Conflict of Interest? What Conflict of Interest?

Elizabeth Rochford, the judge who pushed Illinois’ “assault weapon” ban over the top, is a demonstrably allied with and beholden to the gun-grabbers and did not recuse herself. [More]

This is the real story, about in-your-face corrupt tyranny, deserving of screaming headlines.

Instead, not a single “#real reporter” working for the DSM (Duranty/Streicher Media) is reporting on this, and like so many stories of import to freedom, we have to learn about it from rights advocates followed by limited niche interests. Meanwhile, as planned and controlled, the general voting public remains blissfully ignorant of what’s being done to them by apparatchiks, deceivers, and those who pull their strings.

An honest “progressive” would object to this. Guess what it means that none has.

Free people cannot coexist with this.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Darren Bailey—a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2022 and who is now running for Congress—threatened to end his own life if cops come to seize his assault rifles after the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the state’s assault weapons ban on Friday. [More]

That’s not what he said, Caitlan Cruz of Jezebel and Yahoo! News, you liars.

That said, the guy needs to channel him some Patton.

Going with What Works

Today, the National Association for Gun Rights filed a lawsuit against the ATF, National Association for Gun Rights v. Garland, in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. This action was filed in the same appellate circuit that ruled earlier this year that bump stocks are not machine guns in Cargill v. Garland. [More]

More and more NAGR is showing itself to be a major player on the national scene worthy of support. Perhaps it’s time to bury the past.

Well, yeah, we’re supposed to #BelieveWomen.

Noting some “women” are more equal than others.

Our Gun Control is Better Than Yours

Philadelphia is suing three firearm retailers – Frank’s Gun Shop Double Tap Shooting Range and Delia’s Gun Shop in Northeast Philadelphia, and Tanner’s Sports Center in Bucks County – alleging the businesses are participating in illegal straw purchases, an illicit criminal activity where an individual lies on the background check form that they are the actual purchasers and instead sells or transfers a firearm to someone who can’t or won’t be associated with the sale of a firearm.

So NSSF’s “solution” is to enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

House of Cards

ILLINOIS 5TH CIRCUIT COURT REVERSES,REMANDS FOID CARD CHALLENGE CASE [More]

That citizens have to go to court to get an opinion on whether prior restraints and permits imposed on fundamental rights are constitutional illustrates how in-your-face evil disarmament scams and those behind them are. An how cud-chewingly stupid those who support them are…

The Butterfly Effect

9th Circuit overturns Hawaii butterfly knife ban, citing Supreme Court ‘history’ standard on guns [More]

Here ’tis…

More fine work from Alan Beck and Stephen Stamboulieh…

I notice Adam Winkler whining about Bruen creating an “impossible position.” Why they ever invited this guy to GRPC is beyond me– it’s not like he’s a pal.

Can you imagine if we started challenging other tyrannical edicts and programs based on historical understanding at the time of ratification? It could change everything.

Hell to Pay

Oberlin College Sues Insurers For Refusing To Cover $36 Million It Paid Gibson’s Bakery For Defamation And Other Torts (Update)- .
Four insurance companies have told the college to pound sand. Have you ever rooted for insurance companies ever? There’s a first for everything. [More]

I’ve been following this story for some time because I have a bit of history with Oberlin.

We actually drove there yesterday to tour a Frank Lloyd Wright house deeded to the college, and I had time to stop in at Gibson’s and buy a t-shirt.

I’ve always liked Wright even though I am presumptuous enough to question some of his design choices. I learned about Fallingwater in college and his son’s Wayfarer’s Chapel was a regular place we’d take visitors to see when we lived nearby in SoCal.

Here’s the house, and also there was the weirdest non sequitur of a sticker on the back of a sign at the entrance to the property:

This is No Time to Relax

With Oregon’s Legislature out of session and the first step in our Federal lawsuit to stop Ballot Measure 114 behind us, things may seem a bit “quiet” on the gun rights front. But like so much in life, things are boiling beneath the surface. [More]

Oregon gun owners need to take this time to understand their situation, recruit support, and get involved.

Nothing in Common

[Watch]

That the antis have glommed onto “self-defense” as an exclusionary qualifier was inevitable since that’s all the “common possessors” on our side ever talk about.

If we keep limiting ourselves that way, arms needed for the core purpose and all new technological developments restricted to military/police use will be forever denied to the people the Second Amendment was meant to apply to, and not just for “self-defense.”

I’m waiting for one of our legal influencers with a reach longer than mine to admit this and start using it.

Alternatively, I’m waiting for one of them to have the guts to challenge me on this and prove me wrong.

Hunter Punter

Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance Wednesday morning as he pleaded “not guilty” and federal prosecutors confirmed the president’s son is still under federal investigation. [More]

ATF just denied my latest FOIA request on the grounds that there’s an ongoing investigation. I’m looking into options, but this will no doubt delay things further, perhaps indefinitley, and part of me wonders if that’s the plan.

Even this guy’s lawyers are crooked.

What Price Treason?

Livermore’s police chief is criticizing Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price’s office for not pursuing tougher penalties against a suspect, who is a paroled convicted felon, accused in a violent robbery. [Watch]

It’s what Soros DAs do.

And it’s what the falsely entitled useful idiots who voted for this communist racist want.

Along with your guns, of course.

Life in the Briar Patch

The Biden administration was dealt a major blow in its efforts to control the ongoing border crisis on Tuesday when a federal judge blocked a rule introduced in May that makes migrants ineligible for asylum if they have entered illegally and failed to take advantage of expanded lawful pathways set up by the federal government. [More]

Since when has the Biden administration been trying to control the crisis, as opposed to pouring fuel on the fire?

Tigar’s a goddam Brit-born Berkeley grad and Obama appointee. And this sounds like exactly what the Democrats were hoping for.

Am I wrong to suspect controlled opposition Faux News of being controlled opposition Faux News again?

What am I missing?
