A judge has ruled the administration can go forward with it.

The Second Amendment Foundation:

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in federal district court seeking to have federal and state laws preventing persons who, at one time in their lives, were subject to a mental health hold on the exercise of their Second Amendment rights overturned on the grounds that the way those laws and regulations are enforced are in violation of the Constitution.

Bubbas Glock is Baaaaack!

Ruger issued its stock-holder mandated report on gun safety.

No, the NRA Is Not Urging Its Members to Assassinate Gun Control Supporters

190 co sponsors and not one republican.

Enforce the gun laws or I’ll shoot you.

Meanwhile, over at TriggerFinger:

But it seems to me that the better formulation is “Why are violent people gun control activists?”

I suspect the reason, deep down, is that they think you are just as violent and unable to make moral choices as they are.

Of course.

Well, this certainly should surprise the internet.

I didn’t know the Glock 46 was a thing.

Record Number of Americans Call Government Our Biggest Problem

Why you should carry a big gun. Obviously, it depends on your style of dress and other factors but I carry a full-sized with ALL THE BULLETS every day.

Supreme Court Rules that Excessive Fines Clause Applies to States and Constrains Civil Asset Forfeiture
The decision in Timbs v. Indiana is a significant step forward for property rights and civil liberties, though a key issue remains to be resolved by lower courts.

An AR pattern rifle in 7.62×39

I drive a big ass truck. Because I have to. This one, actually. It’s for work. I’ve never understood the appeal of big trucks unless you have to have one for a specific reason. And guys and gals who take their big ass trucks and make them bigger and asser make no sense to me. But it’s a free country (haha). They’re not particularly pleasant to ride in because they are loud, bumpy, and big ass. Not a lot of parking lots (I’m looking at you Chick Fil A) have spaces that are conducive to big ass trucks. Especially if you have 16 inches of heavy duty tow ball hitch hanging the back. I’m taking up 1.25 parking spaces generally.

I haul around 100 diesel tank, tools, and, regularly enough, the occasional piece of heavy equipment. If they had a small car that could haul such things, I’d be in. A few things about big ass trucks:

They don’t come to a stop as well as your car. So avoid pulling out in front of them, especially if they’re hauling a 9,000 pound machine on a 2,000 pound trailer.

When you see a big ass truck coming the opposite direction, get over to your right. I’ve had at least three dumbdicks take out my mirrors while I’m as far over the right as I can get and they’re hugging the yellow line.

We back into a lot of parking spaces because it’s easier to get out.

If you’re riding our tails too close, we can’t see you.

I say all of this because this song came on the radio today and for no other real reason:

Sebastian isn’t that hopeful. I would also offer that the trend away from actual grassroots websites with SEO driven firearms content and social media is a factor. And with social media, they increasingly can manipulate the message.

Dems Oppose Bill Alerting ICE To Illegal Immigrants Trying To Buy Guns

In Cincinnati. Seems the state’s preemption law is why.

No idea what it is.

Background checks stop nothing. Spread that one far and wide. It’s good.

Remember LA county asking contractors about ties to the NRA? Sebastian thinks we should file a civil rights lawsuit against them.

Guy Sagi:

SIG Sauers M18, the compact variant of the U.S. Armys M17 duty sidearm, successfully completed a recent Lot Acceptance Test in which 12,000 roundsmore than double the historical highwater mark of 5,000were run through three different guns with zero stoppages. The required Material Reliability Testing deems up to 12 stoppages within its acceptable limits.

Stops a bad guy with one.

How to Practice Your Drawstroke.

A bill passed a committee with 5 Republican votes. This is a start. Meanwhile, the Democrats have come out with a plan for more gun control.

The Green Meanie

More than 1,700 red flag orders of protection in 2017. The NRA is walking a fine line here regarding second amendment rights and due process. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s a winning issue for anybody.

Well, one of many problems actually:

The problem with socialism is that you can vote your way into it but you need to shoot your way out of it.

From David Codrea:

During the briefing, the Chief Counsels Office provided a written brief and a PowerPoint presentation, which discussed automatically and single function of a trigger. The brief and PowerPoint presentation, based on the intent of Congress and the statutory text, detailed how even the Akins Accelerator was not a machinegun. However, Acting Director Sullivan decided, against the advice of the Chief Counsels Office, to declare the Akins Accelerator a machinegun.

It was political.
