Cooking the Books

The Colorado state government is playing a dangerous game with your Second Amendment rights—and they’re hoping you won’t notice. Thanks to our recent Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) request, we’ve uncovered troubling evidence about how they pushed Senate Bill 3 (the Semi-Auto Gun Ban/Buy Back Your Rights bill) through the legislature. What we found should alarm every responsible gun owner in this state. [More]

But such sneaky dishonesty delights those who want their guns.

Think about that.

UPDATE

And as we’ve come to expect, the ones targeted consistently and overwhelmingly vote for their oppressors.

Speaking of Equal Protection…

Mel Gibson Got His Gun Rights Back, but Millions of Americans With No History of Violence Are Still Waiting [More]

Particularly those Americans who didn’t back away from the issue because they found it “prickly”…

But the big question: How does NRA President and Lautenberg Amendment supporter Bob Barr feel about it?

The Long and Short of It

The SHORT Act would remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and other firearms from the draconian NFA. Sign the petition now to support the SHORT Act and help GOA get this legislation over the finish line! [More]

The finish line is the president’s desk.

I’m sure some will balk with the requirement to provide a phone number. If the goal is to get ‘er done, it would help if we knew which reps and senators we needed to work on who wouldn’t be a complete waste of time, and who could be publicly pressured via their X.com accounts.

Maybe let ’em know the ban was the excuse the government used to justify executing Vicki and Sammy Weaver.

Quiet Reflections

So California requires one and bans the other… Is this where some idiot “progressive” would say “Yeah, but cars don’t kill people”?

Tilting at Misguided Windmills

Today, Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA-02) and Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced the Repealing Illegal Freedom and Liberty Excises (RIFLE) Act. Under current law, there is a $200 tax on the transfer and purchase of firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act. This legislation would remove the existing $200 tax on firearms sold to law-abiding gun owners. [More]

The issue isn’t $200.

“0% chance of being enacted,” anyway…

Who Allows Them to Get Away with It?

Ron DeSantis Mocks State GOP’s Lack of Support for Open Carry: ‘Are We Florida or Are We San Francisco?’ [More]

That’s what years of supporting “the lesser of two evils” vs. taking a hit now and sending an unequivocal message to the party for who they’d better put up next time gets us.

Then again, what the hell do I know?

Now They’re Just F_ing with Us

That fact that they were taken off today’s schedule and postponed for a day or two is not really the interesting part. The interesting part is that the anti-gunners all seemed to know while people coming to testify against them did not. [More]

You can tell a lot about people by how they treat those they feel more powerful than.

Is anyone dumb enough to believe they have “friends across the aisle”? Or in Oregon, true friends on either side?

California Dreamin’

In a disappointing turn for California gun owners, Assembly Bill 1092 – a proposed reform that would have extended the lifespan of concealed carry permits (CCWs) from two to four years – failed to pass through the Assembly Public Safety Committee. [More]

Seven Democrats and two Republicans, with one of them a Vichycon squish on guns… what did they think was going to happen? Pass pro-gun bills in California: Good one.

And they’re not even close to talking about the actual right.

How did the place turn blue?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

A Zero Sum Game

DOJ and ATF Repeal Zero Tolerance Policy, Major Second Amendment Win for the Trump Administration [More]

I want to see what still triggers revocations — and consistency of decisons– before I get too excited, which I won’t do anyway because there will still be an ATF with the power to destroy Americans’ lives over exercising their right in a way the government, with no legitimate delegated authority, doesn’t want to allow.

In the Kapu Tradition

That’s right. In one vote, this bill went from targeting .50 caliber rifles to banning all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, adding new definitions like “assault shotgun” and “fixed magazine,” restricting magazine capacity, and even creating new criminal penalties. [More]

And this crap will continue to happen because SCOTUS allows it and keeps sending mixed signals.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringe’ Is

The US Supreme Court refused to question New York’s 2022 gun restrictions, including the state’s limits on concealed-carry licenses and its ban on weapons in buses, parks and crowded venues. The justices without comment turned away an appeal by six New York residents who said the restrictions infringe the Constitution’s Second Amendment and fly in the face of recent Supreme Court rulings bolstering gun rights. [More]

As noted many times before over the years, all the Supreme Court has to do to allow blatant infringements of our fundamental rights to prevail is… nothing.

People in power don’t give it up unless there’s a credible “or else” behind demands.

Not Far Enough

It is not enough to merely undo the damage of the Biden administration by deporting all illegal immigrants. There must be a moratorium on all immigration into the United States from culturally incompatible Third World countries. [More]

Now show me a First World Country where immigrants won’t overwhelmingly support citizen disarmament…

The Sincerest Form of Flattery

The mother of a UT-Austin student who was stabbed to death last May is pushing Texas Governor Greg Abbott to lead the charge against knives. She’s calling for stopping state laws that could ease restrictions on where people can carry knives like the one used in the UT-Austin attack. [More]

So we can ignore the truth and be just like England.

The search engines really are making it hard to piece together the circumstances on how Kendrex White qualified for an insanity plea as opposed to enhanced hate crime charges.

As it is, however, the possibility of this being a crime inspired by racial hatred isn’t getting any media attention. [More]

Then I guess we’d better not talk about it.
