Rights Free Zones

Pursuant to Rule 29 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the States of New York, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawai‘i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia submit this brief as amici curiae in support of the appellee, the United States of America, and ask this Court to reaffirm the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(3), which makes it unlawful to transfer or receive a firearm from out of state, except through a federally licensed firearms dealer, importer, or manufacturer.

What “infringemwent”? This is “commnonsense safety.”

So, just the Second Amendment or does the rest of the Bill of Rights threaten “exercis[ing] their police power,” too…?

BATFE Slapping

Today, attorneys for Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a merits-stage Respondents’ brief with the United States Supreme Court in FPC’s Garland v. VanDerStok lawsuit challenging ATF’s “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms” Rule. FPC’s brief, available at FPCLaw.org, explains why the government’s Rule cannot survive scrutiny and must fail. [More]

Here it is…

Mark W. Smith of The Four Boxes Diner breaks it down for us.

How Much of an Issue?

The revelation that Washington State, for the first time in history, has more than 700,000 active concealed pistol licenses is proof the public is concerned about personal and community safety, and will be an issue in this year’s statewide elections, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is predicting.

Anybody expecting armed Dems to change their vote?

Race to the Top

A challenge against Maryland’s gun ban is likely to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court before gun ban challenges from other states. [More]

Sadly, all the high court has to do to let it stand is nothing.

If they do hear it, it will be a game-changer, but it will still leave the more fundamentally destructive NFA and Hughes Amendment in play.

Then there are the questions of when will they hear such a case, and who will be in power and appointing justices?

Life in the TINVOWOOT Zone

Gun owners have taken the first step toward putting before Massachusetts voters a proposal to repeal the firearms law signed on July 25 by Gov. Maura Healey, a statute the governor called the “most significant gun safety legislation in a decade.” [More]

Yeah, about that…

If “we” lose in November, that zone will expand.

Ultimate Fudd Walz Represents Worst of ‘Enemies Inside the Gates’

Also unexplored is what Walz told NRA to get their endorsement. People with sincere, core knowledge-based freedom principles don’t abandon them in favor of emotion-based demands for coercive prohibitions against allies they’d pledged allegiance to. A release of his questionnaire would be instrumental in showing just how much the guy is willing to lie for political power. [More]

It’s not the first time Walz campaigned in a camo hat. Any Fudd kapo dumb enough to vote for this fraud deserves to have his guns taken away.

ATF Returns Bump Stock to Rightful Owner After Five-Year Legal Struggle

This is a small but concrete example that we still have at our disposal the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders and that we can still use the courts to our advantage, as frustratingly drawn out as that process can be. We won’t be able to do that anymore if apathy and cynicism turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy that cedes the power to appoint the federal judiciary to the Democrats, who will then be able to have the Bruen opinion reversed and any citizen disarmament edict they pass upheld. [More]

As long as we can still score wins by peaceable means you can’t legitimately say voting is useless. Don’t let a self-fulfilling prophecy make this the election that changes that.

His Heart’s in the Right Place. Will Head Ever Follow?

Trump asked at Mar-A-Lago presser if his view on AR-15 has changed following assassination attempt [48:43]

It’s about more than personal protection and I don’t believe the “Chicago has the toughest gun laws” assumption still stands.

I cannot stress stongly enough, Gun Owners for Trump need his ear. If they’re just there for show and he’s going to keep knee-jerking because he knows best, we won’t have a president who actually understands why “shall not be infringed” are the most important words for government to heed.

Something in Common

“Commonly owned,” “typically possessed” and “ordinary” are key words here. [More]

And “commonly owned,” “typically possessed” and “ordinary” by and for whom is the key question here.

Last I looked, it wasn’t “the right of the people to keep and bear commonly owned, typically possessed and ordinary arms shall not be infringed.” That attitude will result in 2A being rendered a moot point.

You’d think our NSSF “leaders” would know that.

Cheering on the Existential Threat

“We know our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it: comprehensive reform. That includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship,” Harris said. [More]

That includes 30 million + new Democrats. It does not include the concerns of traditional gun-owning Americans.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
