We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

RESOLVED, That the Texas House of Representatives and Senate submit the notification to the federal government, the current presidential administration, and any future administration that any attempt to buyback, confiscate, or register some or all firearms, accessories, and ammunition will not be possible or necessary in the counties of Hunt, Hopkins, Van Zandt, and possibly other counties due to this series of alleged boating accidents. [More]

I was worried about environmentalcases having a fit, but we’ve got precedent courtesy of the “Only Ones.”

I don’t live in Texas so it’s a good thing I never had any guns in the first place. Nasty, evil things always going around killing people…

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Demolish’ Is

Watch Jon Stewart Demolish the Arguments of Republican State Senator That More Guns Make Us Safer: ‘Would a Billion Guns Do It?’ [More]

No, he didn’t.

He made the same old stupid and demonstrably flawed arguments the antis always do, but they’re counting on DSM hacks like Eileen AJ Connelly being biased and ignorant enough to gush over them.

NMSSA Legislative Update 3/1/23

Today’s legislative action got off to a wild start when the governor threatened to hold a special session to focus on gun control if the legislature doesn’t pass her priority bills. [More]

Ask yourself why she wants them this badly, and if getting them will be enough for her.

Getting 2A Back on Track

Plaintiffs in a case supported financially by the Second Amendment Foundation challenging a concealed carry ban on Illinois Public Transportation have filed a memorandum supporting their earlier motion for summary judgment in the case. [More]

Even if they win, you wouldn’t catch me riding the Chi-Town “L.”

Of course, you wouldn’t find me living in Chicago, either.

They’re also more likely to be red-shirted cows, ignorant of what can happen when those they’re enabling decide it’s time to take off the mask.

We’re the Only Ones Unmasking Enough

Police say they’re having trouble identifying suspects who target stores because they’re wearing masks. They are now urging store owners to be proactive in the crime fighting effort. “We are asking the businesses to make this a condition of entry, that people when they come in, they show their face, they should identify themselves,” NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said. [More]

So do we listen to Dr. Fauci or to NYPD “Only Ones”?

Bronx bodega owner Francisco Marte is no stranger to crime. “I’ve been myself, shot three times,” he said. But he says this latest guidance from the NYPD puts business owners in a bad spot. “We don’t have a weapon to defend ourselves,” Marte said.

I think I see a solution, Francisco.

Good thing the brave property liberators exercising their right to steal by beating the old woman within an inch of her life weren’t acting on Asian hate since disadvantaged victims of systemic racism can’t be racist. I can’t begin to tell you how many of my friends and family flaunt their discriminatory power and white privilege by driving late-model Mercedes…

A Bum Sense Candidate

The Squad’s Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), who told detractors to “suck it up” after she was caught using campaign funds to pay for personal security while calling to defund police, has found the love—or leech—of her life. Bush just married Cortney Merritts, who received $60,000 to provide Bush with security in 2022 even though he didn’t have the required license. [More]

So she gets money to spend on personal security?

Why do bodyguards and shady finances so often go hand-in-hand with Moms Demand politicians?

It’s Under Control

St. Louis suspect seen calmly loading gun, shooting homeless man execution style in broad daylight [More]

No worries.

The St. Louis Police Chief is meeting with clergy to “talk about crime” and “the St. Louis safety committee worked with the city police … to spread awareness about gun safety.”

Throw in a tax-funded youth mentoring program or two, and problem solved!

A Waiting Game

“New York has once again adopted a law we believe is unconstitutional, and we’re confident the federal court will bring an end to this nonsense. It’s time for lawmakers in Albany to stop trying to outsmart the U.S. Supreme Court.” [More]

I think what they’re doing is much more insidious than that.

They have tax cows they can milk for legal war chest funds, all the while depleting their victims’ resources to fight back. And they’re counting on extending things in the courts long enough for the Republicans to blow it yet again, so the Democrats can stack the court and reverse Bruen.

NMSSA Legislative Alert 2/28/23

Today, the Governor held a press conference to promote her anti-gun and anti-freedom agenda. But her displeasure at the tabling of SB171 yesterday was noticeable, so she is doubling down on pushing for her slate of anti-gun bills. As a result, two bills were scheduled late today for hearings tomorrow. [More]

Meaning today. Zoom links included.

We Have Some Good News and Some Bad News…

A handful of House and Senate bills are beginning to work their way through the state’s legislative process, as the Ohio Legislature’s 135th General Assembly gets underway. The first three, as currently written, would reduce firearms regulations and expand Second Amendment rights. [More]

And the one after that...?

We’re the Only Ones Exclusive Enough

Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in testifying for SB 150 * stated, “I’m a staunch opponent of open carry. We don’t need open carry in Florida. I don’t think that it serves a good purpose for Florida.” [More]

Because then they’d be able to do what WE do…?

That’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, sheriff…

A Confession or a Boast?

NY 2A Defendant Admits to US Federal Appeals Court that New Gun Law Violates 2A [More]

And he didn’t fall on his knees and beg forgiveness?

UPDATE

I just got the related alert from SAF. It’s not on their News page at this posting, so I copied and pasted the email on my Placeholder site.

Seems the DA didn’t want to be left hanging on defending the indefensible.

Reluctant My… Eye

Old Racist Gun Laws Enter Modern-Day Legal Battles – Government lawyers reluctantly cite historical laws that kept guns from Blacks, Native Americans and Catholics [More]

The only reluctance is in being exposed for what they are. That and admitting that over the citizens they really want to disarm, the Founders intended for them to be powerless to infringe.
