We Believe in the Second Amendment BUT…

Massachusetts House and Senate negotiators have released a compromise version of a sweeping gun bill that supporters say builds on the state’s existing gun laws, including a crackdown on difficult to trace “ghost guns,” while safeguarding the rights of gun owners. [More]

If they’re going to start out with a lie, several here that I can identify, what’s my incentive to read further and keep being lied to?

Way to continue being megaphones for tyranny, Associated Press and “real reporter” Steve LeBlanc!

Burden of Proof

…they have no database, they have no digital way, they have no searchable function, they just have someone that goes manually piece by piece by piece looking for a serial number amongst a billion two-page documents, front and back, and they found it in 30 minutes… [Watch]

Here’s the CNN piece.

Sorry, I don’t doubt there are violations, but I’m not buying this as proof. ATF didn’t have to go through billions of records. They knew the manufacturer and the serial number ID’d FFL it was sent to and the date, and since the business had closed and ATF had its records on site, a search with several people looking could very well have been done in that time. If it was still an active FFL, inspectors going to the shop would have taken a bit longer, but they’d have still gotten it done in short order.

Half-Full Faith and Credit

“Imagine your surprise if you are just minding your own business, wherever you are, Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and all of a sudden, your local constable is, like, “Guess what sucker, California says you’re not allowed to have any guns anymore, give them up.” [Watch]

Gun laws don’t work both ways, so your permit and lawful ownership won’t be recognized there.

Heads they win, tails you lose.

No Thanks to Vichycons

After helping the Democrats pass the bill, the Oregon House Republicans, in a cynical and disgraceful display of bait and switch, posed on the Capitol steps with a giant fake check that they said was going to be used for a lawsuit against the bill they had just helped pass…. Firearms Policy Coalition has announced their intention to fight this plainly unconstitutional law. They are currently seeking Oregon residents who could be plaintiffs in the case. This could be the fight so many have been waiting for. [More]

I’m if there are any creatures more self-servingly useless than Oregon establishment “Republicans”…

In the Spirit of Aloha

Hawaii’s Democrat Gov. Signs Bill Barring People Under the Age of 21 from Buying or Possessing Ammunition [More]

The Kapu Tradition lives on in the post-Igeocracy.

They know they’ll end up losing and the money could be spent on needed things, but they don’t care. And no one will hold them to account because stupid citizenship malpractitioners dominate the population.

Make Book on It

Victor Davis Hanson’s latest book is a macabre warning to an aging America as it closes in on its 250th birthday. The warning comes in the form of a graphic depiction of the hideousness of war and the terrifying state of those who suffer ignominious defeat. [More]

Good news– it looks my library, so maybe yours, isn’t refusing to stock it.

Wish I could say the same for stuff by Matt Bracken.

The Truth Will Out

Is Big Pharma Behind Copyright Claims in Legal Battle for Covenant Shooter’s Documents? [More]

That or the hospital where the shrink who kept mum worked, or its insurance carrier, or…

Inquiring minds want to know.

I just can’t imagine the type of parent who would accept a monetary payment in exchange for suppressing the truth. And without a legal will issued by a person of sound mind, I’m not seeing how the parents claiming copyright ownership is anything but a hollow bluff.

Looks like I’m not the only one who thinks the copyright excuse doesn’t hold water.
