DOJ Airs Soiled Briefs

BREAKING NEWS! DOJ FILES AWFUL NFA BRIEF FULL OF FLAWS [More]

I’m not buying the qualified “criticism” that gives excuses to the attorneys and to DOJ for “miscommunication.” Coming up with a unified position on 2A ain’t rocket surgery, and if they don’t have they brainpower to do it, that makes deliberately excluding subject matter expert advisors all the more inexcusable.

I’m waiting for a hear-no-evil Trump apologist to claim it’s brilliant 3D chess to advance arguments you know you’re going to lose.

One Ring to Rule Them All, One Ring to Find Them

Many people were not just surprised but quite shocked and alarmed to learn that what they thought was merely their own personal security system now has the ability to link with countless other Ring cameras to form a neighborhood-wide (or city-wide, or state-wide) surveillance dragnet. [More]

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

For the Record

I’m still trying to figure out what’s constitutional about any of what they do.

It’s a Big Club and Look Who’s In It

Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathy Ruemmler will leave the investment bank at the end of June. Her announcement follows the release of documents detailing her often chummy conversations with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. [More]

She’s the same one who would not allow House Oversight to interview the National Security Council apparatchik who got Phoenix SAC and Gunwalker honcho Bill Newell to send him information.

Thanks for Nothing?

Q: Will the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act get a vote?

I am an original cosponsor of the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. Once it passes the Senate Judiciary Committee, it will go to the full Senate. I look forward to voting for this legislation so Idahoans with concealed carry permits can exercise their rights in states with similar laws.

Per 1Gat:

As you can see the language/ mood of the hoped for national concealed carry reciprocity has been changed to “can exercise their rights in states with similar laws.” As you are aware, CCW holders can already “exercise their rights in states with similar laws” and more. My ID ccw (which is unconstitutional and not required) is good in 40 states, not just the 28 with “similar laws.” This is a TOTAL slight of hand betrayal by alleged pro 2A legislators and needs exposure.

We’re the Only Ones Flashy Enough

A U.S. Border Patrol agent was briefly arrested last week after attempting to bring a flash-bang grenade through security at McAllen-Miller International Airport in Texas, prompting a police response and raising questions about airport security enforcement and prosecutorial decisions. [More]

Charges were dismissed against him but not against a “civilian’ who forgot his handgun in his carry-on.

I’m not buying the “probable cause” excuse. This looks more to me like another case of “professional courtesy.”

Suffer the Children

Ally Kotetsu, who describes himself as “a non-binary transgender woman who is transrace Japanese,” is campaigning both online and in public through an effort he calls Beyond the Plus, which advocates for the rights of “beings who are romantically or sexually attracted to beings who are below the age of 18.” [More]

Love is love?

The original rebellion continues.

Disparaging Armed Citizens Undermines Trump Administration’s Credibility

Maybe it’s time to stop dousing the fire in gun owner bellies, especially with top administration officials making inane comments that spit in the faces of Second Amendment activists — the very people Republicans need to win. [More]

In what reality is making core constituents feel like they’re being used smart politics?
