Commonsense Speech Safety Laws
Biden’s executive order targets modern manufacturing processes in ways that implicate the First Amendment. [More]
So if Democrats want to ban “misinformation” and now real information, what kind of information will still be “legal”?
The good thing is, the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law…”
They’re not making it. The executive is!
A One in Five Million Shot
One murder with @ 5M members at the time? Is there a more peaceable population on the planet?

Compare to GOA’s and be guided accordingly.
I’d throw in NRA’s, but those have always been problematic.
Gun Laws vs. Crime Rates in 2024
Almost daily, legislators propose new gun laws aimed at reducing crime rates. However, both new and existing laws are unlikely to impact crime significantly. With over 90 years of gun control legislation and crime data, it’s clear that these laws do little to curb criminality or save lives. [More]
“Gun Control” doesn’t work, at least for its stated justification.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says he will vote for Harris [More]
That’s why they call him “Dick.”

The Comstock Load
The cracks in Trump’s political dam widened into a steady leak this week after former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) announced that she would cast her ballot for Harris in November. [More]
The only conclusion is that Barbara Comstock is a LIAR.
MA Gun License Challenged
The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have filed an amicus brief with the Massachusetts Supreme Court in support of a New Hampshire man who is challenging the Massachusetts permit law. [More]

Without a Trace
“McWhirter noted, “If there was ever a political situation in which PLCAA was rolled back, they would stop making AR-15s tomorrow because it would just be legally impossible. And, and all, every other gun would be really problematic.” [More]
It’s always been about taking your guns.
And The Trace has always been about its damaged propagandists, who no doubt are delusional enough to believe themselves champions of “commonsense gun safety. “

Who Is Really To Blame For The ATF Bump Stock Ban Rule? [More]
Donald Trump and the NRA.
There’s a totally fabricated after the fact face-save ploy that it was really brilliant 3D chess designed to save us meme that’s suddenly circulating is utterly without corroborating evidence.
You don’t gamble with someone else’s stakes.
Get back to me when you have memos and emails from the decision makers proving me wrong and I’ll apologize.
Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?
Anti-Gun Billionaire Michael Bloomberg Funds Backing Sheri Biggs in South Carolina’s 3rd District … Biggs has portrayed herself as a political outsider who is “pro-Second Amendment and pro-Trump.” However, one of the PACs backing her appears to come from anti-Second Amendment sources. [More]
The runoff is in a week. It’s up to these guys to set the record straight before then:

3D Bump Chess?
Very important to understand that strategic decision by Donald Trump and the NRA to basically sign off if you will on doing a bump stock ban through executive order, I didn’t like it, I was not happy about it, but I understood the strategy sometimes one has to lose battles to win the war, that is how the real world works… [Watch]
Really? A plan comes together? That’s what you’re going with?
So, I guess, “Take the guns first, due process later” was another genius move they just couldn’t tell us about?
And envisioning Inspector Clouseau pretending his screwup was intentional to save face is just me not being smart enough to understand what the grownups are doing?

Nine Out of Nine Justices Agree
The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously backed the National Rifle Association in a First Amendment ruling that could make it harder for state regulators to pressure advocacy groups.

Hogan’s Zeroes
Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan is warning Republicans in Washington, D.C., that he won’t be a reliable vote if Maryland chooses to send him to the Capitol. In a new TV ad aired Tuesday, the former Maryland governor stressed his bipartisan bona fides. “In the Senate, Republicans can’t count on my vote. [More]

NRA-ILA Announces Lawsuit Challenging Delaware’s New Permit-to-Purchase Law [More]
Asking and paying the government for permission to exercise a right… yeah, that’s what the Founders had in mind.
And that law was passed by people who put their hand on a Bible or whatever , raised the other, and swore an oath before God and country.
Figures they’re the ones who gave us Biden.

Flip or Flop
Having your bagman flip on you is never a good sign for beating a rap, so I’d say it’s already highly likely Cueller will be going from the House to the big house, especially since a third aide has flipped. [More]
The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has endorsed Henry Cuellar for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 28th Congressional District of Texas. Henry has a proven pro-Second Amendment record and is committed to protecting our right to self-defense!
How does this not undo all of that?

Lowering the Barr
David Codrea On Bob Barr As NRA President [More]
You’re right, John. No believer in freedom is for domestic violence.
Lautenberg’s not the way to deal with it and an NRA director should know that.
.
Barr for NRA President Would Prove Association Has Learned Nothing
Telling the audience how he improved a bad bill hardly addressed his assertion that Lautenberg “is strong protection for women and children,” or his claim that his amending language kept it from being “declared unconstitutional.” He then goes on to support the concept of “prohibited persons.” So, the answer is, no, he wouldn’t repudiate his past support and spearhead the effort to repeal it. Instead, he preferred you to be caught in the trap and then go through a Catch-22 appeals process. [More]
More to the point: What’s a gun-grab proponent even doing on the NRA board in the first place?
The Enemies Still Within
Although Brewer represents the gun rights organization, he has also donated thousands of dollars to anti-gun candidates like Beto O’Rourke, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton. [More]
We’ve talked before about bringing mercenaries into inner circles who don’t share principles — including Beto/Hillary/Biden donor Bill Brewer.
And:
AmmoLand News has also been told that former Congressman Bob Barr will be the next President of the NRA. Mr. Barr is currently on the Board of Directors and is the only one that AmmoLand News knows of who has had a negligent discharge of a firearm. According to our sources at the NRA, Mr. Barr is a Brewer loyalist.
It’s time to refresh some memories.
