Erdogan gives Magnum revolver with ammunition to those at Summit

Turkish President Distributes Loaded Revolvers to NATO Leaders at Alliance Summit

with his name engraved on them

Western leaders came to Turkey to discuss security in an increasingly perilous world. They each left with a revolver and six rounds.

The unconventional gift of Gumusay .357 Magnums from the host of this week’s NATO summit, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was meant to showcase his country’s growing defense industry.

But it left officials across the alliance scratching their heads. Some were forced to leave their gifts behind due to gun laws in their countries, while others donated theirs to museums.

“It struck me that ⁠my gift of maple syrup kind of undermatched,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters, adding that the firearm was now in police possession. “I would like to reassure Canadians, they keep guns away from me.”

Illegals/Traffickers arrested

Eleven illegal immigrants from Venezuela and Colombia indicted in multi-state sex trafficking, drug, and firearms case

Federal prosecutors have charged eleven Venezuelan and Colombian nationals in a sweeping, 30-count indictment alleging the sex trafficking of a minor, drug trafficking, and illegal firearms trafficking across at least four states.

Ten of the eleven defendants were arrested Tuesday in coordinated law enforcement operations spanning Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida. One defendant remains at large, with a listed residence in Mexico.

The case, announced by the Department of Justice, lays out an alleged criminal network that operated across state lines, trafficking at least nine firearms, selling ecstasy, and, most disturbingly, conspiring to sex traffic a girl between the ages of 14 and 18 along with an adult woman in central Ohio.

Ten of the eleven defendants are currently in the United States illegally. That fact alone should sharpen the focus for anyone still debating whether the federal government has an obligation to know who is inside this country and what they are doing here.

Semiautomatic firearms ban in Virginia

Virginia prosecutors refuse to enforce Spanberger's semiautomatic firearms ban, citing Constitution

More than a dozen county prosecutors across Virginia have declared they will not enforce Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger's ban on modern semiautomatic firearms, setting up one of the sharpest confrontations between local law enforcement and a state government over Second Amendment rights in recent memory.

The law, SB 749, which Democrat Governor Spanberger signed on May 14, bans a list of common firearm features and labels weapons possessing them "assault firearms." Within days, pro-Second Amendment organizations, the National Rifle Association, the Second Amendment Foundation, and the Firearms Policy Coalition, filed legal challenges. But the courtroom fight is only half the story.

On the ground, the prosecutors who would be responsible for bringing cases under the new law are saying, one after another, that they simply won't do it.

Their reasoning is not political posturing. It is grounded in specific Supreme Court precedent, and in the text of both the U.S. and Virginia constitutions.

The Policy That Made American Warriors Into Sitting Ducks

Hegseth Just Ended the Policy That Left Soldiers Defenseless for 35 Years

A gunman at Fort Stewart, Georgia opened fire on his fellow soldiers on August 6, 2025 – and every soldier who could stop him was unarmed. Six of them charged toward the gunfire anyway and brought him down with their bodies.

Now Pete Hegseth just signed a memo that changes what happens the next time someone opens fire on a US military installation.

For 35 years, a 1992 Pentagon directive effectively disarmed the U.S. military on its own soil.

Carrying a personal firearm on a U.S. military installation was prohibited. Military police could carry. Soldiers actively training could carry their service weapons. Everyone else – the sergeants, the logistics specialists, the medics going to work every morning – was disarmed the moment they walked through the gate.

Hegseth put it plainly. "Effectively, our bases across the country were gun-free zones," he said Thursday. "Unless you're training, or unless you are a military policeman, you couldn't carry. You couldn't bring your own firearm for your own personal protection onto post."

"Well," he added, "that's no longer."

Washington DC totally armed

President Trump Orders All DC Guard Members Be Armed

The War Department confirmed Tuesday that every National Guard member patrolling Washington, D.C., is now fully armed. This crucial decision protects our deployed troops and aligns with the Trump administration’s commitment to Law and Order missions.

War Department press secretary Kingsley Wilson confirmed the essential safety measure. Wilson told reporters during a morning press conference, “I can confirm that everybody in D.C. is now armed.”

She added that many Guard troops are now conducting joint patrols alongside local police. Wilson confirmed, "Their safety, of course, is top of mind, and we will continue to make sure they're able to do their jobs in keeping all of our great Americans safe across our country.”

Watch some Democrat complain.

Hypothetical or a Democrat possibility?

Deranged Gun Grab Proposal Includes Chilling Door-to-Door Seizure Plan

In a stunning admission that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, CNN panelist and longtime anti-Trump figure Jonah Goldberg (he says he is a conservative) articulated a deeply unsettling hypothetical.

During a panel discussion, Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, openly contemplated the possibility of a future Democratic administration weaponizing the military against American citizens. This chilling idea, presented under the guise of a rhetorical argument, reveals the very real authoritarian impulses that conservatives have long warned fester within the progressive left.

Goldberg’s comments emerged from a conversation about violent crime in major cities exclusively run by Democrat leadership. He attempted to draw a false equivalence between President Donald Trump’s considered use of federal resources to restore order and protect citizens in lawless jurisdictions and a potential Democratic president’s desire to confiscate constitutionally protected private property.

The panel was discussing Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s recent executive order, a desperate move intended to block federal assistance from addressing his city’s rampant, out-of-control crime crisis.

It was in this context that Goldberg laid bare a progressive fantasy. He framed his alarming suggestion not as a warning of overreach he would oppose, but as a logical precedent he seemed to endorse.

He asked, “What is to stop—given the precedent that Donald Trump is setting—what is to stop a Democrat, a Governor Pritzker, a Governor Newsom, from saying, ‘We have a gun crisis in America, just as legitimate on the facts and arguments as a crime crisis, and we’re going to send the National Guard into states to go get their guns’?”

Constant Struggle in the Courts over the 2nd Amendment

Court Upholds Ban on ‘Unusually Dangerous Weapons’

A federal appeals court Thursday refused to block two Connecticut gun control laws despite arguments that they violated the Second Amendment.

The laws faced two separate challenges from the National Association for Gun Rights, the Second Amendment Foundation, and others, who asked the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to temporarily block the laws.

But on Thursday, a three-judge panel of the court declined to do so, saying the laws were constitutional because they preserved “numerous legal alternatives for self-defense” despite their restriction of “unusually dangerous weapons.”

The challenged laws included a 2013 ban on certain firearms and large capacity magazines—passed in response to the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, CT—and a 2023 law that further restricted access to what gun control advocates call “assault weapons.”

The groups opposing the laws based their challenge largely on the 2022 Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which said that laws restricting guns must be rooted in U.S. “history and tradition.” They also cited District of Columbia v. Heller, a landmark case from 2008 that held that the Second Amendment “confer[s] an individual right to keep and bear arms.”

The National Association for Gun Rights says it plans to return to the district court, where the case will be heard on the merits.

Operation Take Back America Delivers Historic Results

Largest Fentanyl Bust in U.S. History: Trump’s War on Cartels Delivers Devastating Blow to Sinaloa Operation

The Trump administration’s war on drug cartels has achieved a monumental victory with the largest fentanyl seizure in DEA history.

Within weeks of President Trump designating Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced an unprecedented operation resulting in the seizure of over 400 kilograms of deadly fentanyl – enough to kill millions of Americans.

And this historic drug bust just validated Trump’s tough stance on border security that Democrats mocked for years.

Federal agents seized a staggering amount of drugs, cash, weapons, and luxury vehicles in a multi-state operation targeting one of the most dangerous drug trafficking organizations operating in the United States.
  • Over 4 million fentanyl pills – DEA’s biggest pill seizure ever
  • $4,433,000 in drug money stuffed in safes and hidey-holes
  • Nearly 12 kilos of pure fentanyl powder – enough to kill millions
  • 41 weapons – including untraceable “ghost guns” and automatic weapons
  • Luxury rides including a Ford Raptor, Mercedes AMG, and a souped-up Dodge TRX Mammoth
  • Piles of meth, heroin, and cocaine
The feds busted up a sprawling Sinaloa Cartel operation with raids in New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

Cory Booker and Staffer Raise Security Concerns

Cory Booker staffer detained for unlicensed pistol at Capitol

Authorities recently took a congressional aide linked to Big Mouth Senator Cory Booker (is he still running his mouth in the Senate?) and a key member of this staff since 2013, into custody.

"According to Fox News, Authorities arrested Kevin A. Batts after he and Senator Booker bypassed a standard security screening at the U.S. Capitol.

On a late Monday evening, Senator Cory Booker and his aide, Kevin A. Batts, navigated the corridors of the Hart Senate Office Building. Notably, they bypassed the usual security checkpoint managed by the U.S. Capitol Police.

It was outside the Senate Galleries that Batts disclosed to Capitol Police officers his possession of a firearm. He was then arrested for lacking a valid license necessary for carrying a pistol.

Capitol rules are stringent with no allowances for firearms on the premises, a policy applying universally regardless of one's former law enforcement role or permits from other states. Kevin Batts, in this instance, could not leverage his background as a retired Newark police detective to mitigate the situation."

Restoration of Gun Rights

Trump Bids To Restore Second Amendment Rights

Since 1992, a congressional restriction known as the “Schumer Amendment” has prohibited the ATF from processing applications for relief from federal firearms disabilities, making the existing statute effectively obsolete.

The new rule removes the Attorney General’s delegation of authority to the ATF and instead allows the Attorney General’s office to directly process these petitions.

Mexico attempting to hold gun manufacturers accountable for cartel killings

Supreme Court likely to shoot down Mexico's $10B lawsuit against US gun makers

Both conservative and liberal justices seemed unwilling to allow the Mexican government to hold gun manufacturers accountable for cartel killings south of the border via their $10 billion lawsuit.

The federal government has granted extensive immunity to the firearms industry, as ABC News reported, to shield businesses from potentially bankrupting lawsuits.

Companies refute Mexico's claims that the statute permits "aiding and abetting" the illegal sale and trafficking of firearms.

Smith & Wesson, Glock, Beretta, and Colt are among the corporations the nation accuses of selling and marketing firearms with the intent to facilitate human trafficking.

Harris is a Serial liar

Kamala Harris Stuns Social Media for Answer on Question About Gun Ownership

I think she stunned all conservatives with all her answers on everythun--ALL LIES!

Harris made waves on social media Tuesday night, revealing during the debate that she and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are gun owners.

In Philadelphia, Republican candidate Donald Trump criticized Harris, claiming she had moved away from her previous far-left views since becoming the nominee.

"She wanted to defund the police. She planned to take away everyone’s guns. She was all for fracking until recently," Trump said.

Later, Harris fired back, clarifying her stance and dropping the bombshell that both she and Walz own guns.

"I’ve been clear on fracking, and as for guns, Tim and I are both gun owners. We’re not taking anyone’s guns away. Stop the lies," she said.

SCOTUS Bans Guns for Domestic Abuse Suspects

Supreme Court upholds law barring domestic abusers from owning guns

The Supreme Court upheld a 30-year-old law on Friday that bars people with restraining orders for domestic abuse from owning firearms. Chief Justice John Roberts described the ruling as “common sense.”

In an 8-1 decision, the Justices found that historically, gun laws often included provisions preventing individuals “who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms."

Justice Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenter, saying there wasn’t a "single historical regulation" that justified the ban.[The Flyover]
“The court and government do not point to a single historical law revoking a citizen’s Second Amendment right based on possible interpersonal violence,” Thomas wrote. “Yet, in the interest of ensuring the Government can regulate one subset of society, today’s decision puts at risk the Second Amendment rights of many more.”

Bump Stock ruling by Supeme Court

Supreme Court Issues MASSIVE Ruling For Second Amendment

Bump stock ban is unconstitutional

In a pivotal decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 opinion that the federal ban on bump stocks is unconstitutional. This verdict marks a significant victory for gun rights advocates and is expected to challenge state-level bans on the controversial firearm accessory.

The ruling stems from a case brought by Michael Cargill, a Texas gun store owner who purchased two bump stocks in 2018. Following the federal ban, Cargill turned over his bump stocks to the government and subsequently filed a lawsuit to reclaim them.

The ban, which was passed under the Trump administration and subsequently approved by Biden aimed to curtail the use of bump stocks, which increase the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms.

Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for the majority, dismantled the premise of the federal ban with a pointed argument: “A bump stock does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun any more than a shooter with a lightning-fast trigger finger does. Even with a bump stock, a semiautomatic rifle will fire only one shot for every ‘function of the trigger.’” This assertion underscores the distinction between enhancing firing speed and altering fundamental firearm mechanics.

Judge restricts evidence in Hunter Biden trial

Democrat Judge restricts use of 'salacious' evidence in upcoming Hunter Biden gun trial

The next few months are certain to be filled with stress and embarrassment for the entire Biden family, but first son Hunter got at least some good news last week from the federal judge overseeing one of his criminal cases.

As Fox News reports, Judge Maryellen Norieka, presiding over Hunter Biden's upcoming trial on gun charges, ruled Friday that prosecutors will be barred from using certain, arguably salacious evidence against the president's son.

According to the outlet, Norieka determined that special counsel David Weiss and his team will be prohibited from introducing any references to Hunter Biden's discharge from the U.S. Navy as they attempt to secure a conviction for alleged violation of federal firearms laws.

Furthermore, the prosecution team will not be able to introduce information about Hunter Biden's child support battles concerning his young daughter, born out of wedlock, who is currently living in Arkansas.

Even with the restrictions placed on the prosecution by Norieka, it seems likely that numerous, highly embarrassing details of Hunter's past life will emerge at trial, given the witnesses who are expected to be called.

Merrick Garland tgrying to shred the Constitution

Ron DeSantis dropped the hammer on Merrick Garland for this assault on freedom

Merrick Garland knows that his time could be limited weaponizing the Justice Department.

Now he is trying to shred the Constitution on his way out the door.

And Ron DeSantis dropped the hammer on Merrick Garland for this assault on freedom. Biden administration launches plan to make private transfer of firearms illegal.

President Joe Biden and his rogue Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), announced a plan to make the private sale or transfer of firearms illegal, without conducting a federal background check, under the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, a bill passed with the support of Senate RINOs.

Anyone who transfers a firearm would be considered a firearms dealer.
