All It Takes is One Robed Traitor

A victory for Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham in court, at least for now, in the fight over her controversial gun ban. A federal court denied the preliminary injunction against the governor’s health order, allowing for the enforcement against carrying guns in public parks and playgrounds. [More]

John Crump explains:

He reasoned that the founding era was not the ratification date of the Second Amendment. He claimed the founding era was started in 1868 during the reconstruction era when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified. At that time, gun laws were being passed in the South to prevent formerly enslaved people from obtaining firearms. These racist gun laws are the ones that Judge Urias used in his decision.

Why would he do that, you ask…?

He was nominated by President Joe Biden (D)…

That’s a lot of Republicans who didn’t bother to vote.

Carry On

The biggest win was stopping the “private building consent rule,” which declares all private property that is open to the public to be a prohibited place—unless the property owner expressly allows individuals to enter the premises with a firearm… The court also enjoined the ban on carrying in a place where alcoholic beverages were consumed from taking effect… And the court prevented the ban on carrying at public demonstrations from taking effect.

But “may issue” is still “may not”…?

Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

This kind of pandering to the base to score political points actually does harm, as it distracts attention from more achievable priorities we should be paying attention to/sharing.

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.

“Unless we enshrine a Right to Safety in the Constitution, we are at the mercy of ideologues like Judge Benitez… This is exactly why I’ve called for a Constitutional amendment, and this is why I’ll keep fighting to defend our right to protect ourselves from gun violence.” [More]

How do YOU do it, liar, if not with 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?

You want to cry foul, cry foul.

I owe no sympathy to someone who demands I obey their terms of surrender or else and put my life and the lives of those I love at risk.

And you’ll note NRA didn’t dare tell you about this.

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.”
