About That ‘ Unvarnished Pro-Second Amendment Record…

A law recently signed by Republican Governor Kay Ivey makes it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to possess parts intended to convert pistols into machine guns. [More]

That’s quite the “unwavering support“…

And Now, a Brief Commercial Message…

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a very innovative argument in the matter of Williams v. United States, yet another challenge to 18 USC Sec. 922(g)(1) the ban on felons possessing firearms. Today, we take a look at a crafty argument based upon the Commerce Clause and how, if accepted, could undo dozens of Federal gun laws. [Watch]

Good. That said, a review of text, history, and tradition of the Commerce Clause at the time of ratification would not have supported the expansion and usurpation of unintended powers to allow the feds to get their hooks into citizen disaramament, treasonous subsequent stare decisis saying they could notwithstanding.

And raising Tenth Amendment arguments isn’t exactly “new”:

Also, it’s helpful to keep in mind that the MFFA and its clones are really a states’ rights exercise, a challenge to federal commerce clause power on Tenth Amendment and other grounds. It is more about federal power than firearms.

A Taxing Proposition

The Power to Tax, The Second Amendment, and the Search for Which “‘Gangster’ Weapons” to Tax Which “‘Gangster’ Weapons” to Tax [More]

Stephen P. Halbrook has a new scholarly offering in the Wyoming Law Review.

Based on the man’s past contributions, I recommend you find the time to throughly read it. I know I will.

Speaking of Miserable Ingrates…

Dem Says American Murdered by Illegal Alien is a ‘Distraction’ from Party’s Deportation Due Process Focus [More]

She’s all for “due process” unless it means guns will be taken away without a trial and conviction. (And what’s with politicians passing laws that affect us all pre-censoring comments that might oppose them?)

Funny, how she’s bent on imposing the same monopoly of violence tyranny her parents fled Iran over on the country that gave them refuge.

More ‘Good First Steps’!

Bans Civilian Armories: They’ll define “armories” and slap a hard limit on how many firearms you can own, potentially forcing you to SURRENDER any guns over their arbitrary cap! Mandatory Gun Registration: Every single firearm you own will need to be registered with the state – a tyrant’s dream to track and control you! Purchase Limits: Caps how many guns you can buy per month, restricting your Constitutional right to arm yourself as you see fit! [More]

Just like the Founders intended!

And, of course, once they pass those they’ll be on to something else, because it will never be enough.

Biden’s Secret ‘Pillars’ Sought to Smear 2A Supporters as Domestic Terrorists

They didn’t want you to know that owning guns and advocating for the Second Amendment officially made you a terror suspect while they conducted a propaganda campaign to convince low-information voters that’s exactly what you are. The intent here is to impose citizen disarmament edicts on the entire Republic similar to what we find in Democrat states that have given up on the Second Amendment, and as we see in those states, what they’ve enacted is never enough. [More]

They’ve called us Nazis, fascists, racists, and “the greatest threat,” all with intent to disarm us. Why not add “terrorist” to the list?

Who’s Minding the Store? DOJ Siding with Letitia James Against Gun Companies

So, what gives with Podolsky’s very public filing, siding with notorious New York Democrat gun prohibitionists? And will AG Bondi and her new appointees now rein him in and slap him down? [More]

We’ve seen enough disconnects to make it fair to wonder if Bondi is being undermined or if she’s just talking out of both sides of her mouth.

UPDATE

I’ve submitted an update to this piece because, per GOA, DOJ reversed itself and is withdrawing from the case. If they’da listened to me from the start and included gun owner reps in their Task Force, they’d eliminate much of the uproar and embarrassing need to backtrack.
