On the Fast Track to Tenure

“So some states have what are often referred to as Red Flag Laws or extreme risk protection orders which enable a judge to temporarily take away the guns of individuals who have demonstrated in some way to be threats to themselves or others,” said Associate Professor of American politics at Case Western, Matt Lacombe. [More]

Yeah, just look at the difference not being “allowed” to have guns makes in Chicago and Baltimore!

Same goes for this prior restraint idiot

Tell Me Again About ‘Gun Control’

Long before Hamas militants burst out of their Gaza stronghold to massacre scores of civilians with handguns and assault rifles, Iran and its allies had accelerated efforts to smuggle weapons into a different part of the Palestinian territories, the West Bank. [More]*

Something tells me closing the boyfriend loophole isn’t gonna cut it.

It’s almost like we have a Second Amendment for a reason…

I’m sure glad the gaslighters at Axios tell us that “open border” is a “myth”!

Let’s See The Little B@$+@rd$ Work Their Way Out of This!

That blocks teens from open carrying because minors can’t get a concealed carry license. [More]

If they’re “at least 19 years of age or eighteen years of age and a member of the United States Armed Forces, or honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces, and is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm,” they can.

And who’s dumb enough to think it will stop the ones who can’t from being armed?

A Confederacy of Dunces

Six lieutenant governors from across the country joined gun violence prevention advocates Tuesday to share their stories and offer solutions at a policy discussion event. The Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association hosted the gun violence prevention policy summit, which was the first event of its kind. The DLGA partnered with the gun violence prevention advocacy groups Everytown for Gun Safety, March for Our Lives and Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, as well as the labor union American Federation of Teachers, for the event. [More]

Basically, these impotent “geniuses” want to disarm you and do nothing that will give a predator pause.

I got distracted by the guy who looks like he pees sitting down– are weird socks some kind of recognition signaling with these characters?

So Much for ‘Crime Gun Intelligence’

“The flow of crime guns to those people. How are they being armed? Many of them are felons, people who the law says can’t have weapons yet there finding them anyway.” [More]

So the guy in charge admits what he’s doing isn’t working and his solution is to do more of it…?

And marvel at the way professional “Authorized Journalists” are not only subject matter ignorant but grade-schoolers with their stock-in-trade, the English language.

So much for the “tenants” of journalism…

On the Gunny Side of the Street

Among other restrictions, the law bans the public carry of firearms at designated sensitive locations and institutes a default ban on carrying firearms on private property without express permission from the property owner. [More]

WarOnGuns Correspondent JR asks if a public easement means you can be armed on private property traversed by a sidewalk.

A Feature, Not a Bug

Yet, when these dedicated analysts came to their woke bosses, saying, “We need to pay attention to this!” Their bosses contemptuously dismissed them with something like, “Don’t worry about it” When the shallow and self-centered don’t want something to be true, they “pretend” it’s not true. That’s exactly what happened at Pearl Harbor in 1941, in Vietnam just prior to the Tet Offensive in 1968 (I was there for that one!), and in NYC in September of 2001. [More]

Ephesians 6:12 comes to mind.

On Appeal

Our lawsuit was consolidated with five others also suing the governor over her order. Last night, after consulting with our fellow parties, we filed an appeal with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the decision on the preliminary injunction. [More]

The state has unlimited tax plunder to use against us. While footing their bill, don’t forget to foot ours.

The Going Rate

America’s highest gun death rates are in the South [More]

In Democrat enclaves among Democrat constituencies

We’ve discussed the rates misdirection before. Just don’t expect the subversives at the oxymoronically-named Center for American Progress, or cheerleading DSM narrative parroters to admit the gaslighting.

So if the problem isn’t guns per se, then what is it?

Parallel Worlds

David Codrea, in Firearms News reports that “While parallels to the situation in Ukraine are understandable enough to make with this new move to recruit civilians into the defense equation, the biggest similarity (and biggest mistake) is, both nations waited until the wolf was at the door to start the process. [More]

I was talking about Taiwan, but yeah, the parallels are there too.

I’ll take whatever publicity I can get as long as it doesn’t come with a mug shot.

We’re the Only Ones Conspiring Enough

North Carolina and North Dakota Police Chiefs and Federal Firearms Licensees Indicted for Conspiracy to Illegally Acquire Machineguns and Other Firearms. [More]

Amidst all the outrage over Larry Vickers, let’s not forget we all have the right to such firearms the chiefs claimed for themselves but would arrest us for. I also find it difficult to comprehend how an FFL and recognized expert, versed in all the traps and pitfalls, could stumble into such a huge one himself.

The Same Except They’re Different

The argument that commercially available, AR-type firearms are somehow less dangerous or lethal simply because they fire only in semi-automatic mode is misleading. They retain the identical performance capabilities and characteristics (save full-automatic capability) as initially intended for use in combat. [More]

Oh, is that all? Spread that lie under oath!

Also from the linked Exhibit:

As mentioned previously in this report, many of the firearms prohibited by the Ordinances directly trace their origins to those developed for use in combat. As such, these firearms were never initially intended for general distribution or sale to the public.

Except if we’re talking ARs, and of course he is, guess which one came first:

“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”

Tell me this Yurgealitis trough feeder isn’t cognizant of Founding intent and is incentivized by those who fear that and obscure it through gaslighting.

And tangentially related:

As predicted, they’re taking full advantage of Scalia’s critical error.

In re later “Bowie knives” edicts and the like, does anyone have a record of such laws ever being challenged on Second Amendment grounds and such bans being upheld and/or appealed to a higher court?

My Guess Would Be ‘All’

Hamas terrorists were directed by their leaders to target elementary schools and youth centers in Israel to “kill as many people as possible” during their bloody sneak attack over the weekend, according to a report. [More]

Without kneejerk buying into all claims by parties with vested interests, I’m just wondering how many “pro-Palestinian” leftists are also against arming teachers here.

There’s an idea– a pressure campaign on the gun-grab groups to get them to condemn Hamas, and when they refuse and come up with some equivocal weasel words, sic both leftist sides against them.

Two can play at divide-and-conquer.

ULLA SELLA ‘n all that…

We Don’t Need No Education

Oregon again says students don’t need to prove mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate, citing harm to students of color [More]

That’s one way to make excuses for the subversive scam of teachers’ unions, where incompetence is a feature, not a bug. Create chaos and dependency through indoctrination and ignorance, and add in importing pathway-to-citizenship foreign nationals whose countries can somehow churn out employees with superior technical abilities on a pittance of what we spend per capita on students, and you have all the ingredients for control — of all kinds.

Not that our “single-issue gun rights leaders” dare notice…

Rope-Selling Capitalist

“We get everything from an agency saying, ‘Hey, we have one gun that we need to destroy,’ to a client in Michigan—Michigan State Police—which requires thousands of guns to be destroyed a month,” Scott Reed, president of GunBusters, said. [More]

There’s a word for such public/private partnerships, Scott.
