Rifling Through a Gun Bill

Gun Owners of America endorsed Representative Tracey Mann’s “Reining In Federal Licensing Enforcement Act” …The RIFLE Act would protect Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) from being forced out of business by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) overreaching directives. [More]

Here’s the bill.

I thought ATF announced they were ending zero tolerance voluntarily, but this would make it mandatory and besides, who believes them?

I don’t see it on GovTrack yet, but they give his recently introduced “H.R. 624: To reform the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives” a “1% chance of being enacted.”

There’s still one question no one evidently thinks we’re ready to ask:

Licensing…?

Commie Sense Gun Laws

Rep. Kristine Reeves, D-Federal Way, proposed House Bill 1504… individuals would have to obtain a firearm liability insurance policy or bond before purchasing or possessing the weapon…the liability policy or bond must cover at least $25,000 of coverage per incident [and] would also require firearm range operators to obtain general liability insurance with at least $1 million of coverage per incident. If an individual owns more than 25 firearms, they would qualify as a self-insurer by obtaining a certificate from the state…“establishing that the person named therein has deposited with the department $25,000.” [More]

This will not survive Bruen. What I’m wondering is, will Bondi ever direct Justice to defend the law, and if not why not?

And no. Stop with the chronic defeatism.

Docket Teasers

David Snope, et al., Petitioners v. Anthony G. Brown, in His Official Capacity as Attorney General of Maryland, et al… Jan 21 2025 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/24/2025. [More]

Ditto for Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island.

Will they hear either? Can they hear one on semiautos without hearing the other on magazines?

And if we tune in tomorrow, will they again tell us to come back Monday to find out?

No worries. Democrat cultists won’t see these stories and would reject them as racist and fascist if they did.

More Gun Control!

Tennessee high school shooting: 1 killed, 1 wounded, teen gunman dead of self-inflicted gunshot: police [More]

The liars at Giffords blame this:

Tennessee doesn’t have:

❌Universal background checks
❌Gun owner licensing
❌Large capacity magazine ban
❌Waiting periods
❌Community violence intervention funding
❌Lost and stolen firearm reporting

There are actually morons who believe them.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, said it was “a total disgrace” that Axel Rudakubana was “easily able to order a knife on Amazon” despite being aged 17 and having a conviction for violence. It is illegal to sell knives to under-18s. [More]

The stupid slag would mandate limiting non-governmental humanity to pre-Neanderthal technology.

I would not die for these people so would therefore be against any American being sent to die for these people.

O Canada

The United States has more than eight times the population of Canada, and even massive death and destruction brought about by our gun policy pales in comparison to the number of people the Canadian government managed to kill during that period. [More]

Notice how everyone here wh0 says “Healthcare is a right” wants to ban guns…?

He’ll Sign It If He Has to…

Gov. Jared Polis said Thursday night that a ban on the manufacture and sale of semiautomatic firearms with a removable ammunition magazine isn’t his preferred method of tackling gun violence, but he’s not fundamentally opposed to the idea. [More]

That’s a Democrat’s idea of “compromising” on guns.

When is SCOTUS gonna stop with the stalling and put an end to this clearly unconstitutional subversion?

The Avalanche Starting Zone

Today, the 2025 New Mexico Legislative Session officially started. This year is a 60-day session that will allow a large number of bills to be heard. Only a few of the bills we are expecting this year have been filed so far – below is a list of the key bills we are watching. [More]

Red flags, “weapon conversion devices,” juvenile records, and more on the way… and yeah, “consitutional carry,” but there’s this

Speaking of History, Text, and Tradition…

Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) have filed an important new lawsuit challenging federal laws prohibiting licensed firearm dealers from selling handguns to out-of-state buyers. [More]

So when I read an authoritative historical article asserting “most of the early American rifles and pistols came from Eastern Pennsylvania,” why does it say nothing about out-of-colony buyers (and more)?

Speaking of Conspiracy to Deprive Rights…

Let’s ask ourselves: Why would @wastatepatrol want to give legislators a tour of things? Why, it’s because I caught them colluding with legislators to take your Constitutionally protected gun rights. [More]

Interesting thread that shows how gungrabbers operate…

If we could ever get Pam Bondi interested in defending ALL rights…

‘News’ You Can Wipe With

Senator Tina Polsky Files Multiple Bills Addressing Gun Safety [More]

By presenting what amounts to a gun-grabber press release and accepting and promulgating that any of this will result in “gun safety,” FNN “News” shows itself to be nothing more than a worthless propaganda parrot, not to be taken seriously, and certainly not to be believed.

Helmer Fudd

“The purpose of these weapons, they were designed for military use,” said Helmer. “They are designed to put sustained aimed fire as quickly as possible on an enemy. I don’t believe our neighbors, our kids, are enemies. [More]

Just those of us claiming our birthrights, eh, Dan, and the kids that live in our houses? And on us you’re willing to unleash a standing army equipped with every terrible implement to destroy us or bend us to your will.

And we know you know what real military weaponry is, which means you know you’re lying.

Benedict Arnold was once considered a patriotic military hero, too.

In the Kapu Tradition

House Bills 125, 136 and 138 impose firearm storage mandates…House Bill 150 prohibits an individual from lending a firearm to another individual… Senate Bill 174 imposes egregious restrictions on the purchase and possession of ammunition… Senate Bill 128 removes an individual’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms for the conviction OR mere prosecution of trespassing on agricultural land… Senate Bill 308 expands Hawaii’s existing ban on detachable magazines capable of accepting more than 10 rounds to all firearms, not just for pistols.

Setting the Stage for Trump v. Bondi?

Because Trump’s convictions involved crimes that were notionally punishable by more than a year of incarceration, they made him subject to a federal law that bars him from possessing firearms. [More]

But not the nuclear football…

I do wonder– if he challenged this – would his AG defend the law and fight him…?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

Chief Supt Sheridan said that, in refusing the application, she felt that the appellant “engaged in aggressive and antisocial behaviour on more than one occasion” and she didn’t feel it was “in the public interest” that he hold a firearms licence. [More]

Reading on about the utter presumptiousness of her, other “Only Ones,” the judge, and the snitch bureaucrats, evokes nothing so much as a Mencken quote, until I recall Polyphemus’ promise to eat those who obey him last.

Speaking of Disenfranchising Minorities…

Representative Amen Brown (D-10) has introduced a new bill (former HB 1563) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania legislature requiring anyone attending a gun show to show an ID. The gun show promoter must make a copy of the ID and keep it for five years. If the bill passes, they also must turn over those records to the Office of the Attorney General, any county prosecutor, or municipal police department upon request. There are no limitations as to why they can request the data. [More]

The moron has demanded this before.

He still won’t answer questions about Voter ID…

WarOnGuns Correspondent Tacticool Memes tried to inject some reality into a BlueSky echo chamber denizen’s absurd self-contradictions about the bill and got promptly blocked for his effort:

So much for demanding an “actual conversation.”

There are too many useful idiots rejecting truth to spend precious time trying to deprogam them.
