McConnell Instruction to Cornyn Hints Where GOP May ‘Compromise’ on Guns

The devil being in the details, “due process” can mean different things, with not all “hearings” providing the same legal safeguards as a jury trial. And that raises questions of concern that haven’t been spelled out. [More]

Anybody who thinks that this squares with “Shall not be infringed” is nuts.

Speaking of Disenfranchising Millions

Dem Senator Pushes For ATF To Be ‘Beyond The Influence And Grip Of The Gun Lobby’ [Watch]

That would be every one of us who seeks peaceable redress through organizing.

So millions of gun owners won’t have a voice? No more campaigns to petition lawmakers about abuses? And who needs Rules comments?

Think through what this self-serving serial lying maniac is proposing.

And as one NRA member observed

Going for the Gold

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said next week she will bring forward legislation to ban military-style assault weapons, as the chamber moves to address gun violence. [More]

It’s interesting watching how they can’t control their obsession to control.

Looks like a line in the sand to me…

I wonder how many others feel that way.

Cowboys and Indians

If a state passes legislation limiting now extant gun-ownership rights, and that state includes one or more native American Indian reservations where a majority of the registered members remain attached to their traditional gun-ownership rights and they refuse to comply with the new laws …. Do you advocate sending in the U.S. Marshal to make arrests and to seize their guns? [More]

I expect conquered people condemned to government dependency and self-interested tribal power players to continue voting for their oppressors by a landslide.

The Empire State Strikes Back

The bills would raise the minimum age to purchase a semiautomatic rifle to 21 years old from 18, prohibit the purchase of body armor for anyone not eligible (NY tried to ban it last year), require a license to buy a semiautomatic rifle, eliminate grandfathering of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices (otherwise known as extended magazines), strengthen the Red Flag law, and require new pistols to include microstamping technology for tracing. [More]

And when none of those work…

Fitting the Profile

Mass shooters overwhelmingly fit a certain profile, say Jillian Peterson and James Densley, which means it’s possible to ID and treat them before they commit violence. [More]

Fine, but in all their Department of Precrime advocacy, they’re a little light on full due process and still seem trapped in the mindset that passing edicts against tool possession will stop a determined maniac.

Life in the Tardocracy

Jackson Lee: There Was ‘Seismic Increase of Carnage Across America Using Automatic Weapons’ after Assault Weapons Ban Expired [More]

Were they “as heavy as 10 boxes“?

No, of course, it doesn’t have to make sense or be true, and of course, no “fact-checkers” will challenge it. The object is to get it out there influencing the ignorant. That and to induce them to hate you.

A Father/Son Business

Prosecutors: Father, son charged with selling silencers had 105 firearms, 13,800 rounds of ammo at home [More]

Citing those has everything to do with scaring and prejudicing the readers.

Tracing things from the indictment to the guy’s website to his other website to his previous website, it looks like he was doing things because of his beliefs.

In any case, he evidently wasn’t doing things very cautiously if the goal was to get away with them. Here’s what Prince Law has to say about solvent traps.

If you were his customer, I’d be calling a lawyer and determining exposure and vulnerability about now.
