We’re the Only Ones All Thumbs Enough

Appeals Court Rules That Cops Can Physically Make You Unlock Your Phone – The 9th Circuit determined that forcibly mashing a suspect’s thumb into his phone to unlock it was akin to fingerprinting him at the police station. [More]

Boy, will they be p!$$ed when they see this app…

Oh, wait…

The Shape of Things to Come

NYC to test gun detecting systems in subways amid security push [More]

And if they can have them there, why not Everywhere, in Everytown? If you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, what’s to keep you from trampling on the Fourth?

After all, it’s for the greater good.

My first thought was of ways criminals and terrorists will defeat this, starting with preferential embedded assets.

They ought to carry a collapsible pole in their trunk, and plenty of dollar bills…. maybe play a club mix over the PA…

Or “The Weight of the Badge“…

We’re the Only Ones Tyrannical Enough

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]

Seems about right.

They figure we know their intentions well enough by now to where they don’t need to add the “ant” at the end.

We’re the Only Ones Listing Enough

Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s director of federal affairs, told POLITICO the group “is closely tracking the FISA loophole allowing federal law enforcement to buy lists of gun owners and concealed carry permit holders without a warrant or regard for the Second and Fourth Amendments.” [More]

The oath-breakers are bound and determined to build that confiscation database.

We’re the Only Ones Rummaging Enough

The FBI violated the Fourth Amendment when its agents rifled through the contents of more than 700 safe-deposit boxes in the aftermath of a March 2021 raid, a panel of federal appeals court judges ruled unanimously on Tuesday. [More]

And the reason every damn one of those oath-breaking, jackbooted fascists isn’t behind bars…?

We’re the Only Ones Nosing Around Enough

Here, it just seems that the court is either creeped out by dogs sniffing butts or particularly protective of the embarrassment of body odor. [More]

I’m creeped out by anyone presuming authority to do that to me. And I’m further creeped out by the ones who give their dogs secret cue signals.

Big Brother is Watching You

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.

Thinking Outside the Dox

…Indiana Superior Court Judge John M. Sedia denied an order to quash subpoenas for records maintained by several large Indiana gun dealers. [More]

Who does he think he is?

Inextricably Bound

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.

Hey, If You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong…

House Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed a vote on two bills relating to FISA Section 702 extension and reform, making it likely that the unconstitutional Section 702 will be renewed without change until April 2024. [More]

Well, that didn’t take long.

So… friend of my enemy, right…?

Appeals Court Rules California Can Continue Doxing Gun Owners to Agenda ‘Researchers’

That “misuse” can be deliberate by activists gone wild or due to lax/incompetent security protocols. And it’s not like sensitive and supposedly secure government systems at the highest levels can’t be breached and hacked by anyone, from cyber criminals to foreign enemies. It’s not like names, addresses, and lists don’t have real-world street value, and it would be just like the prohibitionists to have their efforts actually increase violence and its incentives.
