It’s Only ‘Common Sense’

“We’ve modified the decree that allows the possession and carrying of guns,” he continued. “In other words, in general terms … the possession and carrying of guns for civilian use in personal defense is authorized, in accordance with the requirements of law and regulations.” [More]

So I guess all that Everytown/Giffords/Brady sh!+ didn’t work…?

Raising the Bar

Currently, when constitutional amendments are placed on the ballot, it takes only a simple majority (50% plus one vote) to change the constitution. SJR 2 would require any future constitutional amendment to be approved by at least 60% of the voters, whether proposed by initiative petition, by the General Assembly, or by a constitutional convention. [More]

This ought to buy us some time, at least.

But the changes the state is going through have already taken over where I live.

And we know how that ends up.

Who’s Asking?

WaPo: Mass shooting raises controversial question: What’s the Christian thing to do about guns? [More]

That it’s “controversial” is the first lie, but one to set everyone scurrying off in the wrong direction. Shall we consult the “historical understanding” that the Founders accepted?

“He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend [it]self.”

Or we could just listen to more violence monopoly propaganda from the useful idiot rope-selling DSM, in this case from an outlet whose elitist multibillionaire owner profits off of child pornography…

Critical Mas

End Gun Free Zones – Massad Ayoob & the Solution to Stop Mass School Shootings. [Watch]

Yep.

The only point I would presume to add any kind of caveat is on the identities of the killers. We need to know them so that we aren’t entirely dependent on police and media to find out more, especially about their political views, as we’ve seen it become SOP to take down their social media accounts when they don’t fit the narrative profile.

I don’t have a solution except maybe to have some standard of grading media coverage to incentivize not going overboard in rewarding the aberrations with “fame” — and that doesn’t seem likely as the focus with the latest atrocity is on blaming Christians for the latest monster being driven to slaughtering children because of their “intolerance.”

We’re the Only Ones Indemnified Enough

Section 6 – Agreement to Restrictions and to Hold Harmless I accept and assume all responsibility and liability for, injury to, or death of any person, or damage to any property which may result through an act or omission of either the licensee or the agency that issued the license. In the event any claim, suit or action is brought against the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees, by reason of, or in connection with any such act or omission, the licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees from such claim, suit, or action. [More]

That’s one way to scare people off from applying.

Derailing the Training

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Sunday conceded that a federal ban on assault rifles is unlikely because of a lack of congressional support but pushed for lawmakers to consider a bill that would require training before purchasing such a weapon. [More]

It’s past time to let the GOP know that if they expect to keep the voting charade going another year they’d best get their Vichycons under control to stop this in its tracks.

Because the ultimate reality is, Republicans need people who will not disarm more than people who will not disarm need them.

Compare and Contrast

Mr. Holden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is under indictment and Mr. Holden answered no. [More]

Now try:

Mr. Biden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance and Mr. Biden answered no.

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

A New York City parking garage attendant was hit with an attempted murder charge after confronting an armed thief and wrestling the gun away before opening fire on the suspect. Moussa Diarra, 57, is also charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the incident that occurred at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning. [More]

This is what the prohibitionists would have us all reduced to.

With “legally-recognized” criminal possession exceptions, of course.

Funny, how often the racist inequities of that turn up.

UPDATE

DA Alvin Bragg will not prosecute NYC garage worker who shot armed thief [More]

Yeah, now that there are eyes on this and he fears it may affect public sympathies for him in his quest to make a national name for himself in the political persecution of Orange Man.

Why was the poor guy charged in the first damn place?
