California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves [More]
That report on you…
I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen legislation that abrogates so many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights in one edict.
But…but…but it’s for the greater good…

Investigators were likely seeking to bring facial recognition analysis to bear on the video to produce a composite image of a suspect that they can run against a national database that includes all U.S. drivers with RealID licenses, according to a former FBI agent. [More]
Assuming you want to fly anywhere or need to access any federal facilities, that’s a requirement. Kinda like a mark…
Add the Eye of Sauron and you people had best behave yourselves.
Just like the Founders intended, right there clear as day over in article/section… uh… gimme a minute…

Many people were not just surprised but quite shocked and alarmed to learn that what they thought was merely their own personal security system now has the ability to link with countless other Ring cameras to form a neighborhood-wide (or city-wide, or state-wide) surveillance dragnet. [More]
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
This bill addresses the justified use of force. Highlighted Provisions: This bill: requires an individual to report using force; and establishes that an individual must report use of force in order to receive a pretrial justification hearing. [More]
“Use or threatened use”…? Not much room for nuance there…
What happened to “Don’t talk to the police“?
And why the “need”?
The bill is in response to a high-profile fatal road rage shooting.
I can identify with not reporting afterward.
Brought to you by not just a Republican, but one that comes highly recommended:
Funny…

Law enforcement agencies will soon have easier access to footage captured by Amazon’s Ring smart cameras. In a partnership announced this week, Amazon will allow approximately 5,000 local law enforcement agencies to request access to Ring camera footage via surveillance platforms from Flock Safety. Ring’s cooperation with law enforcement and the reported use of Flock technologies by federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has resurfaced privacy concerns that have followed the devices for years.

Hey, if you have nothing to hide and haven’t done anything wrong, what’s the problem?

Boston firefighter faces over 40 charges after failing to turn over firearms following a restraining order [More]
Of interest from the video:
He initially lied about having weapons, but his defense attorney explains those firearms weren’t registered. He hadn’t done them on time.
So if he’d complied with the order and produced the guns, that would have been self-incriminating.
Didn’t the Supreme Court already weigh in on that?
Anybody know who is his attorney is, and if he knows about this?
Ah, here we go.
All we can do is offer:

The US Court of Appeals, 6th Circuit, has ruled in a case involving a Sheriff’s Department which confiscated 14 guns and has refused to return them to the alleged owners. [Watch]
I’m assuming the claimants did not obtain their firearms through an FFL.
So, if you bought your guns through private sales and you don’t register them with the state, you’re effectively presumed “guilty” until you can prove your “innocence”…? It’s not up to the Only Ones who took them from your home to prove they’re not yours…? And it’s not like the value of the guns is worth a protracted series of battles through the courts.
If I had any guns I bought, say, back in 1977 from a co-worker whose last name I can’t even remember anymore and who may be long dead for all I know, they could take them from me if a guest acted up. The only reasons that could never happen is I don’t know any cowardly bullies with anger management problems and would never allow them in my house if I did, plus, as we’ve long established, I would never own a gun — evil, nasty things things always going around killing people…

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) have filed their opening brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, challenging California’s sweeping surveillance mandate on firearm dealers. This appeal is part of the ongoing case against Cal. Penal Code Section 26806, which forces all FFLs—including home-based dealers—to install 24/7 video and audio recording systems to surveil customers, and then retain that data for warrantless inspection by the state.

Democrats to Orwell: Hold our beer.
Hey… any law against putting that poster next to the cameras?
“If you had just told me that that night, I never would have arrested you.” [Watch]
So he says. But cops are allowed to lie. But say the lead investigator was a “good” one- you have no way of knowing that or if he’s a typical “Only One” trying to find something to hang you with. A couple days in jail is nothing compared to what you could get railroaded into. And don’t even try and pull “a few bad apples” around here.
The best advice is still “Don’t talk to the police.” But do tell your attorney EVERYTHING.
Sounds like this kid had a crappy one, because if the DGU really was that cut and dried, a competent lawyer would have gotten his client absolved without gambling with risks…

I especially like the way they credit “then-Governor Rick Scott and a Republican dominated legislature” to get the ball rolling for the rest of the country.

In 2025, several new gun laws will go into effect in California. [More]
More attacks on RKBA, due process, self-incrimination protections, and privacy rights, while dragooning dealers into spreading the state’s terms of surrender…
You’ve got to scroll down to find them. The “real reporter” figured we needed to hear Kamala and Joe prove they’re cluelsss how the election went and demand more infringements on everybody first because of Madison.
Question about Sec. 34210: Do you see anything in there prohibiting dealers from putting a stamp on the pamphlet warning customers it’s state-mandated bull$h!+? I guess if they wanna stay open, because the vindictive bastards don’t neeed laws to persecute…

Under the banner of establishing global governance in the metaverse, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is pushing digital ID for all users, so all blended reality interactions and transactions can be tracked-and-traced. [More]
Hey, if you aren’t doing anything wrong… and it’s not like systems are ever hacked.
If only there were a way to control the aftermath, because some things really do call for French Revolution solutions…

Kinda defeats the whole point…
Did they check with the Supreme Court on that for Fifth Amendment self-incrimination violations?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is initiating Project Tyr, an effort in its infancy to employ Amazon’s artificial intelligence-driven Rekognition cloud service to identify firearms—among other things—and the people associated with them. [More]
They figure we know their intentions well enough by now to where they don’t need to add the “ant” at the end.

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit in California challenging that state’s law requiring firearms dealers to video record all transactions, calling it a violation of First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. [More]
What’s that saying about 1984 being an instruction manual…?
Democrats are literally totalitarians.
Gun owners are America’s fastest-growing criminal class. One state after another is enacting “Show us the gun and we’ll find the crime” laws. Judges and politicians are justifying mass disarmament in the name of “freedom from fear” — as if no one will be safe until government controls every trigger. Federal agencies consider all 20+ million marijuana users who own firearms to be felons (unless their last name is Biden). Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden both retroactively outlawed widely-owned firearm accessories, creating new legions of potential jailbirds. At the same time many federal agencies are stockpiling automatic weapons, Biden calls for banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles owned by 50 million Americans. [More]
And as you can see from the other Intolerable Acts presented, it’s not just about RKBA.
That’s the problem with the “single issue” cop-out. Because those doing it know damn well it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.
