I read a post on X about DOGE doing or acting on the results of a poll.
The caption went of to say “… People say ‘We the People are finally being heard!’”.

Do you feel that way?
Let us know in the comments.

Through all you efforts today, we were able to remove ~1,450 lbs. of trash from Pelican Point. That’s remarkable! And you all should be extremely proud!

Couldn’t have done it without your support. A special thanks for supporting us with swag to give away and their continued friendship! for some instruction.

And a special warm thanks to for arranging and bringing the trailer.

Some bad news for our Oregonian friends: U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut upholds portions of Oregon's assault weapons ban, arguing that "Large capacity magazines “are not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment."

Oregon Initiative 114 defined any magazine over 10 rounds as being "high-capacity" and a key characteristic of an "assault weapon." This is a particularly curious position to hold, since just about every single modern firearm sold in the United States for sporting or self-defense has been designed specifically to carry more than 10 rounds. In fact, you'd have a comparatively more difficult time finding a gun that carries *fewer* than ten rounds—you would need to begin dabbling in antiquated designs to find guns that don't.
Therefore, just about any common firearm a citizen would use in self-defense is likely to meet the definition.

It's plainly obvious that Judge Immergut has applied some of her own beliefs to the decision, and we expect it's likely to be appealed.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled Oregon’s voter-approved gun control measure – one of the toughest in the nation – is constitutional. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled that ba…

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah July 14, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) -- Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes has joined a coalition of states fighting Illinois' six-month-old ban on the sale and distribution of assault weapons. In a Friday press release Reyes said he has joined an Idaho-led amicus (friend of the court)....

Senate Bill 50 “ Weapon Purchase Amendments” by Senator Riebe is being heard by the Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Committee committee this afternoon.

Sen. Riebe seeks to inject a waiting period between the purchase and receipt of an “assault weapon.” In this bill, Sen. Riebe creates an arbitrary legal definition of an assault weapon, using the ever-familiar “features” language that has permeated every AWB since the 90s.

Not only is this waiting period ineffective — many states have (or had) this provision, with no data to support that waiting days or weeks has any impact on crime — it also puts at risk any person who is purchasing a firearm for self-defense, especially those who are at heightened risk. Further, it looks to define an “assault weapon,” which currently has no legal definition using the exact language from the Brady gun control group.

We oppose this bill entirely and encourage you to contact the committee members and urge them to reject SB50. The committee members and their contact information can be found here: https://le.utah.gov/committee/committee.jsp?year=2023&com=SSTNAE&mtgid=18490

The ATF's latest rule on braces is confusing, contradictory, and probably against the law. Despite this, we encourage you to become familiar with the rules. A great summary can be found at https://enblocpress.com/issue-2-2023/

In the coming days we'll work on providing more information, context, and ways you can fight back against this latest round of the ATF's capricious rule-making.

It's pure friend/enemy politics, and you, dear reader, are the enemy.

It’s rare that we speak directly on candidates, but this race is critical. has been a consistent defender of the right to bear arms for his entire tenure in the Senate. I have had the pleasure of many conversations with Senator Lee. He makes himself directly accessible to us, takes the time to listen to our suggestions and concerns, and acts accordingly. He has opposed both recent ATF director nominations, red flag laws, and every form of gun control that’s been introduced. When you cast your ballot in the upcoming days there is a clear choice between an outwardly pro-2a candidate, and one who actively supports gun control. Considering we cannot rely on to oppose gun control measures, Utah and the 2a needs to keep Sen. Lee where he is.

Are you a hunter? Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is considering some changes to elk management. Consider visiting the link in the post below to review and comment on the proposal.

Clarification: The proposed change for the weapons technology portion of the proposals would create new definitions for restricted weapons and modify existing HAMS hunt weapons definitions. If this recommendation passes, this would allow us to create new restricted weapon hunts in addition to the archery, muzzleloader and rifle hunt types currently allowed for in rule. This recommendation WILL NOT discontinue the current hunt types but would be in addition to them.

We are proposing a new 10-year elk management plan, which includes several changes to elk hunting in Utah. The demand for elk hunting in Utah has continued to grow over the years, and the proposed plan includes several strategies to respond to these dramatic increases in demand for general-season elk hunting opportunities. It also provides strategies to address continued point creep in the limited-entry system. We are also proposing some changes to the 2023-24 big game hunting season dates, as well as a few other recommendations.

We want to give you the chance to provide your feedback on the proposals. See more information about these proposals and how to provide feedback: https://bit.ly/3sBkD9j
