It’s ‘Gun Rights Leader’-Approved!

A Florida gun owner says he spent two weeks in jail because the government’s background-check machinery treated an old Kentucky misdemeanor as if it were a felony. [More]

NICS… isn’t that the prior restraint infringement hailed by NSSF as a “real solution,” and “applauded” by NRA…?

And endorsed by Bloomberg’s The Trace…?

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.

The Bridge to Nowhere

‘Bridging the Divide’ on Firearms Laws [More]

Oh, look, kinder, gentler gun control couched as a meeting of reasonable minds. Where have we seen that before? And before that?

And when we no longer have to expend resources on these, we can focus on our next steps toward the goal.

If these rights swindlers wanted to attract more gun owners, they’d be stumping for BIDS– and not doing so reveals the fraud behind “background checks.”

Figures, Rob Pincus is part of it...

EXCLUSIVE: Gun Industry Uses Standard Sales Techniques for Legal Products!!!

The tactics he described are familiar in the world of online commerce, from food orders to clothes. But the presentation betrayed no consideration of the consequences that may arise if the tactics are applied in a widespread way to the selling of firearms and ammunition. [More]

Oh no! Rolling Stone and The Trace don’t like us!

Like they don’t both use advanced marketing tactics to spread their poison.

Chips Off the Old Block

March for Our Lives has been rocked by divisions, layoffs, and — most recently — a lawsuit alleging racism and retaliation. [More]

That’s pretty rich, considering the views of the racist their funding comes from:

“Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said.”

Let’s see if Facebook lets this stay up:

Like a Rolling Stone

White, Legally Armed, and Primed for Political Violence [More]

Ah, yes, the Greatest Threat again…

The neo-Bolsheviks need to paint targets on us because we stand in their way.

And if we can’t believe Rolling Stone “in partnership with The Trace,” who can we believe?

Bloomberg Funded Site Argues Gun Control Part of 2nd Amendment History and Tradition

Unable to refute reality, what’s a gun prohibitionist to do but try and confuse the issue? [More]

So what if the Founders never envisioned the “boyfriend loophole”? If you can have a “living Constitution,” why not a “living Second Amendment.”

Which History? Which Sources?

Gun rights groups frequently call on courts to exclude other time periods. That’s because there were fewer regulations — at least regulations written down as statute — compared to the latter half of the 1800s, leaving fewer historical analogues to pick from. Focusing on the Founding Era also ignores crucial legal developments in the intervening decades. [More]

Yeah, that’s because later infringements weren’t what was agreed to and ratified.

These creatures are such shameless f_ing liars.

‘Gun Researchers’ Have Only Themselves to Blame for Anticipated Funding Cutbacks

Rather than heeding reality, expect the junk science purveyors and their elitist-funded “independent” propagandists to continue whining and to resume their politically motivated perversions of medical science. [More]

Just like their demands for citizen disaramament, it can never be enough for them. The prohibitionists funded by the elites and their foundations want you to be forced to pay for their lies, too. Look up “bullet fee.”

Chopping Block Candidate

Bloomberg’s ‘The Trace’ Warns a New Trump Administration Would Dismantle the White House Ministry of Gun Control [More]

Tell me they have staffers with nothing legitimate to do without telling me they have staffers with nothing legitimate to do.

We’re the Only Ones Rescinding Enough

ATF Revoked More Licenses in Fiscal Year 2024 Than in Any of the Past 20 Years [More]

The “independent journalists” at The Trace can’t help but gloat. Good thing they promise Bloomberg “seed money” has no influence on their “reporting.”

While reviewing this for history, text, and tradition, the most relevant Founding era viewpoint I could find says “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

And here’s the most relevant contemporary article I could find about the character of such officers, in all their “glory.”
