  • Walz Security Detail Squad Break In

    A Minnesota state trooper’s squad, which was part of Gov. Tim Walz’s security detail, was broken into on Friday in Minneapolis, I wonder if a gun or any other weapons were stolen? If one had, I doubt they’d tell the media. And was the squad marked or un-marked? The Woodchuck doesn’t need to worry though.…

  • Your Braces And Trump

    In a March 16 court filing, the ATF quietly admitted that it continues to enforce its interpretation that some pistol-brace-equipped firearms are unregistered short-barreled rifles (SBRs)—a federal felony carrying up to 10 years in prison—despite the fact that the rule that codified that interpretation has been universally vacated. 2A must dispense with the pretense that…

  • More On ‘In Common Use’

    The following was recently sent to me and is well worth a read, regarding the “in common use” legal theory “professional” 2A advocates for, Rather than deter tyranny, a dictated inferiority would invite it. To argue otherwise is to argue the Founders thought sending an outmatched yeomanry to their slaughter was “necessary to the security…

  • NRA Foundation Update 3-28-26

    After looking at the amended complaint that the NRA filed, it now makes sense why NRA President Bill Bachenberg became a named plaintiff. The NRA president was added as a trustee in the 2014 version of the bylaws, but that position was taken away in the 2024 version. In the 2024 version, the executive vice…

  • AR15’s Are Not Protected By 2A

    AR15’s are not protected by the Second Amendment… Link, here. I replied to them, Link, here. My response ruffled some feathers in the comments section. But why? Why does 2A, especially professional 2A insist on shooting itself in the foot by shouting “in common use” and then trying to spend ages explaining and defending things…

  • Store Mags Loaded Or Unloaded?

    The idea that keeping a magazine loaded will “wear out” the spring is a common misconception. The real wear and tear on magazine springs comes from cycling — loading and unloading rounds repeatedly. Springs in quality magazines are designed to stay under compression for extended periods without losing their strength. Personally I keep some magazines…

  • Post Office Carry & Trump

    Unsatisfied with the ruling, the DOJ immediately filed a motion to limit the scope of the injunction to only the named individual plaintiffs and to members of SAF and its partner organizations who were members when the complaint was originally filed and who have been identified and verified. That, of course, prompted both the Firearms…

  • W.V. Machine Guns & NRA

    According to lawmakers who spoke with Crump, a lobbyist allegedly pressured legislators to oppose the bill while implying he was acting on behalf of the NRA. I was looking at NRA-ILA, and could find no mention of the W. VA machine gun bill. Nothing. And when I search the main NRA website, However, when Crump…
