We’re the Only Ones Pro-Gun Enough

From an email conversation I was having about cops, oaths, and pensions with Hershchel:

I had a similar experience with a “pro gun cop” who claimed to support 2A that I had been corresponding with a while back–

I asked him – since he knew who I was and knew I would not do anything criminal with it – if asked if I let him know I was peaceably carrying concealed and did not have a permit because it is my right to bear arms, would he arrest me?

After hemming and hawing and excuse making, I finally got him to admit he would “have to” enforce the law.

I recall writing this up on the old blog– perhaps even having the conversation in comments under a post — but it’s been years and I don’t have time to try and find it, assuming I even could…

No Supply Demand

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses HB 2118, a actual reality this legislative session and a bill who’s sole purpose is to financially ruin every single FFL in the State of Washington. If you thought your individual liberties have been under attack, wait until you check this piece of leglislation out. This is the most Orwellian and dystopian piece of legislation to ever be introduced in Washington State and must be stopped now. [Watch]

Prohibitonists gonna prohibit…

Cancellation of Maine ‘AR’ Safety Class Opens Questions as to Motives and Legality

That leaves a potential conflict, as duly enacted existing law, which mandates “The commissioner shall establish a program for training individuals in the safe handling of firearms,” does not add a proviso saying “except for firearms that Democrats don’t like.” And the truth about that is all of them, as the Fudds will find out when they’re no longer needed. [More]

Who knew “commonsense gun safety” meant no training? My Freedom of Access Act Request attempts to find out who’d behind that bit of idiocy.

And I just sent it out this morning:

All an Act?

Gun control was once ‘electoral kryptonite.’ Now Colorado Democrats are emboldened — and prepared to act [More]

Yes, they do show their true colors when they’re convinced they have the numbers to forcwe things down yout throat and gloat about it.

The question here is, what does “prepared to act” really mean?

Infectious AND Antidemocratic!

Guns, in other words, are not just threats to public health; they are threats, as historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, to the “strong civic culture and a public sphere conducive to social trust and altruism” that healthy democracies require. [More]

He starts with a faulty premise and goes downhill from there.

Aaron Zelman had a term for such as Metzl and Ben-Ghiat.

The Kali Key completely changes the classification from Semi to Non Regulated Bolt Action. [Watch]

Or as an old friend of mine once said:

I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bellyachin’

Ohio needs a red flag law to prevent needless deaths [More]

In other words, grinning useful idiot Kevin interacted with the nut job, noticed and/or said nothing, and is now trying to alleviate his guilt by denying due process to everyone.

He’s one of these and one of these. Surprise, surprise, he’s one of these:

I am a progressive Democrat…

Read down further and you’ll also see him parroting the “assault-style rifle” narrative, meaning if you give him red flags he’ll be on to the next objective, and then the next

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.

Reframing Bruen

As described above, the Petitioner has demonstrated and the Court finds that New York’s Red Flag Law is not beyond the “outer limits” the framers and ratifiers of the Second and Fourteenth amendment understood them, based on the nation’s historical traditions. [More]

It’s no surprise support for Red Queen laws comes from judges still inserting an affinity for the “collective right” interpretation into their arguments…

Washington Gun Law gives analysis commentary.

Schumer Warns U.S. Troops Will Be Sent to Fight Russians if Border Bill Is Not Passed [More]

We could just try something else. How did Washington put it?

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government. the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.

Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.

Or, we could ignore all that and listen to the same lying, oath-breaking whores who want our guns…

We’re the Only Ones Keyed Up Enough

Police later said they were able to secure the school and determined that a student had a keychain with what appeared to be small revolver on it. [More]

Hysteria-producing ignorance this profound is engineered and directed, and you can literally tell people this unknowledgeable anything to spook them into demanding magic. And that’s just the way the prohibitonists want it.

Son of Low-Hanging Fruit

A detailed search of the Anders’ residence unearthed an alarming array of weapons and materials, including ghost guns, bomb-making components, “emergency food supplies,” and “multiple computers.” San Diego Fire’s Bomb Squad also removed an RPG rocket launcher from the house. [More]

With all the hysteria over specialty rounds and cartridges legal in most states, and a demilled dummy RPG launcher, it’s fair to wonder how much of the rest of the article is hyperbolic DSM fear porn.

Thing is, this guy and Junior made it easy.

Spoken Like a True Oath-Breaker

“This bill would stop the sale of weapons similar to those I and many of the other veterans carried in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Helmer said. [More]

Yeah, can’t let the people keep and bear ARMS…

Not just a false authority, but a LYING false authority.

At least enough ratioers knowing better force him to way “similar” instead of “the same gun issued to me.”

And There was War in Heaven

ATF argues against California’s demands for ghost gun regulations – California is demanding that ATF change its rules relating to ghost guns. [More]

ATF isn’t grabbing guns fast enough for the people who want it all, want it now, and want it delivered.

Let them expend resources on internecine stuff for a change.

There’s a way to prove background checks are a subterfuge to enable registration, but nobody on “our side” wants to talk about it.
