Twitter can be a cesspool but it does come through on occasion.
"Hey Boss, I was wondering, can I bring my gun to work?"

My boss, a nice Indian man, "You own a gun and don't bring it to work?" *lifts his shirt to reveal his conceal carry glock*
God I love Texas.
It seems that Everytown Law and the Brady United are trying to get the Federal Trade Commission to come down on Smith & Wesson for false advertising. You can read their letter here.
However, as Rob Romano of the Firearms Policy Coalition points out, their argument might backfire on them elsewhere. That said, neither Everytown nor Brady have any problem with hypocrisy.
Next time Everytown or Brady calls any of Smith & Wesson's rifles a "weapon of war," remind them that they just told the FTC that "there is no evidence that the military uses such products." https://t.co/2FUfmj9vnV pic.twitter.com/fvbCzEnDIX

The tweet of the day comes from my good friend Prof. David Yamane who writes the excellent Gun Culture 2.0 blog.
"Unprecedented demand" is a reason to deny people the ability to exercise their RKBA? Like of too many people showed up to vote we could just suspend the election? https://t.co/UiWrcFlrQb

As the late Dr. Martin Luther King wrote, “A right delayed is a right denied.”
Government regulation makes us safer. That is, until it doesn’t. This tweet by Donny Ferguson shows this quite succinctly.
Me: Why do we need all these FDA regulations?
— Donny Ferguson đź—˝ (@DonnyFerguson) March 19, 2020
Government: To save lives.
Me: So why are they being waived?
Government: Because lives are at stake.
I know this is in response to the satirical website BabylonBee but it is wonderful.

Jayne Cobb approves!
It would be hard to top this tweet for a tweet of the day or even the week.
I considered selling my weapons “back” to the government, but after a background check and thorough investigation into the buyer, I determined the buyer has a history of violence and is mentally unstable. Big risk to everyone around it.

Just as a side note, how can you have a buy back when it was never owned by the buyer in the first place?
An alternative headline could have been Why (Most) Reporters Shouldn’t Write About Guns.
A Capitol Police officer left a gun in a bathroom… again. And not just any gun. A glock, which fires if the trigger is pulled. Big scoop from @ktullymcmanus: https://t.co/KGP2mcl0MI— Bridget Bowman (@bridgetbhc) February 28, 2019
Every reporter who even mentions a firearm in a story should be required to read this little guide first. The National Shooting Sports Foundation created so reporters aren’t so grossly ignorant about firearms. Obviously, Ms. Bowman did not read it.
The tweet of the day comes from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) who just nails Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) over his attempted “I am Spartacus” moment yesterday.
For those who may have missed it, Booker ostensibly released an email from Judge Brett Kavanaugh that was marked “committee confidential” in what he wanted to be a gotcha moment. When he released it Booker said he would be violating Senate rules by doing so. What he failed to say and what we later found out is that the email was no longer classified committee confidential and Booker knew it. Oh, and by the way, the email showed Kavanaugh arguing against racial profiling post 9-11.
On this day in 71B.C. the Thracian gladiator Spartacus was put to death by Marcus Licinius Crassus for disclosing confidential scrolls. When informed days later that in fact the Roman Senate had already publicly released the scrolls, Crassus replied “Oh, ok, my bad”.— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) September 7, 2018
I haven’t said anything on my blog about the shooting at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs. Part of it because there is more and more coming out. Part of it is because I don’t believe in instant analysis. Finally, part is that I spent the whole weekend taking Massad Ayoob’s MAG-20 Classroom – Armed Citizen’s Rules of Engagement and I am decompressing from that intense experience.
I saw this tweet a bit ago. Former Bush speechwriter David Frum is calling for a lifetime ban on those who “raises a hand against a woman or a child”.
Wow yeah and we could even call it the Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban and codify it at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9) https://t.co/ix7qPbJylH— Matt Bramanti (@mattbramanti) November 6, 2017
The anti’s are saying some of the stupidest stuff. They are calling for new laws when the laws that would have prevented the church murderer from legally obtaining a firearm were already in place. The problem was that someone in the US Air Force screwed up and didn’t report the results of the general court martial in 2013 to the FBI’s NICS check system. Note that this screw up occurred during the Obama Administration.
I found the following amusing though profoundly sad in its implications. At one time the FBI was a very respected institution. Lately it seems they are just another part of the politically-correct deep state who are more concerned with trapping Republicans for minor transgressions than in preventing honest to god, people are gonna die, terrorism.
