If They Can Do It to Him…

A New Jersey attorney who was denied a gun permit is suing Springfield Township and its police department in federal district court, alleging they violated his right to bear arms because of pro-Palestinian social media posts…. In records that Saadeh obtained through the state Open Public Records Act, police wrote that granting the permit renewal “would not be in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare because the person is found to be lacking the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.” [More]

Don’t stop there. Sue them for libel.

And no, I’ve changed no positions. I’m only going on facts presented and extrapolating from there while channeling my inner Thomas More.

We’re the Only Ones Diagnostic Enough

When gun owners apply for concealed carry permits in Mecklenburg County, sheriff’s office background checks have sometimes turned up sensitive health information, including whether a person has had an abortion or has a sexually transmitted disease… The sheriff’s office, through a spokesperson, said the agency has no control over what information health providers choose to send. In a statement, MCSO said the records sent are dependent on the provider’s discretion. [More]

They can’t specify the information they want? And the providers don’t have policies and procedures in place approved by their risk managment departments to only provide what is required by law?

And why the hell is this required by law anyway?

It’s Showtime!

The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a third Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, B&L Productions v. Newsom, for conference on Friday, Jan. 24. The case challenges California’s statutes which ban gun shows on state-owned property. Because the gun shows at issue are not only opportunities to view and purchase firearms, but also for like-minded individuals to assemble and share ideas, the case presents questions about both the First and Second Amendments. [More]

Having followed this issue for many years, I say apathetic gun show attendees own their share of the mess they’ve allowed. They’re no doubt part of the majority that don’t contribute to efforts like this to clean up that mess.

Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. Has Yuge ‘But’

Based on the record and arguments in this case. the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the Second Amendment would require this Court—as counseled by the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment decisions—to declare the parks issue in Plaintiffs’ favor.’ But… [More]

A small concession aside, the “but” is all you need to know.

That and he’s one of those Trump judges we’ve been led to believe would turn things around.

Fitting the Profile

“I’ve been suicidal for a long time, and when I saw that the leaked draft, it made me upset and then it made me want to, I don’t know,” Roske said. “I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him.” Roske said another motivating factor was that he heard the Supreme Court was going to loosen gun restrictions, which would make it easier for people to acquire guns. [More]

So… a typical gun-grabber…?

Schadenfreude X 2

Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station. [More]

So, someone who wants to “make gun control an absolute PRIORITY???!!!” found herself defenseless in a situation she wants to force more people into?

I’m trying to find some sympathy. I know I left it lying around here someplace…

I don’t suppose the French or Tunisians want her back…?

Parting Shots

National Firearms Commerce and Trafficking Assessment (NFCTA): Protecting America from Trafficked Firearms – Volume Four [More]

That’s one way to describe imposing unconstitutional infringements using force of arms…

Dettlebach just can’t resist being an irritant for as long as he can.

So… what can/should we expect from the new guy?

An Innocent Man

Major 2A win in Ohio involving an individual indicted for possessing a firearm while under indictment for crime of which he was never convicted. [Watch]

If I’m reading this right, (Republican) prosecutor Melissa Powers evidently believes Ohioans elected a Republican majority so that she could deny the Second Amendment to a man whose robbery indictment was dismissed.

That’ll be useful to know if she ever seeks higher office.

Playing with Fire

California wildfires: Outrage as looters slammed for trying to ‘steal from residents’… The identities of the suspects and details of their alleged crimes have not yet been released. [More]

Why not? What’s the politically inconvenient motive behind authorities not sharing known information?

This is why I’m against not naming names.

I don’t suppose — this being L.A. — a homeowner could just shoot them…?

Tangentially-Related UPDATES:

And, of course, dinosaur DSM is blaming the fires on “climate change.”

It’s not like any alternative explanations suggest themselves…

And:

Hint: It’s Not ‘Climate Change.’

The Bottom Line

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has emerged as a late and leading contender to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, three Republicans familiar with the process say. [More]

I have a bad feeling about this:

Husted did not clarify the difference between what he supports and a red flag law. “The bottom line is Governor DeWine and I support second amendment rights,” said Husted. “We support freedom loving Americans who want to exercise those rights, but we also want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are not legally allowed to own them.”

We know that doesn’t work.

Aligning himself with DeWine is a big red flag in itself.

Paging Tommy Lee…

Montenegro Considers ‘Complete’ Gun Ban After 12 Shot Dead [More]

You know what? Montenegro? I don’t give a damn. Let ’em. Fools.

And you know going after the “illegal” ones means they’re mostly going to persecute nonviolent citizens who want to protect themselves in spite of all the bull$h!+ restrictions.

Speaking of Much Ado About Nothing

H.R. 129: To abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives… 2% chance of being enacted [More]

Told ya.

Just more self-serving noise that distracts from doing the doable.

And I note there’s no text yet, but here’s one reality you can take to the bank: The only thing that will change is the men behind the masks enforcing NFA, GCA, Hughes, Lautenberg, and all the other infringements.
