Muster Call?

Stalled 2A Bills Need Your Support [More]

Say everybody floods the switchboards and the bills make it out of committee. Then what?

I see the 2A blogosphere and guntubers mobilizing on this while actual doable priorities remain ignored and mostly unknown. I’d say at least it will help flush out committee RINOs, but then have to ask what gun owners will do about it, because they all seem to flourish with impunity.

Related UPDATE

But far be it for the “no compromise gun lobby” to notice this.

Nothin’ at this writing…

I miss Larry’s leadership.

We’re the Only Ones Hushed Enough

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.”

Quiet Reflections

So California requires one and bans the other… Is this where some idiot “progressive” would say “Yeah, but cars don’t kill people”?

Looks like all the noise about Pam Bondi is starting to get things moving…

My Friends, You Got Trouble

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson files brief for @TheJusticeDept arguing that silencers are NOT arms & are NOT protected by the Second Amendment. [More]

Did I hear someone say gun owners are losing patience?

Yeah, but he’s only been on the job two months and he’s got a lot on his plate and he’s playing a 3D chess game and… aside from “Would you rather have Kamala?” what excuse did I miss?

And any word on the Bondi report yet?

The Silent Horror

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?

Silence is Golden

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…

Sign Me Up?

President Trump has a tool to push for the passage of legislation, such as the hearing protection act. The executive branch, specifically the Secretary of the Treasury, can unilaterally declare an amnesty for people to register NFA items with the ATF. [More]

Wouldn’t that imply they’d done something wrong and that citizens should obey tyrannical claims on their rights…?

Yeah, of course I know the alternative.

Some of us have considered that before charting our own course.

I like Dean, he does a lot of valuable stuff and I’m sure he’s doing his best to let us know about something that could keep us out of trouble. I guess I’m just surprised to see this on JPFO.

Send in the Clowns

Accordingly, “Miller stood for the proposition ‘that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as 3 short-barreled shotguns’ [More]

That’s not what Miller said at all.

He’s not through with the clown act:

While a silencer may be a firearm accessory, it is not a “bearable arm” that is capable of casting a bullet.

Neither was my “machinegun,” or “high capacity” magazines, or braces, or 80% receivers, or…

And again, “common use” is proving to be a trap.

It’s way past time to pasture this senile old “Reagan Republican.“

Location, Location, Location

Investigators believe, judging from surveillance video and evidence collected from the scene, that the shooter had at least some prior firearms training and experience with guns and the weapon was equipped with a silencer, the official said. [More]

So much for that reform not being hysterically attacked, even though it had no bearing on the outcome. Now all they need is to tie him in with right to life.

At least he appeared to respect the law enough to stay just on the outskirts of Manhattan’s “sensitive area”:

In Their Lane

The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery endorses the use of firearm suppressors as an effective method of reducing the risk of hearing loss, especially when used in conjunction with conventional hearing protective measure. [More]

Finally– a qualified diagnosis.

Funny… all the other side has in terms of “experts” are prohibitonist apparatchiks with unqualified opinions…
