In the Spirit of Aloha

State senators from country and neighbor island districts rose up to kill an effort to ban assault rifles Wednesday at the Capitol. [More]

Moms Demand is wailing and gnashing its teeth.

But it’s not like there’s a powerful “gun lobby” in Hawaii. It sounds more like Joy Buenaventura and a few others got the law laid down to them by some consituents who have a vested interest in keeping theirs.

Counting Eggs

Supreme Court’s “Ghost Gun” Ruling Accidentally Paves Way For Next-Gen 80% Firearms [More]

Don’t go celebrating the workaround just yet.

Another lawsuit and another injunction and we’re back to Square One. And if “common use” is the new standard, I wouldn’t be looking at “uncommon tools” as a solution.

We’re the Only Ones Exposed Enough [More]

Don’t ask.

Then there’s:

The gun industry could face civil damages for the misuse of firearms in limited circumstances in Connecticut under product liability legislation passed by the House and sent to the Senate on Wednesday. Passage of House Bill 7042 came on a largely party-line vote of 100 to 46 in the House, where Democrats have a 102-49 majority. Five Democrats were opposed and five Republicans in favor. [More]

With “Republicans” like these, who needs Democrats?

The five Republicans in favor were Chris Aniskovich of Clinton, Devin Carney of Old Saybrook, Tina Courpas of Greenwich, Tom Delnicki of South Windsor and Tracy Marra of Darien.

If I were CCDL, I’d be spitting on their treachery at their “social media” accounts.

As Threats Go…

From a “guntuber”:

Are your guns about to be banned? The federal government is pushing the GOSAFE Act, the BUMP Act, and the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025—and together, they represent the biggest threat to the Second Amendment we’ve seen in years.

Hyperbole much?

None has a chance of passing even the House.

And yes, no link was intentional.

Government Opposes Compassionate Release of Gun Tuber Matthew Hoover For Terminal Medical Condition [More]

Read this. Let your blood boil. Then ask yourself why Pam Bondi, the ATF’s new supposedly “pro-gun” Chief Counsel, and that DOJ Civil Rights honcho we’ve been hearing such hopeful things about are going to allow this tyranny to continue.

Because they’ve been pulling this crap of modifying seized property into “illegality” for a long time. And again. And again.

And it’s not like they have legitmate delegated authority even if the items worked without forced engineering.

Buyback at St. Estupido’s

Leaders of the Catholic Church in Baja California have decided to join the fight against crime by turning their churches into collection points for guns and ammo. It’s part of a program called “Sí al desarme, sí a la paz,” which means yes to disarming, yes to peace. [More]

“Grenades and explosives” too!

And it’s all being sanctioned by government cartel partners!

I wonder if any Fast and Furious guns will end up scrapped…

Life in the Gun-Free Zone

USF police say students found an empty 9mm cartridge in Parking Lot 9 on the main campus Tuesday… Tuesday’s discovery came just days after police said an empty gun case and empty ammunition magazines were found in the USF Fine Arts Building. [More]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Find Out What It Means to Me

I want you out there in the Second Amendment movement to hear what I’m saying, observe what the Trump administration is doing in terms of enforcing Title 9 against universities and governmental agencies that are thumbing their noses at civil rights, because we can derive lessons from what the Trump administration is doing, lessons from the remedies being sought, lessons from the remedies being imposed upon, in this case, the University of Pennsylvania, and we can draw analogies and come up with new ways for we in the Second Amendment community to basically try to get the Trump administration to do to, for example, those law enforcement agencies that refuse to respect our Second Amendment rights. So, for the purpose of this discussion, remove the words ‘University of Pennsylvania’ in your mind and insert, for example, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or some other local law enforcement agency, maybe the New York Police Department that issues licenses, insert them in there and then let’s talk about the remedies. [Watch]

Validating precedent for the licensing of a right that “shall not be infringed” is a remedy? This will make those agencies “respect our Second Amendment rights”?

Yeah, trust me, I understand “incrementalism.”

I also carried for 30 years in L.A. without any damn “permit,” so, as always, I never expect personal considered choices from anyone I’m not willing to expect of myself.

FOIA Request Seeks to Determine DOJ Decision-Making for Firearms Disability Relief Actions

It’s with an eye toward determining how these 10 choices were selected for DOJ’s initial offering that prompted this FOIA request. [More]

Let’s see if the new, improved “Second Amendment Task Force” DOJ will be any better at responding to these things than it was under the Biden regime.

Stupid SHOULD Hurt

The Kansas Supreme Court agreed Friday with a district court decision tossing a lawsuit filed by a former Emporia State University football player shot by a teammate who mistakenly believed that disassembling his newly purchased handgun required pulling the trigger. [More]

What a moron.

Jonathan Lowy. Figures.

At what point are gunmakers going to file bar complaints and sue him for deliberately filing nuisance lawsuits, and courts slap him down for wasting their time with unethical lawfare harassment?

Enemy, Foreign AND Domestic

Indian-Born Democrat Congressman Introduces SEVEN Articles of Impeachment Against President Trump [More]

Of course, he’s a gun-grabber.

If he and his folks don’t like it here, they can always go back, no? Except Trump and Elon want to bring in more. Despite the pre-election numbers showing that “Sixty-one percent of registered Indian American voter respondents plan to vote for Harris while 32 percent intend to vote for Trump..”

And yes, I acknowledge there are patriots of foreign heritage who are the exception. Immigration policy needs to be a filter to screen out applicants who are not coming in to help “secure the Blessings of Liberty.”
