Good News From Near Total Failure

2A, ATF, bump stocks, firearms, law, Trump

Orange Man had (past tense) two primary accomplishments. One, he kept the satanic states out of a major foreign war. Two, he proved beyond all doubt that the USian system is broken beyond repair. Today, both of those accomplishments stand undone due to 1) the evil of the Ziocons, and 2) the sheer stupidity of the Amerikan people. But we did just get some good news from the reversal of one of Trump’s most idiotic and illegal policies. The 5th Circus has ended the illegal ban on bump stocks that Trump illegally mandated in 2018 after another of those false flag shootings.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit handed down a 13-3 decision Friday striking down the regulatory gun control that banned bump stocks under former President Donald Trump.

The court’s decision was remarkably similar to what I wrote nearly five years ago (again, here today, or elsewhere many years later):

This isn’t merely an affront to the Second Amendment, it’s an APA-driven assault on the Article One legislative authority of Congress. I suppose none of this matters at this rather late hour.

And, nearly two years before his betrayal of his own J6 supporters, and his defeat without even a pretense of a fight against the dark state, I said of the OM Bad:

Vindicated against nonsense by the Mueller report, Trump, via his own unconstitutional actions (and all the broken or false promises), proved himself to be a lowlife sack of shit.

BTW, if you turned in your bump stocks, and/or if you continue to support Crooked Donny, then you are a fool and you will continue to reap your rewards. Otherwise, a little good news for the rest of us.

Deo vindice!

Serial Illegality

2A, firearms, guns, law, serial numbers

A federal judge has correctly held the FEDGOV’s scheme of criminalizing guns without serial numbers unconstitutional.

A federal judge in West Virginia has ruled that a federal ban on possessing a gun with its serial number removed is unconstitutional, the first such ruling since the U.S. Supreme Court dramatically expanded gun rights in June.

Now do the entire NFA and GCA.

False Alarm, Moot Point

Civil War 2.0, firearms, gun control, NRA, Second Amendment

Any movement that goes on long enough or gets big enough eventually turns into a racket. The NRA is no different. 

The National Rifle Association’s former second-in-command is breaking with the group’s orthodoxy and calling for universal background checks and so-called red flag laws in a new book assailing the organization as more focused on money and internal intrigue than the Second Amendment, while thwarting constructive dialogue on gun violence.

The former executive, Joshua L. Powell, who was fired by the N.R.A. in January, reinforces the kind of criticism made of the organization by gun control groups and state regulators, but it is the first critical look at its recent history by such a high-ranking insider.

It’s a good thing that gun control is dead in Amerika. With an all-out civil war bubbling hot, all sides now agree that they need as many guns as possible. That’s a good thing, right???

PS: WP, you know who uses “blocks?” Blockheads! Get it…

Guns To The Rescue?

firearms, government, guns, Michigan, Second Amendment

We know that guns deter ordinary thug criminals or render them harmless. Now, in Michigan, it may just be that they are serving their original purpose: deterring tyranny.

Michigan closed down its capitol in Lansing on Thursday and canceled its legislative session rather than face the possibility of an armed protest and death threats against Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

The gathering, meant to advocate opening the state for business despite the coronavirus pandemic, followed one April 30 that resulted in pictures of protesters clad in military-style gear and carrying long guns crowding the statehouse. They confronted police and taunted lawmakers.

It was always this easy. Make them feel the fear they’d have us all live in. Let this spread to all levels of government and everywhere around the land! Keep ’em honest.

As it should be.

“Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us.” – Petty Tyrant

Every political rat in the country should always have men with rifles directly over it and yelling at it.

Tyrants Get The Rope!

Dozens of protesters gathered outside of the Michigan Capitol Building waving signs and caring firearms demanding to end the state ordered: “Stay At Home” Order.

Protesters’ placards read, “Shut down the lockdown,” ”No work no freedom,” and “Tyrants get the rope.”

It’s about 30 years too late. But the thought is great. Rifles and rope still give a little hope.

Why Not Sue the CIA?

The legacy of MK Ultra lives on and it may be very costly for American manufacturers. Thank you, conservative Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has denied Remington Arms Co.’s bid to block a lawsuit filed by families of victims of the Sandy Hook school massacre. The families say Remington should be held liable, as the maker and promoter of the AR-15-style rifle used in the 2012 killings.

The court opted not to hear the gun-maker’s appeal, in a decision that was announced Tuesday morning. The justices did not include any comment about the case, Remington Arms Co. v. Soto, as they turned it away.

Remington had appealed to the highest federal court after the Connecticut Supreme Court allowed the Sandy Hook lawsuit to proceed in March. In recent court filings, Remington says the case “presents a nationally important question” about U.S. gun laws — namely, how to interpret the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which grants broad immunity to gun-makers and dealers from prosecution over crimes committed with their products.

Remington manufactured the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle that Adam Lanza used on Dec. 14, 2012, to kill 20 first-graders and six adults at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Attention, businesses of any kind. If you sell a product that someone else uses in a crime, then you may be liable. Welcome to Connecticut, 2019. How conservative to step aside and let communists set national policy! Thank you for your service.

There, I did my part for the entanglement with Israel. Oops… wrong story (but, y’all go vote on Tuesday, anyway!). Meaningful! M-E-A-N-I-N-G-F-U-L. Gun control.

The Trump administration is expected to announce its proposal to curb gun violence as soon as next week. But after the Democrats’ fiery debate on gun control, what President Trump will support is far from clear.

The White House has been talking to a trio of lawmakers: Democrats Chris Murphy and Joe Manchin and Republican Pat Toomey. They all support tougher background checks.

After the recent mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas, Mr. Trump called for gun control legislation.

“I’m talking about meaningful, write that word, meaningful, meaningful background checks,” Mr. Trump said on August 9.

Maybe he’ll propose repealing FOPA? Or the horror of 65? We’ll find out soon! However it happens, I bet that treaty will pass the Senate 100-0!

The Ironsides Boys Dig a Hole

Just Another Ordinary Fencepost Hole

 

Larry’s Small Farm in New Hampshire, Saturday, August 31, 2019, 9:04 AM…

 

Bert watched his mother and his sisters ease down the long driveway to the road. He listened until the hum of the Sequoia’s V8 faded away. Then he ran down to the barn, finding “Little” Larry (all six-foot, three inches of him) digging around under the F-250’s bed cover.

‘Lar! They’re off. Bet they won’t be back until the mall closes.’

‘Kay, Bubba. I got everything we need. Let’s go find dad.’

Larry, Jr., recently turned eighteen, and his younger-by-three-years brother rolled gently into the back field, headed towards the distant clump of firs and junipers in the far corner above the woods and just uphill from the creek.

‘They changed the story about the Texas shooter. Again.’ Bert read headlines from his phone. ‘Now, they say it wasn’t random and he spoke to the FBI first. No white supremacy links either.’

‘Yeah. They do that. They’ll change it again. Next, he’ll be a black zionist working for the FBI. Then, they’ll move on to the next one. Dad says they need better scriptwriters.’

‘Is that a red flag or a false flag?’

‘False. But, one leads to the other. Or, it will. That’s why we’re doing our um, fence work today.’

Larry, Jr. slowed as he passed a row of newly dug post holes and a stack of heavy timbers. Behind a large cedar, the boys caught a glimpse of their father, already at work. Big Larry, Larry, Sr., was raising the auger out of a new hole when he noticed the truck approaching. After carefully clearing the PTO assembly, he pulled the John Deere 4052M out of the way and shut it off. He met his boys at the tailgate. 

‘I take it the women are off and shopping?’

Junior answered, ‘Yes, sir. They left about five minutes ago.’

‘Good. We’ll have plenty of time. We can even get another section of actual fence up.’

Bert was still a little puzzled about the logistics and the secrecy. ‘Dad, why can’t we tell mom or Brooke or Liv? Kind of feels like we’re sneaking around.’

‘Well, son, we are. For this operation, the fewer who know anything, the better. Women have a way of … talking about things. We’re not asking for permission or forgiveness. We’re men. We do what we have to without resort to pointless discussion. Especially with something as critical as this.’ He paused as Larry, Jr. pulled the bed cover back. ‘Well, men. Let’s see here. Larry, for your brother’s benefit, why don’t you walk us through what we have? Kind of explain as you load ‘er up’

‘Okay, dad.’ Junior lowered a large black plastic tube to the ground, standing it upright. He unscrewed and removed the lid. ‘This is the Mono Vault. The big one. Now, all we do is fill it with goodies. Start passing me those long flat bags, Bubba.’

‘Are these the new guns we just shot last week?’

‘Yeah.’

‘Why are they sealed up now?’

‘We cycled ‘em to make sure they work. Then, I cleaned the heck out of ‘em. Dad and I soaked ‘em in Cosmoline and vacuum-sealed them last night while you distracted the women. Wicked good job, I’d say.’

Junior lowered the arsenal into the tube – an H&K 416 A5 chambered in 5.56mm, a 417 A2 in 7.62 x 51 NATO, and a Benelli M4 tactical 12-gauge shotgun. 

 ‘The bags keep them dry?’

‘The vault should do that. The grease and the vacuum will keep them from rusting. Thanks, brother, those smaller bags too, now.’

Two H&K pistols, both in .45ACP and both similarly protected, were added. Then came the ammunition – 1,000 rounds of 5.56, 400 rounds of 7.62, 100 rounds of buckshot, and 400 rounds of .45ACP – all neatly packaged. Everything fit perfectly with room to spare.

‘Where’d all this stuff come from? And, whose idea was this?’

Larry laughed. ‘Same answer for both questions – your uncle Thomas. He says that with all that’s happening, it’s time to start caching. He provided the Mono Vault and the guns. Amazon sells the tubes in all sizes and… PVC pipe will work too if they start banning more than guns. And the guns, any good store has. Uh… Tom kindly provided all these, sans any contact or paper trail. He says it’s best not to have any trace of the purchase or ownership. Period.’

‘Well, how’d he get them?’

‘Son, I learned a long time ago that it’s better not to question Tom’s methods. Okay, let’s add the rest now.’

A few more bags and a coffee can rounded out most of the space. Junior continued the explanation. ‘That’s a cleaning kit, magazines, some spare parts, slings and holsters, and a few survival items. Knives and water tablets, etc. Not sure what was in that black bag. Dad?’

‘Another gift from your uncle. Probably auto sears or something for the rifles. A grenade? Better not to know sometimes. Oh! And, I have a few more little things to top it off!’

Larry proudly added a travel humidor full of Cuban Cohibas (also from Tom), a cutter, lighter, and matches, and a bottle of 18-year-old Oban Scotch Whisky. With everything in place, they closed the primary lid and carried the vault to the waiting hole. Larry explained it’s creation,

‘Boys, I’m glad I didn’t have to switch to the backhoe. No big rocks, luckily. I dug out five adjoining holes to match the diameter of the vault with some extra space on the sides. There’s a little dirt down at the bottom. If you could get that, Bert. Thanks.’ He watched as Bert manually lowered some post hole diggers into the ground. ‘Should be a perfect fit. The vault is forty-five inches deep, or tall, and my bit is forty-eight. I  bumped it a little deeper with the hydraulics for a margin. Anyway, it all worked great.’

Bert finished routing out the hole and they lowered the vault into place. Next, they backfilled around the edges, adding several bags of gravel at Larry’s instruction. 

‘It’s very important to keep good drainage. Water can cause these things to buoy up and float. It shouldn’t be a problem with our good soil. Anyway, my going a little deeper will keep the frost away from the lid.’

With the fill added, they lowered and sealed the heavy outer shield lid. That, they covered with about two inches of dirt. 

‘Scrap time, boys.’

The trio started scattering rusty scrap steel and iron in and around the hole. Over the lid, Larry placed a partially bent railroad track plate.

‘What’s all this for?’ Bert asked.

His brother answered, ‘To foil metal detectors.’

‘Yeah,’ added Larry, ‘Not that anyone’s going to be looking way back here. But, if they do, then this junk should throw them off. They’ll just figure it’s old trash and move on. They’d have a hard time finding it anyhow.’

‘How will we find it again in a few years, dad?’

‘Placement is everything. The tube is set equidistant between that large rock and the corner fence post. It’s exactly twenty-one feet between them, so it’s ten and a half feet from the rock to the tube. Remember that. I notched the rock on the right line just to be safe. No-one would ever notice that or understand what it means.’ He pointed to the granite boulder, jutting out of the ground amid the evergreens.

They worked a little more and covered the hole well, blending it with the surrounding ground. In a few weeks, it became undetectable. Later that day, a decent section of the new wooden fence was erected. That evening, while waiting on the women to return, the three lounged around just outside the barn doors. All three enjoyed a few beers, and the Larrys smoked two of the Cohibas, a pair saved from burial at the last moment. 

‘And again, men,’ Larry expounded, ‘Who do we tell about this?’

‘Nobody.’ They answered in unison.

‘That’s right. Okay, I’ll tell Tom later. Show him, in person, rather. He said not to even mention this in code on the telephone.’

‘He’s really serious about all this, isn’t he?’

‘He really is. He expects some sort of gun ban before things get really bad. And he expects the bad part in a decade or so. He’s used the term civil war a few times. Hate to say I trust him, but he does know war. Says if it comes, it will be short, but very bad. Not much that common people can do for the duration. It’s surviving the getting there and the aftermath that matters.’

‘Our little cache will help if it comes to that, dad, Bubba. But, what about … you know, heavier weapons?’

‘Well. The advice from the pro is to stay out of the way while the big actors duke it out. But, he told me that maybe the next time we’re together – sometime soon – he’ll explain in detail how to go arms shopping, for free, courtesy of the government. Again, that’s another subject he’s extremely well versed in.’

‘Dad, speaking of shopping – I see headlights.’

‘Alright! Remember to act impressed by the shoes and purses and so forth.’

They all laughed. It felt good to start a Labor Day weekend with responsible preparedness. For the moment, it felt pretty good finishing those brews and smokes.

AS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AT TPC!

Formatting… Anyway, this story gave me the spark! – things have been a little rougher the past four weeks than I’ve let on – to get back into the FICTION! Just this afternoon, I have powered through the first 102 pages of the novel – maybe the final edit. Getting there! And, soon, friends.

Also, the above featured “prepper” lessons – in dramatic format – for dealing with the coming (it is coming) attacks on the 2A. Be ready. Dig deep. I’ll have … Tom Ironsides will have more suggestions soon. Cheers!

All These Red Flags

Chuck Baldwin, firearms, gun control, red flag

Chuck Baldwin on more reasons to distrust the pols.

Law-abiding gun owners better get a big whiff of reality SOON and realize that if they are going to maintain the right to keep and bear arms much longer, THEY must step up to the plate and defend that right—and I mean RIGHT NOW.

The NRA is compromised and is in complete disarray and is offering NO HELP. Donald Trump has already proven he has ZERO fidelity to the 2nd Amendment (or to the rest of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, for that matter). Most Christians and conservatives are in a state of deep denial and hibernation, believing that their yellow-haired savior would never betray them, in spite of the fact that he has already betrayed them—repeatedly.

It is up to individual freedomists and gun owners who are willing to fight for their right to keep and bear arms to fend off this assault against our 2nd Amendment liberties. Reinforcements are not coming; it is up to YOU AND ME.

It may be too late. I think football season started.

Never Trust a Republican

cowards, firearms, GOP, Second Amendment

The Loser Party prepares another betrayal. Because spinless and stupid.

With President Trump endorsing the idea, a number of Republicans — including Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 2 Republican — are embracing the concept. Mr. Thune told his hometown newspaper, The Argus Leader, that he was “confident Congress will be able to find common ground on the so-called red flag issue.”

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, has already proposed legislation that would offer federal grants to states to help them enact red flag laws, also known as “extreme risk protection orders.” And the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, has asked three committee chairmen to “reflect on the subjects the president raised” and hold bipartisan talks of “potential solutions.”

With Graham, shouldn’t it be more of a Pink Flag law?

The good news is, at this late hour, the laws really don’t matter anymore. We’ll keep the guns. The bad news is, we’ll probably need them.
