The willful self-delusion of the gun control side :: 08/17/2023

I get that not everyone agrees with me on gun control. I can accept it, even if I don’t like it. After all, if everyone agreed with folks like us on gun control, there wouldn’t be any threat to our Second Amendment rights.

Details Leaked on Biden Admin’s Sneaky Firearms Background Check Power Grab :: 08/15/2023

Last week, we reported on the Biden Administration’s treacherous move to defund scholastic archery, hunting, and marksmanship programs under an obscure provision of the Orwellian Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA). The BSCA has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving for extreme and persecutory gun control, to the mortification of some of its more moderate supporters who thought they were voting for provisions aimed at reducing crime and increasing access to mental healthcare. Now, details are emerging of Biden’s latest plans to leverage the sprawling, sinister act in his continued pursuit of civilian disarmament. This time the target is eliminating the age-old practice of noncommercial, private firearm sales.

The best defensive move to make in the "Long Game" to destroy our rights :: 08/15/2023

Last week, the proto-fascist organizations supporting gun control got together to celebrate their scheme to destroy our right to keep and bear arms. “Gun Sense University 2023” featured many speakers, training sessions, and “campaign action,” all in furtherance of their goal of destroying the Second Amendment and anything that gets in the way, whether it’s free speech, privacy, or due process. (Note: Proto-fascist is a very harsh word to use, and I wouldn’t be using it if not for their actions.)

Philly men allegedly used soldier's stolen ID to buy guns :: 08/14/2023

We’ve long argued that criminals don’t buy guns lawfully. Even if the guns themselves come from gun stores, they’re not the result of a sale where everyone was above board. Usually, they’re from straw buys.

NAGR sues ATF over forced reset trigger ban :: 08/13/2023

When President Donald Trump had his ATF reclassify bump stocks as machine guns, it started an avalanche of problems. After all, a bump stock doesn’t change how a gun functions. It just lets people conduct that single pull of the trigger a whole lot faster.

DOJ attorney drops motion to chill media from reporting on 'Autokey’ case :: 08/12/2023

 The last couple of days I’ve reported on a dystopian motion that was filed seeking to silence journalists from reporting on a high-profile case. Assistant United States Attorney Laura Cofer Taylor applied to the judge presiding over United States of America v. Ervin and Hoover in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, to have journalists John Crump and Richard Hughes censored, any fruits of their labors destroyed, and be subject to any other penalties the court would see fit. Crump and Hughes filed an emergency challenge to Taylor’s request and a group of 17 of the biggest online video journalists joined the pair by supporting them via an amicus brief. As reported by Crump during a live stream video with Hughes, and fellow video journalist Mark Davis, aka “DLD After Dark,” the motion to censor the lot was withdrawn.

Delusional City Leadership – Criminals Are Making Our Cities Safer! :: 08/11/2023
