A Certain Appeal

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Defendants Merrick Garland, in his official capacity as Attorney General of the United States; Steven Dettelbach, in his official capacity as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); the United States Department of Justice; and ATF hereby appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit from the Court’s Opinion & Order on Scope of Preliminary Injunction entered on October 1, 2022… [More]

Of course they’re not giving up on unconstitutionally claiming authority to impose frame or receiver infringements. They enjoy unlimited resources.

FPC has the entire case with filings and orders indexed for us.

We’re the Only Ones Victorious Enough

Nearly a dozen guns taken off Austin streets in Gun Surrender Program [More]

That’s pathetic when you can’t just say “11” and have to blow it up by one.

Nice of the moronic “Only Ones” functionary to admit “buybacks don’t work.”

Besides, “surrender” makes them sound so much more awe-inspiring. And it’s closer to what government has in mind anyway.

If I Had a Hammer

Can we take a moment to appreciate how the “YOU DONT NEED A GUN TO STOP A HOME INVASION” folks literally had a home invader wrestle their own hammer off them to use against them. [More]

You’ll forgive me if I automatically don’t stipulate that he was a “home invader.”

UPDATE

See, why are there questions?

Conversion ‘Therapy’

Rand says ATF should consider using its authority to reclassify certain types of firearms that are easily converted into fully automatic weapons, similar to what they did in the 1980s with the KG-9 and the MAC-10. Lots of firearms besides Glocks also are “readily convertible” into machine guns by using tools to reconfigure them or adding parts, she said. [More]

Like VPC has been signaling everyone since 1988:

The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.

Anybody out there still foolish enough to believe the bump stock ban was about bump stocks?

Return I Will to Old Brazil

Brazilian president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva calls for ‘peace and unity’ after beating far-Right rival Jair Bolsonaro in knife-edge election that split the nation after millions cast their votes… but will the ‘Trump of the Tropics’ concede defeat? [More]

More to the point, will Brazilians who know better turn in their guns?

UPDATE

There may be more truth to that “Trump of the Tropics” reference than “progressives” care to admit.

Desperation Move

In papers filed with the 4th Circuit Thursday, Frost said several states restricted bowie knives between those years due to the “uniquely harmful damage” they could inflict on the human body. [More]

“Restricted” past tense…? And how many of those laws were challenged and upheld by the Supreme Court?

Weapons of war are our birthright, Frosh. You know that.

Which makes questioning your character and loyalties more than fair game.

The Guttenberg Press

Gun Safety advocate Fred Guttenberg calls Josh Hawley ‘a liar’ [Watch]

The first lie is that Fred advocates for gun safety. He advocates for citizen disarmament, and the MSNBC apparatchick daughter of a South Korean refugee welcomed into this country to enjoy its Constitutionally-mandated recognition of freedoms is overtly part of the team now undermining them.

It’s helpful seeing Fred take the mask off though and resort to logically fallacious ad hominem attacks. It puts the lie to his insistence with his 97percent partners that they’re all about dialog and coming together with gun owners. (And guess who else partners with them.)

I’m sorry for his horrible and unimaginable loss, but it’s not my fault. My natural human sympathy does not mean I will remain passive when he and other surviving family members attack my right to protect myself and my loved ones.

There Oughta be a Law!

Police: FBI background check blocked gun sale to accused St. Louis school shooter [More]

Another “Gotcha!” for the blood dancers?

Lost in the furious outrage being ginned up to demand more disarmament edicts is the fact that none of the Democrat constituents responsible for the day-in-day-out carnage would have passed a background check either.

Just Think of Them as Commonsense Global Arms Safety Laws

State Department working to prevent US weaponry in Ukraine from falling into the black market [More]

Like the government did in Afghanistan or like the government does here?

I’m just waiting for some to turn up at crime scenes in Mexico…

And don’t State and Ned Price have more important things to think about?
