The technical holdup is essentially one of emphasizing due process and ignoring privileges and immunities, which to a layperson seems a bit like arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. [More]

There’s a more basic argument that no one is considering, where a leading authority at the time considered the Second Amendment to be a restraint on both the federal government and the states.

A San Francisco Moderate

Moderate San Francisco mayor’s ‘political machine’ indicates the city’s shift to the center [More]

Here’s Mayor Lurie being moderate on guns:

Frickin’ “conservative” Fox News…

Fun fact: On April 10, he called for a “1-day ceasefire to curb gun violence, hours before Mission shooting.”

Hey, can he store your gun for you?

Trial and Tribulation

“America never agreed to a world tribunal that can override our own courts and the Constitution.” [More]

Not that such reality keeps subversive citizen disarmament fanatics from trying…

If a DSA (communist) Senate gets the numbers to cross this Rubicon and ratify this abomination, it will be moral grounds for armed rebellion. Of course, by then, it will be but one of a number of reasons.

The Prohibitionists’ Lament

Everytown for Gun Safety Worried by ‘Reckless’ Supreme Court Cases Challenging Ban on AR-15s [More]

So… why does managing director of Second Amendment litigation at Everytown Law Janet Carter have a British accent?

We should ask:

We’re the Only Ones Tyrannical Enough

SPECIAL REPORT: When Florida police act like they’re working in California – Travis E. Smith faces 15 years in a state prison and a $10,000 fine. [More]

Hey, don’t judge until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in “the officer’s” jackboots.

Besides, they think armed coercion is hilarious!

Shoulder-Thing-That-Goes-Up Award Finalist

“The rights of people to go to a 4th of July parade and be safe, and not have 48 people shot with more than 60 bullets per second, issued by a weapon that shouldn’t be available to the public,” Pritzker said. [More]

And it weighs as much as 10 boxes, and fires heat-seeking bullets that can cook a deer!

The truth is, Sardaukar-protected goo-boy Pritzker doesn’t want you to have a gun that can fire even one bullet per second.

Lie of Omission

JONATHAN TURLEY: James Talarico’s defense of gun control leaves out a key word… The reason, he declared, is that the Second Amendment expressly embraces gun control by referring to the right to bear arms as “well regulated.” [More]

But, of course, that’s simply not true.

So why is it so many Texans are willing to vote in a demonstrable liar?

If It Can Jeopardize One Life…

Offpatch

[M]any may be unaware of the extreme and counterproductive nature of Oregon’s laws on locking up your self-defense firearms. We have copied the entire statute at the end of this post and included the statute that provides the definitions for the terms used in the law in question. [More]

You know, just like the Founders intended…

AstroTurf is Made of This

The Highland Park Peace Project is assembling a database of companies that do business with manufacturers who make so-called “assault weapons,” with the intention of “targeting the companies that do business with them,” including law firms and retail outlets, according to the group’s website. [More]

Make lemonade!

They sure are getting a lot of publicity for a group that only has 337 Facebook followers so far… Kinda makes you wonder who’s funding the slick website and project that calls anyone not doing business with its blacklist as “heroes,” even if they haven’t articulated an opinion, made their supplier lists public, and may just not have any reason for doing or not doing business with pariah companies.

If anyone deserves to be shamed it’s Daniel Perlman.
