Inclusiveness Writ Large
“These fifty laws identified by the Attorney General constitute a long, embarrassing, disgusting, insidious, reprehensible list of examples of government tyranny towards our own people,” Benitez wrote — and such “repugnant historical examples of prejudice and bigotry will not be used to justify the State’s current infringement on the constitutional rights of citizens.” [More]
Yet that’s exactly what Rob Bonta and all Democrats– not just the California ones — are calling for, no matter how much they try to distance themselves with specious, self-serving excuses.
Using their “logic,” they can also use the whip as long as they do it to all of us.
What do we have a Second Amendment for, again…?

There Can Be Only Ones
“We really only want firearms in the hands of those who can handle a firearm responsibly,” said Sen. Barbara Favola. [More]
As evidenced by a badge, right, Babs?
Meanwhile, our fellow violence monopolists in other states are eliminating citizen safety training and encouraging those who can’t handle firearms responsibly to handle them.

When are departments going to learn “star cop” liabilities can outweigh any perceived PR value?
Let’s hope if one of the ignorant people he’s urging to handle and transport a gun ends up shooting someone that victims and survivors go after Shaq’s deep pockets. And the city’s, because they elected the sheriff.

We’re the Only Ones Pro-Gun Enough
From an email conversation I was having about cops, oaths, and pensions with Hershchel:
I had a similar experience with a “pro gun cop” who claimed to support 2A that I had been corresponding with a while back–
I asked him – since he knew who I was and knew I would not do anything criminal with it – if asked if I let him know I was peaceably carrying concealed and did not have a permit because it is my right to bear arms, would he arrest me?
After hemming and hawing and excuse making, I finally got him to admit he would “have to” enforce the law.
I recall writing this up on the old blog– perhaps even having the conversation in comments under a post — but it’s been years and I don’t have time to try and find it, assuming I even could…
No Supply Demand
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses HB 2118, a actual reality this legislative session and a bill who’s sole purpose is to financially ruin every single FFL in the State of Washington. If you thought your individual liberties have been under attack, wait until you check this piece of leglislation out. This is the most Orwellian and dystopian piece of legislation to ever be introduced in Washington State and must be stopped now. [Watch]

Cancellation of Maine ‘AR’ Safety Class Opens Questions as to Motives and Legality
That leaves a potential conflict, as duly enacted existing law, which mandates “The commissioner shall establish a program for training individuals in the safe handling of firearms,” does not add a proviso saying “except for firearms that Democrats don’t like.” And the truth about that is all of them, as the Fudds will find out when they’re no longer needed.

Who knew “commonsense gun safety” meant no training? My Freedom of Access Act Request attempts to find out who’d behind that bit of idiocy.

All an Act?
Gun control was once ‘electoral kryptonite.’ Now Colorado Democrats are emboldened — and prepared to act [More]
Yes, they do show their true colors when they’re convinced they have the numbers to forcwe things down yout throat and gloat about it.
The question here is, what does “prepared to act” really mean?

Guns, in other words, are not just threats to public health; they are threats, as historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, to the “strong civic culture and a public sphere conducive to social trust and altruism” that healthy democracies require. [More]

All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
