There should be nothing to stop the administration from demonstrating incontrovertible, prosecutable proof.
Gun-Banner Mfume’s Call for a ‘Street Fight’ Looks to Be a Desperate Deflection

Still Kweisi after all these years…
Road Trip
Nope, the 1960 Austin Healey is long gone, and the skinny kid is now a memory I mostly don’t want to remind people of, but I have important business in Dayton tomorrow which is a 3+ hour trip one way. That means no blog unless AmmoLand publishes my latest, in which case I’ll post when I return in the evening.
Comments will have to wait and I won’t be able to get to news tips, so do yourself a favor and don’t bother. Since I’ll be backed up on Friday with article stuff, save yourself the trouble or understand if you don’t see it show up here.
Action Plan Wish List
President Trump issued an Executive Order to “assess any ongoing infringements on the Second Amendment rights of our citizens and present a proposed plan of action…to protect the [rights] of all Americans.” Now, GOA is surveying gun owners to help set that plan of action to protect your God-given rights. [More]
It’s good to show him priorities– assuming he sees this. I wish I had time now to analyze it in terms of stuff I agree with, stuff I question, and additions I’d make. I’ll probably weigh in later.
Controlling Those Weapons of War
Your Public Servants
“We find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth.” “We’re just curious as to where it came from…” [More]
And they’ve been doing it all from the comfort of their homes…

Jack-Birkenstocked Thugs
The raid took place nearly two years ago. So far, the couple has not been charged with any crime, but Brennan’s family cannot leave the United States because they have no passports. [More]
If nothing else, can they issue a department-wide “no man buns” dress code?
Let’s hope this is one of those cases DOJ decides to tear into. We all ought to know who the @$$hole who pointed a gun at a seven-year-old is.

The Spirit of the Law
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act Jurisdiction Act, which protects law-abiding American firearm manufacturers and sellers by creating an independent basis for removing frivolous lawsuits against them to federal court, especially those predicated on illegal use of their products by unrelated third parties. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced the House version of the bill. [More]
That’s because “because the PLCAA does not contain an independent basis for removal to federal court, state courts must look to the federal question jurisdiction statute (28 U.S.C. 1331) triggering the ‘well-pled complaint rule.’”
Clear?
Clearer than “shall not be f—–g infringed”?
I can’t find a prognosis yet, so let’s just assume “Not bloody likely.”

About That Rumor
Despite the widespread speculation, here’s what we actually know:
A private criminal complaint was filed against Shapiro. The Butler County District Attorney disapproved the complaint. There is no official confirmation of any criminal charges or federal investigation. Social media claims of a cover-up remain unverified. [More]
For what it’s worth, he’s a Democrat…
That said, I join in cautioning not to leap to any illusions. Just from a making sense standpoint, it doesn’t.
And that said, boy, wouldn’t it be rich?

Made to Be Broken
“We have no information to suggest that this was a student who was planning an attack or harming people inside the school. It is our understanding—through a very preliminary investigation and what has been expressed to us by the student—that he was having issues with people in the community, and he was carrying the firearm,” Mitch McCoy, SLMPD spokesperson, said. “While Missouri has very relaxed gun laws, it is still very clearly stated in the law that you cannot carry a gun on campus.” [More]
Based on results, you can. Whether you can get away with it or not depends on how crazy, or in this case, stupid you are.

We’re the Only Ones Less Lethal Enough
According to the Bismarck Police Department report, Chief Lahay stated he “instructed Officer (redacted) to go less lethal and transition to her taser.” FOX 2 redacted the other officer’s name since she is not accused of any wrongdoing. Lahay further stated that Kalob became aggressive and overpowered Roberta, who was holding on to Kalob at the time. Chief Lahay wrote, “Out of fear for the lives of Roberta, Officer (redacted) and myself of being shot by Kalob, I fired my duty pistol.” [More]
I’d hate to see’em go MORE lethal…
That said, it sounds like the contingency lawyer wants a payday from a no-win scenario because an immutable law had been ignored.

Don’t tell us, show us.
If they can prove the highest levels of government have been lying continuously to us about the most fundamental truths for over 60 years, what will that say about people who trust the government to “control” the guns?
[Via bondmen]
And So It Begins…?
The entire Department of Justice is starting to file documents in courts basically saying, “Hey we want to put these fights involving the ATF on hold because we’re likely going to be reconsidering them and changing position in favor of the right to keep and be arms.” [Watch]
The federal government asked the Eleventh Circuit to postpone oral arguments in a lawsuit challenging the ATF pistol brace rule, saying that it needs time to review it pursuant to Trump’s Second Amendment executive order…
We’ll see…
