Best and Final Offer
“So we have a best alternative to a negotiated agreement. Our BATNA is that we are going to stop all other gun control work and focus all our resources on a campaign to repeal the Second Amendment. We have a template for that; the amendment outlawing alcoholic beverages was passed and a decade later that Amendment was repealed. We are either going to get your commitment to allow our democratically produced local and state laws honored or we will end our negotiations and begin a massive campaign to overturn the Second Amendment.” [More]
No.
I think I may have found my next article.

‘Community Standards’
The Best Defense?
In defending gun control laws in Illinois and other states, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul recognizes the challenges posed by recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent on the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
Attacking rights is now considered “defending”?
The biggest challenge is to run out the clock until SCOTUS can be repurposed.

Unrestrained Tyranny
Today, Judge Adrienne Nelson, denied our request for a restraining order to delay the implementation of HB 2005, the bill banning the ownership of privately made firearms. [More]
I trust no one believed a judge who has been appointed by Kate Brown and nominated by Joe Biden was going to give gun owners an even break?
Crossing the Line
New Hampshire residents who carry their legally owned guns when passing through Massachusetts should not be charged with any crimes, Attorney General John Formella argued in a brief supporting a legal challenge from two state residents facing criminal charges in the Bay State. [More]
Enjoy these arguments while you can. If Kamala wins, remaking SCOTUS and reversing Bruen will be top priorities.

The Comstock Load
The cracks in Trump’s political dam widened into a steady leak this week after former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) announced that she would cast her ballot for Harris in November. [More]
The only conclusion is that Barbara Comstock is a LIAR.

It shouldn’t neeed to be explained that both sides can’t be accommodated when their goals are antithetical, and that anyone relying on cognitive dissonance is a gaslighting swindler.
Rural Fairs Banning Self-Defense with Guns

Do you know the rules in your state, and when fair promoters are playing fast and loose with them?
As Opposed to HypOmasculinity, I Suppose…
In my attempt to come to an understanding why so many people oppose and resist common sense firearms safety regulations, I have developed a proposition that regulations on firearms challenge the promises of a patriarchal system based on notions of hypermasculinity with the elements taken to the extreme of control, domination over others and the environment, competitiveness, autonomy, rugged individualism, strength, toughness, forcefulness, and decisiveness, and, of course, never having to ask for help or assistance.

As long as he’s taking us there, why does the phrase “Ribbed for HIS pleasure” come to mind?
The Sum of Its Parts
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in a case challenging the ATF’s “Final Rule” equating firearms parts kits and gun components with functioning firearms. [More]
Let’s hope they’re right that “the Supreme Court will not allow that to happen.”
Calling All Fetishists and Zealots
“There were too many,” he concludes plainly. There are still too many. It is as simple as that. [More]
Imagine a world without them. Now imagine obnoxious, judgmental, closed-minded, self-righteous, and provincial-in-their-bubbles Becca Rothfeld and Andrew C. McKevitt in that world.
Still, there is useful information here — the early goals of “suburban housewives” prove that “commonsense gun safety laws” are a lie and the object is citizen disarmament with a government monopoly of violence. And the efforts of domestic manufacturers to demand banning cheap foreign competition explains much in how the industry will always put profit over rights.

Misdemeanor or not, “domestic battery” is a lifetime gun ban, which is just the way NRA President Bob Barr likes it.
And If You Act Now…
The ATF has begun the embarrassing process of returning bump stocks to their original owners after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the agency wrongfully determined they were machineguns, but only if the owners act within 90 days. The ATF sent letters titled “Notice of Opportunity to Request Return of Bump Stock(s) in ATF Custody” last week. They include an address in Washington, D.C. and an email that the former owners can contact to arrange for the return of their property. Once the requests are processed, the letter states, “you will be contacted by someone from the local ATF field office to arrange retrieval of your bump stock(s).” [More]
Just a few days ago agents I spoke with told me they were forfeited.

Parkland (MSD shooting) father minimizes Trump getting shot and mocks him [More]
My guess is he was an @$$hole before his tragedy.
I’m sorry for his horrible and unimaginable loss, but it’s not my fault. My natural human sympathy does not mean I will remain passive when he and other surviving family members attack my right to protect myself and my loved ones.
An attacker’s motivation never outweighs my right to repel him.
