Anti-Gunners Should be Careful What They Wish For

Ah! The understanding at the time was that parents would have a say in what their dependent children could or could not do! So, according to this, there were no Founding-era laws saying a boy or girl couldn’t have a gun if the adults raising them wanted them to. [More]

Remove predators from society and leave our guns and our children alone? The parasites, control freaks, and groomers aren’t gonna like that one bit…

Just Like the Founders Intended

Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation and its allies have filed a brief supporting their earlier motion for summary judgment in a federal challenge of Illinois’ ban on concealed carry by young adults in a case known as Meyer v. Raoul. [More]

Remember all those laws from the Founding era making it a crime for 18-20-year-olds to have a gun?

Me neither.

Standing Room Only

Judge Claims “Lack of Standing” in Second Amendment Public Transportation Case … In effect, Judge Moss is stating a plaintiff will need to be arrested for violating the District of Columbia’s ban on carrying concealed weapons in order to challenge the ban. [More]

New York State of Mind

The State of New York is Still Fighting the Bruen Decision [More]

Herschel brings us up to date on Antonyuk v Satan’s Minions, including New York’s insulting brief and Stephen Stamboulieh’s authoritative response.

I have to find out what SCOTUS’s options are for slapping inferiors defying hierarchical precedent down.

An Age-Old Question

Transage Activists Now Claim “Age Is A Social Construct,” Just Like We Predicted Would Happen [More]

Perhaps we can make lemonades out of lemons– I have long advocated for giving young people development-appropriate gun training, as opposed to “age-appropriate.” Maybe this can be exploited against those obnoxious and unconstitutional edicts saying you have to be 21 to buy the firearm of your choice.

Except I bet if you asked transage proponents, they’d tell you no age is appropriate. More likely, they just want to diddle with kids.

Now wait for Phase Two: Age is racist.

There’s Nothing New about California Republicans ‘Snubbing’ Gun Owners

So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]

What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?

Hatchet Job

The Supreme Court May Kick Off 2023 With a Huge Gun Rights Ruling – Without oral argument or full briefing, the case could take a hatchet to New York’s new concealed carry law—and countless more nationwide. [More]

So why does Mark Joseph Stern have his panties in a wad?

Oh…

Muster Call

A federal lawsuit supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition has been filed in New York, challenging that state’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]

I’ve been arguing not to forget “core purpose” in 2A actions, so I find this a good add:

The firearms at issue in this case are the sorts of bearable arms in common use for lawful purposes that law-abiding people possess at home by the millions. And they are, moreover, exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty, should such be necessary.

The Stupid… It Burns…

Read Second Amendment Literally: Ban Making and Selling Guns [More]

I know ad hominem attacks are a logical fallacy, but the stunning ignorance on display here, beginning with the presumption that the Bill of Rights defines what citizens “may” do, makes it OK to dismiss this writer and those oxymoronic “true liberals” swallowing his pseudointellectual bilge as fools.

It’s certainly not worth anybody’s time to try and engage in debate with them.

Totally Unsurprisingly, Brazil Begins Gun Bans Ahead of Lula Inauguration

In the meantime, returning to the leftist playbook, look for Brazilians who question the election and defy tyrannical disarmament to be attacked and marginalized as extremists, criminals, racists, and “deplorables,” just like here. And just like here, they’re picking a fight to the finish with people who are proud of their heritage, vested in freedom, and not likely to grovelingly surrender their birthrights to their moral inferiors. [More]

History repeats itself. And in more ways than one.
