General Blog - The War on Guns

And They’re Off!

One week into the 2023 legislative session, and it’s in full swing already. [More]

I trust all New Mexico readers are active members…?

To Themselves and Their Posterity

“Know that you are all in these chairs because of us. We are voting. Our people are voting,” Bello said. “If you don’t pass this bill, people are going to vote you all out.” [More]

And Bello hasn’t been deported…why?

And of course Minnesota Democrats are going to “downplay” it. Their party is counting on it.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

That Shining Boma on the Hill

Today News Africa Reporter: ‘America is the Only Country on Earth That People Die by Gun Without Even Being in War’ [More]

That’s because we don’t have a system of tolerance and economic justice, like in, say, Wakanda…

A Question of Responsibility

Investigators say a dog is responsible for a shooting that killed a man in Sumner County on Saturday. [More]

Then they are either incompetent investigators or the story is being relayed by an incompetent reporter.

Curiously, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen such incidents.

Or the second…

The Limp Patrol

Fed up NYC merchants set up private patrols to combat crime… The unarmed ambassadors’ mandate is to patrol the borough’s busiest shopping district… [More]

Striking terror into the hearts of evildoers, no doubt…

A Night Without Armor in a Savage Land

Marin assemblyman’s bill would ban body armor sales for most Californians [More]

Because it’s Damon Connolly’s grand purpose in life to tell you what he will allow you to have, and especially what he won’t.

Kwame, How I Love Ya, How I Love Ya, My Dear Old Kwame

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul appealed to the 5th District Appellate Court in Mount Vernon Monday to overturn a temporary restraining order against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which bans dozens of handguns and rifles, .50-caliber guns, certain attachments and accessories, and limits cartridges to 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for pistols. [More]

On the plus side, it’ll end up heading to the Bruen court…

One Bite at a Time?

KILLING THE NFA: The Real World 2nd Amendment Strategy for ATTACKING the NFA [Watch]

Incrementalism. We get it. That’s the correct legal strategy.

But here’s one thing proponents of reverse incrementalism, and in fact, none of the “gun groups” will even acknowledge, let alone seriously address:

What if the clock runs out because the courts have all been taken over by politically unchallengeable majority appointments?

What does anyone with eyes think the enemy has been busy setting up?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

Muhmi Get Your Sword

EUSOG puts on gender neutral production of the musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ [More]

So have the white Christian nationalists we’re told are the most dangerous and violent threat against Western culture declared a fatwah for blasphemy yet? I notice the “performers” still all have their heads, so my guess is “No.”

And as with all things “progressive,” the “idea” is hardly new. But at least back then it didn’t take itself seriously.

And These Guys Too

NRA challenges Illinois semiautomatic gun ban in court: ‘Blatant violation’ of Second Amendment rights [More]

So all the big dogs are in.

Something in Common

Cities with the Biggest Homicide Rate Problems [More]

Any bets on how many…?

Welcome to the Party, Pals

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) joined a federal lawsuit filed today challenging Illinois’s latest ban on so-called “assault weapons.” The Second Amendment Law Center and the Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois are also lead plaintiffs in this suit, along with others as well. [More]

The more the merrier…

Forgive me for wishing we had resolved all this decades ago…

We’re the Only Ones Unqualified Enough

Nevada’s Top Court Says Cops Can Now Be Sued For Rights Violations, Won’t Have Access To Qualified Immunity [More]

Evening the odds against the house…

Back for a Return Engagement

Dianne Feinstein and fellow domestic enemies make another noisy play to start a civil war. [More]

Here’s the bill, that supposedly has no chance of passing the Republican house.

Let’s have a Beslan redux here and we’ll see about that.

Like Mother Like Daughter

Hot mess Lisa Bloom DRAGGED for tying 2nd Amendment to slavery and ‘subjugation of women’ [More]

Why not? Mom is All Red, too…

Semi vs. Full Autocratic?

“Is he going to enforce our automatic weapons ban if that’s an unregistered weapon?” Stava-Murray said. “He said no, he’s not going to. That seems very dangerous.” [More]

Who does she think she is? Kenny Akers?

Do you think she’s really that ignorant, or is she calculating enough to assist with the lie?

And any bets on if the sheriff will stick to his guns?
