We’re the Only Ones Negligent Enough

The report, ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveals that the Secret Service received classified intelligence regarding a threat to Trump’s life 10 days before the rally, but failed to share the information with other key agencies. [More]

So THAT explains ordinary people seeing the shooter before they did and not going up on that “sloped roof”…

It’s hard to believe they’re this lazy and incompetent and that no one who knows what they’re doing has taken advantage of that.

Musk’s ‘America Party’ Long on Exploiting Disgruntlement, Short on Specifics for Gun Owners

It’s doesn’t look like Musk’s America Party will provide the safe haven to jump to that some gun owners are knee-jerk responding to… [More]

What ship will angry gun owners be jumping to?

The Not Ready for Prime Time Player

Law-abiding citizens should have the right to responsibly own firearms without excessive government interference. [More]

That sounds like some shallow appeal-to-those-who -don’t-think-it-through weasel wording right there.

What about when being “law-abiding” means surrendering that “fundamental aspect of our freedom and security”? And how is any government interference with that which shall not be infringed not excessive?

And yeah– so much for “America First.”

Here’s how she fights:

Thomas Massie has failed us. He voted against cutting taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. He even voted NO on protecting children from AI-generated child exploitation.

This is a crafted misrepresentation. That first part is in the debt increase package. In the second, he saw unintended consequences in unelected Melania’s pet legislative process and Speaker Johnson would not allow amendments.

It’s all part of the all too familiar politics of personal destruction, where, “yuge” ego seeks revenge on any who oppose, support is bestowed on supplicants who fawn, and attacks are ad hominem logical fallacies.

This is what Trump wants to replace Massie with, and cultists in the 4th District are falling for it? I’m not trusting that poll, because right now she only has 53 Truth followers and 176 on Facebook. One suggested she’d get more exposure on X, but I think her campaign is afraid of the rationing she’d get from Constitutionalists sick of all the BS.

I’m with Elon on this.

Did Someone Say ‘Mission Creep’?

Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz — putting one-fifth of world’s oil supply at risk [More]

And Trump promises more if they retaliate.

So much for “We’re just going to take out the nukes, honest.”

Did someone way “regime change“?

Let’s see, how do they retaliate?

We strike military targets. They target civilians.

Let’s see what happens to that “increasing appetite” when their people here start doing that. Speaking of which, file this under “WTF?”

I want the Constitution observed. Since this affects me and mine, I want my representatives to weigh in. Calling someone who agrees with that a “pathetic loser” is ad hominem, a logical fallacy. It does not speak well to position or character.

Oh, and I’d like to see the evidence.

Still, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge how we got to this point.

Come Now, and Let Us Reason Together

H.Con.Res. 38: Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran… Prognosis
24% chance of being agreed to [More]

Seems to me ignoring the Constitutional delegation of the power to declare war to Congress has produced nothing but catastrophe since the end of WWII. If we’re going to risk WWIII, I want to have a say in it through my representatives.

It’s both amazing and depressing to see how knee-jerk hostile many self-identified MAGA types get on social media at the suggestion that we might just want to listen to the Founders on this. Ditto for some gun owners, who aren’t grokking a text, history, and tradition parallel…

I guess they’re ready for martial law, ration cards, and suspension of rights. Either that or they think it will always just be something we see on the news.

Very few seem to be asking “Cui bono?” or connecting dots to the “Deep State” Trump campaigned against.

Playing the Trump Card

The release also said the Trump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, which was described as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.” [More]

So, unlike with Teslas, where enraged psychopaths will vandalize them when nobody’s around, when will we see readily identifiable Trump gold phone users confronted in person, and attacked?

Related story: Elder feral son Uday with his wife and daughter joined her parents for a west coast vacation recently, and the father-in-law rented a Tesla truck– I think they’re ugly but it was pretty cool seeing videos of the dang thing driving itself, which he says takes some getting used to.

I asked him if anybody did anything to intimidate them and he said a few people gave them the finger. That alone is something I just can’t wrap my head around, but I suppose asking “What the hell is wrong with leftists?” is one of those questions we could spend a lifetime on and still not have an answer.

Then again, explain this:

Trump, in reversal, may exempt farms and hotels from immigration raids [More]

More bipolarity from the Professor Harold Hill of politics…

And no, of course I wouldn’t rather have a Democrat. What a stupid rejoinder.

Just as stupid as giving the president unquestioning full-throated support, because he’s perfectly happy to fill those throats whenever it suits him.

Ain’t No Backing Down Now

Trump’s Test: Crush the Uprising in California or Let Mass Deportations Slip Through His Fingers [More]

I’m trying to remember all the fires started and foreign flags flown by J6 protesters the Dems called seditious conspirators…

I’m also wondering how soon the low-hanging fruit will do something stupid — and whose “side” they will represent.

A Modest Proposal

The NFA is constitutional because it’s “a modest burden” and not a ban [More]

The Second Amendment does not say “shall not be banned.” It says “shall not be infringed.” Even modestly.

Unless you’re one of the “smartest people in the room” who buy into the Trump/Bondi DOJ is playing super secret 3D chess with court rules that they can’t tell us about, and it will all work out in the end, honest…

Then ask why they’re not pushing SBRs.

Much Ado About Nothing

Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Would Slash Suppressor Transfer Costs To Zero [More]

But that’s not REALLY the point, is it?

I know, his rhetoric is a damn sight better than what Harris’s would have been, but who seriously believes even this will make it out of the Senate and to his desk?

I wish GOA would use the rhetoric I’m seeing from them here on something much more existential that they have so far been ignoring.

So, Ignorance of the Law IS an Excuse?

FIGHTING OVERCRIMINALIZATION IN FEDERAL REGULATIONS [More]

Will we see this apply to “violations” of arms possession edicts?

And good points on the ones cashing in by “fighting the oligarchy” actually serving the oligarchy. What’s that truism about “progressives” and Opposite Day?

A Best Kept Secret

The administration should use what it can control as leverage over what it cannot. The president is at the apex of his power in deciding which foreigners to admit. This is true from both a legal and practical standpoint. He should issue a proclamation under 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) declaring that no new immigrants will get in until everyone who should be deported is gone. [More]

I like it, but why are we talking about this on a “gun blog”?

DOJ to Illinois Gun Owners: Write Your Democrat Legislators to Repeal Infringements

If you want relief, contact your state representatives, the Democrat ones who are passing citizen disarmament edicts, and ask them not to. [More]

The bipolarity will continue until such time as gun owner advocates have a seat at the decision-making table.
