The fight against California’s 11% firearm tax (AB 28) is facing roadblocks in the James v. Mederos lawsuit. The state is delaying the case with legal technicalities, forcing gun dealers to continue paying this unconstitutional tax. [Watch]
Well, yeah. They’re Democrats.
Question: Why is no one bellyaching about Pittman-Robertson, especially with all those anti-freedom Fudds throwing the rest of us under the bus?
In an interview with the Los Angeles Airport Peace officer’s association on Nov 11, 2021, LA county Sheriff Alex Villanueva Said if he could he would ban the sale of all Semi-Automatic rifles with detachable magazines.
Since the day I took office, the NYPD has seized more than 21,400 illegal firearms — and last week, I was able to help send many of these confiscated weapons to their final destination — a wood chipper that destroyed these guns so they can never be used to cause harm again. [More]
Mayor John Whitmire has finalized a contract agreement with the Houston Police Officers’ Union to raise the salary of first-year police officers to $81,000. The agreement, which also includes expanded benefits, will make Houston’s 5,200 police officers the highest-paid in Texas. Previously, officers’ first-year salary was set around $60,000. [More]
That’s a heck of a raise. When’s the last time a private company offered you that kind of increase?
And since this is WarOnGuns, we might ask how Whitmire is on our issue.
As I spend time in Honolulu – I am urging colleagues in the healthcare field and residents of the islands to call their lawmakers and urge their support for SB 401. pic.twitter.com/ojRdoJ9pTj
You’ve got certifications that establish your credentials and qualifications to diagnose and prescribe in this field, don’t you, Annie? Otherwise, aren’t you abusing your medical accreditation to assume false authority, isn’t that flat-out malpractice, and doesn’t that make you a fraud?
But Howland told Action News Jax he’s learned that same month, private security guards working the entrance of two city buildings allegedly began keeping a list of people who entered with firearms. He claimed those alleged lists were kept at both City Hall and the Yates Building, which houses the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser’s Offices. “They were asked to document their first name, last name, contact information and the type of firearm they were carrying,” said Howland. Florida law prohibits the creation of lists of gun owners. [More]
“It’s time to kill him. This moment is why the Second Amendment exist,” he declared in another.” [More]
So, just what was he demanding from all the Demanding Moms who endorsed him, and who evidently believe “gun violence” is just fine against their political enemies?
Colorado Republicans Ask AG Bondi to Utilize New Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force to Investigate ‘2A Infringements’ Happening in the State [More]
On the same day House Democrats voted against HB 318, the Criminal Illegal Alien Enforcement Act — two illegal immigrants, armed with guns, invaded a Garner, NC home, demanding $1,000,000. When refused, they bound the husband, abducting his wife and infant daughter.
Stephen Stamboulieh brings us some good news about Pam Bondi and DOJ doing something necessary and good by filing a brief in support of the Second Amendment, noting Hawaii trying to ban guns on private property without specific owner permnission effectively equates to a gun ban practically everywhere. This is a hopeful sign and we need to see more like this.
The challenge is another example of great legal navigation and piloting by Alan Beck.
As an aside, this is how “guntubing” ought to be, a subject matter authority articuately sharing knowledge and guidance, as opposed to mansplaining the work of others for clicks.
And pay attention to this, @ 7:15 in:
The Ninth Circuit needs to be broken up as a court. It’s too big, it’s way too powerful, and it does some really stupid things that we’re going to talk about in my 7 o’clock live tonight where I just lost $400,000 in that case.
But it’s not like there’s a powerful “gun lobby” in Hawaii. It sounds more like Joy Buenaventura and a few others got the law laid down to them by some consituents who have a vested interest in keeping theirs.

Don’t go celebrating the workaround just yet.
Another lawsuit and another injunction and we’re back to Square One. And if “common use” is the new standard, I wouldn’t be looking at “uncommon tools” as a solution.
The gun industry could face civil damages for the misuse of firearms in limited circumstances in Connecticut under product liability legislation passed by the House and sent to the Senate on Wednesday. Passage of House Bill 7042 came on a largely party-line vote of 100 to 46 in the House, where Democrats have a 102-49 majority. Five Democrats were opposed and five Republicans in favor. [More]
With “Republicans” like these, who needs Democrats?
The five Republicans in favor were Chris Aniskovich of Clinton, Devin Carney of Old Saybrook, Tina Courpas of Greenwich, Tom Delnicki of South Windsor and Tracy Marra of Darien.
Are your guns about to be banned? The federal government is pushing the GOSAFE Act, the BUMP Act, and the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025—and together, they represent the biggest threat to the Second Amendment we’ve seen in years.
