California to Outlaw Chairs?

California argues that, under the Gun Control Act, a receiver or frame can be considered a firearm because such pieces are “designed to or may readily be converted” into functional weapons. [More]

Shoot, I can instantly convert all kinds of things into a functional weapon.

The state calls ghost guns the “weapon of choice” for gun traffickers, gangs and political extremists, and says the Golden State has had to incur significant costs to regulate the guns because ATF is not doing so.

Talk about a term of convenience!

Gotta Serve Somebody

The two letters show opposite assumptions about reality and the role of governments. The NY letter assumes guns are bad, and ordinary citizens should not have guns, because ordinary citizens do bad things with guns. The letter from the 28 states assumes government is subordinate to the people, government must defend the nation, and an armed population aids the government in defending the nation against all enemies. These two assumptions about reality are in direct conflict. [More]

Like Mike always said:

We are, in fact, two countries divided by the fundamental difference of principle on the question: Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?

Order in Illinois Gun/Magazine Ban Case

You can see that Stephen McGlynn is implicitly saying that he totally, totally disagrees with the ruling of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and while he’s not calling those judges morons, he’s basically saying, shall we say, they’re clearly wrong on the law. [Watch]

Nothing to stop the rest of us from calling them what they deserve…

A Way to Make It Harder

Dettelbach, in the AP interview, declined to comment on the specifics of Card’s case, which an independent commission in Maine is investigating. But he said it is clear that the nation needs to make it harder for people “that everyone agrees should not have firearms, who the law says are not entitled to have firearms, to get them because it’s too easy to get them now.” [More]

But we already know a way.

It’s just that there’s this “due process” thing those who would rule us don’t want to have to follow…

Herer’s a first step in the right direction, but as long as they’ve got to be let out before they can be declared safe with certainty, expect plenty of lapses.

12 on Whose Side?

Community calls Communists call for stricter gun laws from Governor Youngkin [More]

There, I fixed it for ya.

How much “violence” have these hive insects “prevented,” and what are Shantell Rock’s qualifications for being a quotable “gun safety” authority aside from making promises she is incapable of keeping to useful idiots who force their feelings on the rest of us?

F***ing “real reporters”… most really are too ignorant to get why.

Billy for You

Defendant Attorney General Rob Bonta, and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with him, and those duly sworn state peace officers and federal law enforcement officers who gain knowledge of this injunction order or know of the existence of this injunction order, are enjoined from implementing or enforcing California Penal Code § 22210 as it applies to a billy. [More]

Bastards don’t even want you to have a club…

Now look for the Ninth Cicuit to screw it up.

Hawaii’s Butterfly Knife Decision and ‘Spirit of Aloha’ Both Offensive to Freedom

We have two citizen disarmament cases wending their way through two courts, but they both rely on essentially the same thing: superstition relying on ancient barbaric belief systems that say the people exist to serve rulers rather than the government exists to serve the people. [More]

We are supposed to be beyond rule by kapu, where offenders are severely punished for offending the gods, which judges and politicians increasingly portray themselves to be when they presume to deny unalienable rights.

Apples And Oranges

Maine lawmakers call on Cabela’s, Kittery Trading Post to stop selling ‘assault rifles’ [More]

Well, yeah, because “gunman, Robert Card, bought one of his weapons, a handgun, at the Cabela’s in Scarborough.”

Don’t worry– the grabbers’ll come back to their initial goal in due time:

Take Action Now?

This brazen move toward confiscation of your firearms by the state must not be taken lightly. Act today to let the California Senate know just what you think of this attack on your liberty. [More]

Why? Do you want to give all those anti-gun Democrats in safe seats a good chuckle, or just burn out activist supporters on fruitless missions to nowhere?

It’s awful tough when you refuse to even consider the reason CA turned from Republican to unchallengeably Democrat. If gun groups hadn’t been deliberately indifferent to that for decades with their “single issue” evasion, they might not have to keep hitting up members for lawsuit money to fight edicts passed by Democrat-dominated legislatures that their disinterest ensured.

The Butterfly Effect

Ninth Circuit to rehear Hawaii butterfly knife ban… In its en banc petition, the state only briefly touched on historical arms regulations in its pre-territorial days. However, the state Supreme Court recently harkened back to the Kingdom of Hawaii — which historically levied heavy regulations on weapons — while pushing back on the Second Amendment. [More]

We’re talking Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck’s case,

Judge ReTodd Eddins thinks “the spirit of Aloha” is the supreme law of the land there? I know they had history and tradition– did they have text? And does that spirit mean they’re bringing back Kapu?

Mark W. Smith thinks this may backfire.

Thank You, Captain Obvious

There’s Just One Problem With Gun Buybacks – They don’t work. [More]

You don’t say.

Now what other “commonsense gun safety laws” would you like to admit the truth about?

To protect all Americans, the federal government has passed many laws to restrict and limit firearm purchases. The offenders in this research, however, stated that none of these laws or statutes deterred them.

This is one of the problems when old stuff is disappeared off the net. Even though some if it may be archived, it still requires those of us who remember it to be around to find it and reintroduce it.

Now It’s In for the Kill

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Wednesday his office has reached a settlement with Polymer80, one of the largest makers of ghost gun kits and parts in the nation, that will prevent the company from advertising and selling its firearms in Maryland. The company will also pay $1.2 million in damages. [More]
