Americans purchased more firearms in August than they did in July, which marked five straight years of million-or-more purchases. And August’s sales, according to the Firearm Industry Trade Association (NSSF, formerly the National Shooting Sports Foundation), were more than 8 percent ahead of August a year ago. Handgun sales were up by 5 percent over last August, while long-gun sales jumped 14 percent.

As of today, major credit card companies must make a merchant code available for firearm and ammunition retailers to comply with California’s new law. The law aids banks in monitoring gun sales and flags suspicious cases to authorities. It requires retailers that primarily sell firearms to adopt the code by May 2025.
Democratic-led legislatures in Colorado and New York this year also passed measures mandating firearms codes that kick in next year.

Sometimes, when I think something is really stupid, I just write a joke article, basically assuming the reader is inside my head and understands why I think the thing is stupid. I did that yesterday with the Hunter Biden gun crime conviction.
Probably, my thoughts on this should be elaborated, and I should explain why I think this is so retarded, and why I am so disgusted by Republicans celebrating it as some kind of victory.
Firstly, I want to say that not everyone is celebrating this. There is a lot of gibberish on Fox News and the standard “Jewish conservative” websites like Breitbart.

You probably haven’t heard the name Joshua Cobb. This is even though he was planning a major mass shooting, with a 10-plus body count.
It’s even though he seethed with hatred, posting social-media messages about how he intended to target a specific racial group.
It’s even though mainstream media and other pseudo-elites claim to care, deeply, about the mass shooting phenomenon.
by Sam Jacobs, The Burning Platform:
As the political climate heats up surrounding gun control and legislation, more Americans are buying firearms today than six years ago. In the past twenty years, gun ownership has risen slightly among women and Hispanics while it has decreased among men.
In 2023, 32% of Americans own at least one firearm. There are approximately 259,000,000 adults, which equates to 82,880,000 people who own a firearm in the U.S.

Divine intervention?
Video footage shows a man trying to shoot dead a pastor as he gave a sermon in a Pennsylvania church Sunday, but remarkably the gun jammed, prompting many to claim a miracle had been witnessed.
from The Epoch Times:
Illegal immigration, high crime, slower police response and presidential election fuel gun sales, say industry spokesman and gun store owner.
Unease over rampant illegal immigration and crime are contributing to a spike in local guns and ammunition sales in border towns, according to a gun store owner in Southern California and a national firearms industry spokesman.
from The Conservative Treehouse:
You may have heard of the protests in Tbilisi, Georgia recently. The protests are framed around what the State Dept and CIA call “Russian favored” legislation.
The Georgia legislation essentially says that domestic lobbyists, NGO’s, entities, groups and individuals who are funded more than 20% by foreign interests need to register as such.
Essentially, the USA law we call the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), is what the country of Georgia is enacting in their own political landscape. However, the USA is not happy about the Georgia law to disclose the source of foreign funding (most of it anti-government) because the USA (specifically the State Dept and CIA) is the source of that funding.

The government has successfully weaponized the banks against the people. Major banks are voluntarily sharing customers’ private transactions with the federal government “as part of a wildly overbroad financial surveillance scheme intended to identify domestic terrorists,” a group of attorneys general wrote in a letter to Bank of America in regards to discrimination against Christian organizations. The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) is now exposing how banks are cracking down on legal firearm ownership as Washington moves to nullify the Second Amendment.

In the rapidly advancing landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), the emergence of sophisticated AI systems prompts profound questions about their role in society and their potential impact on religious beliefs. As Christians, grappling with the ethical implications of AI requires a nuanced understanding of our faith and its teachings.
This brief article explores the faith-related dilemmas presented by the rise of the AI “god” — and its growing religion — and examines it through the lens of biblical principles and verses.
