3. SURPRISE! VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT'S GUN-CONTTOL AGENDA DRIVING GUN SALES WAY UP!
Gun-controllers are incapable of learning that gun owners are not giving up their guns or their magazines. When under threat, we buy even more guns and magazines. And the threat brings many of those on the fence to purchase their first gun!
So rather than getting rid of “assault firearms” or magazines that hold more than x rounds, they actually increase ownership of those items!

4. VSP TRIES TO CALM FEARS OVER DOOR-TO-DOOR CONFISCATION
Again, it is important to get your news from reputable sources, so that you don’t jump off the deep end.
Apparently, the Virginia State Police have gotten enough calls from concerned gun owners about possible door-to-door confiscation that VSP had to put out a public statement saying that none of the bills on the Governor’s desk call for confiscation. This panicky situation was caused by bad information and possibly confusing Virginia with Rhode Island, where there is a confiscation bill in their General Assembly. I doubt that bill will make it into law, but we’ll see.
Some gun owners have said on X.com that VCDL should head off confiscation at the pass. I understand being concerned but putting together a campaign to fight a non-existent problem, and one that might never materialize, is a waste of resources.
Rest assured that in the highly unlikely event that a bill to do door-to-door confiscation is introduced in the 2027 General Assembly, VCDL will have 6 months to fight it and we would pull out all the stops in the fight. Such a law in Virginia could trigger a civil war if it became law and was enforced. That would be an unthinkable disaster for everyone.
-
Even without door-to-door confiscation, gun bans are unconstitutional and DANGEROUS. Here is what happened to a New Jersey law enforcement officer because he had a couple of AR-15s left to him by his father that he never even used. Unbelievable. If there is anything positive in this video, it’s that at least off-duty law enforcement officers in NJ are treated just as badly as regular citizens.
5. ANOTHER REMINDER TO ALWAYS CARRY
This was posted by President Trump on Truth Social. Caution: the video shows a woman being bludgeoned to death by a miscreant who was breaking car windows with a hammer.
She went from being alive, to unconscious, to being beat with a hammer over and over again in just a few seconds. I’m sure when she was getting dressed for the day, that she had no idea this would be her last day.
CARRY!
6. UNBELIEVABLY SAILOR PATRICK ADAMIAK IS STILL IN PRISION AFTER BEING CONVICTED ON FAKE ATF MACHINE GUN CHARGES
The Trump DoJ needs to step up to the plate and release Patrick Adamiak, who was railroaded by ATF back in 2021, convicting him of something that wasn’t a crime. This continues to be a huge miscarriage of justice.

7. BLAST FROM THE PAST: DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE SUFFERING FROM GUN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME?
Do you know someone suffering from Gun Derangement Syndrome?
Gun Derangement Syndrome, or GDS, is a severe mental disorder characterized by irrational beliefs and behaviors despite objective evidence. There is no age, sex, race, or other demographic characteristics that predispose someone to this disorder. This insidious disorder can affect anyone. However, individual susceptibility can occur with other irrational beliefs such as: criminals are the victims, the police cause crime, the First Amendment includes government censorship, or disarming someone makes them safer.
To receive a diagnosis of GDS one must meet 3 of the following diagnostic criteria for at least 21 days.
- A belief that merely owning a gun can turn any good, honest person into a deranged killer.
- A belief that a gun can plan a crime and carry it out by walking to a victim’s location, aiming itself, and pulling its own trigger.
- An obsession with firearms such that they use a gun-centric vocabulary. For example, if they use “gun violence,” but not machete violence, beating violence, or strangling violence. Or they use “gunman,” but not macheteman, beatingman, or stranglingman.
- A belief that the gun, and not the criminal holding the gun, is responsible for shooting someone, while also believing that a police officer, and not his gun, is responsible for shooting someone.
- A belief that all gun owners are “gun nuts.”
- A belief that guns are so easily obtained that guns are found lying in the street. Or they believe that guns are easier to obtain than a book. Or they believe that guns are only designed to kill humans as fast as possible.
- Having anger-management issues and falsely projecting that character flaw onto peaceful gun-owners.
- Knowing absolutely nothing about guns, including how they work, but claim to be an expert on “gun safety.” They usually believe that guns “just go off” on their own. They often call for a ban on “assault weapons” or “barrel shrouds”, but they can’t give you a definition of either one. They use gun word-salads, like banning “high-velocity magazine clips,” to attempt to hide their ignorance.
- Stating that an openly carried gun makes them afraid but then say that a gun carried concealed makes them afraid.
- Holding innocent gun owners to blame for the misuse of guns by criminals, while not holding themself to blame for owning a car, which drunk drivers use to create horrible carnage on our roads.
- Stating a magazine limitation of “X” rounds is safe, but they are unable to explain how having “X+1” rounds would be dangerous.
- Complaining about the loud noise coming from a neighbor’s shooting range but stating that suppressors should be outlawed because they make guns quieter.
Additional Note: This diagnosis may coincide with other personality disorders and maladaptive personality traits. Individuals meeting the diagnosis of Gun Derangement Syndrome may be strongly influenced by other irrational sub-cultural beliefs. Resistance may be very strong during treatment.
The good news is that GDS is not necessarily a lifetime disorder! A person with GDS can cure themself by getting to know a few gun owners, getting educated on guns and gun safety, and making a trip to the range!
Alternatively, you can reach out to someone with GDS to help free them from GDS’s grip.
