A Matter of Trust

Bexar County court records show Diaz has four other gun-related charges stemming from different incidents dating back to 2015. [More]

So, if he’s proven he can’t be trusted with a gun, what can’t he be trusted without?

No social order that denies basic truths can endure, and that seems to be the age we find ourselves in.

Blood on Their Hands

The loudest voices politicizing this tragedy are those who attempted to derail vital public services for the severely mentally ill. [More]

They’re also the loudest voices againstthe law” and for disarming the rest of us.

UPDATE

Young American men will be taught the hard way that selflessness, courage, and their masculine instincts will get them 20 to life in prison. [More]

And thanks to “progressives,” everyone loses!

This is Your Government. This is Your Government on Drugs.

This part is known and may be cited as the “Safeguard Against Homicidal Side Effects Act.” [More]

So what needs to happen if someone can’t be trusted with a gun? Since when is the Constitutional solution to do an end run around the due p[rcess necessary to make that happen?

Guns & Gadgets calls it “the most discriminating bill ever.”

What the hell’s going on with Tennessee?

All That ‘Common Sense’ Just Ignored…

Investigators confirmed the Jeep had been stolen less than 48 hours earlier. They found a stolen AR-style pistol on the backseat and a .357-caliber Glock 32 under the passenger seat. Both weapons had large-capacity magazines. [More]

If only there were some kind of law for people who can’t be trusted with guns…

Until then, they expect you and me to give up ours.

Double-Plus-Ungood

The devices, commonly called Glock switches or auto sears, are already illegal under the federal National Firearms Act. [More]

And now they’ll be even more illegal!

What anyone who’s proven he can’t be trusted with these is doing without a custodian is left unsaid.

Without a Custodian

According to court documents, investigators with the Illinois State Police entered a Jack in the Box restaurant in Collinsville in April 2022 to question Ross on an unrelated matter. Ross, who had a gun hidden in his waistband, attempted to hide the firearm under the deep fryer at the restaurant. At the time, Ross was on parole in Missouri for a 2018 robbery conviction. [More]

So he was working an honest job and had behaved himself for four years after the state had declared him safe enough to release back into the community…?

There Goes the Boyfriend Loophole!

The question presented in this case is not whether prohibiting the
possession of firearms by someone subject to a domestic violence restraining order is a laudable policy goal. The question is whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), a specific statute that does so, is constitutional under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. In the light of N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022), it is not. [More]

If only there were a better way

To Be or Not to Be

Most gun deaths are suicides. Could this law help prevent them? [More]

Let’s ask the “gun-free” Japanese!

Thoughts on filling out the form:

  • You’re admitting you’re not of sound mind. Yet somehow it’s sound enough to form a “binding legal contract”?
  • Say you want to stop “volunteering”– can it be used as evidence to initiate a “red flag” ban by people who object? By who?
  • If I were an FFL and someone who’d placed himself on the list came in with proof of being ‘free and clear,” in today’s litigious “knew or should have known” world I still would not put myself at risk by selling him a gun.
  • The real problem here is nobody wants to observe the law.
