After reading this post from Wirecutter and then finding the darn update of the future Acceptable Uses Policy, I am also eliminating PayPal from my transaction tools.

I have enough aggravation with Facebook having me in limbo for 30 days “pending review” of whatever meme was that twisted their Nethers the wrong way without having Paypal engross their bottom line enforcing ethereal morality clauses for the same posts.

Update: Get woke…

I have a relationship with my LGS. The owner knows me. I’ve been buying firearms from him for about 15 or so years now.

When I walk into the shop I’m greeted by name. All of the workers know me by name as well. They all have a good idea of the types of firearms I’m interested in.

The last time I was in he showed me a Winchester saddle carbine in some long dead caliber. It was absolutely beautiful. It was made in the late 1800’s. And he handed it to me to handle. After taking it out of the display case that says “Not for sale.”

Yep, he has a case of beautiful collectable firearms that he is displaying.

At one point you could buy a cannon from him.

If I decide to purchase a firearm from him, he smiles, takes my cash, hands me a 4473 and a pen and waits for me to finish filling it out. It gets typed into the computer or phoned/faxed in. And then we wait.

There is no chance in hell that he would let me walk out the door with the gun I just purchased without the approval from NICS.

But he is under increasing pressure from the ATF.

Last year when I went in there were a couple of dudes sitting in the middle of the store at a table with the bound books. For the couple of weeks they were there he made very few sales. It was an ATF inspection.

In years past he let them work in the back room. Today they are required to be under constant observation. He caught them taking pictures of his bound books. That is when they were moved out of the backroom.

The number of FFLs that have had their licenses denied or revoked is up 500+% from last year. There are a number of articles and YouTube videos talking about people losing their livelihoods because the ATF inspectors have a zero-tolerance policy. What use to be “hey, you have a paperwork error, please fix it” now seems to be turning into a loss of license.

Keith Ellison, the AG for MN, is doing the same thing. Attacking FFLs.

People are going into Fleet Farm retailers. Filling out the 4473s. Getting “proceed” responses from NICS. Walking out the door with their newly purchased firearm.

Keith is suing four Fleet Farm retailers in civil court because they didn’t go above the requirements of the law.

The state alleges that the company knew it was selling to straw purchasers or should have known because buyers exhibited red flags such as buying many handguns at once, making multiple purchases in short periods of time and purchasing at multiple Fleet Farms stores to evade reporting requirements.

See, the FFL, having used the best resource the state could provide him, didn’t intuit that the purchaser was doing a straw purchase.

It seems that one person, Jerome Horton, Jr, purchased two dozen firearms over four months from 4 different stores. Atleast according to a federal affidavit.

So the dude bought 1 or 2 guns a month from each store (4 * 4 * 1 = 16, 4 * 4 * 2 = 32). I’ve been known to buy more than two guns a month for a couple of months. I certainly haven’t sold them to anybody else.

What we are seeing is an increase of lawfare to attack the Lawful Commerce in Arms. Over and over again we see this happening. Even Mexico is doing it. Suing gun companies because the gun companies sold a legal product legally to people that they were told by the government were legally allowed to own those products.

But send them a small sample of illegal aliens and they have now officially lost their shit.

It seems they are having issues housing the lucky “asylum seekers” and developed some tent city to provide for temporary shelter. But I was thinking about all the empty spaces for rent in the Big Apple that could be taken over by the mayor and transformed into proper housing, especially with winter coming. I mean, the city is rich with all the monies coming in in taxes, right?

Federal prosecution of Jamontez Howse, 22, is being considered after Specialized Investigations Division TITANS detectives Wednesday afternoon arrested the convicted felon on gun, auto theft and drug charges. Howse was free after being given a Community Corrections sentence of four years last September for attempted carjacking and auto theft convictions. Those offenses occurred in May 2020.

Undercover TITANS detectives spotted a stolen 2022 Hyundai Sonata Wednesday at a Brick Church Pike apartment complex and began surveilling it. They saw Howse approach the car and get into the driver’s seat. He was accompanied by Deontay Staten, 19, who got into the passenger seat. The two drove away and were followed. They ultimately returned to the apartment complex where Howse got out and Staten transitioned to the driver’s seat. Detectives moved in and detained Howse. Staten put the stolen Hyundai in motion and struck two police vehicles before he got out and started running. He was apprehended after a brief chase. Staten was carrying a Glock semi-automatic pistol loaded with 27 rounds and equipped with an aftermarket switch that made the gun fully automatic. Inside the car was a second semi-automatic pistol loaded with nine rounds laying on the front passenger seat, along with two digital scales and baggies containing 30 grams of cocaine.

I had to look up Community Corrections sentence. according to BJS:

The supervision of criminal offenders in the resident population, as opposed to confining offenders in secure correctional facilities. The two main types of community corrections supervision are probation and parole. Community corrections is also referred to as community supervision.

He was free after given a legal pass on a violent crime because…. I have no idea why they arrive at stupid decisions like that. This is why Nashville is becoming the San Francisco of the Bible Belt.

Tens of thousands of law-abiding Americans are about to become Felons because of the ATF’s pistol brace switcheroo while the scum of the Earth is walking, stealing and dealing armed with pistols illegally modified by gadgets that have been illegal for almost a century, yet the ATF did not do shit about it other than fuck around online setting traps to unsuspected morons. And I doubt the local Feds will take Jamontez’s case lest they are accused of being racist.

This is a follow-up to my post The need for Bruen vs Social Justice.

Crazed NYC homeless man fatally attacked dog in Prospect Park, owner says

A crazed homeless man attacked a dog that was taking a walk in Prospect Park and left the pooch with such serious injuries it later died, the animal’s owner said Wednesday.

The assailant shouted angry comments about immigrants and sprayed a bottle of urine on the 2-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever mix, Moose, and its owner, Jessica Chrustic, 41, before hitting them with a stick so hard the animal suffered a fatal intestinal injury.

“He was just trying to protect me and he was just a dog. Why would you hit a dog? You can hit me, That’s bad enough,” Jessica told the Post, crying.

The fuck us wrong with New Yorkers?

“You can hit me, That’s bad enough.”

No, you can’t hit me or my dog.

Only in New York does a person just accept being beaten by a crazy vagrant with a stick as a normal part of city life.

Jessica said she had seen the man before, as he often walks around with a stick muttering to himself.

She usually tries to avoid him, and when she saw him going through the garbage nearby, she pulled her dog to the side as far away from him as possible.

Jessica said the man reached into his garbage bag, took out a bottle of a liquid, which she later learned was urine, and starting spraying her and her dog.

Jessica tried to escape, running with the dog up some steps — but the man caught up, and jumped and beat them from behind.

The man struck her in the back and her dog in the face with a stick, leaving her with minor injuries, police said.

A nearby woman who was also walking her dog saw the incident and screamed at the man to “Get the f—k away from her,” which led two bikers to stop as well.

The victim and three bystanders and nobody was able to stop this man.

In the land of the unarmed, the vagrant with a stick is king.

I want to know how he hasn’t been caught yet. People have seen him in the parks this weekend. It’s a very specific description. He’s hard to miss,” Jessica told The Post.

The cops won’t do shit.

Progressives won’t do shit.

Nobody will do shit.

A dog murdering vagrant roams free.

That’s the New York brand.

I still can’t get over that a vagrant with a stick chased down and beat a woman and a dog a d three people tried to help and were ineffectual.

These people are utterly disarmed, both physically and mentally.

This is why it’s so important Bruen is enforced.

When a vagrant chases a woman with a stick, she should have the ability to turn around and ballistically perforate his thoracic cavity.

Do it for Moose the dog.

I’m watching She-Hulk.

I’ve suffered through some pretty horrible garbage to bring you analysis of the pop culture and this is no different.

In one scene, She-Hulk is explaining why she occasionally likes being She-Hulk instead of Jennifer Walters.

She says:

“Being able to walk home a night wearing headphones without being afraid.”

Her paralegal responds to that with:

“Every woman’s dream.”

Hod damn, the Leftists that write this are way out of touch.

I’m six-foot, three-inches, 270 lbs of man and I don’t walk down a city street with headphones on.

I’m a security conscious person who understands the importance of situational awareness.

Do these people honestly believe that men can just walk around oblivious to their surroundings and be safe because bro code because guys don’t attack other guys?

No fucking way.

These people live in a bubble that insulates them from reality.

Check out the NICS numbers for this year:

The lowest month so far has still be 2.3 million NICS checks.

Were averaging just over 2.5 million NICS checks per month.

I know that not every NICS check is a new gun sale, but it’s a reasonable approximation.

Gun control is dead.
