Dix: Representatives of People Who Resist Infringements Have a Lot of Gall Complaining About Crime

In addition to nullifying existing firearm regulations, the bill makes it even more difficult for officials to enforce gun laws. [More]

He says that like it’s a bad thing.

We’ve met Griffin Dix before:

A loaded chamber indicator on a Beretta 92 Compact L did not stop 14-year-old Michael Soe from feloniously killing 15-year-old Kenzo Dix during a practical joke. The fact is, Soe’s father left a loaded gun where an untrained, impulsive and judgmentally-challenged adolescent could find it. In their lawsuit, backed by CPHV, Dix’s parents maintained, among other charges, that the chamber indicator was inadequate because the gun was not inscribed with a warning as well. Presumably, were Beretta to do so, they would still be deemed negligent for not including such warnings in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese and Tagalog.

We can sympathise with his loss. That does not give him a pass to attack our rights, and when he does, his motives shouldn’t lessen our response.

Another Reason to Sue Glock

Man just released from prison involved in shooting in St. Pete…Small was firing at people outside with a 9 mm Glock handgun with a 50-round drum for a magazine…a short time later he was spotted firing into a home in the 1600 block of 42nd Avenue South, where a blind elderly man lives…he ran off into a nearby lot on 40th St S. Small reportedly fired two rounds at the officer. [More]

There oughta be a law!

Max Frost Nipping at Your Rights

The Prevent Illegal Gun Resales Act would add common sense structural reform to the gun sale industry by boosting license application requirements for gun retailers, proportionally increasing the cost of licensing fees, and adding a new definition for “high-risk dealers” that would include sellers who:

Had a known violation or warning in the past three years; Had firearms either lost or stolen from them within the preceding year; or, Were the source of two or more guns with a time-to-crime of three years or less. [More]

In other words, close them all down.

Yes, Bob, exactly like Democrats.

Yes, this is political posturing for the media, and no, it won’t pass — yet — but it’s instructive to see what the plans are for when previous impediments are removed through “compromise.”

The only reason to let the enemy get closer to the target is to draw him into a trap.

The Wrong Question

Because it’s really about something else.

Mr. Pynchon understands.

Right to Arms for Illegal Aliens a Red Herring to Distract from Real Issue

But again, it’s the wrong question. What should be asked is “Why is a known illegal alien allowed to remain in the United States instead of being deported?” [More]

“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.” (Thomas Pynchon/”Gravity’s Rainbow”)

Wie ein Guter Nachbarin

An Evanston man put signs in his yard that his neighbor says left her feeling intimidated. He now faces a felony charge, on the claim he was trying to intimidate her after she reported him for having unattractive property… She said Groneman and his household are “crazy” “gun-loving” people, the affidavit relates.

Fill Out Forms, You’re on the List

“We have a lot of databases. We have the CBI records checks that we already check. We have your concealed weapons permits… so I don’t know that we are looking at some newfangled database specifically to create something to identify who has a gun. We have that. That exists… so, do you guys really think that the ultimate outcome for this is for us to track you? [More]

No, that’s not the ultimate outcome.

And you’ll notice where that vision starts to get blurry…

And Therein Lies the Problem

According to a probable cause statement, Wilson was in a relationship with one victim. [More]

When the antis tell us women are in more danger when there’s a gun in the home, this is the type of Democrat district home, where stupid, cowardly, and destructive choices are the norm, that they’re conflating ours with.
