Virginian Hatchet Speed STILL Fighting Preposterous J6-related “Silencer Possession” Conviction Despite Being Pardoned By President Trump [More]
The title confused the hell out of me. I haven’t been following this case– I guess Hatchet Speed is the guy’s name…?
What, is it a nickname or his real one? I suppose I could just Google it…
Not exactly the kind of guy I want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with, but I guess if you can get him on arms charges you can get me.

An attorney representing a California man who is challenging the state’s ban on firearm silencers argued to a panel of judges in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that the devices are protected under the Second Amendment. [More]
Shoot, anyone who’s not a moron or a monster knows that.
NRA Files Another Lawsuit Challenging the National Firearms Act [More]
Terrific. It’s also comparatively easy.
Now when are we going to see them putting the necessary resources into an even more pressing and existential issue affecting all of their members in Virginia?

Gun Owners of America Files Motion for Summary Judgment Against ATF, Challenging NFA Provisions [More]
A familiar name is on page 3.
I understand civil litigation and FOIA stuff is considered nonessential and will be delayed by the shutdown, so we’ll see if this has to grab a ticket and line up in the queue.
Guess what else is delayed.
Picture I took in Ukraine a few months ago. 50 dollar over the counter Suppressors. The upper end ones were about $425 at the time. [More]
Now note how many gun-grabbers here in the land of the Second Amendment who make up all kinds of lies to deny this to you have a “#Slava Ukraini” hashtag in their social media profiles.
They were all silent when the biggest case for an armed populace opened up before their eyes, too.
But we’re not across the finish line just yet. Parts of the bill still need to be cleaned up, and there’s still a chance we get stabbed in the back right before the goal. It’s time to mobilize—one final push. This is our chance, and we can’t afford to waste it. [More]
I need to hear the fat lady sing.

NOTE: While this text does remove suppressors from the NFA, a drafting error left suppressors out of the provision referencing state statutes. We are working with lawmakers to address this issue and are confident that it will be corrected through a manager’s amendment. [More]
I like to think of such things as a tribute to Allah.

If it’s legal to “homebrew” so to speak in the vernacular, a home-made 3D Printed or complete an 80% handgun and or rifle, WITHOUT DOTGOV PERMISSION OR PAPERWORK then, by extent, wouldn’t the same exact legality apply to “homebrewed” hushpuppies and all the rest of the happy-time fun toys??? [More]
And props for remembering R.A. Bear.
Some, if you read the comments here, don’t want us to.
…Republicans are looking to Parliamentarian of the Senate Elizabeth MacDonough to make her determination on if such measures will survive the “Byrd bath” or become “Byrd droppings.” [More]
Politicians sure do come up with all kinds of convoluted complications over something as simple as “shall not be infringed.”
RELATED UPDATE
I ended the piece with GOA’s latest announcement that “the Senate’s version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” now includes full repeal of the $200 NFA tax on: Suppressors Short-barreled rifles (SBRs) Short-barreled shotguns (SBSs) “Any Other Weapons” (AOWs).”
Here’s the rev. of the bill. Start on pg. 261.
I thought you guys were trying to fake men into thinking you suddenly grokked them…
Instead, you’re out there spooking the herd by showing them an open borders hypochondriac spokesmodel who is scared of guns, scared of cars, incompetent at life, obsessed with AIDS movies, and fantasizes that if he were gay, he would “get married tomorrow, just to f*** with the church.”
Come to think of it, that pretty much describes anyone dumb enough to vote for you.

From Rep. Paul Gosar to a constituent via email:
Reconciliation is a procedure under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, where Congress implements budget resolution policies that are required to be related to permanent spending and revenue programs. Additionally, the Byrd rule, which was incorporated into the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, prohibits provisions that are “extraneous to the purpose of implementing budget resolution policies.” Consequently, provisions in a reconciliation bill cannot include policy changes that do not affect the budget or spending programs.
Consequently, this is why the full versions of the SHORT and Hearing Protection Act were not included in the bill, as the portions that affect non-tax provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) violate the Byrd rule.
Per the recipient:
“Now the only thing I need to figure out is how they managed to pass a bill out of the House that removed both the tax AND the registration. If you have any news on that, it sure would be worth a blog post.”
I don’t. How about you? And why not do the same with SBRs?

Here’s the new talking point to parrot about the suppressor concession:
I don’t suppose we can muffle those screams…?
Why do ATF agents need new suppressors for their ARs? [More]
Oh, look! LEs use the same “hearing protection” argument “our side” does (instead of us claiming it as a right government has no legitimate claim to). Meanwhile, the grabtard lobby tells its useful idiots that, in the hands of mere citizens, they are “inherently dangerous devices” and “deadly accessories.”
So California requires one and bans the other… Is this where some idiot “progressive” would say “Yeah, but cars don’t kill people”?

Facebook and Instagram Ads Push Gun Silencers Disguised as Car Parts – A network of Facebook pages has been advertising “fuel filters” that are actually meant to be used as silencers, which are heavily regulated by US law. Even US military officials are concerned. [More]
Mehrotra, eh…?
I keep going back to the last paragraph.
And Wired being ultimately controlled by the same billionaire who profits from Teen Vogue’s anal sex tips for teens…
Why do I have the feeling that if fuel filters were being used for something else it wouldn’t be a story?

Last month, Representatives August Pfluger (R-TX) and Jared Golden (D-ME) introduced the bipartisan “Protecting Americans’ Right to Silence Act of 2024” (PARTS Act), H.R. 10145, which seeks to modernize and clarify the federal definition of firearm suppressors under the Gun Control Act. [More]
So Republicans help Gungrabber Golden burnish his reputation with a bill that has a 1% chance of being enacted, meaning it costs Democrats nothing but buys them all kinds of Fuddwill and “gunfluencer” kudos…

Mangione had a ghost gun, a type of weapon that can be assembled at home from parts without a serial number, making them difficult to trace, investigators said. [More]
That and the suppressor will overshadow that he “raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and a last known address in Honolulu, Hawaii,” Democrat strongholds all.
This is apparently his X feed.
And this appears to be his Facebook.
I’m going to look around before they’re deactivated, and gotta say I’m surprised they haven’t been.
