Mother demands answers after son is among victims in series of shootings in 24 hours in Lancaster [More]
I have questions, too, starting with “Mom, where was your husband in that clip?”
Or are we not allowed to extrapolate from generalities? Because those who say we need more “gun control” sure do.
Is the answer really more police, or is that just a reaction to an effect?

Following Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy’s push for more gun control under the guise of declaring “gun violence” a “public health crisis,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced its support for the proposed Protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act, sponsored by U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-IN).

Prognosis 0% chance of being enacted
Revisit this after November and see if the numbers have changed.
The Supreme Court struck the ban down, making it clear that if you wanted to ban bumpstocks you had to do it the right way, which is the way the Constitution outlines, which is actually passing a bill through Congress and having it signed into law by the president. [Watch]
“Left unsaid is where Congress derives such authority in the first place, as the power to regulate and ban arms is nowhere delegated to it in the Constitution. The only clear mandate is ‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ By any branch of government.”
Change my mind. Show the section and clause.
I expect our would-be leaders to know this stuff.
House Democrats try bypassing GOP to force gun vote [More]
Prognosis 3% chance of being enacted
This is pre-election politicking designed to unnerve GOP cowards. It won’t work any better than Schumer’s bump stock stunt.

“McWhirter noted, “If there was ever a political situation in which PLCAA was rolled back, they would stop making AR-15s tomorrow because it would just be legally impossible. And, and all, every other gun would be really problematic.” [More]
It’s always been about taking your guns.
And The Trace has always been about its damaged propagandists, who no doubt are delusional enough to believe themselves champions of “commonsense gun safety. “
Elisabeth Epps, Tim Hernández unseated as Democratic legislative primary results are a mixed bag for progressives [More]
Oh, yeah, Sean “Ban weapons of war that have no place on Colorado streets” Camacho and Cecilia “Regulate or ban the sale of assault weapons in Colorado” Espinoza are going to be GREAT improvements. Not.
I’m not getting how anyone could consider the election of more effective enemies a “win. “

GOP rep wins primary against Trump-backed candidate in race to replace Romney [More]
Yes, of course he’s a grabtard.
And an invader enabler.
George Latimer defeats House ‘squad’ member Jamaal Bowman in historic New York Democratic primary [More]
I see some “gunfluencers” treating this as a good thing. It’s not.
George is every bit the enemy, and with the perception that he’s “moderate,” he’ll be more effective at passing citizen disarmament mandates than the radical moron he’s sidelining.

Vivek Murthy said it, they believe it, that settles it. [More]
That’s one way to keep the truth from showing what liars they are and avoid the embarrassment of public ratioing. What they call “Giffords Courage.”
The Self-Defense Brigade, organized “at the behest of Archbishop Dexter Burke of the Walk in the Light Church of God,” is reminiscent of an effort from the middle of the last century, one remembered and honored by Amendment advocates with long memories, but for the most part ignored by Democrats and self-designated “civil rights leaders,” none of whom, if they even know about him, are keeping the example set by Robert Hicks alive, to be reflected on today and passed on to the next generations.

Go ahead, sic the cops on ’em, Democrats. I dare ya.
Fort Smith man sentenced to prison for tax charges must forfeit over 3,000 guns seized by authorities – Mehta was heard saying “I’m sorry for my actions, I’ve never been violent, and I’m not a criminal at heart,” during court proceedings. [More]
He still thinks this is about fighting crime?
That oughta give all the oath-breaking infringers a good laugh.

The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, issued a new advisory on Tuesday declaring gun violence a public health crisis. In his announcement, Murthy also called for an evidence-based approach to public health change and a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines for civilian use. [More]
Funny… I don’t feel any symptoms and I don’t even wear a mask…
Were it truly evidence-based, that’s the last thing this foreign born embedded subversive would be calling for.

Major breaking news: Attorney General Merrick Garland and his solicitor general are trying to strike while the iron is hot, so they think. They have just requested of the United States Supreme Court that the court take a series … of cases involving Second Amendment challenges … basically trying to take advantage of what they think is a huge win for them in the Rahimi case… [Watch]
It was a huge win. It showed just how malleable all the “good” Bruen judges, with the exception of Clarence Thomas, are.
And like all jackals, emboldened when they sense weakness, they move the circle in to attack.
