Politicians need to understand using “procedural tools” is preferable than the other kind.

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.

‘Non-Dangerous Felon’ Opinion Leaves More Immediate Danger Unresolved
The late Robert J. Kukla made a brilliant observation in his 1973 classic, Gun Control, equating the release of violent misfits from prison with opening the cage of a man-eating tiger and expecting a different result. [More]
Anyone who can’t be trusted with a gun can’t be trusted without a custodian.
We’re the Only Ones Falsely Accusing Enough
An 18-year-old man spent 20 hours in jail this week after his attorney says New Roads police wrongfully arrested him on felony charges for allegedly possessing a stolen gun that was not stolen. [More]

It sounds like they’ve got bigger problems than incompetence.

Trump DOJ Stands Idly by as States Destroy the Second Amendment
Where is that plan of action that was due 30 days after the President’s Executive Order, Protecting Second Amendment Rights, dated February 7, 2025? Where is the DOJ on these grave violations of Americans’ gun rights? Why is the subversion of our Constitution so commonplace that lawmakers feel free to adopt infringements from countries that do not recognize a God-given right to defend life and liberty from tyranny?

Honolulu Police Department Responds to Request for Approved Firearm Instructors
This created a dilemma for Hawaii’s gun owners, the post explained, because it “left residents seeking lawful training with no independent way to confirm who was approved.” [More]

Insensitive Places
[A]s Bruen explained, larger, open places like cities, sidewalks, and parks cannot be considered sensitive places because it would effectively nullify the Second Amendment right to categorically exclude them from its coverage. [More]
Thanks for throwing your fellow gun-grabbers under the public transit bus!
Now acknowledge that even with closed space “protection,” “it’s”Only Ones” who claimed credit for stopping attacks have been reported to be hiding while a citizen subdued the attacker, and then there’s the not insignificant matter of making it to or from the “sensitive area” in one piece.

That report on you…
I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen legislation that abrogates so many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights in one edict.

Biting Off More Than They Can Chew
The delay came after Miranda Viscoli, executive director of New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, had warned the legislation was “legally vulnerable and likely to backfire.” “By passing a ban this broad, we are handing the U.S. Supreme Court a perfect opportunity to deliver a definitive, nationwide ruling against state-level firearm restrictions,” Viscoli told The New Mexican last week.

For now.
Let the Republicans blow the midterms and the Epstein brouhaha hand over the presidency in ’28, and we’ll see a whole new SCOTUS shortly thereafter bent on torpedoing Heller, McDonald and Bruen.

Cekada Heading ATF Still a No-Win Scenario for Gun Owners
Noting the legal environment the nominee is part of and stepping into, he’s as good as we’re going to get, but hardly measures up to the superlatives of being “truly pro-Second Amendment.” [More]
Some refuse to accept the parameters being defined for them, “don’t believe in the no-win scenario,” and don’t consider a writhing platter of gagh to be a gourmet meal.

Why is it all the “commonsense gun safety law” organizations — every one of them — endorse politicians for illegals and against ICE? That is, if they’re sincere about their stated goal?

And Thank You for Your Service
Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System as “prohibited persons” only because they need help from a fiduciary in managing their VA benefits… In addition to immediately stopping the reporting of VA Fiduciary Program participants to NICS, the department is working with the FBI to remove all past VA reporting from NICS, so no Veterans are unfairly deprived of their Second Amendment rights based solely on participation in VA’s Fiduciary Program… The Department of Justice supports this action.

I call ’em out when they do something wrong. It’s only fair to acknowledge when they get it right.

Newsom Disenfranchising Minorities
Newsom Opposes Voter ID Laws, but Ignores Far Worse Abuses in California for CCW Permits [More]
I’ve been pointing out that disconnect for some time:
If photo IDs disenfranchise minority voters as “progressives” claim, why doesn’t the same requirement disenfranchise them from their right to keep and bear arms?
The answer, of course, is that it does, and that Democrats are racist hypocrites and liars.
Attorney Tom Grieve has a new video out that explains how burdensome California prior restraints are for the working poor.
