GOING BALLISTIC

• Minnesota HF 2850: Advances Semi-Auto Firearm Ban with Warrantless Home Inspections (Savage) Minnesota House File 2850, advanced by Democrats, proposes banning many semi-automatic firearms and mandates warrantless home inspections for registered owners to ensure compliance. The bill targets rifles, shotguns, and pistols with specific features like pistol grips or folding stocks. It passed the House Public Safety Committee on a party-line vote.
• Justice Alito Rumored Retirement Impact on Second Amendment (Bearing Arms Analysis) (Savage) The article discusses rumors of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito retiring in 2026, potentially allowing President Trump to appoint a replacement and solidify a pro-Second Amendment majority. It highlights Alito’s key opinions in cases like Bruen and Rahimi, emphasizing his role in advancing gun rights. A retirement would shift the Court’s balance amid ongoing challenges to gun laws.
• Mexico’s Strict Gun Laws Highlighted After Cartel Response to Leader’s Killing (Savage) Following the killing of a cartel leader, Mexican cartels responded by distributing firearms to civilians, underscoring the ineffectiveness of Mexico’s stringent gun control laws. The article details how only permitted citizens can legally purchase firearms from a single government store in Mexico City, with severe restrictions on calibers and quantities. This incident reveals the stark contrast between legal acquisition barriers and the armed capabilities of criminal organizations.
• West Virginia HB 5596: GOA-Backed Legislation to Restore Lawful Machine Gun Transfers (Savage) Gun Owners of America (GOA) supports West Virginia House Bill 5596, which aims to nullify federal restrictions on machine gun transfers under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The bill would authorize state law enforcement to process and approve lawful NFA transfers, including machine guns, suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns. It seeks to restore Second Amendment rights impaired by federal overreach.
• CPRC Study on Transgender Representation in Active Shooting Attacks (United States) (Savage) A study by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) analyzed 1,022 active shooting attackers from 1958 to October 2024, finding that 0.11% identified as transgender, compared to 0.29% in the U.S. general population per CDC data. Among 173 attackers with known mental health histories, one was transgender. The study highlights underrepresentation of transgender individuals in these attacks relative to their population share.
• New Mexico House Bill 136 Fails in Committee, Blocking Proposed Gun Ban (Savage) New Mexico House Bill 136, which sought to ban commonly owned semiautomatic firearms, was defeated in the House Judiciary Committee on a 6-5 vote. Anti-gun advocates expressed frustration over the bill’s failure despite Democratic majorities in the state legislature. The legislation targeted AR-15 style rifles and similar semiautomatics, drawing opposition from gun rights supporters.

REVIEWS

• Review: Brassguy Jarhead 1 Star. Im glad WLS has turned into minimum of 30 min of advertising. This isnt Unleashed. Get your shit right.

  PS. Jeremy is a cunt.

• Review: JackB 5 Squares!
  We Like Shooting reminds me of the best carp recipe ever created.
  Aaron is the giant Asian carp that jumped into your boat as you were cruising down the river. He just kinda crashes the party and breaks shit, but it’s funny so you roll with it.
  Jerambe is the filet knife you use to carefully make 2 slits along either side of the carp’s spine. No need to gut or scale the carp because it’s better if it’s alive
  Nick is the manure you roll into 1″ diameter balls and carefully place into the slits you carved. He’s kind of unorthodox, but when he starts talking you wanna see where it goes.
  Shawn is the oven you set to 171 degrees and place the food in for 3.5 – 4 hours. He provides the structure and energy for all the magic to happen.
  And finally, Savage1r is the trash can that you throw the carp in after scooping out the filling. Because the balls shit will be the best tasting part of any carp recipe.
