Making It Personal

…Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert signed an executive order banning all firearms on city property … This executive action was taken following a move by the city council to strike the previous city ordinances on firearms. This was done to comply with the new statewide preemption law that takes effect on Saturday, along with constitutional carry. [More]

And naturally, “The only exceptions to this order are for law enforcement, contracted security personnel, recreational shotgun use at the Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet facility, and those granted exemption by the Chief of Police.”

This is why claiming to be a Republican can never be enough.

I guess if hubby couldn’t be trusted with a gun, you can’t, either. Or is it bad form to point that out, even if it looks like she moved on soon enough?

You want to cry foul, cry foul.

I owe no sympathy to someone who demands I obey their terms of surrender or else and put my life and the lives of those I love at risk.

And you’ll note NRA didn’t dare tell you about this.

A Temporary Setback?

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit out of Missouri has denied a request to hear en banc a 2nd Amendment argument by a criminal defendant who was charged with violating 18 USC 922(g)1, i.e., the ban on felons in possession of firearms law. However, four judges issued a vigorous dissent in which they called into question the constitutionality of 922(g)1. [More]

It sounds like some may be amenable to applying The Law.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

The Department of Justice is proposing to amend Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) regulations to require that any person who stores explosive materials notify on an annual basis the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials are being stored of the type of explosives, magazine capacity, and location of each site where such materials are stored. In addition, the proposed rule requires any person who stores explosive materials to notify the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials were stored whenever storage is discontinued. These changes are intended to increase public safety. [More]

That’s awful similar to the “justification” given last time

You’d expect that of “national socialists.”

It would be interesting to see how many Antifa connections there are.

The King’s Deer

Indeed, one of my favorite ironies is that self-proclaimed conservative and libertarian Americans who otherwise never miss an opportunity to resent government regulation happily participate in one of the most heavily regulated activities in America. [More]

Think of it as the Fudd Paradox.

It’s what allows for subversive useful idiot groups like “Sportsmen for Biden.”

Polyphemus may have said he’ll eat them last, but eat them he intends, and in his own good time.

Shot Full of Lead

A federal court on Friday rejected a long-fought effort by environmental groups to force a ban on lead ammo in a national forest, providing a key win for hunters, the National Rifle Association, and the United States Forest Service. [More]

It’s been a long time coming. Last night I brought out the Center for Biological Diversity gorilla hand ashtray to celebrate.

Now sue them.

It’s a Feature, Not a Bug

It should be more than obvious that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that credulous GOP Senator John Cornyn shepherded into law along with Connecticut’s Chris Murphy was nothing but a stalking horse for expanding the federal government’s regulation of firearms. [More]

Is “folly” the right word here?

Real Culprit Identified!

White gunman who shot three Black victims legally acquired weapons after Ron DeSantis recently allowed permitless carry [More]

Yeah, I remember how thrilled we all were when Ohio passed a similar law saying “Constitutional carry” meant we could also murder groups we hate after being involuntarily committed and released!

It’s not like their convict forefathers had much say in the matter…

I guess generational rule by wardens is a tough conditioning to break.
