The ‘Best Gold Standard’

The City Council on Tuesday unanimously directed staff to draft an ordinance that would be the “best gold standard” for placing restrictions on gun sales and ownership… “We want to make it as difficult as possible for (guns) to get into the hands of folks who might do something,” said Councilmember Caroline Torosis, who co-sponsored the discussion item.

“Do something” like what? Defend themselves against the rising crime you Peoples Republic mandarins, through your insufferable arrogance and incompetence, have ensured is doing nothing but getting worse…?

The Persecution Complex

The County Attorney and law enforcement have charged Walker with violating MN 609.667 because his privately made firearms do not have serial numbers on them – despite not being required under federal law – and, in our opinion, not needed under Minnesota statutes. The judge in the case has disagreed. [More]

His mother has started a legal defense fund.

Case Number: 71-CR-22-923

(Case Title: State of Minnesota vs Matthew Walker Anderson)

I’d love to tear into this but my plate is full and it will be a few days–hopefully, someone will be able to give us more information before then, and maybe convince one of the gun groups to provide legal assistance.

The Dozens Mom March

“We were all a bit disappointed,” Rao told media, trying to sell momentum. “We will base it on what we have learned this past week, what worked and what didn’t work, and we will keep going until we get the Second Amendment repealed.” [More]

With your legion of “hundreds”?

In spite of all that free publicity and they still only have hundreds of Twitter followers…?

A Common Factor

The CDC recommends sexually active gay or bisexual men get tested annually for gonorrhea, and that women younger than 25 or older with new or multiple sex partners also get tested once a year. [More]

So the real way to reduce it, like with abortion, is through self-control, as opposed to self-indulgent and obnoxious in-your-face demands on everybody else…

I wonder if the same principle could be applied to guns…?

Republican Holdouts on Pistol Brace Vote Point to Larger GOP Problem

With this being SOP for the GOP, it’s no wonder lesser luminaries like Fitzpatrick and Kean feel like they can do anything they want, and “lesser of two evils” gun voters won’t have a choice but to keep rewarding them with power. [More]

If the turncoats will betray gun owners on something as clear-cut as this, what won’t they betray them on?

That’s One Less Obstacle for the Totalitarians to Overrun

It’s about official as it can get. Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp has made a deal with the Democrats and you are on the chopping block. Personally made firearms will be banned under Knopp’s sell out and while there is some talk of getting something on the record that it will not apply to AR style uppers, we have no reason to think they are actually going to change the language of the bill to clarify that. [More]

Yeah, throw the circling jackals a scrap of flesh. That’ll make ’em go away!

Unclear on the Concept

If you want to have a gun, you need to join the militia. [More]

Inigo would like to have a word about “well regulated.”

Marsha hasn’t read Heller, has she?

Or found anything from the Framers to support her ignorance?

Still, we ignore those first 13 words at our peril. Just understand that the “well regulated” part applies to when on duty and your rights go back home with you intact.

Does this mean we get new M16s?

If You See Something Say Something

The guns will be collected anonymously, unloaded and stored in a locked safe. They will be turned in to Cleveland Police Department’s 4th precinct headquarters every day. [More]

Brandon can accept transfers without background checks? And with “prohibited persons” on staff? Does ATF know about this?

Hey, they don’t have a “No Guns” sticker on the door, do they?

I didn’t imagine there was much demand for Fois Gras and Cuisses de Grenouille among the gang bang set…

Who Will Judge the Judges?

Third Circuit, En Banc, Range v. Lombardo: Not All Modern Felons Lose Second Amendment Rights … Several judges dissented. [More]

Which ones?

Who nominated them?

Who voted to confirm them?

I could go find out but it would take time I don’t have right now.

It would be nice if there were a website that provided judicial ratings and a way to hold those who enabled them politically accountable. It would be even more useful if it also politically scaled and rated inferior court judges running in “nonpartisan” elections and showed who backs them so their partisan allegiances could be inferred.

I guess I’m talking something like Ballotpedia on steroids. Too bad the name “Judicial Watch” is taken, although come to think of it, they’d be the perfect ones to take this on.

Democrats Pressuring House Republicans into Caving on Guns

Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]

They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.

With Republicans Like These

Two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — broke from the party and voted against the legislation… [More]

I knew about this Fitzpatrick piece of crap— and his strange hold over Kevin McCarthy. Kean hasn’t been on my radar yet to know what a phony he is:

The National Rifle Association (NRA) Victory Fund gave Tom Kean, Jr. these ratings for the following election cycles: an A+ rating (100 percent) for 2017 and a B rating (67 percent) for 2020.

And speaking of phonies, since when is 67% not a “D” and a 1.0 GPA?
