David Codrea is a long-time gun owner rights advocate who defiantly challenges the folly of citizen disarmament.

Brace Yourselves

In a blunt court filing from Monday, March 16, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) urged a federal judge to dismiss a high-profile challenge to its now-defunct pistol stabilizing brace rule, arguing the case has become completely moot. At the same time, the agency made clear it has no intention of abandoning enforcement against certain braced pistols under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA). [More]

See, when Pam says “full might,” she also means “full might not.”

The Bridge to Nowhere

‘Bridging the Divide’ on Firearms Laws [More]

Oh, look, kinder, gentler gun control couched as a meeting of reasonable minds. Where have we seen that before? And before that?

And when we no longer have to expend resources on these, we can focus on our next steps toward the goal.

If these rights swindlers wanted to attract more gun owners, they’d be stumping for BIDS– and not doing so reveals the fraud behind “background checks.”

Figures, Rob Pincus is part of it...

We’re the Only Ones in Suspense Enough

NYPD officer assigned to Mayor Mamdani’s security suspended after off-duty shooting [More]

Justification or not aside, what would happen if he were what they call “a civilian”? Assuming he had the wherewithal to obtain a permit and this wasn’t one of those “sensitive locations,” and not that he could have legally been armed anyway if the bar across the street factored into his actions…

If the Tyrant Zohran has his way, that last part won’t be an issue. Hey, he’s got his phalanx…

Avoidance, Not Rebuttal

I will do him the honor of addressing specific points he made even though he wouldn’t do the same for me. I note Bearing Arms requires you to join to even read comments, so I’ll have no way of knowing what they’re saying over there.

Virginia Democrat Says You Don’t Need a Gun to Fight a Gunman While Backing More Citizen Disarmament

McGuire’s absurdly offensive contention disparaging armed defense while justifying disarming his constituents evokes nothing so much as the scene from the movie Independence Day when the president asks the alien, “What is it you want us to do?” [More]

That and they’ve given themselves a pass on a gun-in-car storage law violation penalty they exact on mere citizens. Could it be more in-your-face to gun owners?

Outlier

Steve Hilton, a legal immigrant and political newcomer running as a Republican for governor of California, said the “absolute failure on every front” by current Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats means the GOP has a real shot at pulling off an upset in the Golden State. [More]

And he appears to understand 2A…

So are my critics right, and will I have to eat my words?

This “anecdote and isolated example” aside, it’s on them to show how legal immigrants who become naturalized citizens will vote our way gun issues, because the polls I’ve found say they overwhelmingly vote against us.

Plus, the California vote is hardly a lock and urban populations will decide it.

Then again, sometimes I wonder why I bother.

Up in Smoke

Are regular marijuana users the modern equivalent of “habitual drunkards” at the Founding? What about someone who regularly takes a sleep gummy? In oral arguments before the Supreme Court today in United States v. Hemani, the federal government argues that they are the same. [More]

“Full might,” eh?

What a mess.

Anyone who can’t be trusted with weed and a gun…

Or booze and a gun…

I’m thinking Bondi needs lithium therapy…

Sins of the Father

During the trial, the jury heard how Colin Gray had bought his son an AR-style rifle for Christmas the year before the attack, even though the boy had been questioned by police just seven months earlier about online threats to commit a school shooting. [More]

The AR reference is a bit of hyperbolic hand-wringing because there’d be just as much outrage over a Fudd gun being used, but there is a point here that merits discussion– when you know something is wrong and you enable it anyway, you do share culpability in outcomes.

Denial is one thing, and it’s understandable when admitting it can be so overwhelmingly devastating, but the fact that it is is your first clue. Those of us who have had to make tough decisions in child-raising that ultimately resulted in successful adult outcomes should thank God we were never faced with having to confront a child so broken he could not be fixed.

And if one of mine had been taken from me because his father was too weak to confront reality, I’d blame him, too.

Stopping the Signal

That’s gotta be a First Amendment “right to petition” violation. Not that their minds aren’t already made up and the hearings aren’t anything but theatrics to make it look like they’re responsibly deliberating.

I wonder if Harmeet would agree…

Cato Director: Immigrants Reduce Crime Rates, So You’re Less Likely to Be a Crime Victim [More]

What will happen to that crime rate when the pathway to citizenship Democrats and cheap labor Republicans/Libertarians succeed in changing the electorate to one that supports citizen disarmament?

I wonder if Bier and Cato will take the challenge that so far everyone else has run away from.

We could always ask…
