Within Limits

What the NTSB wants is to require systems that “warn” when a driver is speeding, as well as systems that “make it more difficult, but not impossible, to increase the speed of a vehicle” as well as electronic limits on vehicles so they “fully prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit.” [More]

So which is it?

And if they can mandate limiters on cars…

In Your Face Because They Can

Omaha mayor signs bump stock ban, joining city curb on gun kits [More]

As I noted earlier when the city was adding harassment infringements to permitless carry:

While the position is officially nonpartisan, it’s interesting to note that Stothert is one of those “moderate” Republicans who take the fire out of the bellies of gun owners looking for alternatives to gun-grabbing Democrats. In her case, her husband’s 2021 suicide “from a self-inflicted gunshot wound” merits our sympathy, but not to the extent that using her political power to mandate life-endangering infringements should be tolerated.

Challenging the Challengers

Judge Phil Journey, Rocky Marshall, Dennis Fusaro, and [myself] Jeff Knox have all secured enough petition signatures from NRA Voting Members to have our names on the ballot in the 2024 Director Election… [More]

So, which one of you guys want to either provide responsive answers to my challenge or admit the “single issue” connection and tell us what you’re going to do about it?

Slap Down

The Fifth Circuit panel ruled that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Final Rule is illegal. Circuit Judge Kurt D. Englehardt wrote, “An agency cannot label conduct lawful one day and felonious the next—yet that is exactly what ATF accomplishes through its Final Rule. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED to the extent it holds unlawful the two challenged portions of the Final Rule, and VACATED and REMANDED as to the remedy.” The case is known as VanDerStok v. Garland. [More]

A Justice Department that was true to the Constitution would be enforcing rights and punishing government transgressors.

What a novel idea that would be.

Sociopathic Leftwing @$$holes Demand Action

A man who killed five people at a bank in Louisville earlier this year wrote in his journal that he wanted to demonstrate the consequences of gun laws that he viewed as too lenient, according to police. [More]

All this and he lied on the 4473… What a perfect Moms Demand spokespredator! Stop me before I kill again!

OK. BLAM!

Some of us are not surprised, and further posit that those who rabidly don’t trust others with freedom are really projecting difficulty containing their own inner beasts.

P!$$ on this freak. He doesn’t deserve a memorial that treats his well-deserved death like a loss.

Night of the Evil Butterball

The greasy-lipped masters have to be laughing like hell as they reach across their table of plunder and rip off another drumstick… [More]

That links to my traditional Thanksgiving essay, first posted in 2000. This year, WarOnGuns Correspondent Michael G provides an addendum:

LA Times Op-Ed: This Thanksgiving, Honor Turkeys By Not Eating Them [More]

While others bent on destroying our culture and imposing their rule do their utmost to contaminate everything with their filth and make the feast of freedom unpalatable.

And, of course, Moms Demand You be Miserable.

Their word “frustrated” tells you all you need to know.

Fortunately, no one in my family is a loud, obnoxious, divisive, and most of all oblivious useful idiot. I have a feeling those who don’t have a castrated milquetoast to henpeck will be enduring their eating disorders while seething with their cats.

Let them all seethe in impotent rage.

As for my brothers and sisters in freedom, may you have as much to be thankful for as I do. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Now go enjoy the day.

UPDATE

This is the way I “honored” my turkey. And none of us were miserable because my family and circle of friends are mercifully free of crazy commie nonsense bellyachers.

The Second Shot Heard Round the World

When the Modern Gun Control Movement Started [More]

Dan Gifford resurrects a 2019 piece that recalls how recent history has led to where we are today.

I remember where I was when Kennedy was killed.

We were living in Tehran. Dad ran the brand-new B.F. Goodrich tire factory and we were getting ready to go to school when his British friend called to tell him the president had been shot and killed in Delaware. I didn’t learn “Dallas” until we got to school and newspapers were taped up on the compound wall by the entrance gate.

I was 11. It was the first time I’d considered that history was something we don’t just read about, but live through, and even make.

Kennedy, by the way, was an old-school Democrat who understood the purpose of the Second Amendment:

By CALLING ATTENTION to ‘a well regulated militia,’ the ‘security’ of the nation, and the right of each citizen ‘to keep and bear arms,’ our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important.

And he was an NRA Life Member killed by an ACLU member.
