The Eye of the Beholder

A coalition of gun-rights groups is arguing that a federal appeals court should overturn a conviction of a Billings man who appeared to be menacing an elementary school from across the street as he walked around his property, often with gun in hand. [More]

“Appeared to be” is very different from “was,” and the case could be made that hoplophobic snitches should not be the arbiters.

Once this is over, it would be interesting to see everything it took to get ATF’s Dustin Stroble to insert his snout into this. It appears Metcalf initiating contact with the FBI broke a cardinal rule.

We’ll Tell You What Your Rights Are

In 2025, several new gun laws will go into effect in California. [More]

More attacks on RKBA, due process, self-incrimination protections, and privacy rights, while dragooning dealers into spreading the state’s terms of surrender…

You’ve got to scroll down to find them. The “real reporter” figured we needed to hear Kamala and Joe prove they’re cluelsss how the election went and demand more infringements on everybody first because of Madison.

Question about Sec. 34210: Do you see anything in there prohibiting dealers from putting a stamp on the pamphlet warning customers it’s state-mandated bull$h!+? I guess if they wanna stay open, because the vindictive bastards don’t neeed laws to persecute…

Sign Me Up?

President Trump has a tool to push for the passage of legislation, such as the hearing protection act. The executive branch, specifically the Secretary of the Treasury, can unilaterally declare an amnesty for people to register NFA items with the ATF. [More]

Wouldn’t that imply they’d done something wrong and that citizens should obey tyrannical claims on their rights…?

Yeah, of course I know the alternative.

Some of us have considered that before charting our own course.

I like Dean, he does a lot of valuable stuff and I’m sure he’s doing his best to let us know about something that could keep us out of trouble. I guess I’m just surprised to see this on JPFO.

Rules for Thee…

Joe Biden Calls for Greater Gun Control Following Wisconsin School Shooting Just Weeks After Pardoning His Son Hunter for Gun Crimes [More]

Somebody propped him up and told him what to say.

They never let a crisis and a blood-dancing opportunity go to waste.

Related UPDATES

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Monday on “News Central” that the “context of gun ownership” had to undergo substantial legislative changes, even though it is not “relevant in this shooting” at a Madison, WI Christian school. [More]

Say, wouldn’t lying to investigators make you a prohibited person if the administration wasn’t shielding you to protect itself?

And:

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) called for his House colleagues to “stand up to gun manufacturers” following reports of a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS) in Madison, Wisconsin. [More]

They’re shameless.

This is a Job for DOGE

Basically if somebody was trying to subpoena emails of a member of congress because of a potential crime or something, this would allow them to quash such a subpoena. [More]

Musk and Ramaswamy are all over this.

As long as the CR game is played, the bastards will continue to slip stuff in and take stuff out that only few will noticwe, and that will be passed out of desperation or “the government will shut down.”

I’m waiting to see how soon someone will find hidden gun-grabs.

Too bad Connery — and the rest of the lot — turned out to be such tools.

De-Authorized Journalists

Everett mayor wins $1.1M in defamation settlement, local paper agrees to shut down – Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria alleged The Everett Leader Herald knowingly fabricated quotes and published false accusations against him. [More]

The guy’s a goddam gun-grabber and they gotta make stuff up about him? That’s gotta be a real Democrat dilemma, when you can’t go after him for what he’s really guilty of because you share that agenda.

Correlation ≠ Causation

Yesterday’s school shooting was devastating. But remember, because we organized and acted, we passed legislation in 2022 making major changes to American gun laws. And this year, mass shootings have dropped by a whopping 20% from last year. That’s a big deal, and reason for hope. [More]

Now flesh that out for us. Show your work, your data, and the equations used to reach that conclusion.

You know, prove it.

Can anyone truly be ignorant enough to believe an in-your-face logical fallacy like this without even looking at, let alone understanding the evidence? And if they know he’s lying about this and voted for him anyway, what does that say about them?

What an @$$hole Chris Murphy is.

Request to Expedite

The 2A Attorneys in Gray v. Jennings Delaware “assault weapon” ban litigation have filed a submission to SCOTUS as the three AR-15/Magazine ban cases continue their move through the Court’s consideration process. Mark Smith Four Boxes Diner discusses. [Watch]

That’s a counterpoint to this.

January sounds like the month we’ll learn either way if this and related cases will be considered/consolidated or punted again.

For the Children

What incapable rabbits they make our politicians, “educators,” gun-grabbers, and parents who fall for the avoidance lies look like.

Meanwhile, Argentina is begining to face adult responsibilities.

So, while other parts of the world are reacquainting themselves with reality, U.S. Democrat enclaves in the land of the Second Amendment are on a neverending “whack-a-mole gun control” quest to undermine the right and return the people to the serfdom their ancestors fled, all in the name of “progressivism.”

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of ‘Shall Not Be’ Is

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]

The state that inflicted Joe Biden onto the political scene says banning semiautomatic rifles and magazines doesn’t infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Mark W. Smith ties it in with related cases SCOTUS is considering. And I continue to be suspicious of relying on “common use.”

The Treason Coalition

While the lawsuit was only brought by New Jersey and Minnesota, the “larger coalition that will be working together includes 16 states in total,” the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said to Newsweek. These states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as Washington, D.C. [More]

As long as the Supreme Court lets them get away with infringements, it will only get worse.

Until the Justice Department steps up and defends all civil rights from state denials, the only “legal” defense will be what the gun groups can scrape up from the same overburdened donors. I’m afraid Pam Bondi has established a record of being more the type that defends employer infringements. My guess is Trump is more interested in what she can do to squash bugs like Bragg.

Send in the Clowns

Accordingly, “Miller stood for the proposition ‘that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as 3 short-barreled shotguns’ [More]

That’s not what Miller said at all.

He’s not through with the clown act:

While a silencer may be a firearm accessory, it is not a “bearable arm” that is capable of casting a bullet.

Neither was my “machinegun,” or “high capacity” magazines, or braces, or 80% receivers, or…

And again, “common use” is proving to be a trap.

It’s way past time to pasture this senile old “Reagan Republican.

Mark W. Smith analyzes.

Ghosts of Michigan

Legislation approved in the Michigan Senate would ban the manufacturing, assembling, selling, purchasing, importing and possessing of firearms or firearm parts that don’t have a valid serial number. [More]

So you not only can’t make them, you can’t keep what you already have.

That goes for you, too, illegals

Maybe this’ll get Detroit’s number up to “2”

Reminding the servants of their place would be so much more satisfying if we could order them to clear out.
