Whistling Past the Graveyard of History

Mayor-elect Mamdani reeks of Lenin — but NYC’s wise safeguard against Marxism stands in his way [More]

I can’t help but feel relying on 1975’s Financial Emergency Act as a panacea is a bit of wishful thinking. Communists mean to rule by hook or by crook, and then by violence.

There were plenty of laws on the books the Bolsheviks ignored when they seized power. And this isn’t happening in a one-off vacuum.

What, No Payback?

The City CONCEDED its ordinance violates state law.
Memphis admitted that every line of its handgun-carry ban, vehicle-storage rule, so-called “assault rifle” ban, and red-flag scheme is 100% illegal under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1314. (Order pp. 3, 9–11) The Judge called the ordinance “DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.” The Chancellor wrote that “The Ordinance and those who proposed it engaged in ‘virtue signaling,’” but “the Ordinance is as dead as a proverbial doornail as a matter of Tennessee law.” (Order p. 6) Simply put, the Memphis ordinance is entirely unenforceable.

So what will hold them accountable, make them pay, and discourage future in-your-face infringements?

The Silver Lining

NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will become a National Anti-gun Force [More]

I hope he does.

Because so far, their most successful weapon has been to call citizen disarmament “commonsense gun safety,” and someone who wants to ban them all neutralizes another lie.

Maddeningly, there’s one other in-your-face position the gun groups still aren’t ready (are too craven) to exploit, undeniably spelled out in his acceptance speech, acknowledging the supporters giving power to his subversion:

I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties… And we will build a City Hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism. Where the more than 1 million Muslims know that they belong – not just in the five boroughs of this city, but in the halls of power…New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

Using the “single issue” excuse to deny the obvious needs to be seen for what it is and for what it enables.

Look On Their Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair

He got the “guns are not the only armament” part right, but the others are just to get us to a gun.

But don’t take my word for it, comrades.

It’d be awful tough to round people up and herd them over to the box car or lime pit if all you had was a pipe bomb in your hand.

And just out of curiosity, if you “do it right” this time and create a stateless society, what authority will prevent me from making and trading in guns with others of like mind?

Cancel culture only works if all of us crave your approval and don’t possess the means to live life without you. Now take a look at your average smelly and talentless Antifa freak and tell us how many of those you’d like to rely on.

Gunpowder, Treason and Plot

Neo-Nazi Martyn Gilleard has been found guilty of making bombs for a far-right terrorist campaign, after having previously admitted downloading thousands of images of child sexual abuse. [More]

That there are Gorn among us is all the more reason the rest of us need gunpowder. And a point of order about “far-right” Nazis…

And I forgot to commemorate what day I posted that.

What Other Rights Can States Ignore?

This is the last stop for Ballot Measure 114 on a state level. Given the makeup and history of the Oregon courts, it would be wise to not be too optimistic about the outcome. As usual, we hope we are wrong on this issue. And, keep in mind, that, irrespective of the outcome, the Oregon Legislature will continue to enact every possible impediment to gun ownership in Oregon even as it seeks to protect criminals and the violently mentally ill. [More]

If only we had a Justice Department committed to protecting unalienable rights from state and local abuses…

How Petty Can You Get?

Joe was a pleasure to work with when I worked for the city and he was head of the water department. He’s one of the most honest, intelligent and hardworking people I know. He obviously won by a landslide, and I pray the city gives him their full support. This petty action by Kobach makes me ill. [More]

That’s some honesty.

And yeah, how petty, not letting a lying foreign national hold political power over citizens.

Y’get the feeling TruDee is a Little cognitively disabled…?

(Inter)National Treasure

“Because, I mean, I really believe that immigrants are our treasure and our strength, and they’re what make this country what it is,” Lakshmi added. [More]

Spoken like a UN “Goodwill Ambassador” born in India and let into this country who wants to make us less like America and more like the $#!+hole she left.

Oh, look, she wants the government to disarm us, too.

Shh… don’t tell the “single issue” gun groups!
