Notes from the Resistance
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and State House Minority Leader Ryan Lane are getting behind a bill together. The bill will be used to stop so-called “straw purchases” of guns…Straw purchases are already banned federally, but the bill would codify it as state law. [More]
“Lane for Liberty” eh, dumbass?

The Gun Violence “War Zone,” Evaluated – Of “lies, damn lies, and statistics,” the anti-gun crowd is defaulting to just plain old lies. [More]
We could prevent a lot of “gun deaths” if we’d only nuke the cities.
Y’know, if Po doesn’t like the gun laws here, she could always go back to Korea…

The coalition of 117 organizations called for the plan to include declaring a national emergency around gun violence, establishing a federal office for gun violence prevention and appointing a full-time director for the effort. [More]
Between them and the usual suspects…
Would trying to disguise Astroturf as grassroots be Assroots?

Are you a North Carolina gun owner? Do you have any friends or relatives who are?
LAPD: No evidence of planned mass shooting by man found with cache of weapons in Hollywood high-rise [More]
A spokeswoman for the department explains.
So the threat was even smaller than his cache?
Still, the ungulates are bleating sighs of relief.

Black people in the US are devastated by gun violence at a disproportionate rate, largely due to systemic inequities and generations of racial discrimination. [More]
Would it be out of line to ask who’s doing the devastating?
The question presented in this case is not whether prohibiting the
possession of firearms by someone subject to a domestic violence restraining order is a laudable policy goal. The question is whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), a specific statute that does so, is constitutional under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. In the light of N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022), it is not. [More]
If only there were a better way…
“Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a fourth degree felony.” [More]
“Any person” would seem to include any person traversing the state on these interstates.
But don’t worry. Any person will be protected as a traverser. Maybe.
For this and other “concessions” on illegitimate claims against our birthrights “we” accepted the “voice vote” Hughes Amendment…?
Does any person doubt it will pass?

UPDATE
Gun and Magazine Ban Bills Scheduled for Committee Hearings [More]
NMSSA says “It is absolutely imperative that gun owners speak out on these bills.”
To paraphrase Democrat strategist James Carville’s slogan about the economy, it’s the criminals, stupid. [More]
They’re going after the wrong thing. Not that the useful idiots will notice.

Unlike the grabbers, they’re not:
Cincinnati takes a swing at gun reform with a lawsuit and new ordinances [More]
And why not? They see Columbus getting away with defying state preemption law with impunity.

The report comes as the nation grapples with a rise in violent crime, particularly from
gunsDemocrat jurisdictions. [More]
Attributing increases to the recent rise in gun sales is a repackaging of the trick they tried to do to blame things on the pandemic. As I noted a few months back:
In order for pandemic-related sales to significantly move statistics, the transference from the “legal” to the “illegal” market would need to be almost instantaneous, when in fact, ATF time-to-crime (“the amount of time between the retail sale of a firearm by a federal firearms licensee (FFL) and its recovery by law enforcement”) statistics show a national average period for 2021 of 6.21 years.
Not that we should expect either the Bureau or the Associated Press to factor that into their public consumption “conclusions.”
