Once More Unto the Breach

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed several gun-control measures on Tuesday, including a bill that tightens the state’s concealed-carry rules and another that imposes a new tax on firearm and ammunition sales. [More]

If they’re already rated “A,” and since he’s still trying for even more, what further proof is needed that it will never be enough for these totalitarian freaks?

Of course, they’re talking about taking your guns.

NMSSA Update September 21, 2023

First, our lawsuit and the Temporary Restraining Order are still in place. The governor has amended her public health order, but we have not withdrawn our lawsuit and the hearing on October 3rd for the injunction is still scheduled to happen. We commissioned a poll through a professional polling firm on how the New Mexico electorate views her order, and we found broad, bipartisan opposition to her order. We also found that 91% of New Mexicans believed the problem with crime is criminals, not guns. [More]

Rational people try to clean up a crazy lady’s mess.

Blue-Skying

If … we trust you enough to drive a motor vehicle and register your driver’s license right and we’re going to opt you in to be a voter why not also opt these people in to carry guns under ccw permitting system so they get their own card that they can use across the country in relevant states that recognize through the reciprocity system those Concealed Carry Permits that are in your wallet…? [Watch]

It’s an interesting and creative thought but it’s dependent on reversing Democrat majorities and even then would be tied up in the courts for years waiting for a Supreme Court of as yet unknown composition to first agree to hear a case and then rule favorably on it.

Besides, reciprocity becomes a moot point as citizens, per SCOTUS in Dred Scott, have “the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

That and it’s hard to see how having more people voting favors anyone but ignorance-dependent Democrats. Me, I think Gov. Shapiro just signed the death warrant for PA Republican representation.

And based on his subversive gun betrayals, I think it’s deliberate sabotage by an embedded enemy.

Making It Personal

…Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert signed an executive order banning all firearms on city property … This executive action was taken following a move by the city council to strike the previous city ordinances on firearms. This was done to comply with the new statewide preemption law that takes effect on Saturday, along with constitutional carry. [More]

And naturally, “The only exceptions to this order are for law enforcement, contracted security personnel, recreational shotgun use at the Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet facility, and those granted exemption by the Chief of Police.”

This is why claiming to be a Republican can never be enough.

I guess if hubby couldn’t be trusted with a gun, you can’t, either. Or is it bad form to point that out, even if it looks like she moved on soon enough?

Partial Faith and Credit

People shouldn’t lose their National constitutional rights whenever they venture into other states. If you have a … a First Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state. If you have a Second Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state because these are these are rights that are enshrined in our national Bill of Rights… and there wasn’t a whole lot of discussion about it but there is brief mention of the Full Faith and Credit Clause. I always thought that that would be a very very good argument going forward for … every state. If you got a license or permit issued by your state, I mean, what is holding these other states back from recognizing these licenses…? [Watch]

What are these “licenses” and “permits” so many ostensibly on “our side” are so ready to legitimize as a good thing?

We’re past that stage. What were once viewed by some as incremental building blocks have turned into undeniable stumbling blocks.

The very term “reciprocity” is unconstitutional, offensive and absurd in the context of rights.

‘Wherever They Went’

Especially in light of SCOTUS in Dred Scott:

“It would give to persons … who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

It doesn’t “give” anything, but the rest is what the understanding was.

So much for “permits” or any level of government having “reciprocity” approval authority. So much for “sensitive areas.”

We’re the Only Ones Asking Enough

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office published a post on Twitter and Facebook stating Florida’s new permit-less concealed carry law “requires” law enforcement to question people who are carrying concealed firearms & weapons to verify their eligibility. The law makes no such requirement, and JSO was directly challenged regarding this unconscionable lie. JSO subsequently revised the post text to read that law enforcement “may” ask questions regarding one’s eligibility. [More]
