FOIA Request Asks ATF for Valentine’s Day Informant Solicitation Results

So what discourages people from deliberately trying to get the government to do their dirty work for them? At a time when ATF is manically trying to get so-called “ghost guns” banned, they’re soliciting ghost snitches? [More]

Why not make this as "fun" for them as they promise it will be for participants?

Daily Defense Redux

Mark chats with David Codrea. All things current events. [Listen]

Yesterday on Armed American Radio...

Help Wanted, Inquire Within

Arizona NRA State Conference March 26, Volunteers Needed! [More]

That and they could use some gun show help.

Give the Poor Guy a Break -- He's Been Underrepresented and Disenfranchised His Whole Life

 Woke St. Louis DA refuses to charge armed robbery suspect who tried to CARJACK marked police car and pointed gun at officers inside [More]

I thought we'd pretty much agreed that different punishments were going to be a thing...

Point/Counterpoint

Anti-gun forces have hidden New York-style, red flag gun confiscation in HB 1013. [More]

Compare to:

Under federal law, an emergency mental health admission for observation does not count as being “committed to a mental institution” and does not result in loss of firearms rights. [More]

This is the second time in as many days we've come across a state group interpreting things differently than GOA.

Do YOU Believe?

 Sen. Chuck Grassley questions Ketanji Brown Jackson on 2nd Amendment [Watch]

You'll note she didn't answer the question. Saying what the Supreme Court has decided artfully evades stating what she believes, and ol' Chuck either wasn't quick enough to pick up on that or decided her answer gave him all the cover he'll need.

He Who Must Be Obeyed

 Based on ATF’s determination that the FRTs that function as described above are “machineguns” under the NFA and GCA, ATF intends to take appropriate remedial action with respect to sellers and possessors of these devices. [More]

Do you recall ever authorizing George Lauder to tell you what you're allowed to own?

The ratioing is strong.

Safe Space

 Mountain lion captured inside Irvine building [More]

Fortunately, it was never in danger of being shot by any of the people it unexpectedly encountered.

Future 'Real Reporters' of America

UVA student paper says speech it doesn’t like is ‘not entitled to a platform’ [More]

You kids'll fit right in.

At least until they shut you down.

Idiot Opinions are the New Normal

Guns on campus cannot be the new normal [More]

Why not? It is for murderous monsters exploiting "gun-free zones," you ignorant little cud-chewer.

People don't change when they cross a property line on a map.  The truth is, she and those like her don't want anyone having a gun anywhere. They're the same ones who disparage student judgment on the one hand and then demand lowering the voting age on the other.

Figures all this wisdom is coming from a freshman.

 Revealed: Cocaine, cash and jewellery stolen by corrupt cops as scale of inept policing laid bare [More]

Nice to see "Only Ones" are the same the whole world over...

White Privilege on Parade

 A Washington state school board adopted a revised student discipline policy last week telling school officials to take a student’s race into account when determining their punishment. [More]

Well, school boards are elected in "our democracy," aren't they?

Now there's a racially diverse-looking group

Tamper Proof

 One day before jury selection was scheduled to begin in the perjury and evidence tampering trial for the investigator who played a key role in the legal case that led to former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens’ 2018 resignation, that investigator has agreed to a plea deal to forego a trial. [More]

So he was basically a Democrat operative deliberately disenfranchising voters?

New York, New York, It's a Wonderful Town

 'Why did another New Yorker have to die?' ...  [More]

Because you lot won't let them protect themselves and focus on removing guns instead of bad actors? And not to be insensitive or anything, but tell us more about the victim...

We're the Only Ones Gangsta Enough

Inspector general identifies 41 sheriff's deputies who allegedly belong to gang-like groups [More]

Just think-- assuming they don't just execute you, "commonsense gun safety laws" say they can arrest you for being armed without the permission of the ones who deploy them.

Just like the Founders intended, right?

South of the Border, Down Mexico Way

BORDER WARZONE Inside escalating violence in US border town as ‘cartel member filmed aiming AK-47 at Texas patrol helicopter’  [More]

What better way to stop this than by joining with Mexican corruptocrats to sue U.S. gun manufacturers, right, Brady United?

A Happy Ending

Shannon and her gaggle of lunatic Demanding Moms would literally rather the attacker had succeeded.

Other subversive gun-grabbers would call the self-enabled non-victim a "concealed carry killer" and a "vigilante."

DIY?

 Deterrence Dispensed says it's “100% DIY, [with] zero regulated parts, buildable anywhere by anyone.” [More]

The parts may not be regulated but I'm not sure I'd want to spread the word I put together a final build on an NFA  destructive device without first paying the $200 making tax, filing an ATF Form 1 in triplicate with fingerprint cards, and getting it back approved beforehand.

Am I wrong?

Stroke of the Pen, Law of the Land

Higher-education expert proposes new way for Biden to cancel student debt without Congress [More]

Kinda cool, if you're into Marxist tyranny.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with bribing parasites to vote.

In the Service of Enemies Foreign and Domestic

 Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed a package of bills Wednesday tightening the state’s gun laws, including a measure that bans the manufacture, distribution and sale of firearm magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. [More]

Mike would have led a toy drive.

Fish Rotting from Head Down

Hunter Biden had business ties with Xi Jinping himself, bombshell email reveals [Watch]

The real question here: Why do we need to find this out from "alternate media"?

Fighting Back

 Republican lawmakers in Tennessee are nearing final passage of legislation allowing students and staffers to sue public colleges and universities if they feel they’ve been unfairly punished for not accepting “divisive concepts.” [More]

So can we anticipate defamation lawsuits against Twitter and Facebook for in effect libeling users with the accusations they use to justify banning them?

Now Think About Who She WOULDN'T Have Tried This On

How One Bad Teacher Almost Destroyed a New Mexico Family Using the State as a Weapon [More]

Having been raised by normals with morals, good people just aren't mentally and emotionally equipped to do what needs to be done to persuade such creatures to back off when the law fails liberty. Yet good people are exactly the ones the lying violence monopolists call "concealed carry killers," just itching for a chance to have their "murder insurance" pay off.
