The Enemy Within

Dolan insisted, “The Second Amendment is not in any way violated by this bill.” [More]

That’s because Dolan is a f***ing liar:

State Senator Matt Dolan, a “moderate Republican,” may as well be a Democrat as far as gun owners are concerned. Described by CNN as a “non-Trump Republican … in the McCain lane, the Romney lane…” Dolan penned an op-ed in support of the state’s proposed STRONG Act, essentially a “red flag” edict that promises due process before gun confiscations without really delivering it, and requires “background checks” on private sales, and adds liability penalties to sellers. And no surprise here, Dolan admits “I understand this bill probably doesn’t go far enough for some and goes too far for others.”

Under Oregon’s Measure 114, ‘Common Sense Gun Safety’ Means Shutting Down Gun Sales

“December 07, 2022 (Wednesday) will be the last day to purchase ANY firearm without a valid Oregon Firearm Purchase Permit.” [More]

The useful idiot dilettante billionaires bankrolling this abomination don’t care whose livelihoods are destroyed or whose rights are usurped as long as this wins them “progressive” accolades for being enlightened and benevolent. It’s not like they have to worry about what “those people” want.

Pay No Attention to That ‘Great Replacement Theory’ Only Conspiracy Nuts Buy Into

“…we’re short of workers. We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome … [and] get a path to citizenship for all 11 million, or however many undocumented there are here.” -Schumer [More]

And more welfare for those who refuse to work and/or are unfit to work due to behavioral choices and the utter failure of the Democrat/union-run “education system”…

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

Medieval Times

A New York City Police Department spokesman told the Washington Examiner that the man entered the building with a sword and ax and asked to “speak with someone in the politics section.” Security denied him, and he handed over his weapons when asked without incident. [More]

Now imagine if he’d been a serious threat. Is Times security up to the task, and if so, isn’t that interesting?

Bust Facts

“That means if you’re in the United States, you live here, you’re born and you spend your life here, your odds of your life ending by murder are one in 179,” the report cited James Agresti, author of the study and president and co-founder of Just Facts as saying. [More]

No, it doesn’t. That just spreads out a much higher probability if you live in an urban Democrat stronghold.

They do that to scare people into demanding “commonsense gun safety laws.”

Taking a Hard Left

Democrats Rally Behind New Yorker Jeffries to Succeed Pelosi as House Leader [More]

Emboldened by the “red wave,” are we?

We’re talking about a “gun sense candidate” who admits background checks are for registration and let (Freudian) slip his inspiration by a communist dictator.

I may just have to do an article as the furor for this totalitarian wannabe heats up…

We’re the Only Ones Hush-Hush Enough

LAPD detective accused of trying to buy silencer online [More]

So if we’re to believe the commies over at the Center for American Progress (and why wouldn’t we?), he “pose[d] a unique risk to public safety”…?

As an aside, that’s a lot of “Only Ones” groups backing infringements. Remember that the next time some “law-abiding” über alles chump tells you “Back the Blue!” with a straight face.

Voting with Their Wallets

Oregon State Police saw a spike in requests for Firearms Instant Check System (FICS) background requests leading up to and especially following the midterm election. [More]

They’d better hurry:

While many assumed that the implementation date would be 30 days after the election was actually “certified” (given that votes were being counted long after Nov 7th) now we are being told the Secretary of State has no plans to wait and the ban of new gun sales and magazines will begin December 8th.

I have an AmmoLand piece on Measure 114 in the publishing queue.

A Common Factor

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Delaware’s recently-adopted ban on so-called “assault weapons” on the grounds the legislation—known as House Bill 450—violates the Second Amendment. [More]

Show me a “commonsense gun safety” bill that doesn’t.

When, Not If

Will the American Empire Collapse in Our Lifetime? [More]

23 years later and I still haven’t had any gun-grabber try to answer my questions:

I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

And Then They Came and They Came

More Than Two Dozen Gun Control Measures Prefiled for 2023 Session of the Texas Legislature [More]

None of them pass the Bruen “historical understanding” benchmark, but that doesn’t matter to the antis, who will never stop because they have the resources and media support to keep coming and coming and coming…

One Big Happy Gun-Free Zone

The Montgomery County Council unanimously approved a bill on Tuesday banning the possession of firearms within 100 yards of a place of public assembly… it bans the possession of firearms in most public places, including “a park; place of worship; school; library; recreational facility; hospital; community health center; long-term facility; or multipurpose exhibition facility, such as a fairgrounds or conference center.” [More]

And we’ve already seen the “good” that does.

But don’t worry. “Only Ones” are exempted.

“[T]he son of immigrant parents,” eh, Gabe? So they figured imposing their native citizen disarmament practiced by those they were fleeing on those taking them in would be just the ticket?

Good thing that has nothing to do with the “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…
