Review: The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900 [More]

In short, if the grabbers are looking for something from the Founding Era to support “historical context” to justify an “assault weapon” ban, they’re not going to find it.

It figures that the lame argument that no one considered the Second Amendment to be an individual right until recently proves to be the exact opposite of the truth. That’s because all the citizen disarmament zealots have are lies.

Gillum Trial Highlights Ethics of Gun Prohibitionists & the Company They Keep

Curiously, he was not arrested, as anyone of lesser connections would expect to be, but was allowed to return home and later go through the motions of “entering rehab.” [More]

I’d like to say “Imagine what the law would do to us if you or I were found passed out in a hotel with stained sheets, a gay escort, and meth and other controlled substances,” but candidly, I don’t know anyone who would ever find themselves in that situation, including being immune to prosecution thereafter. Curious, though, that this gun-grabbing degenerate’s Democrat political supporters say we’re the ones who can’t be trusted…

Laws She Demands Should Apply to ‘Gun Sense Candidate’ Porter

“The allegations against Porter include claims that she dumped hot potatoes on her then-husband’s head and smashed a glass that led to him being cut by flying shards.” [More]

We can end potato violence!

Cherokee Indians Tribal Council Votes for Car/Bodycam Exemption after SWAT Shooting

Cherokee Indians Tribal Council Votes for Car/Bodycam Exemption after SWAT Shooting [More]

Bodycam videos? We ain’t got no bodycam videos. We don’t need no bodycam videos. I don’t have to show you any stinking bodycam videos!

Wrong House Raid Highlights Continuing Danger to Public from Police Responders

That leaves open the question of how police got the address wrong in the first place. What checklist procedures are in place to preclude an armed response and the assumptions that go with one until a positive identification has been established? Were those procedures followed? [More]

You don’t need to look very far to find plenty of headlines showing outrageously lethal raids like this happening again and again and again.

Machine Gun Charges Against Sheriff Recall Earlier Incidents and ‘Only Ones’ Elitism

But whether the top cops are innocent or guilty of charges is beside the real point gun owners should be concerned with. The militarization of police is what opens the door to exclusivity and enables corruption. And you’d better believe the officials and the deputies/officers they command would arrest any of us if they found us non-compliant with a “gun law.” The “Only Ones” hypocrisy reeks. [More]

Nice work if you can get it. The problem is, without a badge, you can’t, and therein lies the crux of police as “Only Ones.”

New SWAT Shooting Video and DA Recusal Raise Investigation Conflict Concerns

It also brings up fair questions about just how impartial any investigation can be without full disclosure of relationships between all parties involved in Klopefer’s shooting and subsequent actions. [More]

What assurances do we have that all personal and professional relationships have been disclosed and will not affect the outcome of the investigation?

Report Says NRA ‘A+’ Rated McCarthy Raising Funds for Giffords-Endorsed Fitzpatrick

That makes it fair to ask why Kevin McCarthy, the beneficiary of an A+ rating and endorsement from the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund, is reportedly going out of his way to raise major bucks for someone who is undermining everything about the Second Amendment we’re told he believes in. [More]

At the very least, we ought to find out if the reports are true.

Block Allegations Point to Favoring Criminals Over Legal Gun Owners

As far as gun owners are concerned, it couldn’t happen to a “nicer” leftist billionaire. That Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter and current Principal Executive Office and Chairperson of Block, should be reported as an enabler of criminal transactions while discriminating against lawful commerce in firearms is just another contradiction between what anti-gunners say they want and what they actually achieve. [More]

Help criminals and discriminate against gun owners? It’s good to be a woke elitist!

Point/Counterpoint

Dave, like so many others you are in error concerning Heller’s statement on the M-16. Scalia wrote that anyone who say’s M-16s and the like can be banned have de facto separated and nullified the prefatory clause “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,” from the operative “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

“It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful
in military service—M-16 rifles and the like—may be
banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely
detached from the prefatory clause.” [More]

He’s leaving out the big “but” that immediately follows:

But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty.

Previously qualified as:

We therefore read Miller to say only that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns. That accords with the historical understanding of the scope of the right…

I’ve posted this here because if I’m to get my other work done, I don’t have time to get embroiled in comments on AmmoLand, and besides, I get my say in the article and comments are for the readers.

And point of order…

Government Has Known from the Start There is a Right to Own Machineguns

“You see, if we made a statute absolutely forbidding any human being to have a machine gun, you might say there is some constitutional question involved.” [More]

Now, what are all those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” in Congress going to do about it?

Rounds’ ‘Bipartisan’ Betrayals Undermine His Second Amendment Actions

It’s going to take more than pheasant hunting and a travelers’ bill that’s going nowhere to offset helping Chuck Schumer create a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens. [More]

If wearing orange was all it took, we’d have no better pals than the Demanding Moms on “National Gun Violence Awareness Day.”

ChatGPT a Perfect Example of Garbage In, Garbage Out on Guns

As for changing the world in terms of journalistic content, ChatGPT is only as objective as the content it accesses, and a “test drive” of the bot shows all the old biases and assumptions made by legacy media “real reporters” drive the machine’s “understanding” of politically weighted issues. [More]

Cram buzzwords and talking points into one end and guess what comes out the other.
