Just Singin’ and Dancin’ in the Blood

Within hours of police arresting a suspect in the fatal shooting of three University of Virginia football players, the White House called for an assault weapons ban even though the suspect was alleged to have used a handgun in the killings. [More]

It’s not like anyone ignorant enough to vote for them will know.

Playing Hobbs

Hobbs wins Arizona governor’s race, flipping state for Dems [More]

Yeah, about that:

In addition to Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona is pretty much now ruled by the high population center Democrat strongholds.

Funny… I don’t see “More Freedom” in any of the reasons the nest foulers give for moving there.

Stopping 114

We are all in on this fight. Oregon Firearms Educational Foundation will use every resource at our disposal to overturn this mean spirited, evil attack on our rights in court. Period. But we have to act fast to save the many small businesses that the “people of faith” in Portland have been working to destroy. [More]

I’ll be working this afternoon on an article about this.

Taking Stock

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away another challenge to a federal ban imposed under former President Donald Trump on devices called “bump stocks” that enable a semi-automatic weapon to fire like a machine gun. The justices declined to review an appeal by a group of firearms dealers and individuals in Minnesota, Texas and Kentucky after a lower court rejected their argument that the government had violated the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment “takings clause” by effectively taking their private property without just compensation. [More]

As noted before, all the High Court needs to do to let tyranny stand is…nothing.

And thanks again, Donald.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

And after engaging with this Nation’s tradition of firearm regulations several times already, the Court’s unanswered question is whether Bruen demands lower courts manicure the Second Amendment’s landscape by scalpel or chainsaw….As a result, the Court holds that § 922(g)(8) is unconstitutional under Bruen’s framework. It is therefore ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Indictment be GRANTED. [More]

This

Read the opinion. Wow!

Expect a challenge from Team Tyranny, because otherwise, their whole damn Gordian knot will unravel.

Speaking of ‘Every Terrible Implement’…

Large-capacity magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not essential to the use of firearms… Additionally, large-capacity magazines are not protected “arms” because they are not commonly used for self-defense. [More]

Since that directly follows an “Overview of Bruen’s text-and-history standard for analyzing Second Amendment claims,” I wonder what Tench would say to that…?

Legal weasel Rob Bonta proves the point that if you limit arguments to “self-defense” and ignore core purpose, you’re not using every means at your disposal.

Can We All Get Along?

🚨 Breaking News 🚨

We are proud to announce that North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper will be our keynote speaker for our 2nd Annual Summit, “What’s Next? An Innovative Approach to Reducing Gun-Related Deaths” taking place virtually on November 17. 

“Reducing gun violence will take all of us coming together to find common ground to save lives,” says Governor Cooper. “I’m excited to discuss what’s happening in North Carolina with a bipartisan gun safety group like 97Percent who is bringing innovative solutions to reducing gun violence to the national conversation.”

You know, the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.

I wonder if Roy will tell us what he likes about Jim Crow…?

Joe Walsh, Rob Pincus, and Amy Swearer are joining in to “legitimize” the show and demonstrate how “fair-minded” those paying for it are…

Everybody’s looking at the inclusion of Steven Gutowski into the mainstream discourse as a positive, and I hope he uses the elevated platform to the best effect possible, but I also believe there’s something in it for “them” in terms of the direction of the discourse.

What we’re seeing here is something I’ve warned about– all our “gun rights influencers” gushing over all the new gun owners without considering whether or not any votes have been changed…

The antis are picking a lot of them up just as surely as they’ve done with a lot of Fudds.

There I go vilifying by pointing out an obvious divide-and-conquer strategy again.

Doubling Down

So, I’m not going to change — as a matter of fact, you know there’s some things I want to change and add to. For example, we had — passed the most bipartisan, we passed the most extensive gun legislation, anti- — you know, rational gun policy in 30 years. And — but we didn’t ban assault weapons. I’m going to ban assault weapons. They’re going to try like the devil [More]

Flesh out what confiscating them will look like, Joe.

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

Stranger in a Strange Land

I used to call it “home,” but “thanks” to “redistricting,” that home is now in the solidly Democrat 13th Congressional District instead of the solidly Republican 14th, as the demographics in each show.

I used to complain about Dave Joyce being a GOP lump. At least he’s not a “rising star” like Emilia Sykes, whose Congressional Black Caucus-sponsored ads relied heavily on accusations of Republicans being “white supremacists trying to steal our votes.”

“Taxation without representation” used to be a call for resistance. I’m taxed up the wazoo and it’s certainly not me she’s representing.
