NIMBY

San Pedro shooting: Suspects sought after 2 killed, 6 injured by gunfire at Peck Park- “Something like this happening in my backyard, I’m five minutes away from this park, is shocking,” said one community member. [More]

I’ll bet Sharon Tate thought she lived in a pretty safe neighborhood, too.

Besides, who would expect violence at an event attempting to broker peace between rival gangs?

Flight of Fantasy

Dallas airport shooting: DPD releases police bodycam of suspect who was shot [Watch]

I know we’re supposed to have a justice system with due process and all, but is it really wrong to fantasize about turning her over to the people forced to miss their flights?

We’re the Only Ones Incentivized Enough

House Judiciary Committee: Whistleblowers Say FBI ‘Pressuring Agents’ to Reclassify Cases as Domestic Terrorism – “For example, one whistleblower explained that because agents are not finding enough DVE [domestic violent extremist] cases, they are encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification.” [More]

In other words, not meeting the quota is career-limiting? And do top guys get “Always Think Terrorist” Leathermans?

All on Christipher Wray’s watch. Seems some of us were just telling Don Jr. to say “Thanks!” to his Dad for that.

And some of us were sounding alarms before that.

If Wishes Were Fishes

Celebrity YouTuber cites Supreme Court gun ruling in bid to dismiss machine gun charges [More]

I’m not seeing how the most effective arguments can be considered with zero mentions of “militia.” That makes me wonder about the Second Amendment law track record the attorneys have achieved.

Don’t get me wrong: I think “shall not be infringed” and “every terrible implement of the soldier” should be all you need to win, but I wouldn’t take that into court unless I had a lot more behind it.

I’d like to see some qualified voices weigh in on the viability of the motion and the risks of establishing any precedents that could complicate future efforts if it fails.

A Superior Observation

[T]he Court is unaware of historical precedent that would permit a governmental entity to entirely ban a type of weapon that is commonly used by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, whether in an individual’s home or in public. The Court also notes that the Town’s justifications are somewhat undermined by the other subsections of this very provision. Specifically, subsection (b)(1) provides that “[a]ny person holding a valid federal firearms license from possession of any firearm authorized pursuant to such license” will not be subject to the prohibition of 10-9-40. The following subsection, (b)(2) likewise exempts any “firearm for which the U.S. Government has issued a stamp or permit pursuant to the National Firearms Act.” The National Firearms Act, referenced in the latter subsection, provides for permitting such firearms as short-barreled shotguns and rifles, machineguns, and silencers. Each of those weapons is arguably even more deadly than the semi-automatic weapons that the Town of Superior seeks to ban, yet these provisions would permit individuals to possess, sell, or otherwise transfer them.

Let’s see if any of the NAGR critics are willing to grudgingly admit they’re doing good here.

A Team Effort

On Monday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration’s “Ghost Gun” and Gun Registry Final Rule, which will go into effect on August 24. Today, GOA and GOF were joined by the Attorneys General of 17 states in the filing: Arizona, West Virginia, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

I’d give you a link but at this writing, it has not yet been posted on the Press Center page. I’ll update when I have it and as I have time.

Those Who Remember the Past…

WarOnGuns Correspondent Jess asks via email:

David, Is that something that ATF actually ordered? If I was Leatherman, I’d have sent ’em a sample alright, but with a small change. At either end of the line “Always Think Forfeiture”, I would have also engraved a hammer and sickle!

They tried but the order was canceled after Congressman Bill Sali, (R-Idaho), raised objections.

But big John Kerry supporter TimLeatherman would have loved to fill the order.

A Vote Delayed…

Democrats delay votes on police, gun control legislation Package included bills on a new assault weapons ban, to reinstate some civil liability for gun-makers and on grants for police [More]

That means there are Democrats afraid to vote for it because it won’t play in their home districts. I need to find out who those are. There could be a real left-against-left exploitable weakness here.

That Feminine Touch

Child rapist and murderer lauded as ‘feminist’ and ‘advocate’ for LGBTQ Rights – Trimble has been recently celebrated in left-wing media as “a transgender woman, feminist, and activist.” [More]

And a real role model for girls everywhere! Hey, any chance of a furlough for library story hours?

What kind of hater would be against that?

Doing the Jobs Government Won’t Do

By the end of this week, the cable network will have lost its presence in some 20 million homes this year. The most recent blow came from Verizon, which will stop carrying OAN on its Fios television service starting Saturday. That will starve the network of a major stream of revenue: the fees it collects from Verizon, which counts roughly 3.5 million cable subscribers. In April, OAN was dropped by AT&T’s DirecTV, which has about 15 million subscribers. [More]

Who needs government censorship when its economic fascist apparatchiks have the Deep State’s six…?

And is anyone else getting a lynch mob inciters vibe here?

And I still maintain that there is a way to strike back.

Tangentially-related UPDATE

Republicans think a “red wave” is inevitable in November. But the Democrats still have one big advantage: the ever-tightening grip of Big Tech censorship, which will be used to prevent undecided voters from encountering even the most mainstream conservative news in the runup to the next election. Republicans will have a strong message — but what if voters are prevented from hearing it? [More]

So much for election interference. So much for “insurrection.”
