It Could Be Stronger

Good opening statement. Now tell the rulers of cities and states doing this that their gun confiscation enforcers can get theirs from somebody else.

Stop 114

The measure essentially ends the sale of all firearms in Oregon for the foreseeable future and bans the sales of most shotguns and all standard capacity magazines forever. Possession of those items outside your home will be a criminal offense. If you are caught in possession of a standard capacity magazine INSIDE your home you will be required to prove that you had it before the law went into effect. There will be no presumption of innocence. [More]

If you’re an Oregon gun owner, consider this a muster call willingness test.

A Means to an End

A Minnesota Federal District judge defies the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision by applying “means-end scrutiny” and “narrow tailoring” to a case involving banning firearms at the Minnesota State Fair. [More]

He knows he can get away with it, hence giving SCOTUS and all gun owners the finger. If the Repubs don’t blow the “red wave,” they’ll have enough of a majority in the House to impeach, but not the 2/3 needed in the Senate to convict.

Naturally, the “progressive” Brennan Center says “if the impeach­ment power is used to punish judges for their rulings, it under­mines the vital inde­pend­ence of our judi­cial branch.”

Well, Clinton appointee Tunheim already did that by ignoring the High Court’s precedent and deferring to political interests. And, as with all things leftist, it depends on who’s doing the impeaching.

A Real Red Flag

“Governor Hochul made the announcement in Suffolk County where the County Sheriff’s Office is reporting a more than 75 percent increase in utilization of the Red Flag Law over the last three months.” [More]

And, of course, they’ll be prepared to handle the increased caseload to preclude drawn-out delays with rights denied…? I wonder if anyone will be keeping track of people caught up in the net being victimized…

Take the guns first, due process second,” Mr. President?

Funny Peculiar

“It may be funny to you motherf—er, but it’s not funny to me”: Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke snapped at a man during a town hall on Wednesday who started laughing as O’Rourke discussed the gun used in the deadly Uvalde mass shooting. [More]

He was laughing at the bald-faced disprovable lies, not that Beto’s idiot supporters who cheered him on have the wits to realize that’s what he was doing.

Speaking of which, have I mentioned these idiots lately?

Thank Your Republican Leadership!

A manufacturer of untraceable “ghost guns” has been ordered to pay D.C. $4 million as part of a legal settlement that will also prohibit it from selling any guns to city residents in the future. [More]

Left unsaid is that Ebony Scott is a leftist tool confirmed with the help of Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Roy Blunt, Shelley Capito, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, and Thom Tillis.

And yes, we could come up with damning links on all of them.

What Did They Think was Going to Happen?

Outraged New Zealanders are planning major anti-government protests in coming weeks in response to the Ardern government’s handling of the pandemic, which after two long years of drastic policies, failed to keep the virus out, with the public now feeling the economic fallout. [More]

Yeah, well, until they’re outraged over her taking their guns, I gotta go with Tommy Lee on this.

A Tempered Victory

…Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced a victory in its Campos v. Bonta lawsuit, which challenged policies and practices of California Attorney General Rob Bonta and his Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Firearms that delayed firearm transactions beyond the statutory 10-day waiting period absent a legal basis. [More]

Who thinks these guys wait 10 days?

More Than a Feeling

“So, yes, I understand the Second Amendment. I understand, you know, bearing arms, but we also need to make sure that we can ensure that folks feel safe in their communities.” [More]

Feelings. Nothing more than feelings.

Seeing as how the ones doing the killings aren’t eligible to take advantage of the open carry law, I don’t suppose there are any, you know, individual choices your congregants could make that would have more of an effect…?

And that’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, pastor.

File This Under ‘WTF?’

Hospital employee arrested after 39 guns, ammo found in office closet [More]

I can’t really find anything about the guy aside from this story, but the bottom line from what’s been reported is he’s facing years in prison, he hasn’t hurt anybody, and if the stuff was his, unless and until he abuses others with it, it’s his birthright to have

Could be he’s a lunatic. Without due process before disarmament, we can’t legitimately tell.  And New Jersey “Only Ones” aren’t exactly the benchmark to use…

Shall Not Be Infringed EXCEPT

The Biden Administration Defends the Federal Ban on Gun Possession by Medical Marijuana Users [More]

What about crack smokers?

So when will Nikki Fried be prosecuted?

And, since they cite the historical precedents, when will the confiscation raids to disarm Indians and Catholics begin? They do realize both groups mostly vote Democrat?
