Without a Custodian

According to court documents, investigators with the Illinois State Police entered a Jack in the Box restaurant in Collinsville in April 2022 to question Ross on an unrelated matter. Ross, who had a gun hidden in his waistband, attempted to hide the firearm under the deep fryer at the restaurant. At the time, Ross was on parole in Missouri for a 2018 robbery conviction. [More]

So he was working an honest job and had behaved himself for four years after the state had declared him safe enough to release back into the community…?

A Silver Lining

Unreleased transcripts from Uvalde show police waited to breach the classroom because the killer had a combat rifle that could penetrate their armor. They we too scared. We are a nation that allows anyone to buy a rifle that can massacre children while keeping the police at bay. [More]

The Danger List

“Californians have the constitutional right to acquire and use state-of-the-art handguns to protect themselves,” he wrote. “They should not be forced to settle for decade-old models of handguns to ensure that they remain safe inside or outside the home.” [More]

But Rob Bonta says it’s still going to be enforced for two weeks until the injunction goes into effect.

You gotta wonder at what point these tyrants can be shown to be premeditatedly abusing the powers of their offices to discriminate against citizens’ rights and be held criminally accountable.

A New York State of Mind

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City heard an argument in 5 Second Amendment/gun rights cases. The three judge panel heard arguments for over 2 hours before recessing. Mark Smith breaks down where he thinks the Second Circuit is going based on the composition of this panel and the questions asked during the argument. [Watch]

The old farts will act like ones and these will need to be kicked up the ladder.

LAPD Introduces ‘Ghost Gun’ Snitch Line in Futile & Dishonest Show of ‘Doing Something’

The horse and pony show press conference is a tacit admission that California gun laws, the ones garnering “A” grades from the prohibition lobby for being the “best” in the land, aren’t working. So the confiscators say they need more. They always will. It will never end until the totalitarian-minded have it all, and then they’ll turn to what they want next from those under their heels. [More]

It’s not like Chief Moore and his oath-breaking boobs have Clue One as to what would really work– or would be allowed to implement it by their Democrat masters if they did.

Curses, Foiled Again!

The Court ORDERS that Defendants and their officers, agents, servants, and employees are enjoined from implementing or enforcing against Polymer80, Inc. or its customers, in any manner, the provisions in 27 C.F.R. § 478.11 and 478.12 that this Court has determined are likely unlawful. [More]

Garland again,

This didn’t age well, did it, Leon?

Tyrants Gonna Tyrannize

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling that struck down a federal law preventing people under domestic violence-related restraining orders from having guns. [More]

Because how better “to secure the Blessings of Liberty” than to deny rights to people who haven’t even been charged with anything, let alone convicted?

JBTs Gonna JBT

The federal government has been using Americans’ income and gun purchases to conduct warrantless tracking and deny Second Amendment rights. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) gave salary estimates to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as the reason to have people’s firearms purchases monitored. [More]

So does that mean IRS is giving them the income data?

No Damns Left to Give

San Francisco District Supervisor Hillary Ronen is “begging” for more police officers in the Mission District. Crime is out of control, and the city absolutely has to do something about it… Hillary Ronen is the one to ask. She led the fight to defund the police, after all. [More]

And lemme guess: Hillary wearing her gangbangers for gun control hat doesn’t want private citizens to be able to defend themselves either.

I’d say her constituents deserve exactly what they voted for. And plenty more of it.

Kick the Can

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a number of improvements in access to mental health care on Thursday to reduce suicides in the military, but held off on endorsing more controversial recommendations to restrict gun and ammunition purchases by young troops, sending them to another panel for study.

Don’t look for the next one to be any less stupid than the first.
