Merits Brief Informs SCOTUS on Hawaii’s ‘Vampire Rule’

Upholding Hawaii’s disarmament edict “fails every aspect of the analytical framework established by Bruen,” Beck and Petitioner Co-Counsel Mark W. Pennack argue. [More]

It’s difficult to conceive how the same court that gave us Bruen could agree that the Founders would have been cool with ubiquitous infringements.

We’re the Only Ones Unreciprocating Enough

Fraternal Order of Police Urges Congress to Reject National Reciprocity [More]

This.

Because “Only Ones” are so much better than We the People in so many ways. But it does kinda make you wonder what they meant by that oath, and how many thought it was just a ceremonial formality.

The weight of the badge, eh, George?

Back the blue that won’t back you?

Since when do we ask the help how many horses and hounds we can own?

How about REPEAL LEOSA and put these uppity thugs back in their place?

Shall Be Questioned

Specifically, how does this Florida decision on Post Office carry from last year tie in with current practice resulting from the Texas case?

I looked and for whatever reason I don’t see where I mentioned this here before. Judge Mizelle made some interesting points– I especially liked considerations about robbers and Indians attacking mail-carrying stagecoaches and railway mail clerks with government-issued pistols.

And yeah, Bruen can trump Heller, and the proper period for text, history, and tradition is when the people accepted the Constitution as binding.

Expert firearm witness criticizes ATF’s treatment of Patrick “Tate” Adamiak [More]

Longtime advisor, earlier “Shockwave” developer, “small cadre” co-conspirator and all-around pal Len Savage weighs in.

The much-vaunted “Second Amendment Task Force” ought to consult with this guy on all ATF technology/rules-related matters.

‘Shall Not Be Questioned’

Postal Service Employees are directed to refrain from confronting or engaging with the customer about the fact that they are carrying a firearm… Calls to local enforcement (911) should only be made if the person is interfering with operations or if the customer is acting in a manner that raises immediate safety or security concerns. [More]

The sign is still up.

Wakanda Forever!

Police spokesperson Nafi’u Abubakar Kotarkoshi told The Associated Press the gunmen had “sophisticated weapons” and exchanged fire with guards before abducting the girls. [More]

But…but…but:

“[C]ivilians are not allowed to possess machine-guns, military rifles and handguns … private possession of semi-automatic assault weapons [and] private possession of handguns (pistols and revolvers) is prohibited.”

Who thinks the solution is to import refugees here?

Tar Heel Treason

Vichycons are worse enemies than out-and-out lefties. The youngest of the lot is 74. Gun owners need to have challengers ready to run.

Then again, that’s presupposing the majority want to do anything more than complain after the fact. I’ll bet I’ve done more to promote GRNC efforts over the years than 99% of them, and being from Ohio, and with many other irons in the fire, I haven’t really done that much.

“9.2K followers“…? Why isn’t it 92,000, and even that would be light.

You Gonna Do Somethin’ or Just Stand There and Whine?

Leaders of New York City’s “Forgotten Borough” — and most conservative enclave — are re-introducing stalled legislation for Staten Island to secede from what they fear will become the People’s Republic of Mamdani. [More]

And they expect people who stupidly disarm their militia to be taken seriously?

No smoke wagons to skin…

Strong Hypocrisy Endangers Lives

The former aide of Gov. Maura Healey charged with cocaine trafficking can now post bail after a previous judge ordered him held without bail following a dangerousness hearing. [More]

You wanna talk about dangerous, how about the criminal underworld he enabled?

That and “illegally owning a firearm and ammunition” makes it pretty easy to understand why he helped her disarm the “law-abiding.”

Flash in the Pan

They have removed their post but they’re still getting knocked around on X and this will follow them around forever.

No doubt some legal risk management type thought they’d better get ahead of potential product lawsuits with a disclaimer, kinda like Glock distancing itself from add-on switches.

It won’t work, of course, because lawfare in the name of public safety is just a cynical tactic being employed toward a greater strategic goal.

Looks like they were coerced into this by Alvin Bragg.

So… how’s the investigation into his corruption going, and will we ever see his well-larded carcass removed from positions where he can hurt people?

The Department of Justice is continuing the prosecution of Tim Durkin of Durkin Tactical. Durkin was charged with “engaging in the business” of selling firearms, without making a single gun sale. [Watch]

Are they trying to alienate gun owners before the midterms?

Leaving gun owners wondering if the Trump administration is bipolar or just frauds is not a winning formula for inspiring voters, donors, and volunteers.

Gee, I really hope no angry MAGA fashionista demands to know if I’d rather have Kamala Harris.
