Happy April Fool’s Day!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2026

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives quietly published a new guidance document Tuesday morning titled Clarification of Terms Related to Firearms, Firearm Accessories, Firearm Components, Firearm-Adjacent Items, and Other Items Which May or May Not Be Firearms Depending on Circumstances and Configurations, and before you ask, yes, that’s the actual title.

Page 39 introduces the concept of a “firearm-adjacent device,” which the document declines to define, but notes that such devices “may be subject to future rulemaking.”
The document also helpfully clarifies that forced reset triggers are not machine guns, except when they are.

My brother sent this over. It is an oldie, but a good one.

By way of Revolver Guy, the NAA Plug:

The NAA Plug is built around a detachable, AR-style pistol grip that’s been modified to accept the small, single-action rimfire when it’s folded into a recess in the front strap of the grip.

I can’t tell if this is an April Fool’s joke or not: Smith and Wesson is giving away third-generation autopistols. (Explained.)

Not gun related, but I do find today’s XKCD kind of clever, if theologically unsound. (Who would be there to ask for dark mode support? Humanity wasn’t created until the sixth day.)

Your loser update: April 1, 2026.

MLB teams that have a chance to go 0-162:

None.

There are currently five 1-4 teams (and one 1-3 team) as I write this:

Boston
Minnesota
White Sox
City Unknown Athletics
Colorado
San Diego

Is there any team likely to set a new record this year? Reply hazy, ask again later. I feel like it is too early in the season. But right now, I’m watching Colorado and the White Sox.
