But no one’s talking about taking your guns.

The Biggest Red Flag
Every Terrible Implement
M-16 Era Ends: Army’s 101st Airborne Division Receives Next-Gen Assault Rifles [More]
You and I can’t have those either, because they’re not “in common use.”
As long as we allow that to be defined by what’s popular for “self-defense” and sport as opposed to arms that soldiers bear, we’re giving the prohibitionists an out to screw us.

The Few, the Loud…
Democrat Ruben Gallego Would Prohibit Arizonans From Buying AR-15s … . “Carrying and using his M16 to defend himself and his fellow Marines in Iraq made it clear to Ruben that weapons of war have no place in civilian life”… [More]
Ah, the old familar lie of omission compounded with false authority!
Just because you were a Marine doesn’t mean you can’t be a domestic enemy.
Just ask Lee Harvey Oswald.

DOJ Reconsiders Denial of Documents in Hunter Biden-Related NICS Permanent Entry Consent Suit
Does the DOJ have the power to create new classes of “prohibited persons” outside of what is statutorily defined? [More]
First they said they had no pages. Now they say they have 350. So what’s on those pages, and will any establish they are authorized to redefine”prohibited person” disqualifiers?
Unequal Protection
Democrat Judge Exempts NRA Members From New Gun Rule [More]
Well, I’ve got mine. The hell with the rest o’ youse.
Sorry — just practicing in case I ever become one of the elites. I keep telling the wife all she’s gotta do is pick six lousy numbers and she can’t even do that right.
Even though it’s temporary, I’ve never been a quasi-“Only One” before.
Playing the Percentages
However, the recent investigation by the Second Amendment Foundation revealed that 97Percent supports bans on “assault weapons,” standard-capacity magazines, and bump stocks and has called for permits to carry, purchase, and even possess firearms. It supports mandatory background checks and mandatory storage laws and claims the Second Amendment is “overprotected.” [More]
Welcome to the party, pals.
Are They Trusted to Walk Among Us?
Should non-violent felons have the ability to get their Second Amendmet rights back? Is this an issue that finally needs to be decided once and for all by the Supreme Court? Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, dicusses a case, which has not garnered a lot of attention, but which may be the perfect case for SCOTUS to decide this issue once and for all. There are thousands of Americans who need this issue resolved so that they too may exercise their inalienable right of self=preservation. [More]
You know my answer.

Follow the Money
Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendment proposals Tuesday that prohibit private money from being used to conduct elections and mandate only legally designated government officials may administer elections. This makes Wisconsin the 28th state to ban “Zuckbucks”-style electioneering and the second to do so by constitutional amendment. [More]
So, if they’re capable of being rational about elections, what the hell is this about?
Or am I making an assumption that ignores the same First Amendment abridgements that made McCain-Feingold so objectionable?
Feel free to edumacate me on similarities and differences.

Vichycons Gonna Vichycon
You are the reason there are court battles to stop Measure 114. Javadi and the Republican House Reps have done nothing to help in this battle and it’s disgraceful that they would try to use this vicious attack on your rights to hustle you. [More]
If Oregon Republicans aren’t going to fight, they can feel our pain.
It’s not like electing them makes a difference. And any money spent on them is money that won’t be available to fight the legal battles they should be leading in.

Feds set to widen Diddy sex probe over claims rapper boasted about shooting people, bribing jurors and using J.Lo as gun mule [More]
Not the J.Lo who “supports teens against gun violence“…???

Challenge to Illinois Assault Weapon Ban Includes Militia Considerations in Right to Arms
“If courts continue to operate under the misimpression that the right to keep and bear arms protects only neutered firearms like break-barrel shotguns and bolt-action hunting rifles, the Second Amendment will offer little but a parchment barrier against tyranny,” the GOA petition correctly observes. [More]
It’s a necesary legal hurdle to clear if gun owners ever hope to challenge the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act.
The Wrong People
The now 49-year-old father of 12-year-old twin girls focuses on the bad guys who end up using the guns, he said. “Guns are not the problem,” said DeVito, who plans to retire next month. “I’m an advocate of the second amendment. At the end of the day, the problem is guns ending up in the hands of the wrong people.” [More]
And there’s only one solution to that. The one nobody wants to acknowledge.

A Presumption of Innocence
Essentially, the district court concluded that a significant increase in lawfully possessed guns in New York City has altered the probable cause equation in these cases. [More]
What does it tell us of people who are upset with this?
Catch and Release
How the ATF traced guns at crime scenes to St. Charles man [More]
But it’s not as fun as going after collectors and FFLs, as you can tell by the “five years probation” sentence.

Brought to You By…
A U.S. judge on Monday ruled that the Mexican government could move forward with a lawsuit accusing five Arizona gun dealers of participating in the trafficking of weapons and ammunition to drug cartels across the U.S.-Mexico border. [More]
I see plenty of Republican “Yea” votes…

RFK Jr. Would Put Gun Banner-Supporting VP Pick a Heartbeat from Presidency
She has described herself as a “progressive through and through” … She has donated to Democratic politicians such as Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, Pete Buttigieg in 2020, and her local Congressman Democrat Ro Khanna, along with a slew of Democratic politicians across the country. In 2020, Shanahan co-hosted a fundraiser for Buttigieg. And she also supported Marianne Williamson’s long-shot 2020 bid. She donated $25,000 to the Biden Victory Fund in 2020. [More]
It’s tempting to think he’ll only be a spoiler hurting Biden, but some “conservatives” enamored of his Covid “vaccine” warnings, and some gun owners uninformed enough to believe his qualified 2A “assurances,” could make that sword cut both ways.
Dix: Representatives of People Who Resist Infringements Have a Lot of Gall Complaining About Crime
In addition to nullifying existing firearm regulations, the bill makes it even more difficult for officials to enforce gun laws. [More]
He says that like it’s a bad thing.
A loaded chamber indicator on a Beretta 92 Compact L did not stop 14-year-old Michael Soe from feloniously killing 15-year-old Kenzo Dix during a practical joke. The fact is, Soe’s father left a loaded gun where an untrained, impulsive and judgmentally-challenged adolescent could find it. In their lawsuit, backed by CPHV, Dix’s parents maintained, among other charges, that the chamber indicator was inadequate because the gun was not inscribed with a warning as well. Presumably, were Beretta to do so, they would still be deemed negligent for not including such warnings in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese and Tagalog.
We can sympathise with his loss. That does not give him a pass to attack our rights, and when he does, his motives shouldn’t lessen our response.
