Speaking of Serious Misfires

The Supreme Court’s gun ruling is a serious misfire [More]

This from a Vichycon stooge who advocates:

Gun control advocates who want to square their policy preferences with the Constitution should squarely face the need to deconstitutionalize the subject by repealing the embarrassing amendment.

Republicans Better Off Losing by Landslide

Funny he should mention “The Second Amendment is the only one in the Bill of Rights with a preamble” without acknowledging the Bill of Rights itself has a Preamble that makes clear what Founding intent was:

“THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

It has “restrictive clauses” against the government.

Some Good News and Some Bad News

California Attorney General says “effective immediately, issuing authorities should no longer require proof of good cause for the issuance of a public-carry license.” [More]

These weasels always have big “buts”:

Don’t “Back the blue” or ATF or…? So much for “respect for the law.” How is being against fetus butchering or drag queen story hour for preschoolers “respect[ful] for the rights of others? If you’re against “sanctuary” for illegals (hell, if you even call them “illegals”) or “critical race theory” school curricula, and BLM Marxists, how is that an “absence of racism”? Plus, we all know anyone smeared as a “white nationalist extremist Nazi” is the greatest threat to “our democracy.” Just ask the U.S. Department of Justice!

Page 3 shows all the arbitrary and politically -exploitable “good moral character” outs they’re sending signals to impose, so look for delays and denials that will take more drawn-out court cases to wrangle out.

I wouldn’t be calling the “Supreme Court victory” a slam dunk just yet. If there’s one thing leftists are good at, it’s weaponizing the law against their enemies while ignoring it themselves.

Finishing the Sentence

“We respectfully disagree with the Court’s conclusion that the Second Amendment forbids New York’s reasonable requirement that individuals seeking to carry a concealed handgun must show that they need to do so for self-defense. The Department of Justice remains committed to saving innocent lives by enforcing and defending federal firearms laws, partnering with state, local and tribal authorities and using all legally available tools to tackle the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our communities… [More]

… by sending militarized masked jackbooted thugs to terrorize and attack into submission or destroy any citizen (including his family) who doesn’t surrender and obey us.  Now.

Names That Should Live in Infamy

The Republicans who joined Democrats in voting for the bill were Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Todd Young of Indiana, and Roy Blunt of Missouri. [More]

Of these, two [three] are retiring and the only one who needs to run for reelection now is Murkowski, who also voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial and to confirm Biden pick Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

We’ve talked about her before — plenty. I believe she will make a perfect object lesson to defeat, provided a sufficient number of gun owners want to actually do something about it instead of standing there and bleeding.

Meanwhile, well-heeled Stupid Party Vichycon luminaries think it’s a smart idea to rub the betrayal in our faces before the presumed “red wave.”

We’re the Ony Ones Retreating Enough

Mayor Adams, NYPD already retreating from solo patrol plan in transit system after cop’s assault in Brooklyn: Exclusive [More]

While unarmed citizens have to travel solo at all hours with no “Only Ones” in sight.

I need to stop being amazed that absolute incompetents can rise to positions of political power and public prestige in this country, sometimes with a boost from surprising quarters.

And sometimes with a boost from the usual suspects turning a selective blind eye.
