3D Chess by SCOTUS on Bump Stocks?

Is the object to wait for a better case to strip much of the unrestrained rulemaking power away from all federal agencies? [Watch]

Attorney Mark W. Smith speculates on what sounds like a plausible legal scenario and setup, and says don’t abandon all hope on bump stocks. I hope he’s right.

I’ve just heard too many 3D chess claims before.

Like a Good Nachbar

Freeman said the insurance requirement was analogous to some 19th-century laws requiring gun owners to post bond in order to carry a gun. [More]

Ah yes, Licky Liccardo’s law

The antis will try to use Bruen’s “historical understanding” to justify every disarmament edict they can think up. Let unsaid with that approach:

Were those edicts ever challenged on Second Amendment grounds? Because what they won’t find is the Supreme Court upholding such “laws.”

Bullet Points

“Another Backdoor Attempt at Registration” – GOA on Ammunition Background Checks [Watch]

I see the Newsmax hostess is a little uneasy with the prospect of NO prior restraints/confiscation enabling. If they need convincing, imagine the mindset of the general public that has only been exposed to the DSM.

Who are the Democrats and what is the name of the bill?

It would help if there was a corresponding post on GOA’s website identifying it by number and sponsor so we could see what it says and also check Govtrack for a prognosis on odds of enactment and the need to prioritize and spend energy on it now.

Most of the stuff I’m seeing coming from both sides is pre-midterms posturing to spook respective low-information herds.

Survey SAYS…

In the more detailed breakdown of the results, Lott found that the greatest movement in the views of respondents came in the “Strongly Support” and “Strongly Oppose” categories. “Strongly Support” fell by more than half when more specifics about “red flag” laws were included; plummeting from 34% with the first question, to 14% with the more detailed second question. “Strongly Oppose,” meanwhile, climbed from 18% to 29%. [More]

Great. Now, who’s going to tell the public, which gets its disinformation from lying Democrats and the DSM (but I repeat myself) while truths like this are buried, suppressed, demonetized, and ridiculed?

A New Hope

We have what we hope will be good news on Ballot Measure 114. In spite of massive spending by the leftists who are promoting the measure, a poll published by the Oregonian shows support from only 51% of Oregon voters. [More]

And if the polls are biased, and they are, the number is lower.

That doesn’t mean it’s time to relax. That means it’s time to fight harder, beginning by spreading the word.

Some Lives Matter

Accusing the slogan of fueling violence, she also asked, “That he wants to see how far he can go and doesn’t really care about, or think about, the collateral damage in the meantime (including to those children singing at his feet), despite the violence this could feed?” [More]

What a load of dangerous, hateful ignorance.

Anyone who would commit violence over that is someone who can’t be trusted without a custodian.

When Seconds Count

“Obviously, he’s a dangerous animal, so we have to be careful especially with our dogs, but we’ve been told by our security that animal control will not come unless [we’re] in immediate danger” … [More]

It sounds more like he’s got the wrong security than anything. Who in security said that and who in animal control told them that? Why isn’t that being made known?

Play this smart and serious and let the right people know they’ll be held publicly accountable, and the underlings would scramble to have a baited trap out before end of shift.

I wonder what the settlers there did about dangerous nuisance animals in days gone by…?

Demotivated

Republicans are trying to diagnose suppressed rural turnout, too. Ryan Girdusky, a Republican political consultant, “blamed the results on messaging by the GOP that didn’t appeal to rural voters,” POLITICO reported. “Trump’s success in exciting those voters, he said, showed that they are motivated by issues such as crime, immigration, homelessness and education.” [More]

Who could have ever known that fire in bellies is what drives the engine?

Certainly not the “leadership”…

The MAGA Murders

When the local host pointed out to Krasner that nearly a thousand people had been murdered in his city in just the last 20 months, the DA preposterously countered that the real crime problem in America is Donald Trump and his followers. “These states in the United States that have a rate of homicide which is 40 percent higher — are MAGA states,” Krasner claimed. “They are Trump states.” [More]

Yet the violent crime is overwhelmingly taking place in the Democrat enclaves.
