We Had No Idea!

“People question, like, why do you need my driver’s license for ammo?” Adamski said. “I’m 70 years old, and why are you taking all this information? So, I mean, people are apprehensive about it. I mean, most people understand it. You know it’s not me, it’s the state. But you know there are some people that are just they don’t know why, it’s so absurd to them.” [More]

Yeah, well, where have they been? And how do they vote?

I honest to God think if I were an FFL and some self-imposed ignoramus asked me that I’d tell him to get the hell out of my store, I’m saving my inventory for those who deserve it.

This is the clueless-by-choice population the antis exploit when they tell us “x% of gun owners support” more infringements.

Immigrant Citizenship Push Confirms what Gun Group Leaders Refuse to Acknowledge

Regardless, while they’re avoiding the issue using a phony “single issue” excuse that ignores the greatest threat to gun owners, the Democrats are pushing toward an unchallengeable majority. They’ll attain supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will be able to pass whatever anti-gun edicts they want and nominate and confirm judges who will uphold them.[More]

So naturally, all the leftwing unions with documented communist ties are loudly behind it while our “gun rights leaders” are afraid to say a word.

A Noted Constitutional Scholar

The second amendment is a collective, not an individual right. Hamilton knew this (see Federalist paper 29) as did the courts for several hundred years. The modern version of the second amendment only exists because of decades of work by the gun lobby to change what 2A meant. [More]

Sure, Hamilton knew people had trades to ply, farms to tend, shops to keep, and to earn the status of “well regulated” and be able to compete with a professional army “would be injurious” due to the time commitment required. Here’s what he thought we should do about that:

“Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large than to have them properly armed and equipped.”

Then they’d bring their weapons of war and muster once or twice a year to practice drill.

“You can disagree with this all you want. I’m entitled to my own opinion as are you,” he asserts in a later tweet.

“You are entitled to your opinion,” Daniel Patrick Moynihan (and no friend of 2A) famously said. “But you are not entitled to your own facts.”

Being ignorant is bad enough. Being arrogant about it is a real stool sample move.

A Democrat for ‘Reasonable Gun Control’

                                 [More]
Things that make you go “Hmmm…”:

Less than a day after asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the stabbing death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German, police executed a search warrant Wednesday at the home of Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles.

UPDATE

Busted!

I got your “reasonable” right here, Rob.

The Truth is Out There

Whatever the subject, when you’ve got the US government claiming on highly suspect grounds that there’s an exponentially growing threat that urgently needs to be addressed militarily, it’s time to sit up and start paying attention. [More]

If I may paraphrase:

If you want to fight against a galactic empire, you need an Imperial Star Destroyer. You need something a little more than an F-15.

The Buyback Menace

In fact, the study said a 7.7% increase in crimes involving a gun occurred in those cities and counties in the immediate two months after a buyback. [More]

The Philadelphia Inquirer Iditorial Board has an about-damn-time epiphany of sorts, then wrings its hands and wails “Something must be done,” all the while clueless as to what that something needs to be.

Could’a Been a Contender

In this video I discuss two important Second Amendment case that are up for Supreme Court consideration next term which could help stop the ATF’s current actions. [Watch]

All SCOTUS needs to do to allow ATF to continue usurping legislative authority is…nothing.

Then, of course, the case could be made that any legislative authority contradicting “shall not be infringed” is a usurpation in itself.

Render Unto Seizure

More than 15K “red flag” gun seizures since 2020, but AP claims the law is “barely used” [More]

Speaking of “barely used,” how about the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

And as long as we’re talking “woefully low” and “too small a pebble to make a ripple,” I wonder if anyone has compiled verifiable figures proving a documented number of saved lives attributable to “red flag” confiscations.

The People Who Don’t Trust US

                           Lewis E. Reed/Facebook

Former St. Louis City Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed and former alderman Jeffrey Boyd plead guilty Friday in a political corruption scandal that shocked the city. [More]

Tell me the photo surprises anybody. I was going to try for two, but it looks like Boyd took his page down.

The Wait is Over?

… Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough issued a preliminary injunction against the Pennsylvania State Police in Firearm Owners Against Crime – Institute for Legal, Legislative and Educational Action, et al. v. PSP Commissioner Evanchick, in relation to its non-compliance with 18 Pa.C.S. 6111.1, by failing to provide instantaneous or otherwise immediate responses to firearm background checks. [More]

Guy looks like more than his hat is too tight…

You gotta wonder what kind of monkey wrenches the state will try to throw into the works before September 12 and what kind of surprises they have planned for after…
