The regime has decided to go after the guns, damn the constitution.

Here's a guy that got 10 years for legally building his own guns:  https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2024/05/14/new-york-man-gets-10-year-prison-sentence-for-building-guns-n1224891

According to Taylor's attorney, the judge in the case instructed them at one point not to bring "the Second Amendment into this courtroom", telling them "it doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York."

Bryan Malinowski Was the executive director of the Little Rock airport aka Bill and Hillary Clinton airport aka Adam’s Field aka KLIT (really?)

Anyway, he was a firearms collector and hobbyist. He sold them totally legally up until recently when the ATF made up a new (unconstitutional) rule about needing a dealer license to sell just about any gun which has since been injuncted by a court.

In the meantime the ATF got a warrant to search this guy’s house. Instead of maybe approaching this guy at work at the airport, they decide to raid his home in the dark at 6am.  Ten cars worth of dark clad agents.  They put tape over his door cam, bust down the door without knocking or announcing themselves or wearing body cams. Mr. Malinowski hears this, and thinking it’s a home invasion gets a firearm, attempts to defend himself and his wife and is shot in the head next to his wife, who is then dragged outside in her flimsy nightie, barefoot, and they make her sit in the car for 4 hours denying her a bathroom break or letting her know the condition of her husband. Her husband was brain dead and eventually did not survive.

I believe this new rule originated with the Biden administration. They’re coming after ALL us legal, peaceful gun owners.

If I remember, I'll post my uncles letter he wrote to my Mom.

I rarely drink but on Memorial Day I have 2 beers.  One for my buddies who came home horizontally and the other for me.  My flag is at half staff today for them and others.

I am very lucky in that I had no close friends or family killed in war despite several having served. But we have a cousin who died in WW2 and there are two versions of the story.  He has a memorial in our family plot but his remains are somewhere in India or offshore underwater.

He was in the Army Air Corps and was shot down over the Himalayas and presumed dead. A year later the family discovered that he had survived and was a prisoner of war in Burma.  One version says he was released and was on a transport plane home when the plane went down over India. The other version is he died in the POW camp and it was his body being brought home on the transport which crashed into the ocean.

Either way, another of our cousins recently contacted Indian officials in an attempt to locate/recover his body (80 years later) but was told it was impossible due to religious reasons. Maybe Hindus believe you shouldn't disturb the dead or something?  Or maybe just that's what they told him, but no way were they gonna expend any money or effort to do this.  Anyway, it ain't never gonna happen.  He left a widow who never remarried, and no children.  He was 24 years old.

This prompted me to look up recovery efforts and I found that we did indeed try very hard to recover the WW2 dead:
