The Tip of the Iceberg

But Bellows, who was elected in 2022, cited a 2008 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that there is a “strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans.”… Bellows also ruled the prosecutors did not present evidence of a historical tradition of disarming felons after the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791.

There oughta be a law!

Bruen terrifies the Deep State Swamp. What other areas of “law” would fail its test?

Toronto Police Advise Citizens Preemptively Surrender to Thieves to Avoid Being Hurt or Killed

So, take the doorstop and let the criminals (freelance and official) rule the night because, as Constable Marco reminds us, “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them. And they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded.” [More]

Just give them what they want? What if what they want is you?

Swiss Shooting Culture ‘Documentary’ Reinforces False Narrative to Justify ‘Gun Control’

It would help if he didn’t automatically buy into prohibitionist propaganda, but by doing so he relieves us of the obligation to take him as an impartial and objective observer. [More]

Why is there such a difference in the numbers and rates of violent crimes betweeen two armed cultures? Hint: It ain’t because of “gun control” laws.

Democrat AG Ellison Continues War on Legal Gun Sales with Complaint Against Fleet Farm

And his excuse for going after Fleet Farm is that its retail employees can’t do the impossible and read the hearts and minds of customers, and that it is therefore responsible for not just their criminal actions, but for the subsequent actions of those they deal with. [More]

A commie gun-grabber commits lawfare against a deep pockets victim because he can. Just like the Founders intended, right?

There’s a Storm Coming

We are at War! What are We Going to DO? [More]

So posting memes and anonymous griping comments aren’t going to do the trick?

The only thing I don’t see is the local level American traitor political and enforcement collaborators, who will act at the direction of their new masters to convince the helpless, the unprepared, and the cowardly that surrender will buy survival. For just long enough to close the trap.

Who thinks the scenario envisioned here is over-the-top impossible? A ridiculous screen fantasy…?

Why?

Snitch Nation

It also targets reported instances of “a person’s hostile expression of animus toward another person, relating to the other person’s actual or perceived characteristics…” Literally, the hotline gives people a way of informing on others supposedly guilty of thought crimes – or, perhaps, speech crimes. [More]

Hey, if you don’t have any forbidden thoughts you’ve got nothing to worry about.

And tell me the bill’s main sponsor’s other priority surprises you.

How Much More ‘Pro-Criminal’ Does She Have to Be?

“The vote on Secure DC is only necessary due to the reckless, pro-criminal and anti-police policies Councilmember Nadeau has championed over her last decade in office,” the Committee to Recall Brianne Nadeau said in a statement. [More]

Not the Democrat who hosted Moms Demand and whose staffer was arrested on “felony charges for assault with a deadly weapon” when he got into a shootout in front of a “marijuana pop up”…?

One Step Forward…

The Second Amendment Foundation has been granted summary judgement in a federal challenge of California’s One-Gun-A-Month (OGM) purchase law. U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes stayed his decision for 30 days for the defendants to facilitate an appeal. [More]

And thumbing noses at Bruen will drag on and on and on with the hopes that Republicans blow the election and Democrats can reshape SCOTUS to reverse it.

And here’s the thing:

The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions. It cannot call out the troops or compel Congress or the president to obey. The Court relies on the executive and legislative branches to carry out its rulings. In some cases, the Supreme Court has been unable to enforce its rulings.

I’d need a lawyer to weigh in on whether they could charge inferior court judges with contempt for disregarding their rulings, and they’d still be dependent on the other branches. I fear the only “legal” remedy is impeachment, for which Republicans have neither the power nor the appetite.

So now we have to see what Hayes says in a month, and then see who initiates an appeal, then lather, rinse, repeat.

FOIA Request Questions FBI for Using NICS on NY Ammunition Background Checks

Can NICS be used for purposes for which it is not federally authorized? [More]

It makes fair the question “What else could the prohibitonists use it for?”

Judicial Gamesmanship

The analogy of undocumented immigrants to British loyalists is interesting. If a law-abiding, former enemy of the state could possess a firearm, an undocumented, but otherwise law-abiding, immigrant seems less extreme in comparison. [More]

He’s not “otherwise law-abiding.” He is an invader in possession during the commission of a crime.

The Obama judge is doing this on purpose to undermine Bruen.

We’re the Only Ones Prayerful Enough

“I just said a prayer last night that I hope my greatest fears don’t come true, and that’s that South Carolina becomes the Wild, Wild West,” Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told The Post and Courier. [More]

I wonder why the Democrat feels that way.
