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

The Servants Have Spoken

In response to a question of whether the people decide subjectively what they deem appropriate for self-defense, New Jersey argued that “the people” through their representatives decide what is unusually dangerous based on their perception of “objective characteristics.” As one judge suggested, since all firearms are dangerous under the alleged dangerous-or-unusual test, no limit would exist on what the legislature may choose to ban, despite what the people choose.

Look at all the contortions these robed Democrats go through to obfuscate the unambiguous clarity of “shall not be infringed.”

How many horses and hounds may I keep, again…?

Major Victory!

Today, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation and the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Virginia’s universal background check law (Virginia Code Section 18.2-308.2:5) in the case of Wilson v. Hanley. [More]

Yeah… except:

I mean, yeah, take the win. But I think we have different definitions “major.”

We’re the Only Ones Digital Enough

OFFICER 1: You’re doing the UD-10 for (unintelligible) accident?
OFFICER 2: Yes, sir.
OFFICER 1: Alright, when you enter her driver’s license number in, just accidentally change one digit.
OFFICER 2: Okay. [More]

Seems to me the public deserves to know more than just “Officer 1 and 2″…

Teach Your Children Well

That’s who these people remind me of…

We’re not the same and no, we can’t all get along.

Stay Focused

In my analysis, guns resist simple categorization as either universally good or bad, dangerous or protective, fun or frightening. Instead, they are best under-stood through a “kaleidoscopic view,”considering the issue from multiple angles. To be sure, this requires maintaining a clear-eyed understanding of the lethal capabilities of firearms. [More]

Some of us have a clear-eyed understanding that sees through fabricated distortions.

That’s why we insist on “shall not be infringed.”

And reject kaleidoscopic views of gun owners as a panacea.

A Forward Progression

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in support of a proposed rights restoration rule. [More]

They raise a good point:

However, there are some aspects of the Proposed Rule which do not go far enough. As courts have confirmed, the main requirement for disarming Americans—what must be present before they may be disenfranchised from their Second Amendment rights—is ongoing dangerousness.

You know how I feel about ongoing dangerousness.

Sounds Like a Predetermined Outcome to Me

Justices agree to review federal law banning drug users from possessing guns [More]

I see the Trump/Bondi DOJ is selectively defending infringements again.

Could there be a less sympathetic defendant than “a dual citizen of the United States and Pakistan, who was indicted in 2023 on a single count of violating the guns-and-drugs law after the FBI found a 9mm pistol, 60 grams of marijuana, and 4.7 grams of cocaine at his family home” ?

Am I wrong to suspect a way to erode the text, history, and tradition standard and guarantee bad precedent with a case centered on what would have been pretty much an anachronism at the time of the founding?

With all the not-so-subtle height digs, I’d say it sounds like his temper isn’t the only thing that’s short, but I’ve known men of similar stature I’ve striven to be worthy of knowing, and some who could kick my @$$.

Still, making sure this causes him giant headaches by following him around after home from prison he goes seems fair game.

What Does This Even Being an Issue Tell Us?

Yeah, but what’s this got to do with the “single issue”?

And why only 14 Republican-led states?

Teenage Wasteland

16-year-old Darien Harris, who was charged as an adult, was sentenced to life in prison with the first eligibility for parole after 20 years. [More]

So it’s not life in prison, is it?

No worries. I’m sure anyone feral, cowardly, and retarded enough to indiscriminately fire into a group who is then immersed for decades in a brutal survival culture with like-minded beasts will be trustworthy again at age 38.

Thumbs Down on Activism

[More]

Too bad, because it’s a knee-jerk assessment on a great comment I agree with, and represents the kind of self-motivated activism I wish more readers would take on themselves to engage in. Otherwise what’s the point of reading the article?

It’s disappointing but hardly surprising. Grudges and squabbles appear to take precedence over unity in purpose and shoulders to the wheel, and that’s got to be encouraging to the antis.

It’s fair to wonder how many of the down-voters — who would be big potential beneficiaries if they helped instead of harassed — spent even so much as the second it took them to click a thumbs down on promoting the Earle-Sears campaign and telling NRA and Trump to get off the stick.

And that’s why I don’t think Trump finally-kinda-sorta coming on board was due to “2A supporters tagging him on X about Virginia.” Nobody has been writing about this but me, and I can tell you from the lack of comments and shares I’ve seen, this has been one of the biggest echo chamber pieces I’ve ever written.

(And yeah, I see comment links don’t scroll you to the exact one and nothin’ I can do about that, but the ones I’m citing are easy enough to find.)

We’re the Only Ones Ringing Enough

Law enforcement agencies will soon have easier access to footage captured by Amazon’s Ring smart cameras. In a partnership announced this week, Amazon will allow approximately 5,000 local law enforcement agencies to request access to Ring camera footage via surveillance platforms from Flock Safety. Ring’s cooperation with law enforcement and the reported use of Flock technologies by federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has resurfaced privacy concerns that have followed the devices for years.

Hey, if you have nothing to hide and haven’t done anything wrong, what’s the problem?
