Notes from the Resistance
The Trace story quotes Byrna’s founder, president and chief executive officer, Bryan Ganz. However, on Friday, Ganz told the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project that he had never even heard of the Trace until the story appeared Thursday morning. The freelance writer who wrote the story claimed it would appear in a different publication. [More]
How can you be an industry leader and be so oblivious about the media environment you’re operating in?

Now be nice. Meadow Soprano has Daddy Issues.
Shannon Watts just didn’t want people seeing any reminders of her past.
Pistol braces are popular accessories intended to increase the accuracy and stability of AR-15-style pistols. [More]
Just to be clear, the “commonsense gun safety law” prohibitionists, the violence monopoly beneficiaries, and their enforcers are all trying to gaslight voters into believing it’s in the public interest for firearms to be more inaccurate and unstable.
That’s Orwellian, fanatical, and insane, in other words, SOP for Bloomberg’s The Trace. The only people who would support such absurd, destructive diktats are stupid, evil, or both.
With President Biden announcing new executive orders on guns Tuesday, CNN Newsroom invited Jennifer Mascia, senior writer for The Trace (an anti-gun rights publication), to share her dubious study. According to Mascia, a CNN contributor, gun manufacturers were directly in control of gun deaths in America as she suggested “when gunmakers ramped up production, gun deaths rose.” Of course, CNN gushed for this purported evidence to back their anti-gun rights agenda.

And Meadow Sopran… uh, I mean Jennifer, of course, wants you disarmed in case homicidal thugs like Daddy come calling.
As a side issue, Google is really, really suppressing and silencing my voice. It does not list that article, making it impossible to find unless you know about it. And a “Google News” search, which used to return thousands of hits including my AmmoLand stuff, now only results in a handful of hits.

The National Rifle Association saw revenue continue to decline in 2021, when it collected $227 million, the lowest figure in a decade and a 20 percent drop from the year before, according to the group’s most recent IRS filing. Back in 2016, the organization took in a record $367 million. [More]
Bloomberg-“seeded” The Trace takes its mouth off his teat long enough to gloat.
That said, numbers don’t lie, and the board knows what it needs to do to begin to appeal to member confidence. Except Wayne has his fingers dug in and wrapped around the spine, lest he falls off the tiger and gets devoured.

The most high-profile effort has come from Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who has emerged as one of the most prominent critics of what he describes as the corrupting influence of dark money on the court. He has proposed a bill that would treat amicus filers more like lobbyists, subjecting them to registration and financial reporting. [More]
While Sheldon gets to influence as a perk.
That’s pretty rich, considering the indignation is being stirred up by a Bloomberg Machine beneficiary. You know, the same machine that has for years been quietly setting up infrastructure in the states (that means with the media keeping mum) to make legal challenges to infringements necessary…

MA and CA, not to mention Bloomberg Central, ought to have some wailing and teeth gnashing going on. And this means Bonta is going back to Benitez.
Sometimes The Trace can be useful, even though it’s no secret what they’re rooting for.
According to law enforcement, the 18-year-old gunman wore what’s known as a plate carrier: a vest, often made of ordinary fabric, that holds hard armor plates designed to protect against rifle rounds. The legislation signed by Hochul bans the purchase of “body vests,” which are defined in state law as “a bullet-resistant soft body armor.” Soft body armor is flexible, more concealable, and designed to stop small-caliber rounds.

Bloomberg’s The Trace puts the lie to “Enough.” It will never be.
