber pieces I’ve ever written.

(And yeah, I see comment links don’t scroll you to the exact one and nothin’ I can do about that, but the ones I’m citing are easy enough to find.)
