“The City has banned an arm in common use for lawful purposes by law-abiding citizens. Therefore, the Ordinance violates the Second Amendment.”

That’s not why the ban violates it. [More]

If something needs to be officially designated “popular” by government in order to be “legal,” we may as well start calling each other “Comrade.”

The Brown Bess Loophole

You ought to see the damage unregulated assault weapons from an even earlier time were capable of! And they were all “in common use at the time”!

What can I say but “Associated Press“…?

Creepy-lookin’ old f_, isn’t he? The leg shackles are a nice touch…

As always, be aware of how commonplace this phenomenon is because one day you may need an “I didn’t believe he was a real cop” defense.

All This Can Be Yours

Newsstand: West Virginia’s Machine Gun Litmus Test for States Claiming Second Amendment Allegiance, Ramaswamy’s Ohio Governor Bid and the 2A, Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor: The Real Deal When It Comes to Guns. These stories by Darwin Nercessian and David Codrea. [More]

I already posted my Shameless Plug.

Who is he? What are his interests? How has the media vetted him for credibility?

Keystone Cop-Outs

Democratic Pennsylvania state Rep. Dan Frankel introduced HB 2506 Monday, which would wipe out the state’s firearms preemption law, allowing local governments to enact their own restrictions on how gun owners could carry, transport, purchase or possess firearms. The legislation, introduced alongside HB 2505, also would repeal the state’s version of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, potentially opening gun manufacturers to lawsuits over the actions of criminals.

I can’t argue with his indictments. It’s just that I see no viable movement with a plan, organization, supporters, and resources to make this work any better than last time.

Inconstant Heart

The Trump Administration Is a Powerful but Unreliable Ally of Second Amendment Advocates – Even as the Justice Department files lawsuits aimed at vindicating gun rights, it undermines them in other cases. [More]
