Still Repressive After All These Years

Back in the day, Democrats reacted to the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision requiring that they respect all Americans’ civil liberties with fury and a petulant campaign of massive resistance. What is old is new again – the Democrat Party is back in form, furious that SCOTUS will not let them steal our rights. This time it is gun rights. The Bruen decision made it clear that blue states cannot deny your right to keep and bear arms on a whim. And the libs have gone into overdrive to undermine it. [More]

That the lying totalitarian wannabes call themselves “liberals” is all we need to know.

As the Lynch Mob Forms

“We must not allow citizens to become judge, jury and executor,” the group, which consisted of Dr. Candice Matthews (Texas Coalition of Black Democrats/Rainbow/PUSH Coalition/New Black Panther Nation), Quanell X (New Black Panther Nation), family members of the deceased and other civil rights organizations, said in a statement. [More]

Or threateners of doing just that unless you submit to their demands…

And “executor…”? So they don’t want the shooter to manage the robber’s estate?

Back in a Bit

I’ve had several priorities falling over the transom I need to attend to. I’ll be out of commission for the next few hours.

Tips and comments will be delayed accordingly. Please hold off on more until I’m back.

Brace Yourselves

Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) introduced the Protecting Individual Sovereignty Through Our Laws Act, or PISTOL Act. This legislation would prevent the Biden Administration from regulating pistol braces by clarifying that what constitutes a “pistol” is not subject to bureaucratic interpretation, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has wrongly done in their recently finalized rule. [More]

I don’t see it listed under his name on GovTrack yet but consider the bill’s passage prognosis pretty much “0” with a Democrat Senate and president.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Get Back in the Water

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]

How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.

I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.

Maybe somebody’s got pictures?

Punching Back

SAF FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST ILLINOIS GUN BAN [More]

Look at all the legal actions, just for this group.

You’d better believe part of the enemy’s legal strategy is to use their virtually unlimited tax plunder resources to deplete their victims’ resources.

I’d really like to see a concerted effort by the “gun lobby” to go after qualified immunity for enforcers abetting tyranny.

Speaking of Toxic Masculinity…

During a traffic stop in Florida, deputies caught Kevin Deane Jones, 50, with a plastic water gun full of the highly toxic substance ricin while on his way to Texas, where his ex-wife lived in December 2021, court documents show. After he was read his Miranda rights, he admitted to making the ricin as part of a murder plot to kill his ex, according to investigators. [More]

Ol’ Kevin doesn’t sound like the brightest bulb. What must his “current fiancee” be like?

Hey, maybe they can blame this on Mike!

We’re the Only Ones Inattentive Enough

Police searching for 5 St. Francois County Jail escapees [More]

And the “detention officers’ didn’t notice for three hours…

You’ve gotta wonder what kind of incompetent and lazy morons the taxpayers are subsidizing.

With the “profession’s” track record, it’s not out of line to wonder if something more was in play.

Much Ado About What, Exactly?

Gaetz introduces ‘Abolish the ATF Act’ after ruling against stabilizing braces [More]

I don’t see any text yet, but my feeling is this is symbolic and doesn’t stand a chance of becoming law, especially considering the state of the Senate.

Besides, unless you abolish the functions, all you’re doing is kicking the can down the road and handing it to a bigger agency like the FBI, that’s better able to bury its crimes.

A ‘Progressive’ DGU

Chicago Police wanted murder charges to be filed after a felon illegally carrying a gun shot a man repeatedly, killing him. Not only did Juan Ferba, 26, fire at least 14 rounds, striking Kristopher Willett a number of times — including three times in the head — but Ferba also hit a woman on a CTA bus with an errant round. However, Cook County’s Soros-funded State’s Attorney Kim Foxx looked at the case and pronounced it…self-defense. [More]

And he’s out.

This is all I could find.

If only they would mandate more “commonsense gun safety laws” for you and me…

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

I’ll See Your 40 Acres and a Mule and I’ll Raise You Perpetually Unlimited

San Francisco Reparations Panel Now Recommending $5 Million for Each Black Resident – “The committee also proposed wiping out all debts associated with educational, personal, credit card and payday loans for black households.” [More]

How’s that saying go, you can wish in one hand and…?

In any case, I’m with Bugs.

Bring it, racist communist scum.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

Cake in the office should be viewed like passive smoking, says food regulator chief [More]

No, there is nothing a chronically obsessed control freak will not try to ban. Give them government power and they are free to release their inner monsters.

Hence we have the pathetic state of what was once “this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”

Kinda makes me want to watch “Mrs. Miniver” again and weep.

That’s Greer Garson on the cover of the Aug. 1960 issue of GUNS.

We’re the Only Ones Supported Enough

“The community is very supportive and I am grateful they took the time to educate themselves on the process of how obtaining these firearms takes place,” Wendt told The Daily Beast in a Tuesday text message, confirming the reinstatement and the stipulation. “I wish journalists would do the same and realize this is an attack on the 2nd amendment and not just about me.” [More]

I’ll bite. If it’s about the Second Amendment, could I do it?

NYT ‘Sugarcoats’ on Hunter Biden as New Secret Service Gun FOIA Comes Up Empty

In one fell swoop, The Times has reversed its position not just on “background checks,” but if you think about it, on “red flag laws,” too. It’s evidently OK, if you’re the Democrat president’s son, to commit a felony and lie on the federal form because most of the time nobody gets prosecuted for it. And when you’re distraught to the point that those closest to you feel compelled to throw your gun away because you might kill yourself, nothing says “therapy” like buying a gun and going to the range! [More]

And if the Secret Service truly wasn’t involved, don’t you think voices a lot bigger than mine ought to be asking “Who were those guys?”
