ATF Returns Bump Stock to Rightful Owner After Five-Year Legal Struggle

This is a small but concrete example that we still have at our disposal the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders and that we can still use the courts to our advantage, as frustratingly drawn out as that process can be. We won’t be able to do that anymore if apathy and cynicism turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy that cedes the power to appoint the federal judiciary to the Democrats, who will then be able to have the Bruen opinion reversed and any citizen disarmament edict they pass upheld. [More]

As long as we can still score wins by peaceable means you can’t legitimately say voting is useless. Don’t let a self-fulfilling prophecy make this the election that changes that.

His Heart’s in the Right Place. Will Head Ever Follow?

Trump asked at Mar-A-Lago presser if his view on AR-15 has changed following assassination attempt [48:43]

It’s about more than personal protection and I don’t believe the “Chicago has the toughest gun laws” assumption still stands.

I cannot stress stongly enough, Gun Owners for Trump need his ear. If they’re just there for show and he’s going to keep knee-jerking because he knows best, we won’t have a president who actually understands why “shall not be infringed” are the most important words for government to heed.

Something in Common

“Commonly owned,” “typically possessed” and “ordinary” are key words here. [More]

And “commonly owned,” “typically possessed” and “ordinary” by and for whom is the key question here.

Last I looked, it wasn’t “the right of the people to keep and bear commonly owned, typically possessed and ordinary arms shall not be infringed.” That attitude will result in 2A being rendered a moot point.

You’d think our NSSF “leaders” would know that.

Cheering on the Existential Threat

“We know our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it: comprehensive reform. That includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship,” Harris said. [More]

That includes 30 million + new Democrats. It does not include the concerns of traditional gun-owning Americans.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Setting Precedent

Specifically, I’m going to explain how the legal theories they are advancing before the United States Supreme Court in the VanDerStok case dealing with quote unquote ghost guns, which are unserialized firearms and gun gun parts. how theATF’s position with the Biden/Harris Administrations arguments are exactly that they’re setting the precedent for declaring that AR-15s are machine guns and can be banned because they cannot be added to the NFA register… [Watch]

Exactly what some of us have been arguing the bump stock ban opened the door for, which makes it curious that he’s one of the ones arguing — without contemporaneous documentation — that Trump’s ban was a brilliant 3D chess move.

She Lies Because She Knows She Can Get Away With It

Harris looked at the AFT audience and said, “While you try to create safe and welcoming places where our children can learn, extremists attack our freedom to live safe from gun violence. They have the nerve to tell teachers to strap on a gun in the classroom.” [More]

Don’t look for her to ever be publicly confronted with the truth.

There Oughta Be a Law

The family hoped officers would either seize the weapon or transfer it elsewhere. The gun ended up with a third party, then eventually ended up back in Harris’ hands. Police could not take possession of the weapon at the time due to Missouri’s lack of a red flag law. [More]

Ya gotta wonder when people are going to wake up and realize it’s not the weapon that needs to be transferred elsewhere…

Invaders Repelled Again

A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts again dismissed a $10 billion Mexican government lawsuit against six U.S. gun manufacturers on Wednesday. [More]

Did I miss a story about the companies countersuing, or is that somehow not legally or economically advisable? Why?

If the companies won’t do it, would a stockholder have standing?

Anybody hear a plan on if Trump wins what he will do to put a stop to this?

Marxist-Raised Raskin Proposes Starting Civil War by Denying Trump Election Eligibility

While he’s the one bemoaning civil war if he succeeds in denying half the country its choice for president, he dismisses the Second Amendment being an ultimate check against tyranny as “a constitutional joke”. [More]

Red Jamie says turn in your guns. And no, you don’t get to vote on it.

A Reagan Republican

A federal appeals court upheld Maryland’s ban on assault-style weapons Tuesday in an opinion that found regulating “excessively dangerous weapons” compatible with the Second Amendment. [More]

WarOnGuns has obtained an exclusive photo showing the legal contortions necessary for J. Harvie Wilkinson III to do that.

A Reagan appointee…

I wish I could say I was surprised.
