We’re the Only Ones Inexperienced Enough

I would bet that the vast majority of all NYPD officers never even touched a real firearm until after they joined the department and were sent to the range. After all, guns and gun owners are bad, right? [More]

That’s not far off from what a retired NYPD Sergeant and firearms instructor, whom I actually developed a cordial relationship with, told me over several evenings of drinks and cigars.

In the Spirit of Aloha

A new major federal court case has just been commenced in the US District Court of Hawaii challenging the state’s ban on non-residents being able to carry handguns in the state for self defense purposes… Alan Beck has set forth an impressive set of 35 pages of historical material that arguably can give rise to… a constitutional right to conceal carry nationwide.

In a just world, text, history, and tradition trump Kapu tradition.

Worth Repeating

This comment:

Chief Patron of HB217, Del. Helmer, is on record saying they want them all gone. Helmer, a Jew, clearly is not familiar with JPFO, or the history of disarmament of Jews in the 20th century, and the consequences thereof.

And not just these. He and his treasonous kind want them all but most are politically savvy enough to know that it’s too soon to show all theirs cards.

Not to criticize my friend Aaron Zelman, who is no longer around to offer rebuttal, but “bagel brain” is too excusing of evil. That Helmer has a distinguished military career makes it worse, in a Benedict Arnold kinda way.

Another thing worth repeating: When the hell is SCOTUS gonna slap down such nonsense and put an end to it? Because if they don’t do it before Republicans hand over the keys in the midterms and ’28, all those gun owners who didn’t vote and made this outcome inevitable are going to find out what doing it the hard way entails.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

A spokesman from Thames Valley Police said: “[It is the] last week to surrender illegal Bruni black firing pistols. “If you have one of the five illegal Bruni TVBF models, hand it in safely and anonymously. “After 27 February you could face prosecution and up to 10 years in prison. [More]

And Thames Valley Police are “not obliged” to justify their tyranny.

Of Course You Realize This Means War

Proposed Minnesota legislation HF 3433 (often associated with HF 3434) includes provisions that would allow law enforcement to conduct warrantless, at-will inspections of private homes to ensure compliance with storage regulations for registered “semiautomatic military-style assault weapons” (SAMSAWs)… To retain previously owned semiautomatic rifles, owners must agree to allow law enforcement to inspect their home storage at any time without a warrant. [More]

“Registered”…?

Not for tyrants and traitors I won’t.

If you can ignore the Second Amendment, you don’t have to worry about the Fourth. Or the First. Or…

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) has filed a federal lawsuit seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from continued enforcement of registration and permitting requirements for noise suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and NFA-defined “any other weapons.” [More]

Adding this perspective is helpful. Except with national socialists…

And the Hits Just Keep on Coming

HB 4145, the Democrats’ latest attack on gun rights, has passed the Oregon House and is on its way to the Senate. (Oregon’s Republicans provided the quorum that allowed the bill to pass.) This outcome should be a surprise to no one. [More]

No, of course refugee immigrant Trần doesn’t appreciate the essential differences between the tyranny she fled and the culture that took her in.

As far as Oregon Democrats are concerned, you Heritage Americans are so yesterday

Boy, You’re Gonna Carry That Weight

LAWYER: MASSIVE Court Case That Could Make It Illegal To Carry ANYWHERE! [More]

My initial instinct was to dismiss that title as just more gunfluencer clickbait hyperbole, but he’s right. If Republicans blow the midterms and Democrats take the presidency in ’28, this is just what they’ll do, and they’ll have the federal court/SCOTUS confirmations to make it so.

Thing is, making something “illegal” is not the same as taking away rights.

Surrendering them or not is a personal choice we each must make.
