Right Now It’s Just Noise

REPORTER: Why are you pushing to loosen firearm restrictions in Florida?

DESANTIS: “Well, I would say I am vindicating people’s constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. We always have an obligation to do that.” [More]

Who’s the idiot “reporter”?

And when are the Vichycons in the Florida legislature going to give DeSantis something to sign?

You Can’t Have One Without the Other

To my fellow Oregonskis, you are outnumbered and your only hope, just like the blacks of the 20th Century lies in federal intervention. And federal intervention it must be. We await a newly invigorated Civil Rights Division of a purged US Department of Justice to get busy. [More]

Which will never happen unless “gun rights groups” stop kissing administration @$$ and start leading their millions of member in demanding it.

I also received this comment via X message:

Howdy. I appreciate your efforts and work! Thought I’d send this privately rather than comment under the article. This is an incorrect take. The Oregon appeals court’s ruling was based on the state constitution as the lower court judge (Raschio) made it clear his decision (pro gun rights) was based on the Oregon constitution (which was an important distinction based on the Federal court decision discussed next). It was the Federal court judge (Trump appointee Immergut) who heard the 2A arguments on measure 114 almost 20+ months ago and attempted to narrow 2A rights with her pro measure 114 100+ page opinion. Raschio’s ruling merely gave us Oregon gun owners a 20 month reprieve (during which time the US Supreme Court should have addressed the issue via Snope and others, but has failed to do so). My $0.02 anyway… Take care & I hope this didn’t come across rude or arrogant, as it was not my intention.

While I don’t recall going into those details to make it an “incorrect take,” it’s not arrogant or rude: I appreciate the background insights.

Oregon Court Decision Sides Against Second Amendment and with Tyranny

If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored.

Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?

Like Nobody’s Business

The bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business by amending New Mexico’s Unfair Trade Practices Act to make it easier to sue a gun store than any other type of business and imposing harsher penalties on gun stores than any other type of business. [More]

And when they pass that, Democrats have plenty more waiting in the wings.

A Red Letter Day

A Michigan court may issue an extreme risk protection order “ex parte” – without written or oral notice to the subject of the order or an opportunity to respond to the allegations. If the petitioner is a law enforcement officer, he or she may apply for an immediate emergency order “verbally over the telephone,” without a written petition, and the judge or magistrate may issue the order based solely on that request.

So… does this mean Carita’s a liar…?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Due Process’ Is

So, when he designed his training, he emphasized due process protections embedded in these laws: Gun owners get ample notice about the petition, and they have the right to defend themselves in court through multiple hearings. [More]

But their guns are taken before anything’s proven, right?

Figures this Carita character works with 97Percent.

Forgetting Something?

SJC rules Massachusetts’ nonresident gun laws are legal after post-Bruen changes [More]

I take it no one argued Dred Scott…?

“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased… and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
