The Trump administration wants to let you easily buy and ship firearms straight to your front porch. [More]
You mean like back in the days before gun free zones and mass shootings?
Where There’s Smoke…?
Report: Rep. Chuck Edwards Gave Female Staffers Pink and Blue Handguns [More]
In the absence of evidence that this was part of a sexual harassment effort and/or was paid for by taxpayers, how is this not just a targeted political tactic?
It would help if we knew who his accusers were, but Axios won’t tell us and we’re just supposed to accept its spin.

Some People’s Kinks
Brandon Herrera, the gun-rights YouTuber known online as “The AK Guy” and now the Republican nominee for Congress in Texas’ 23rd, launched into a vicious tirade against Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, dismissing the political views of the organization and mothers in general with a string of graphic sexual insults. [More]
That is wrong. I don’t see any worth sexually objectifying.
Funny though, how Democrats ignore concerns for minorities and the environment when they have other priorities…

Broader Questions
A Congressman’s Gun Store Is Linked to a Federal Trafficking Case. He’s Trying to Defund the ATF. [More]
Wait– so someone apparently straw purchased “more than 40 firearms from gun stores in the Athens area between September 2020 and July 2021 … at least 20 of those firearms have since been recovered by law enforcement, several in connection with violent crimes,” and “Among the firearms recovered was ONE [emphasis added] purchased at Clyde Armory, the Georgia gun store owned by Representative Andrew Clyde” and someone is trying to make the case that “rais[es] broader questions about conflicts of interest, regulatory oversight, and the intersection of private business and public office”…?
Really?
That raises broader questions with me about the motivations and political leanings of the author and his publisher:
If Guns Could Speak
If guns could speak they would say nothing of solidarity or community; they would articulate only fear of the stranger and rage at life’s tenuous hold. [More]
But they can’t, can they?
I’ve talked before about Academia .edu because I get a laugh over how often a guy who was usually on the wrong end of the Dean’s List is cited there. This 10-year-old article was featured in a recent email they sent me, and it’s illustrative of the ivory tower mindset that controls monolithic narrative promulgators that represent themselves as “institutions of higher learning.”

Finally, Some Honest Science /s
Today, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (NC-04) introduced the Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026, legislation to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish a publicly accessible federal database of gun violence and public safety research. [More]
To the tune of five million smackers…
We know what happened last time CDC had carte blanche…
There is no Marxist-enabling traitor or useful idiot Giffords, Everytown, and Brady won’t back, is there?

That’s assuming Republicans don’t blow it, and you know them.

Richmond Moms Demand Action and Virginians for Change held their “Wear Orange” event, where local leaders and survivors shared what people can do to be part of the solution. [More]
Really?

Tsunami Warning

Oh, no! Infringing on infringements! Head for higher ground!
Because we all know how ATF rules affect predator decision-making.
“Real reporter” Avery Lotz carries the prohibitionists’ water for them.
She probably also believes repeating talking points can’t ultimately be done a lot cheaper by AI.

The Brown Bess Loophole
You ought to see the damage unregulated assault weapons from an even earlier time were capable of! And they were all “in common use at the time”!

Where Every Day is Opposite Day
The District of Columbia has been joined by civil rights groups such as the Brady: United Against Gun Violence and the Giffords Law Center in asking a federal court to dismiss the lawsuit. [More]

Kicking Over The Trace
It should, of course, be noted that The Trace doesn’t seem to have reached out to anyone at the ATF, the NSSF, the NRA, GOA, SAF, or any other gun rights organization, advocate, or journalist. They could reach out to Brown, of course, but no one else. No attempt to get a balanced take on this. [More]
What a joke of a “reporter” you are, Chip Brownlee.
Between him and the girl with Daddy Issues, they’re assembling quite the team.
