So it took people with guns to stop him…?
Funny, you’d think by now they’d be able to ID that attacker…

This is just another front in the War on Tradtional Americans.
“Faith community” my… eye.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
And not to derail more important considerations, but when I heard the line about strip clubs staying open during Covid shutdowns while everybody else was being shut down, my first thought was to wonder where they wore the masks…

A handful of antis and Fudds repeating tired old lies was enough to get the Department to cave. As for their excuse that it was too soon after the Lewistown shooting, the question not being asked is what does a known nutjob going ballistic after being left alone by fearful authorities have to do with peaceable citizens and their lawfully owned rifles– and will the time ever come when prohibitionists don’t object to such training? If the maniac rammed his car into a group of people, would Maine cancel drivers ed classes? [More]
Ceding to prejudice, ignorance, and fear is no way to run a department.
Oliver’s latest effort to honor his son is completely different. He is a consultant on a short film, “American Cancer Story,” a chilling look at both childhood cancer and school shootings. [More]
Comments turned off, naturally.
We’ve talked about this rights hater before. And again. And again, where it’s apparent he’s getting increasingly ghoulish. But it’s interesting that all the projects he’s involved in are high dollar and don’t look like they’ll actually change any minds or succeed, so by all means, antis, squander it on no bang for the buck efforts that make you feel good and do nothing else.
I am sorry for his “gun-free zone”-enabled loss. That does not give him claim to put me and those I love in the same vulnerable position.

At that hearing, a law officer “falsely told the judge that ATF had been watching Mr. Wilson for 13 months and then listed dates the ATF falsely claimed he sold drugs. The agent also falsely told the judge that the Government had Mr. Wilson on tape committing these crimes,” the lawsuit said. [More]
We know Wilson’s name. How come we don’t know the name of the incompetent badged thug, and what’s going to happen with him?
Why only civil charges for kidnapping/hostage-taking? And why wouldn’t a citizen have the right to use all necessary force to protect himself and stop them?

But we are expecting bills that deal with firearms in some capacity to be heard. [More]

Our executive director, Olivia Troye, will be joined by Joshua Horwitz and Shannon Frattaroli from Johns Hopkins University, which just launched a national red flag law resource center with the U.S. Department of Justice – as well as Christopher Carita, a former detective from the Ft. Lauderdale, FL Police Threat Response Unit, who will speak about his experience with red flag laws in a state leading the nation in usage [More]
This former Pence aide is proving to be even more ineffectual than the last figurehead.
“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month in the 2021 shooting death of Halyna Hutchins. [More]
Time for a new career since “prohibited persons” can’t touch guns on movie sets. Just ask Pokey Poke.
Now, what about the “gun safety advocate”?

California law bars non-residents from carrying a gun. Does that violate the Second Amendment? [More]
No one who is not a prohibitionist would even ask.
Or as Democrat Roger Taney wrote when horrified at the prospect of Dred Scott being considered a citizen:
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State … and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
Wait… that last link is from Oath Keepers…? What are racist Nazi rightwing insurrectionists doing defending rights for all…?

Of course they know this will end up in court. But they have all the money in the world to tie things up until Republicans blow it and Democrats can stack SCOTUS to reverse Bruen.
