Notes from the Resistance
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?

NMSSA says “It is absolutely imperative that gun owners speak out on these bills.”

They’re going after the wrong thing. Not that the useful idiots will notice.

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.”

I kept reading through this trying in vain to find something, anything reflecting Founding intent to substantiate that claim.
Then again, I’ve been waiting for over 20 years for one of the lying grabbers to be able to do that.
In a strongly worded letter to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, obtained and reviewed by DrydenWire.com, Sheriff Waak states that he will not take any enforcement action on this rule change “or allow any federal agent to take action against his citizens.”
“I stand ready to defend the rights of honest, law-abiding residents here in Polk County,” Waak states. [More]
Physically?
There’s an interview I didn’t have 42 minutes to watch here. I can’t promise you he’ll answer that question.

Over the last 12 to 18 months, Lowe’s Innovation Labs has been testing out the system which utilizes RFID [Radio Frequency Identity] chips, scanners and blockchain. If implemented, it would render a stolen tool inoperable which would discourage bad actors and in turn, keep employees safe… [More]
Just think of the possibilities for “commonsense gun safety”!

A federal judge on Monday extended an order preventing New Jersey officials from enforcing the state’s sweeping new concealed carry restrictions, dealing another blow to a law championed by gun control advocates, Gov. Phil Murphy and his allies in the Legislature. [More]
And he’d have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for you darned activists!
Ni uno mas! [More]
To be imposed on you under the force of law at the insistence of the newcomers!
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.
“Most counties experience no murders, a smaller set where there are a few murders, and then a tiny set of counties where murders are very common.” [More]
Guns aren’t the problem.

The Oregon Legislative session is rolling on. We are now monitoring about 25 bills that would affect gun owners. As always, the Democrats are hard at work attempting to enable violent criminals and endanger law abiding Oregonians. As an added bonus they are working to pass legislation to allow criminals to vote FROM JAIL. [More]
