Festival! Festival!
Let’s not go celebrating just yet:
How is that legal, when Ohio, where open, concealed and permitless carry are legal, has state preemption for firearms laws, previous Attorney General Dave Yost confirmed political subdivisions must allow it?
Let’s ask the new guy and find out.

ATF Statement in Rare Breed Trigger Litigation Raises Questions on Legal Authority
“Please show me anywhere in the U.S.C. or C.F.R. that rate of fire is regulated in any way? Only method of fire is regulated. If it fires more than once per function of the trigger it’s highly regulated. If not, there is NO regulation.” [More]
Just because they act like they have the power to do something doesn’t mean they actually do.

I know damage has to be undone incrementally and I understand how reciprocity with other states works, but I just can’t get myself worked up over the idea of permits.

The Thai that Binds
Last month, after a 14-year-old boy gunned down six people with his grandfather’s pistol at school in central Thailand, Kanyaphat Kanphuwanan, the director of a high school in Bangkok, imagined a similar horror unfolding on her own campus. [More]
The Fifth Column
“I am so thankful that you asked this question, and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country,” Talarico said. “And I think only ending the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together, are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them.” [More]
That endorsement is looking more and more like treason, especially if you dig a bit deeper. Anybody who thinks our guns are all they want is a criminally negligent citizenship malpractitioner.

On a High Note…
Hemani did not rule out Section 922(g)(3) charges when the government presents additional evidence that a defendant poses a danger to public safety. But prior to Hemani, prosecutors typically did not do that. The question now is how federal courts should deal with such prior convictions: Should they simply be vacated, or should the government get another chance to offer evidence that would meet Hemani’s new requirements? [More]
I’m all for punishing the hell out of people who make the choice to misoperate a firearm, or car, or anything while intoxicated and then threaten and/or harm the innocent. But how stoned do you have to be to believe abridging a fundamental right and imposing a permanent prior restraint because someone MIGHT temporarily do something bad is consistent with Founding intent?

A ‘Pro-Gun Democrat’
In a 2016 interview, Latin Grammy Award-winning artist and Democratic congressional candidate Bobby Pulido defended a fellow singer against criticism for a graphic music video that depicted acts of sexual violence and murder. In the video production of “Fuiste Mía” or “You were mine” by Gerardo Ortiz, a singer walks in on his girlfriend cheating on him. After shooting her lover, he then handcuffs her to a pole, blindfolds her, and gropes her before putting her in the trunk of his car and setting it on fire. [More]
Hey, what’s the big deal? He’s “one of us” isn’t he?
That must be why he embraces this guy:
If shooting guns were the only criteria, we’d have no better pal than Lon Horiuchi.
Based on who else they help attain political power, there ARE no “Pro-Second Amendment” Democrats.
Which makes me wonder what the hell NRA is doing endorsing one after she had come out for Joe Biden. Have they learned nothing with Kirsten Gillibrand? John Dingell? Hary Reid? Jon Tester? Bart Stupak…?
