Facing Legal Obstacles To Gun Bans, Prohibitionists Shift The Narrative

AR 15 Magazines iStock

It’s good, a victory actually, that people who would like to ban guns – and that, of course, is their ultimate goal – have a sense that it’s not going to happen politically, at least in the near term. But just because they talk about “progress” without prohibitions doesn’t mean they’ve given up on the idea. [More]

Just because “progressive” policies have enabled a subset of violent and resentful morons with a sense of unearned entitlement, anger management issues, and poor impulse control is no reason to make demands against the rest of us being able to repel them.

A New Hope

Safnew

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted two of the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) petitions for a writ certiorari in both  Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, the organization’s challenges to the bans on so-called “assault weapons” in Illinois and Connecticut. [More]

The Usual Suspects

ROBERTS, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, BARRETT, and JACKSON, JJ., joined. JACKSON, J., filed a concurring opinion, in which SOTOMAYOR, J., joined as to the introduction and Part I. KAVANAUGH, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part. THOMAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which GORSUCH, J., joined. ALITO, J., and GORSUCH, J., filed dissenting opinions. [More]

So, “birthright citizenship” it is.

So much for job interviews that aren’t allowed to ask the right questions.

If It Looks Like a Duck

You cannot import third world people with no connection to the West, no connection to American values, no connection to right to free speech, no connection to the private right to keep in arms in a self-defense focused culture and expect our country to remain the same. You’re moron if you think anything other than what I just said…The most important issue in America when it comes to the right to keep arms and preserving our Constitution is immigration. [Watch]

Gee, I wonder who fits that description. I wonder if Ranjit is going to lecture him on being ignorant if Stephen is going to call him a Unite the Right loser, and if Kostas and Hannah are going to tell him to wait a generation or two.

And as long as I’m on the subject, I wonder why Cam Edwards thinks it’s OK to issue a challenge in front of all his followers and then not inform them of my response.

I rest my case.

Or rather, Ed Markey does.

Funny, how all those who disagree still refuse take the challenge…

Still Slow Going

Climb

That’s it for today unless something major happens or my latest Firearms News piece gets posted.

I’ve got relatives coming in over the next few days and have to get the house and yard ready for my annual Independence Day family gathering (predicted thunderstorms notwithstanding), plus today is my 37th wedding anniversary so I need to slip out and get Shnooky Lumps some flowers…

Please understand if I’m unresponsive to news tips.

I can’t help but think they have the resources for this but said they didn’t do do what was needed to mobilize Virginia voters.

When Reality Bites: Gavin Newsom Has No Clue on Concealed Carry [More]

Sorry, PJ Media, but if you don’t think he knows exactly what he’s doing and why, you have no clue.

“Not evil just wrong” is both wishful thinking and self-destructive denial.

Reality bites.

Empowering the Destroyer

Kawas, the Muslim daughter of illegal immigrants, is now the Democrat nominee for New York’s Senate District 12 and is also a socialist. She recently came under fire for rejecting the notion that Muslim Americans need to apologize for 9/11, an attack “a couple of people did.” [More]

She’s a liar from a family of liars, who, naturally, exploits the race/victim/entitlement card:

Dad of Mamdani-backed NY primary winner Aber Kawass, who downplayed 9/11, was deported for property fraud — not ‘cruel’ immigration as she claimed

Cutting to the chase on who supports this:

“We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization,

Just give ’em a generation or two, right? I can’t help but suspect there’s some premeditated agenda mixed in with the deliberate indifference and willful blindness.

DOJ Withholds Rights Restoration Records Citing Privacy Concerns

FOIA Gibson Gun Rights Restoration

The need to apply consistent criteria is not only a matter of basic fairness, but of law. [More]

The very first comment needs to be addressed. With an initial estimate of 50 FTEs processing applications, the need to minimize subjectivity and establish consistency should be self-evident, especially noting how DOJ has shown it can still be all over the board on 2A, even under a “pro-gun administration.”

Further noting this is a rule and not a law, it’s not hard to see how lack of clear criteria could allow all kinds of negative dispositions under a new administration for those applicatons already in the pipeline before it terminates the program altogether.
