The Sentence First, Verdict Afterwards Act

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Protect Domestic Abuse Survivors From Gun Violence [More]

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Deny Constitutional Rights to the Accused — there, I fixed it for them.

No prognosis yet on GovTrack, but with a Republican House consider this political posturing by the usual gang of rights prohibitionists in anticipation of SCOTUS enraging them in Rahimi.

Assuming the GOP doesn’t blow ’24.

Up in Smoke

Did the ATF Just Make Airsoft Smoke Grenades Illegal? [More]

I’d read the notification and made the wrong assumption that this only applied to “government contractors and subcontractors performing explosives operations exclusively pursuant to a current and valid contract with a government agency,” but I guess that part just means they no longer have de facto exemptions.

Having zero experience with the Airsoft community, I wasn’t aware of that aspect.

It’s Academic

Based on the above literature and what I know from personal experience, legal possession of firearms must, in addition to already prescribed regulations, bi-yearly be obliged to take a gun-related training course, with fees, or risk having their licence confiscated. Gun owners must also, yearly, be interviewed by authorized personnel to articulate what they have been up to for the year, how they have used their gun over the past year and any problems they have had with their guns, licensing, or any other general concerns. [More]

I’ve talked before about Academia.edu, a website that features papers on all subjects and that I get notifications on when they post on guns. The above is from a 2014 paper, but what this idiot is proposing is useful to bring up now just to show just how delusional the pseudo-eggheads are, and how worthless their infringements against the obedient would be at addressing the real problems.

International Tribunal Lawsuit an Unconstitutional Attempt to Subvert Second Amendment

The same goes for the OAS and its Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, both of which have no authority, legal, moral, or otherwise, to impose their diktats and override “the supreme Law of the Land.” [More]

Our sympathy does not give sufferers leave to lay claim to our rights. And defund the OAS.

We’re the Only Ones Gangsta Enough

Incoming Assn. of Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs board member Jason Zabala previously described his tattoo under oath, saying it depicted a skeleton in a cowboy hat with a smoking rifle and the number 140. He called the stark combination of imagery a “station tattoo,” but others described it as the symbol of a deputy gang known as the Regulators. [More]

So these guys can get off-roster guns and you can’t…

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

Again with the Lie

House Republicans just voted to prohibit the CDC from studying gun deaths and gun injuries. [More]

And here I thought it was just to stop tax plunder from being used to stump for citizen disarmament

Dr. Mark Rosenberg, Director of the CDC’s National Center for Injury Control and Prevention (NCIPC) in 1994 told The Washington Post: “We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes. Now it [sic] is dirty, deadly, and banned.”

No Charge!

The Brooklyn District Attorney had “no choice but to dismiss” Council Member Inna Vernikov’s weapons charge given her gun was “inoperable” … The council member’s charge, criminal possession of a firearm, requires the weapon in question be “capable of firing bullets” — meaning Vernikov’s charges wouldn’t stand, according to the District Attorney’s office. [More]

So New Yorkers can have 80% receivers now…?

Or more likely, they were politically afraid to p!$$ off the wrong group of NY political power players…

Idiot du Jour

We should levy an additional tax on firearms and ammunition to help treat victims, including people who must live with the horror of gun violence. Maybe then gun manufacturers and their supporters would think twice about marketing their wares to unstable, angry customers. [More]

Flesh that out with details for us Dorothy, so everyone can see how clueless you really are.

It looks from “Comments” like nobody’s buying her line of sh!+ either, which, considering where this appeared, is a real positive sign that average Americans are seeing through the absurdity of all the stupid infringements.

Point of Origin

Illinois Assault Weapons Ban Faces New Challenge… The petition argues that Justices Elizabeth Rochford and Mary Kay O’Brien participated in the case despite receiving campaign contributions from those who support the ban. [More]

Now I want you to remember who did the original work that made this possible:

[T]he research and publicity this article has caused has led to a petition with the US Supreme Court on Caperton V Massey grounds, which was first brought up in this piece.

Take it from someone who knows what it’s like to be “bigfooted” out of a story by the media and latecomers.

I’ll probably put something together over the weekend to give this wider exposure. In the meantime, if you see any YouTube gun influencers who don’t give credit to Mom-At-Arms, notify viewers in their video comments.

Thoughtcrime

‘Unvarnished Anti-Semitism’: Elon Musk Catches All Hell for Agreeing With Bigoted Tweet [More]

How is acknowledging the subversion of bagel brains unvarnished anything but truth? They’re just supposed to be able to do it with impunity, and if we point it out we’re the bad guys?

So we not only have to tolerate it, but we have to enthusiastically and approvingly embrace and promote it or we’ll be excoriated and destroyed…?

What does that remind you of?

Not Content to Eviscerate the Second Amendment, Gun-Grabbers Go After the First

What’s clear from both the Illinois and the California cases, is prohibitionist Democrats, thwarted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, will leave no right unabridged in their totalitarian obsession with controlling everything. [More]

If freedom prohibitionists can take the guns, what’s to stop them from taking everything else?

Bob Rose by Any Other Name

I’m a proud card-carrying member of the NRA… [More]

He then proceeds to endorse the evisceration of the Second Amendment.

Association Bylaws, Article III, Sec. 11, “Involuntary Termination of Membership and Disciplinary Proceedings” states in part:

“Any individual or organization member may be suspended or expelled for good cause, including, but not limited to, any conduct which is contrary to, or in violation of the Bylaws of the Association.”

This public anti-gun advocacy is in direct conflict with Article II, Purposes and Objectives, section 1:

“To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, especially with reference to the inalienable right of the individual American citizen guaranteed by such Constitution to acquire, possess, collect, exhibit, transport, carry, transfer ownership of, and enjoy the right to use arms, in order that the people may always be in a position to exercise their legitimate individual rights of self-preservation and defense of family, person, and property, as well as to serve effectively in the appropriate militia for the common defense of the Republic and the individual liberty of its citizens;”

Additionally, Article III, “Membership,” section 1., “Eligibility,” requires that the member “subscribes to the objectives and purposes of the Association.”

I say expel the subverting old Fudd.

Where Credit is Due

The Supreme Court Should Not Let Bureaucrats Invent Crimes by Rewriting the Law – The Trump administration’s unilateral ban on bump stocks turned owners of those rifle accessories into felons. [More]

Let’s not forget the role Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox played in paving the way (and good luck finding their joint statement on the NRA website anymore).

Pointing all that out and more seems to make some people uncomfortable. One angry reader canceled his subscription over it.

You know the type.

Location, Location, Location!

Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Wynn A:

The sentiment of gun owners seems to be if it isn’t ‘registered’ the powers that be don’t know about it. Fools errand. As witnessed with Katrina the goons will go door to door and forcibly search all buildings. The citizens of New Orleans went along with this outlandish conduct. Will today’s Americans do the same?

By the time they’re at your door, it’s too late.

Depending on the area, I have a feeling that if this starts in any significant numbers, many confiscators will end up more concerned about what’s coming to their door.

None Dare Call It Treason

Thompson, Goldman, Castro Introduce Bill to Disarm Cartels by Stopping Trafficking of American Guns Across Southern Border [More]

So they want to disarm Americans while cartels through their puppets continue to amass military-grade weapons and military-age men pour over the border Democrats want open for their superhighway to citizenship…

Still want to pretend it’s not germane to the “single issue,” “gun rights leaders”?
