Back Monday

I have to go out of state for a few days.

Please hold off on email tips. Comment moderation will be delayed until I return.

UPDATE

But before I go, I just got these in the mail:

The April issue of Firearms News and the May/June issue of American Handgunner are out, both featuring articles by yours truly, and both available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic.

  • FN: Will Present Legal Arguments Undermine Future Efforts to Restore Second Amendment? (p. 12)
  • AH: ‘Gun Owners for Trump’ Should be More than Campaign Window Dressing (p.73). This is my first piece for them, and they’ve asked me back.

Slow Going Ahead

I’ll be leaving at first light on Thursday for an out of state funeral. Among other things, that means I won’t be posting news tips until next week, so please hold off on them. Comments received after tomorrow will have to wait several days to be approved.

I’m going to limit posting here on Wednesday to publicizing an article, assuming Ammoland posts it before I leave. Otherwise I’m spending the day working on a new piece.

DOJ Investigation into California Gun Law Patterns and Practices Should be Expanded

A new request for DOJ investigation has been filed detailing Second Amendment and civil rights violations inherent in Illinois’ Firearms Owner Identification card (FOID) requirement. [More]

They showed deliberate indifference to the first civil rights complaint. Perhaps an adjusted attitude will allow them to consider this one.

Guns for Me But Not for Thee

Cory Booker staffer arrested for carrying gun on Capitol grounds as senator holds floor for more than 19 hours…“Senator Booker’s office employs a retired Newark police detective as a New Jersey-based driver who often accompanies him to events.” [More]

So, Gunsense Cory, who wants to disarm you, employs an illegally armed bodyguard…? And grinning idiots are fine with that?

Hypocrite…

Friends of the Court vs. Friends of the Devil

Attorney General McCuskey leads SCOTUS amicus brief challenging D.C.’s high-capacity magazine and assault weapons ban [More]

This…

And significantly better than and different from a case we discussed yesterday:

III.Courts Are Incorrectly Analogizing …11

A.The Second Amendment Goes Beyond The Individual Right To Self-Defense … 12

B.Narrowing Heller To Only Self-Defense Leads To Poor Analogical Reasoning … 15

Ignoring Core Purpose Makes 2nd Amendment More Vulnerable to Infringements: The Militia Aspect, Part 1 and Part 2.

The only question left: Why can’t Pam Bondi file an amicus brief supporting this?

Like a Poll Tax for Guns

SAF and its partners contend that the state’s 6.5% excise tax on the retail sale of any firearm, firearm precursor part, or ammunition is unconstitutional in that it impermissibly singles out the exercise of a constitutional right for special taxation. [More]

Absolutely right.

Now go after what NSSF “celebrates.”

The Right Way and the Wrong Way

“The way they’re pulling up with masks on, with unmarked vehicles, no badge, no nothing. It could be anybody. It can be gang members. You have every right to shoot at them,” he continued. “This would be the best self-defense case. You’re just in fear for your life. You don’t know who’s behind that unmarked vehicle or who’s behind that mask.” [More]

He’s kinda got a point.

A Stern Warning

Germany’s Stern Magazine Calls For Conscription Of Young People To Take Up Arms “To Defend Diversity” In Pro-War Propaganda Piece [More]

That’s an easy call for self-interested establishment flacks who won’t have to go themselves.

Who feels obligated to expend treasure and young American lives for these maniacs?

Because we are.

And if they keep screwing things up over there, expect the draft boards here to reactivate.

Washington shakes his head.

We’re the Only Ones Domestically Violent Enough

Mayle grabbed the victim by the back of the head and slammed her head into the windshield, as well, police said. Once they arrived home, the argument progressed, and the victim went to the bedroom and locked herself in it, court documents say. She was actively on the phone with 911 at the time when Mayle forced his way through the door, grabbed her by her throat, slammed her up into the door and then down onto the bed, police said. [More]

Don’t worry that he’s bonded out. I’m sure there’s a gun ban and restraining order in effect.

Hey, what’s the left been telling us about white Christian Mayles…?

An Open Secret

The Secret Plan to Strike Down US Gun Laws [More]

It’s a fascinating read with a lot of heretofore unexposed infomation. Just keep in mind Mother Jones’ trademark hatred of 2A, and the use if inuendo, ad hominem, and hypocrisy when attacking the “pro-gun” side when it uses the same tactics as the AstroTurfers.

Besides, it’s not like the Constitutional Defense Fund isn’t complying with the law…

The Oldest Trick in the Book

Why Do Democrats Love Violence? [More]

Because spooking the herd produces bleatings for control…? And because they get off on it?

This resolution ought to be thrown in the faces of every Democrat and gun grab group that endorses them as yet another example where their hatred takes priority over their false rhetoric against violence and for the environment.

And Now… the Rest of the Story

What the DOGErs Keep Finding at Social Security Explains the Progressive Spasms [More]

So, when Democrats tell us heartless billionaire unelected President Musk is stealing Social Security benefits from the elderly on fixed incomes, they’re really just lying to keep their crimes from being exposed…?

NSSF’s Happy Talk®

“Today’s gun owners are representative of America because they come from every part of American society. We don’t all look the same or talk the same, but we share the very important idea that safe and lawful firearm ownership is our right.” [More]

We don’t all vote the same either, do we, Joe?

And define “lawful.”

It’s not about guns. It’s about freedom.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

A man killed a father-of-one just hours after being released early from prison under the government’s scheme to reduce overcrowding. [More]

And evidently, because guns, knives, and ninja swords are banned, he used an assault chisel in an act of chisel violence.

Malcolm explains…

As an aside, if this is the flower of British manhood, the degraded culture has done the conquerors’ work for them.

Tangentially Related UPDATE

A doctor found by a tribunal to have raped a young woman at his home avoided being struck off over what the panel described as a “one-off” attack. [More]

Now turn your head and cough.

Do You Know Who I Am? Anti-Gun Mayor Busted for DUI

It’s not hyperbole to conclude this drunk’s “passion” includes denying her countrymen God-given rights enshrined in a document she swore an oath to uphold. [More]

Who wants to submit their rights to the control of elitist reprobates who can’t– or won’t — control themselves?

The Intentionally Ignored Prefatory Clause

“In our brief,” Kraut noted, “we remind the court that repeating arms predate the Second Amendment by roughly three centuries, and that semiautomatic firearms were invented in 1885. Likewise, detachable box magazines came along back in 1862. Despite technological advances over the past 200 years, neither the sale nor possession of repeating arms of any capacity were ever banned in the United States.” [More]

So they’re putting all their eggs in the “common use” basket and ignoring the Militia completely…?
