Fetterman Aide Unwittingly Refutes ‘No One Wants to Take Your Guns’ Lie

Fetterman’s own public statements show his aide understands his position well. [More]

The end game is a monopoly of violence. Anyone who tries to tell you differently is a useful idiot, a damned liar, or both.

The Nutty Professors

Five University System of Georgia (“USG”) professors filed suit to block a 2017 statutory amendment that removed public colleges and other public postsecondary educational institutions from the statutory definition of “school safety zone.” [More]

I’m wondering which fields in academia don’t require being an obnoxiously self-righteous leftist moron to get tenure.

Playing the Brace Card

GOA, GOF, STATE OF TEXAS SECURE PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST BIDEN PISTOL BRACE BAN [More]

And:

FEDERAL JUDGE CLARIFIES SAF MEMBERS PROTECTED BY PISTOL BRACE INJUNCTION [More]

It looks like everybody’s members are covered, just like FPC’s.

Anybody up on what’s going on with NRA’s action?

UPDATE

Here’s the GOA Order:

‘In Common Use’ Can Ultimately be Used to Make the Second Amendment a Moot Point

Because what was in common use in the past is not what is in common use today, nor what will be in common use tomorrow. At least by the military and by law enforcement. [More]

Withhold technological developments from We the People based on “common use” and at what point in the future does planned obsolescence kick in? Also, as an aside, I don’t know why the editors replaced my photo with one that’s irrelevant to the topic and the caption I wrote.

Up in Smoke

Regardless of the recent changes in Minnesota law related to marijuana, an individual who is a current user of marijuana is prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition. [More]

It’s not like the prohibition affects anyone important.

Besides, Fudd Sense Candidate Tim Walz is fine with that.

Ransom Paid

Polymer80, the nation’s largest producer of at-home gun assembly kits — sometimes called “ghost guns” because they typically come without serial numbers and are impossible to trace — agreed to pay $5 million in penalties to settle a civil suit, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office. [More]

Now look for every other shark out there to smell blood in the water.

I ran out of time today– here are some tips from Bondmen that I just couldn’t do individual posts with commentary for:

Gaslighting with Joe

Hogsett plans to go before the City-County Council and propose a ban on semi-automatic weapons and ending permitless carry in Indianapolis. [More]

No doubt inspired by last month’s non-bloodbath, where almost 80,000 gun owners proved that being simultaneously armed and peaceable is no problem for anyone smarter and more moral than a Hogsett supporter.

It’s Not About Guns

New research shows the death rate among young people from gun violence rose with the increasing level of social vulnerability within the communities where the incidents occurred, regardless of whether a state’s gun laws were more permissive or restrictive. [More]

You don’t say.

“Gun laws alone” implies they’ll work in tandem with other centralized collectivist controls, which will only make everything worse.

“Social vulnerability” implies that personal failures are due to “systemic injustices” of a society with expectations for individual responsibility and accountability with commensurate incentives and deterrents, rather than the predictable and inevitable outcome of collectivist subsidizing of poor decision-making.
