Wait for the ‘All Clear’

Cornell Grad Killed in N.Y.C. Skyscraper Shooting Was Shot After Stepping Out of Panic Room- Julia Hyman, 27, was apparently checking whether the coast was clear when she was shot by Shane Tamura on Monday [More]

Switching to a different case, as sympathetic as I may be to the devastating loss someone like Manuel Oliver suffered, that all takes a back seat in light of his demands that the law render us all equally as helpless in life or death situations as this poor girl.

Someone’s grief is not a claim on our rights. I’m sorry they’ve been driven crazy. But attack me and mine, and motivations don’t matter.

It’s Not Like They’re ‘Arms’ Suitable for Militia Service or Anything…

Machine guns are dangerous weapons that aren’t commonly “possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,” and a law that criminalizes their possession is therefore consistent with the tradition of firearm regulation in the country, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said Thursday. [More]

So… rather than being the cure-all for what ails us, “common use” can be a trap to limit and ultimately render RKBA obsolete?

Who’da thunk?

None Dare Call It Treason

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger took $50,000 from a Chinese businessman tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to campaign finance records. [More]

Hey, she’s just helping them prevent “human rights violations.”

Will VA gun owners stop them?

Bores to Death

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New York Assemblyman Alex Bores (D) said that “it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons.” But “we shouldn’t be in these discussions on the ticky-tacky aspects of the specific guns. We need to be taking action to keep people safe. Exactly where we draw the line on exactly what kind of weapon, we can discuss.” [More]

We’ve seen where that “discussion” ends.

Vichycon Alert

There has been no vote to override Josh Stein’s veto because there are not enough votes in the NC House of Representatives.  One reason for this is the four RINOs which stand in their way and the will of the majority of their constituents. [More]

I’d say some public pressure on @NCGOP is in order…

A Good First Step?

The NFA’s Regulation of Suppressors and Short-Barreled Rifles Violates the Second Amendment [More]

The sick joke is everybody knows that.

Once more I see arguments are long on “common use” and short on “militia,” but I guess we need a point of entry to get this into the interminable appeals cycle and hold it there long enough for Republicans to blow it and communist Democrats to regain power…

Perhaps the strategy is for B0ndi to take a dive…?

Promises to Keep

Army secretary hails ‘heroism’ of soldiers who tackled alleged Fort Stewart shooter: ‘Absolutely saved lives’- Six soldiers put themselves in harm’s way when Sergeant Quornelius Radford allegedly shot five people at Georgia base [More]

And President Trump says “the perpetrator of the shooting at the Fort Stewart military base in Georgia will be ;prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’’’

A question, if it’s not too impertinent:

What happened to noises Trump 1.0 was making seven years ago “to Allow Troops to Carry Personal Weapons on Bases”…?

I hope that merits a more intelligent and responsive MAGA rejoinder than “Would you rather have Kamala?”

A Right Denied

Could tracking denied gun sales help prevent tragedies? Experts think so [More]

And by “experts,” “real reporter” Alison Sherry means billionaire-bankrolled citizen disarmament fanatics like Tom Sullivan.

I may write more on this, because there’s plenty to unpack.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

Anti-Immigrant Fever Among British Patriots Gains Momentum: ‘Send Them Back’ [More]

Yeah, well, you lot didn’t start hanging enforcers bad those who dispatched them when they took away your guns and your knives, and you let them throw your loved ones in the hole over social media posts, so good luck with your subjecters not making note of who to go after when they can cath them alone.
