Making an example of the black upstart who wants nothing to do with the plantation before others get the same idea, eh? That must explain the absence of outrage by the middlemen.
“Additional”…?

The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives redefining frames and receivers as firearms, have filed an appellee’s brief in the case, known as VanDerStok v. Garland. [More]
There’s a word for a government that can just assign itself new powers when it feels like it.
Always take people at their word when they say what they want to disarm you. They want to kill you. They want to do bad things to you. So when you see before the United States Supreme Court in the United States v Rahimi case, statements that say we have no right to keep in bear arms, we have no right to possess firearms, we have no right to carry firearms, we have no right to use firearms to protect ourselves, you must take these words at face value. You must take them as truth that this is what the other side truly believes. We don’t have a right to self-defense we don’t have a right to guns. We have to be disarmed. Take them at their word. [Watch]
Conversely, don’t believe a word they say when they claim no one is talking about taking your guns.

…the reality is they’re all basically for more gun control what’s interesting is some of the briefs are actually embracing laws at the time of our founding that had racist and odious and bigoted foundations upon which they rest, and nevertheless some of the anti-gunners are embracing these… [Watch]
Disingenuously tryin g to separate the racist motivations from the act of disarmament simply means they want us all to be slaves.

This new initiative is called “Capture the Flag,” and it will focus on abuses and mis-application of “Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)” statutes which have been adopted by 21 states and the District of Columbia. [More]
Their very existence is an abuse.
And there’s only one solution that nobody appears incentivized to implement.

Ohio can enforce a state law intended to ensure uniform firearms regulations across localities. That’s the ruling a unanimous three-judge panel of the state’s Tenth District Court of Appeals handed down on Tuesday. The decision reverses a preliminary injunction issued by a lower court judge to the city of Columbus, Ohio last year. [More]

The California Legislative Women’s Caucus called on the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to uphold domestic abuse restraining orders as it reviews a case that could permit domestic abusers the right to carry guns. [More]
If they’re proven, under full due process, to be too dangerous to be trusted with a gun, what are they doing out? And if they haven’t been, characterizing them all as “domestic abusers” in the very first sentence just shows there’s no lie or manipulation these people won’t use to disarm their countrymen, and makes fair the question “What the real motive of those behind this?”
What does it say about the Caucus’ commitment to DEI if every one of them is a “biological woman”? And why aren’t we hearing objections from the seven Republicans?
The lawsuit, brought Tuesday by the nonprofit group Everytown for Gun Safety and exclusively obtained by NBC News, names multiple defendants, including YouTube and Reddit, online spaces where the shooter was allegedly radicalized… [More]

Figures, the “legal authority” they consulted is the “distinguished” Robert Spitzer, who never saw a gun he didn’t want to grab.

“…the Department of Justice used none of these racist laws they gave up all of these racist laws … because as you know because the burden is on the government to come forth with historical laws at the time of the founding… that we can basically kick out and get rid of as not being applicable reduces the number historical gun control laws that the anti-gunners can use to justify modern gun control regulations… [Watch]
That they don’t dare use racist precedent is powerful information to exploit, legally and ideologically.
One other point I don’t see anyone addressing — just because a law existed at the time of the Founding doesn’t mean it would have been upheld as constitutional if it had been challenged at the time on Second Amendment grounds.

Especially in light of SCOTUS in Dred Scott:
“It would give to persons … who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
It doesn’t “give” anything, but the rest is what the understanding was.
So much for “permits” or any level of government having “reciprocity” approval authority. So much for “sensitive areas.”

2A TOUCHDOWN: COULD NFL PLAYER USE 2ND AMENDMENT TO DESTROY MASSACHUSETTS GUN LAWS AND MORE? [Watch]
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for anyone so cavalier about the practice that they forget they have a gun, but the only malicious, predatory intent meriting resistance I see here is coming from the tyrants.
I do think it’s funny to see the NFL trying to tiptoe the line between its anti-gun virtue signaling and being afraid to agitate the “institutional racism” fanatics.
