The Avoid the Real Issue Act of 2024

Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) introduced the No Guns for Illegal Aliens Act to prohibit illegal aliens from using government-issued IDs to purchase firearms. [More]

Better lock that barn door. Don’t want the escaped horses to get back in.

What “infringemwent”? This is “commnonsense safety.”

So, just the Second Amendment or does the rest of the Bill of Rights threaten “exercis[ing] their police power,” too…?

Operation Choke Point Redux

Section 13 states the prohibited uses, where users would agree not to request, send, or receive money for several things. “Obviously, some I get,” she said. “The illegal drugs and controlled substances make sense, but firearms, ammunition, and other weapons, or materials that promote intolerance, violence or hate, in whose definition and what does that mean, a Ponzi scheme or pyramid scheme? Again, I don’t know what that means.” [More]

A Singular Argument

The text of the Second Amendment plainly does not guarantee a right to purchase an unlimited number of firearms within a 30-day period. [More]

I’m pretty sure “arms” is plural.

Of course, the miserable traitor Rob Bonta knows that.

Subversive Democrats pull this in-your-face $h!+ because they’re confident they can without repercussions.

Sign of the Times

NY legislature passes bill requiring posted warning in gun stores [More]

Variations on a theme:

“We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes … It used to be that smoking was a glamour symbol—cool, sexy, macho. Now it is dirty, deadly—and banned.”

Is there anything in the law that prohibits posting this right next to it?

By Fair Means or Foul

California law prohibiting gun shows at county fairs upheld by federal appeals court in unanimous decision [More]

I trust no one is surprised.

Years ago, before the Great Western Gun Show was forced out of California, I recall being especially bitter over how it could attract tens of thousands of gun owners–yet a counter-protest against the Million Moms preceded by announcements and appeals throughout the “activist” network, only drew a few hundred. And out of all Los Angeles, we’d be lucky to get 50 to show up at an NRA Members’ Council meeting, and of those, maybe half a dozen– of the same people all the time– actually did any work.

Add the engineered demographic shift our “gun rights leaders” say doesn’t qualify for “single issue” consideration, and the traditional uselessness of California Republicans, and no other outcome was possible.

Appealing to the full Ninth Circuit won’t reverse things. That’s just a requisite step to denial, and then hoping the Supreme Court will hear it and that it still has a favorable majority.

A Tall Order

Injunction granted against ATF’s ‘firearms dealer’ rule for 4 states, 4 groups … The injunction applies to residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Utah along with members of Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Tennessee Firearms Association and Virginia Citizens Defense League. [More]

Yo, Texas gun owners: The new infringements were brought to you in part by Tony Gonzales, and a number of you couldn’t be bothered to do anything about that.

Non-Participation Trophies

It’s almost 10 million people across this country who somehow use guns, own guns yet are not registered to vote… [Watch]

I don’t doubt it, but it would help if he told us where he gets those numbers from.

And, of course, there’s that question I always ask when we’re expected to have gun sales numbers orgasms… some we don’t want voting.

How Can You Tell Scott Jackson’s Lying?

Judge Upholds Arkansas Town’s Bid to Block Gun Store From Opening [More]

Something for everyone,” eh?

Looks like one of those artsy, trendy tourist traps ruled over by well-heeled, rope-selling useful idiots who have no idea what’s in store for the bourgeoisie

“Our kind” need not apply.

Scott’s on a different mission.

On Topic

OffTopic/
David, What’s with the Ohio AG not joining the other States in the lawsuit challenging the new rule against private sales? [More]

I won’t respond there, because a big thing with me is keeping things on topic (see “Comment H0use Rules” in sidebar). That’s why comment threads hijacked away from the conversation I’m inviting, or worse, devolving into childish squabbling, really grind my gears.

But it’s a good question, and Dave Yost hasn’t shied away from those before.

Where is Ohio?

Let’s ask him.

Flip or Flop

Flipping a gun for a price higher than one paid now may turn anyone into a dealer, making any such sale unlawful if it does not involve all the licensing and paperwork that govern gun dealers. [More]

Brought to you by every Republican who joined with Democrats on Biden’s “bipartisan” tyranny.

There’s an App for That

More guns are now trafficked to criminals through online sources such as Facebook, TikTok and Tinder than are trafficked at gun shows or flea markets, according to new Justice Department data that argues the marketplace for illegally obtained weapons is quickly evolving. [More]

You really can’t stop the signal.
