Pennsylvania state and socialist Chris Rabb, the Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District, has joined the growing chorus of Democrats denouncing the founding documents and core institutions in the country on our 250th anniversary. The Democratic socialist is running unopposed for Congress and will almost certainly be a member of Congress after November. [More]
Naturally, he wants your guns.
Everybody knows why, right?

However, there is no reason to necessarily conclude the supreme court will decide this issue in the affirmative, especially with Barrett and Roberts having to be persuaded. [More]
They have shown a proclivity for leaving things to the states.
That would result in the greatest Constitutional crisis of our time, and set the trigger for the avalanche.

That hasn’t stopped Fang Fang or whatever the hell her name is from going back to the mothership for instructions.

The victims include four boys aged 6, 7, 12, and 14 and a 21-year-old woman who remains hospitalized after being shot in the chest.

The NRA has now filed its complaint in D.C,’s local courts, and in it the NRA alleges that the NRA Foundation — now rebranded to The 1791 Foundation — engaged in trademark infringement, cybersquatting, and claimed their sister organization was withholding funds from the NRA proper. The Foundation claims that they have been upholding their fiduciary duties and filed their own countersuit in federal court in Virginia. [More]
Jeez, and the prags and apologists used to call me an NRA basher…

The Westcliffe Independence Day Parade/Second Amendment March had to be canceled. Received via email:
Good afternoon David, We greatly appreciate you letting your readers know about our 2A March that was planned for Saturday. However, the 4th of July Parade has been canceled because of the Aspen Acres Fire that is burning in Custer and Pueblo Counties and has grown to more than 50,000 acres. Several towns (Beulah, Rye, Wetmore) have been evacuated along with dozens of neighborhoods, with many homes and other structures already lost. I would ask for prayers for all of the first responders and everyone being affected by this and all the fires in the region, as well as our great country during these times when so many things are just upside down. Thank you and God bless you.
That’s the spirit that would have marched. That’s the spirit that confirms who is on the right side of things.

Have a contemplative Semiquincentennial Independence Day. If you’re not armed, you’ll be doing it wrong. [More]
I turned this one in in May and forgot it was due out, so I guess I lied when I said I’d be back Monday. And as long as I have your attention, check out another day-relevant piece from Firearms News: “It’s not just ‘The Fourth’ or ‘The Fourth of July,’ it’s Independence Day!”
Too much to do to be here. I just won’t be able to keep up with news tips. Please understand accordingly.
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.
Coming soon to a caliphate near you. [More]
Thanks, Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts!
Or should I say “Shkran lak,” or “Gracias,” or “Mahadsanid,” or…?
I’ll be on extremely limited posting for the rest of the week.
I do have one AmmoLand piece I’ll be writing, but for now, chores to prep for incoming relatives and our big shindig on the 4th await.
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]
