I Rest My Case

Young was charged with driving with a suspended license, felon in possession of a firearm, two counts of grand theft of a firearm, fleeing police, resisting an officer and a probation violation. Maloy was charged with possession of a controlled substance, resisting an officer and felon in possession of a firearm. He also had three warrants for his arrest out of Hillsborough and Lee counties. [More]

Tell me that doesn’t make the case for disarming you and me!

Spooking the Herd

In the United States, we live in a perpetual state of panic to the degree that the sound of glass shattering in one hotel causes mass hysteria the entire length of one of America’s most famous streets. [More]

What you mean “we,” Kemosabe?

Sounds like she plans on going right back to being a sniveling ungulate demanding government do something about those who aren’t.

A Criminal Mayor Conspiracy

GUN CONTROL MAYORS CONSPIRING AGAINST FIREARM MANUFACTURERS [More]

The Bloomberg criminals are picking up the “public nuisance” lawsuit strategy.

So when are industry reps Larry Keane and the NSSF going to do more than yack about it and call for their members to pick a target city like New York and go all Barrett on them?

Never Say Never

The level of GOP opposition indicates the bill is unlikely to advance in the evenly split Senate, where it would require the support of at least 10 Republicans to defeat a guaranteed filibuster. It’s also not clear if the measure has the support of all 50 Senate Democrats. [More]

Forgive me for wondering what kind of new incident would be enough to make it happen.

Proposed Banking Merchant Category Codes Latest Backdoor Ploy to ID Gun Owners

The software would know “prohibited person” status? How? Are banks now going to tap into NICS and perform after-the-fact “background checks”? How is such data sharing with private parties authorized by law? [More]

Rope-selling phony “capitalists,” that is, embedded Marxists and economic fascists, are banking on disarmament.

If Wishes Were Fishes

Celebrity YouTuber cites Supreme Court gun ruling in bid to dismiss machine gun charges [More]

I’m not seeing how the most effective arguments can be considered with zero mentions of “militia.” That makes me wonder about the Second Amendment law track record the attorneys have achieved.

Don’t get me wrong: I think “shall not be infringed” and “every terrible implement of the soldier” should be all you need to win, but I wouldn’t take that into court unless I had a lot more behind it.

I’d like to see some qualified voices weigh in on the viability of the motion and the risks of establishing any precedents that could complicate future efforts if it fails.

A Team Effort

On Monday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration’s “Ghost Gun” and Gun Registry Final Rule, which will go into effect on August 24. Today, GOA and GOF were joined by the Attorneys General of 17 states in the filing: Arizona, West Virginia, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

I’d give you a link but at this writing, it has not yet been posted on the Press Center page. I’ll update when I have it and as I have time.

A Vote Delayed…

Democrats delay votes on police, gun control legislation Package included bills on a new assault weapons ban, to reinstate some civil liability for gun-makers and on grants for police [More]

That means there are Democrats afraid to vote for it because it won’t play in their home districts. I need to find out who those are. There could be a real left-against-left exploitable weakness here.

Trust the ‘Science’?

Images in the paper that were supposed to show the relationship between memory issues and the presence of Aβ*56 appeared to have been altered. [More]

Fraud, eh? And damn the consequences? So does this mean we should be suspicious of every finding that supports a political agenda where some people stand to make out big?

Covid?

“Climate change”?

“Gun safety research”…?

#PamelaScott

“I told her we prefer ‘gun enthusiast,’” Nagel said. “She said she prefers ‘gun nuts,’ and she works for the ATF?”

Scott found nothing in the shop’s books other than a few minor clerical errors. There were no missing firearms or other significant problems.

“She said she was going to put us in for revocation, and that it may change as it goes up the chain, but that was her recommendation,” Nagel said. [More]

She sounds like a hook-baiter.

Tyranny enforcers haven’t learned a thing since King George “sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people.” I wonder if Republicans don’t blow it in November if House Oversight will subpoena her.

Felony Gun Ban Points to Unequal Treatment Under Selective Service Law

Conversely, equal treatment under the law demands that any born-biological female now identifying as a man be prosecuted for failure to register. After all, like the Selective Service sign warns, “It’s the law!” [More]

“It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola”? Think again. All this wokeness has resulted in some absurd unintended consequences.

Quit You Like Men

Democrats despise masculinity, especially moral masculinity, which is why the tip of the spear of their neo-Marxist revolution is gender ideology – the eradication of traditional sex roles and even of the biological reality of male and female. (The only arena in which toxic masculinity is acceptable to the Left today is in women’s sports.) They fear and despise men’s inherent warrior spirit because it is the most elemental barrier to their totalitarian agenda. They fear and despise the fact that the constitutional right to own a firearm empowers you to fulfill your responsibility as a man, to maintain your freedom as an American, and to defend the lives and freedom of others. [More]

Hence the ubiquitous seething, spiteful and bitchy meme

The Blame Game

Finally, we have one Hollyweird celebrity willing to come out and say so publicly. A recent “Real Time” with Bill Maher’s monologue gave a scathing indictment that Hollyweird has a significant responsibility regarding the cause of gun violence in America. [More]

Funny. I’ve seen all kinds of screen violence over a lifetime and I’ve never let it influence me to commit an act of violence. Ditto with my wife, our sons, our extended families, our friends…

I wouldn’t be turning to Maher for any kind of special insights or wisdom. Even though he pretends to have an intellect worth heeding, the smug little media rodent  ain’t half as perceptive or smart as, say, Mr. Adams in his address to the Massachusetts Militia:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
