Pro-gun rights

It’s important to note, as the Archdiocese points out, that “Allegations are claims that have not been proven as true or false. Therefore, guilt or innocence should not be assumed.” While that’s true enough, it’s curious that creatures of the left only play that card when it works in their favor. [More]Presumption of innocence? How about for all who must prove they're not guilty by being subjected to prior restraint "background checks," red flag confiscations, and default bans on owning guns we're not to be "trusted" with?

 While infections, hospitalizations, and deaths from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic overshadowed nearly all other health issues in the US in 2020, the problem of firearm injuries and deaths has continued unabated.  [More]

Only in "progressive" s***holes, you damned academic frauds.

How's the "gun pandemic" among the most heavily armed population on the planet, the 5M or so NRA members?

And who's paying you to do their bidding under the guise of "science"? Does that "State of Washington" disclosure include any money from the Seattle gun and ammo tax, literally like a "bullet fee" totalitarians extort?

I wonder if anyone ever walked up to Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH1,2; Fredrick E. Vars, JD3; Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, MD, MPH, PhD1, and told them to eat a bag of d...

President-Elect Biden’s gun plan says that he “will convene a national Task Force with federal agencies, state leaders, advocates, law enforcement, and technology experts to study rampant online sexual harassment, stalking, and threats, including revenge porn and deepfakes — and the connection between this harassment, mass shootings, extremism and violence against women.” Under Biden’s plan, the task force will develop strategies and recommendations for federal and state governments, social media platforms, schools, and other public and private organizations, and the task force “will consider platform accountability, transparent reporting requirements for incidents of harassment and response, and best practices.” Sounds good, doesn’t work.

With gun and ammo sales already through the roof, an anti-2A administration prepared to move into the White House, and now a flip in the Senate, we can all expect a wild ride for the next four years. ATF continues to impose their will on Federal Firearms Licensees around the country, and will only be emboldened and empowered by the new lawmakers. [More]

Not just "laws".

And we ain't seen nothin' yet. Believe it.

I've told WoG readers about FFLGuard many times over the years but just want to make it clear again: I'm not a paid pitchman for them.  I bring it to your attention because in a past life I was responsible for creating audit compliance documentation in highly regulated environments, and know that avoiding violations in the first place is better than paying the price for them.

And then there are the invented violations... 

Hell, if I had my way, there would be no demand for what they do because infringements would not be tolerated. Since that's not the world we're living in, if you're an FFL, take some time to look around and ask some questions.

If such an edict is passed-- and seeing as how we're talking Virginia it bloody well could be -- it will be as effective as posting this sign, which I won't be surprised to see required, right down to defining size requirements:

 

Case in point, note how before DeWine had signed the bill, ABC’s Cincinnati affiliate, WCPO9, was giving voice to demonstrably false claims by “the local chapter of the NAACP” (as an aside, shouldn’t it now be the “NAAPOC”?). [More]

Who thinks a leftist agenda smearing defense of self, community, and country as racist is really about "commonsense gun safety"?
