3D Chess by SCOTUS on Bump Stocks?

Is the object to wait for a better case to strip much of the unrestrained rulemaking power away from all federal agencies? [Watch]

Attorney Mark W. Smith speculates on what sounds like a plausible legal scenario and setup, and says don’t abandon all hope on bump stocks. I hope he’s right.

I’ve just heard too many 3D chess claims before.

Like a Good Nachbar

Freeman said the insurance requirement was analogous to some 19th-century laws requiring gun owners to post bond in order to carry a gun. [More]

Ah yes, Licky Liccardo’s law

The antis will try to use Bruen’s “historical understanding” to justify every disarmament edict they can think up. Let unsaid with that approach:

Were those edicts ever challenged on Second Amendment grounds? Because what they won’t find is the Supreme Court upholding such “laws.”

Bullet Points

“Another Backdoor Attempt at Registration” – GOA on Ammunition Background Checks [Watch]

I see the Newsmax hostess is a little uneasy with the prospect of NO prior restraints/confiscation enabling. If they need convincing, imagine the mindset of the general public that has only been exposed to the DSM.

Who are the Democrats and what is the name of the bill?

It would help if there was a corresponding post on GOA’s website identifying it by number and sponsor so we could see what it says and also check Govtrack for a prognosis on odds of enactment and the need to prioritize and spend energy on it now.

Most of the stuff I’m seeing coming from both sides is pre-midterms posturing to spook respective low-information herds.

Survey SAYS…

In the more detailed breakdown of the results, Lott found that the greatest movement in the views of respondents came in the “Strongly Support” and “Strongly Oppose” categories. “Strongly Support” fell by more than half when more specifics about “red flag” laws were included; plummeting from 34% with the first question, to 14% with the more detailed second question. “Strongly Oppose,” meanwhile, climbed from 18% to 29%. [More]

Great. Now, who’s going to tell the public, which gets its disinformation from lying Democrats and the DSM (but I repeat myself) while truths like this are buried, suppressed, demonetized, and ridiculed?

Jonesing for Publicity

Teenagers deserve the right and should be out riding bikes and having fun, playing ball, not dodging bullets. This is my second teen in three or four days. [More]

Maybe the problem isn’t with guns per se, and that opportunistic political whores who encourage poor choices up to and including lawlessness and rioting owe more to their communities than a photo op hospital visit to benefit from the predictable results of his handiwork…?

Return You Will to Old Brazil

‘The police come here to hunt’: Brazilian cops kill at 9 times the rate of U.S. law enforcement [More]

What does that really mean, who are they killing, and what kind of circumstances are we talking about here? And how does that compare with the “good old days”?

Seems kind of self-defeating that Brazilians are poised to oust the guy who wants them armed and bring in a corrupt Marxist who demands disarming them and bringing back an “Only Ones”-enforced monopoly of violence.

It figures the DSM would put out a timely hit piece to help make that happen, with The Los Angeles Times leading the pack.

At this rate, Arizona won’t lead the pack for long.

And my, oh, my, I could swear I’ve been repeatedly told over the years by people with a lot more reach than I have that this is no concern for “single issue” gun groups…

Funny thing–none of them will take the challenge.
