Today’s Low-Hanging Fruit Report

The TSA officer detected the fully disassembled 9mm firearm in a carry-on bag at a checkpoint in Terminal A as the man’s duffle bag entered the checkpoint X-ray machine. The gun frame was jammed in the bottom of a boot below a sock that had been stuffed behind it to help conceal it. The gun’s slide, spring and gun magazine loaded with 12 bullets were detected mixed among the plastic pieces of a Black Panther LEGO set. [More]

Maybe he just forgot they were there…?

Punt, Pass and Kick

Instead of taking on the next frontier of firearms regulations, the justices tossed a highly anticipated review of prohibitions on gun ownership for felons. [More]

The distancing from Bruen continues.

As noted before, the only thing the Supreme Court has to do to let infringements stand is… nothing.

Democrats Ditching Biden/Harris is Politics, Not Principles

What we’re seeing is a cynical Democrat admission that their radical platform doesn’t play well in the heartland, so they need to hide who they are and put on a mask of moderation. [More]

Anyone who falls for a change in their agenda is the type of dupe the Democrats rely on.

No Constitutional Reason Justifies Not Recognizing 2A Rights of Young Adults

Anyone who tells you 18-to-20-year-olds are not fully enfranchised citizens entitled to exercise their rights under the Second Amendment is a liar and an enabler of tyranny. [More]

Sending back what should have been a no-brainer makes me wonder which SCOTUS members we’ve been told are 2A-friendly are getting ready to disappoint…

By the Numbers

There are an average of 1,820,000 defensive gun uses per year compared to 1,100,000 reported crimes. Only 2.07 million civilians regularly carry a firearm for defense. Civilians are 85% more likely to use a firearm for defense than to be murdered by one. [More]

[Insert name of gungrabber here] would rather you be murdered than armed. Preferably by someone with a gun, to bolster their numbers.

Speaking of Insatiable Lust…

If you think they are willing to stop at collecting machine guns, they will eventually go for your semi-automatic rifles. If you think they will stop at semi-automatic rifles, they’ll go for your bolt action and lever action rifles when you’re not looking. [More]

That’s why they call them “totalitarians.”

To paraphrase Martin Niemöller, “Then they came for the Fudds— and there was no one left to speak for them.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringement’ Is

Two such changes would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance to cover losses and damages from accidental use of firearms, and a new annual $25 harm reduction fee would be instituted for gun owners on each gun they own. The future funds would go to a nonprofit focused on gun violence education and prevention…The city would also ban anyone 18 years or younger from entering a gun dealership and would ban the sale of firearms from home-based businesses. [More]

Tell me THAT won’t reduce the “30% increase in homicides this year.”

And now it’s up to gun owners to cough up more money to let this drag on for years in the courts.

Calling All Fudds

State attorneys: hunting rifles are not “constitutionally” protected in Connecticut… Whether or not they are constitutionally protected, they are certainly democratically protected,” Perry said. “As a rule, something that is popular doesn’t need constitutional protection, because it’s popular. [More]

And once they’re no longer popular?

Or in “common use” …?

The question nobody asks collectivist monkeys like Joshua Perry is if the Constitution doesn’t protect me, what makes you think it protects you?

Your turn in the barrel, Fudds.

Just because Polyphemus promised to eat you last didn’t mean he wasn’t going to.
