Washington State Pile-On

The Assault on Our 2nd Amendment Rights [More]

I could spend time quibbling with that characterization, but the priority here is understanding the areas of attack:

  • HB-1240 has a long list of weapons that will be banned under this legislation.
  • HB-1178 – Concerning local government authority to regulate firearms.
  • HB-1143 – Concerning requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
  • HB-1144 – Enhancing requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
  • HB – 1240 – Establishing firearms-related safety measures to increase public safety.

They’re all over at the above link, plus Washington Gun Law details them out and points out the urgency for action. [Watch]

Still Waiting for an Answer

However, for those like Hudson who do have these concerns, I’d offer a suggestion. If you feel this way, you should start pushing the lawmakers asking for your support to oppose gun control. [More]

We’re well aware of Republican betrayals and failures. That said, what kind of utter moron says they’re for the right to keep and bear arms and then backs Democrats, and what kind of two-faced opportunists support that?

Just because the enemy has guns is no reason to mistake them for our friends.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

Firearm enthusiasts in Oregon are flocking to gun stores as they wait to find out whether a federal judge will delay the start of a strict permit-to-purchase law before Thursday’s deadline. “The parking lot has been a disaster,” Northwest Armory owner Karl Durkheimer told Fox News. “The side streets around our place have been a disaster.” [More]

I wonder how many didn’t lift a finger and let groups like Oregon Firearms Federation carry all the load without helping.

I wonder how many are Democrats.

California Firearm Purchase Delay Evokes MLK ‘Justice Denied’ Quote

If the California DOJ won’t let Ed buy a gun, what’s to say they’ll let him keep the ones he already has if their misidentification persists? It’s not like they don’t know what he has and where he lives. That alone, along with the propensity of state disarmament enforcers to violently descend in the middle of the night, makes calling attention to his plight a matter of personal safety. [More]

Nothing says “shall not be infringed” like “How do we know you’re not a criminal?”

When Black Friday Comes

Received via email:

Noted this recent news item:

“Numbers released Monday show that the FBI ran 192,749 National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background checks on Black Friday 2022.” (and 711,372 total for the week) — Did not include the number rejected and I don’t expect to ever see a final tally of justified rejections vs. approved on reexamination.

Voting with Their Wallets

Oregon State Police saw a spike in requests for Firearms Instant Check System (FICS) background requests leading up to and especially following the midterm election. [More]

They’d better hurry:

While many assumed that the implementation date would be 30 days after the election was actually “certified” (given that votes were being counted long after Nov 7th) now we are being told the Secretary of State has no plans to wait and the ban of new gun sales and magazines will begin December 8th.

Disorder in the Court?

A divided U.S. appeals court on Monday upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit against Remington Arms over a trigger defect in one of its rifles that allegedly led to the accidental shooting death in 2011 of an 11-year-old boy by his 15-year-old brother in Mississippi. [More]

Yeah, I know, all guns are always loaded, and never point one at anything you’re not willing to destroy, but if the trigger really was defective and the gun really was prone to firing spontaneously, this sounds like they won one they should have lost and surrendered one they should have won.

Oh Henry!

In honor of Henry Repeating Arms’ silver anniversary celebration, the Wisconsin-based company is donating $50,000 to DAV (Disabled American Veterans), an organization dedicated to empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. [More]

This came in via email and I thought it merited sharing.

Where There’s a Will

The driver of a stolen car smashed into a gun store early Thursday morning and three men stole at least 10 firearms. [More]

Look for the antis to blame the victim in 3…2…1…

The place is about 20 minutes from me (and, fun fact, six from Jeffrey Dahmer’s boyhood home). I see they’re maintaining their sense of perspective and humor with their “smash and grab sale” announcement I hope the Facebook censors miss.

‘Show Me the Man, and I’ll Show You the Crime’

“It is disappointing that Attorney General Ellison filed his complaint without ever once talking to us… It’s also worth noting that … we were told by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms that our team members had ‘done nothing wrong’ and had complied with all applicable gun laws.” [More]

Yeah, but Ellison’s communist agenda never let a little thing like innocence slow it down…
