Not the Last Rung

Senate Bill 41 containing both repeal of our archaic Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit law and the provision to allow concealed carry in churches which sponsor schools passed the NC Senate today by an overwhelming margin of 29-19. [More]

Now is no time to relax the pressure. In the words of Yogi Berra, it ain’t over ’til it’s over.

Think of What You’re Advocating

Anthony McRae, the gunman who killed three people and wounded five others at Michigan State University on Monday, was arrested in June 2019 and charged with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit. [More]

This is where I depart from all the “gun rights defenders” thinking that should have been enough to keep him in jail. They believe in the Second Amendment but…?

Enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

‘Except as Permitted by State Law’

MSU Students: ‘Allow Us to Defend Ourselves and Carry on Campus’ [More]

What’s stopping them?

“Except as permitted by state law regulating firearms, no person shall possess any firearm or weapon anywhere upon property governed by the Board…”

And what does state law say?

Individuals licensed to carry a concealed pistol by Michigan or another state are prohibited from carrying a concealed pistol or a portable device that uses electro-muscular disruption technology on the following premises… A dormitory or classroom of a community college, college, or university.

‘Gun Sense’ Writ Large

The “embedded tracker” would be required to be fixed to the firearm frame or receiver, emit unique tracking information and not be readily capable of being removed, disabled or destroyed without rendering the firearm inoperable or destroying the frame or receiver. [More]

While we’re at it, why not a shutoff switch?

What about these guys?

This is what these morons are telling themselves is “gun sense“?

A Clear and Present Danger

Chris Cuomo Said, ‘I Was Going to Kill Everybody, Including Myself’ After Firing by CNN [More]

Says the guy who advocated invoking “red flag laws” on Marjorie Taylor Greene…

In the spirit of “If you see something, say something,” I’m thinking a call to Cherokee Indian Police SWAT might be in order…

Hear Your Terms of Surrender Live

On Friday, February 17th, the House Judiciary Committee will be hearing both HB100 and HB101. HB100 would impose a 14 day waiting period for all firearm sales. HB101, would ban the sale of semiautomatic rifles, and .50 caliber rifles and ammunition. Currentl owners of .50 caliber and semiautomatic rifles would have to register them with the state of New Mexico or face criminal charges. [More]

If you have skin in the game, there’s a link to view or testify via Zoom.

Who Needs Foreign Troops When You Have Foreign Voters?

Democrats in the Rhode Island General Assembly have introduced legislation that, if passed, would grant localities the ability to give non-U.S. citizens the right to vote in municipal elections. The measure marks the latest attempt by leftists to give foreigners and, in this case, even illegal immigrants the opportunity to influence the U.S. electoral process. [More]

Just like another place that works just fine.

That means if a municipality votes for citizen disarmament, the invaders have a say. Sure, Rhode Island ostensibly has limited preemption, but use and discharge control by cities means good luck with either, and Democrat control can change that.

And the traitors are Representatives:

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”, right?

Any “gun rights leader” who tells you that is just being politically gutless — or worse — and what’s more, he knows it.

Attempts to Exploit MSU Shootings Run into Inconvenient Truths

Besides, a “gunman” (note the implied pejorative – “Scumbag Murderer” is much more apt) intent on slaughtering human beings is not likely to be deterred by “gun laws,” and this one was no exception. [More]

The killer may not help advance their narrative as much as the gun-grabbers were hoping for.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

A Bill That Would Require Legislators to Know What the Hell They Are Talking About [Watch]

Nah. I see two basic problems:

I don’t want an ignorant enemy to know what they’re talking about because then they’ll be in a better position to anticipate a bill’s vulnerabilities and make it more bulletproof.

Besides, those pulling their strings know exactly what they’re talking about, and that citizen disarmament is not about guns, it’s about control.

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

The move, however, leaves Bill C-21 otherwise intact, and as professor Gary Mauser of Simon Fraser University points out, the bill still bans over a million legally-owned handguns. It also doesn’t prevent the government from reintroducing similar legislation. [More]

As long as they think of it in terms of sport, hunting, and being “law-abiding,” and keep avoiding acknowledging it is an existential right necessary to deter tyrants, the final humiliation will be on the disarmed.
