State National Firearms Act (NFA) Weapons Regulations Map [More]

Our friends at American Gun Owners Alliance have created a useful interactive map that drives you right down to the sections and text of the laws, as well as links to other state gun laws.

Founder Dave Dalton also tells me they're still working on Puerto Rico, which has big changes coming in January. For now, the only "official" copy is in Spanish, and he's been informed there probably won't be an authorized English translation until Spring.

Dave also tells me they "have started the process to become a 501(c)(4), we didn't raise as much as we had hoped," to which I almost sent him back a link to Gomer.

Who will help me plant the wheat?

As I said when I introduced AMGOA to AmmoLand readers:

If, after seeing what AMGOA offers – and what it can offer if allowed to grow – you agree that you get value from the efforts, then simply do the right thing. Join and help. But that’s not all. Please spread the word. If you’re on it, use social media. Tell your gun-owning friends. Tell your gun club. Tell the gun shops and ranges you patronize. If you belong to a state or national group, ask them to start a mutually beneficial relationship with AMGOA.

 My hope is that regulars here will see the value and do these simple and warranted things.

But Reeling in Style

Inside Wayne LaPierre’s Battle for the N.R.A. How an internal power struggle, a New York State investigation and accusations of fraud and betrayal on all sides have left the longtime leader of the gun-rights organization reeling... [More]

I'd characterize it more as hanging on for dear life.

Somehow, 'Horrendous' Doesn't Quite Sound Strong Enough

It is horrendous that our government would cover up the murders of Americans by Mexican cartels, merely to help politicians get reelected and hide their efforts to destroy our gun industry through Fast and Furious. [More]

Tell me about it.

As for the Trump administration, who do you think is withholding information despite opportunistic promises to the contrary?

We're the Only Ones Internalizing Enough

The city won't say what the investigation is about, but the department has a storied history of misusing internal affairs to retaliate against officers who higher-ups didn't like. [More]

I guess anything's possible.

I'd ask what the equivalent of a Happy Meal is over there, but then realized it'd also probably have to be Halal...

That's as Many as There are Dalmations!

The following six localities became sanctuaries tonight, making the total 101! [More]

I note a couple "4 to 1s" in there and hope the locals are keeping tabs to make them pay.

UPDATE: That makes 90%.

Someone Else to Blame

Are Cuomo and the legislature prepared to face the consequences when even the volitional act of drinking alcohol, and presumably taking drugs as well, vitiates the capacity to be responsible for choices, like getting shit-faced and then having sex? [More]

You'd think such patronizing and treating them like retards would offend a liberated woman.  But it's not like "progressives" have to be consistent as long as they get what they want.

Obvious... Paging Captain Obvious...

Government Funded 'Gun Violence' Research Is Really Political Propaganda [More]

My observation about the Republicans who OK'd this is equally obvious.

Do the Math

Pay close attention to this insanity. It's not just about rewarding law-breakers with driving privileges. Our country's election integrity is under siege by foreign influence. Mass migration, legal and illegal, is bringing in millions of potential new voters who support gun control, socialized medicine, expanded welfare, free speech restrictions and resistance to immigration enforcement. Do the political math... [More] 

I have.

But when it comes to applying it to RKBA advocacy, the equations are mysteriously ignored by those who you'd think would stand to lose the most.

Piecekeeping Mission

A shocking number of uniformed and non-uniformed peacekeeping personnel have been linked to human rights abuses including sexual exploitation, rape, and even unlawful deaths. [More]

Which goes a long way in explaining this...

We're the Only Ones Trolling Enough

Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo resigned his post days after he admitted to creating a fake Twitter account to taunt one of his critics. [More]

That's a shame -- he seemed so suited for the job.

Captain's Log

• Blame Canada
• Tar Heel tyranny
• Buying the farm
• Witness to History

O, Canada

Victims of a mass shooting in Toronto have launched a class action lawsuit against gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson, alleging the company failed to implement key safety features in its weapons that could have prevented the 2018 attack. [More]

So the psycho son of Pakistani immigrants steals a gun from a dealer that does not incorporate non-existent technology and the solution is to go after the manufacturer?

This is an act of official extortion against a U.S. firm that has abided by all mutually-agreed upon export/import terms. If this is allowed to go forward, it will make all legal gun sales to Canadian citizens cost-prohibitive. The proper response to that would be to cease all arms sales to the Canadian government and then start imposing other sanctions.

Ideological Transitioning

The University of Virginia’s Beta Bridge has played host to student messages for some 50 years. Most recently, the bridge featured the mural “PROTECT BLACK TRANS WOMEN,” but this was painted over during the weekend with a pro-Second Amendment slogan. [More]

So it became the Alpha Bridge?

We're the Only Ones Goulish Enough

A charge of felony burglary was filed Tuesday, Dec. 17 against former Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy Janelle Gericke who prosecutors say broke into or tried to break into homes of grieving families, including that of a beloved Lake Mills firefighter, and the home of a co-worker who was out of town. [More]

Sometimes you just gotta wonder if departments go out of their way to recruit the most outrageous moral defects they can find.

On a positive note, Rev. Bill Kirlin-Hackett is "not personally offended by it" but does worry about social media opinions of "collective work."

We're the Only Ones Fatherly Enough

Former Austin police officer VonTrey Clark on Monday confessed to the murder of Samantha Dean and their unborn child, reversing his initial not guilty plea and ending a high-profile murder case just months before it was set to go to trial. [More]

In case you were wondering what he did when he made it home at the end of his shift...

We're the Only Ones Custodial Enough

Arkansas Sheriff Charged with Assaulting Three Individuals in Custody [More]

Now remember, he deserves the same presumption of innocence law enforcement would give you under a Red Flag order...

We're the Only Ones Influential Enough

The court register from 48th District Court shows only one charge for Lake Angelus Police Chief Mike Farley, operating under the influence. Possessing a gun while under the influence is a misdemeanor that was not charged in the case. [More]

It's not like it's a problem -- unless you're not an "Only One."
