The Servants Have Spoken

In response to a question of whether the people decide subjectively what they deem appropriate for self-defense, New Jersey argued that “the people” through their representatives decide what is unusually dangerous based on their perception of “objective characteristics.” As one judge suggested, since all firearms are dangerous under the alleged dangerous-or-unusual test, no limit would exist on what the legislature may choose to ban, despite what the people choose. [More]

Look at all the contortions these robed Democrats go through to obfuscate the unambiguous clarity of “shall not be infringed.”

How many horses and hounds may I keep, again…?

Major Victory!

Today, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation and the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Virginia’s universal background check law (Virginia Code Section 18.2-308.2:5) in the case of Wilson v. Hanley. [More]

Yeah… except:

I mean, yeah, take the win. But I think we have different definitions “major.”

A Forward Progression

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in support of a proposed rights restoration rule. [More]

They raise a good point:

However, there are some aspects of the Proposed Rule which do not go far enough. As courts have confirmed, the main requirement for disarming Americans—what must be present before they may be disenfranchised from their Second Amendment rights—is ongoing dangerousness.

You know how I feel about ongoing dangerousness.

Sounds Like a Predetermined Outcome to Me

Justices agree to review federal law banning drug users from possessing guns [More]

I see the Trump/Bondi DOJ is selectively defending infringements again.

Could there be a less sympathetic defendant than “a dual citizen of the United States and Pakistan, who was indicted in 2023 on a single count of violating the guns-and-drugs law after the FBI found a 9mm pistol, 60 grams of marijuana, and 4.7 grams of cocaine at his family home” ?

Am I wrong to suspect a way to erode the text, history, and tradition standard and guarantee bad precedent with a case centered on what would have been pretty much an anachronism at the time of the founding?

Two-Point Conversion

But that didn’t stop anti-gun D.C. police from slapping the cuffs on Avissar. Why? Because he had a completely legal trigger in his suitcase — and made the mistake of calling it a “conversion device” when questioned. [More]

  1. How is any gun owner deep enough into the weeds to own an FRT oblivious to the first rule of Gun Club?
  2. And when talking to Texas Gun Rights, why no mention of Silver Eagle? Did they tell him something they won’t tell me?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Permanent’ Is

Today, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation and the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Virginia’s universal background check law (Virginia Code Section 18.2-308.2:5) in the case of Wilson v. Hanley. [More]

So it won’t be appealed to the State Supreme Court, and no petition to SCOTUS if they lose there?

On a Sauer Note

New Jersey Attorney General Platkin (D) filed a complaint against SIG SAUER, making numerous false and unsubstantiated claims about the P320. This false information requires immediate clarification and remedy. [More]

New Jersey Democrats don’t care about safe guns– they just want to destroy the company.

Sig is riding the tiger, holding on for dear life, knowing what will happen if they’re thrown.

Don’t look for Garden State “Only Ones” suppliers Glock, Benelli, and Colt to act like their turn in the barrel might be next. And just what the hell is an “enhanced patrol rifle,” and how does that differ from a “weapon of war designed to quickly kill as many people as possible”?

Schooling the Collectivists

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a new lawsuit in New Hampshire challenging the unconstitutional search of an 18-year-old high school senior’s vehicle, based solely on the knowledge that he is a legal gun owner. [More]

I see the cowardly bullies and would-be tyrants have limited who can post Facebook comments.

Feel the Bern

With complete republican control in Ohio, there is no excuse for the lack of pro-gun wins in 2025, so let your elected officials know you are displeased with their lack of support for the Second Amendment. [More]

I see it made quite the impression:

Gee, who would’a suspected he’d turn out to be a Vichycon weasel?

Thing is, it looks like the GOA email tool automatically sent a state bill inquiry to a U.S. senator.

You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet!

GOA says “Yikes!”

It’s all part of that bipolarity we’ve been talking about.

Fortunately, there’s a cure. We’ve even got the legal wrangles and alternatives figured out.

Except none of the rice bowl groups want to play. They say they have their own contacts, and apparently perceived exclusivity if their priority. Except that means things get done in secret with our rights that we may not agree with– as has happened before and will happen again — and the bipolar disappointments and flat-out reneging and betrayals will continue, the groups will continue to walk on eggshells so no administration feathers are ruffled, and popular 2A cheerleaders will convince a critical mass that it’s not only a good thing, but masterful 3D chess.

Mass. Hysteria

Three people were hospitalized after they were injured Saturday afternoon in a shooting in Mattapan, according to Boston police. [More]

Huh. We were just talking Boston and the Massachusetts Democrats who won’t let you defend yourself.

So why won’t the purveyors of “our democracy” let the people vote on that? And now Orwellian is “protect[ing] Mass. gun laws from upcoming ballot question” as opposed to protecting the right of citizens to vote on their own safety?

Looks like the violence monopolists succeeded– the measure didn’t make the list.
