Today in History

On this day in 1836, which happened to be Palm Sunday, at least 342 Texans were executed by firing squad at Goliad. The Texans considered these men prisoners of war, whereas General Santa Anna thought them “perfidious foreigners.” [More]

Whereas we get Democrat judges up in arms for deporting them…

Common ‘Law’

N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]

I hate to say I told you so.

We’re the Only Ones Lead-Footed Enough

SAPD officer suspended after speeding nearly 100 times in patrol unit, records show [More]

What? They’re not going to prosecute him for each violation like they would you or me?

And speaking of what else they’d do to you and me:

Additionally, Texas automatically suspends the licenses of drivers who get more than four moving violations, such as speeding, over 12 months or those who get more than seven moving violations within 24 months.

I guess that’s why they’re “Only Ones” and we’re not.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Whistle)

But this is NOT a major loss for 2A or gun rights. First, it is not a 2A case so it does matter at all to Heller/Bruen analysis. Second, SCOTUS clearly left open the door for Trump to repeal the Biden ATF regulations (or even rewrite them in a very favorable way for the “home-made gun” industry… [More]

Regardless of how it was presented, this definitely is an infringement on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And the next administration can undo any rule change this one makes.

Not the first time I’ve questioned this guy…

Herschel has some thoughts.

We’re the Only Ones ‘Cop’rophilic Enough

Police chief pooped by desks, spiked coffee with Viagra, cops say in list of assault complaints [More]

He was trusted to carry a gun while citizens whose rights New Jersey Democrat prohibitionists $h!+ on weren’t.

In all the 30+ years I was employed, the thought of doing something like this never crossed my mind, but then, I don’t have the superior training.

Maybe “Taking a Farley” should become a thing.

Current Wild Swings of the Gun Control Pendulum

Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed. [More]

All this back-and-forth has got to stop.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

A Pakistani paedophile who attacked a teenage girl has been allowed to remain in the UK after successfully arguing that deportation would violate his human rights due to his alcoholism. The man, who has been granted anonymity for his protection, committed the assault after being released from prison for previous sex crimes. [More]

Just turn off the life support machine already.

Big Win for Pam Bondi!

The Supreme Court sided with the federal government’s effort to regulate so-called ghost gun kits for making untraceable weapons. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for seven justices upholding federal regulation, over dissent from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. [More]

Here.

How DOJ squares that with “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” has not been stated.

Babbit Season

President Trump: “I am a big fan of Ashli Babbitt, and Ashli Babbitt was a really good person… She was innocently standing there… and a man did something to her that was unthinkable when he shot her and I think it’s a disgrace. I am going to look into that.” [More]

I didn’t realize there was a conspiracy outside of the one perpetrated by the Capitol Police. Then again, I believe “we” landed on the Moon.

Hey, here’s a good bit of news.

ATF Lawyer Jeffrey Cohen: The Man Who Made Sure You Could Lose Your Gun Business Over a Typo [More]

40 years, eh…? Is Leider gonna keep him?

If he did have a hand in Gunwalker, my bet would be in after-the-fact damage control and stonewalling, although I have seen no proof of even that. At the time things were going down, he was assigned to the Northeast working out of Philly.
