Use Your Words?

As a condition of his plea agreement, Bartlett apologized in court Tuesday and admitted that his words were hateful. [More]

Don’t fall for provocations, especially if armed. Assume everyone has the means to record you. And realize that Chicom-inspired struggle sessions to punish “wrong thinking” are now the law of the land.

Ransom Paid

Polymer80, the nation’s largest producer of at-home gun assembly kits — sometimes called “ghost guns” because they typically come without serial numbers and are impossible to trace — agreed to pay $5 million in penalties to settle a civil suit, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office.

Connect the Dots

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court in Sackett v EPA issued a major ruling cutting back on the authority of the EPA and by extension all federal executive branch agencies such as the ATF to enact laws via regulations. The Sackett opinion contains powerful language that can likely be used against the ATF in various contexts including in the ongoing legal fights over the bump stock ban and the pistol brace rules. Mark Smith breaks it down. [Watch]

If you think about it, this is also a powerful argument against the phony “single issue” deflection.

It’s all related. That’s because it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.

A Law Unto Themselves

Giffords Courage to Fight Gun Violence and March for Our Lives, gun control groups headed by former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords and antigun billionaire Michael Bloomberg, respectively, are canvassing campuses to convince law students to sign a pledge they won’t represent the firearm industry or firearm owners when it comes to protecting and preserving Second Amendment rights. [More]

So much for oaths of admission requiring support for the Constitution and then turning around and declaring violations of a keystone of the Bill of Rights must be ignored.

You’d think that “engag[ing] in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice” would result in not being admitted to/being booted from the bar.

In any case, they’ll probably all be busy suing Christian bakers for refusing to provide services to people they don’t agree with.

Gun prohibitionists are traitors.

Where Every Day is Opposite Day

Pistol braces are popular accessories intended to increase the accuracy and stability of AR-15-style pistols. [More]

Just to be clear, the “commonsense gun safety law” prohibitionists, the violence monopoly beneficiaries, and their enforcers are all trying to gaslight voters into believing it’s in the public interest for firearms to be more inaccurate and unstable.

That’s Orwellian, fanatical, and insane, in other words, SOP for Bloomberg’s The Trace. The only people who would support such absurd, destructive diktats are stupid, evil, or both.

Mock Up

And from Gun Owners of America, via email alert:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 23, 2023

Washington, D.C. — Gun Owners of America (GOA) issued the following statements after the 5th Circuit Court partially enjoined the Biden Pistol Brace Ban this morning. GOA and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) had filed an amicus brief in Mock v. Garland, as well as filed their own challenge to the rule in conjunction with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a different federal court.

“This is an encouraging step from the Fifth Circuit, and we hope that the judge in our own case will see this ruling and in turn grant a more robust injunction to relief the millions of Americans nationwide who may soon be in legal jeopardy,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior VP. “This is just the latest attempt by the Biden Administration to weaponize federal agencies against the American people, and we will continue to stand in the way in defense of our rights.”

“This injunction is welcome news, but due to it’s limited nature, we still need Congress to act before the June 1st deadline,” said Aidan Johnsotn, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs. “189 Representatives and 47 Senators have already signed on, and we urge the Speaker to put this on the floor for a vote and force Democrats in both chambers to vote on whether to make their constituents felons overnight.”

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.

Columbus Files Yet Another Lawsuit Seeking to Infringe Gun Rights [More]

It’s not Zach Klein’s money being squandered and it gets his name in the papers. When you think about it, that’s a special kind of contemptible. And anyone stupid or biased enough to vote for him in the first place won’t let a little thing like repeated losses keep them from pushing a proven apparatchik for higher office.

Even if he is that most loathsome of creatures along the lines of Bill Kristol, Joe Scarborough, and Joe Walsh:

A Viahycon turned Democrat.

Not Now

The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a request to block state and local laws barring the sale of assault-style weapons in Illinois while a group of challenges to those laws continues in the lower courts. There were no dissents publicly recorded from the unsigned order, nor did the justices provide any explanation for their decision. [More]

I’m going to resist reading more into this for now.
