The Replacement

So bring in a player for the other team..

This is why taking back the Senate is so critical. Even with the four Republicans abstaining, she was still confirmed along party lines.

A Different Set of Rules

Biden calls son Hunter’s ‘resilience’ amid gun trial charges ‘inspiring’ [More]

Now let you get caught gaming NICS.

The gaslighting hypocrisy from these people is so in-your-face it stuns, which means it’s working.

Now go out and see if you can find any of the major “commonsense gun safety” prohibitonist groups that are demanding “universal background checks” condemning Hunter, demanding he be made an example of, and publicly pushing back against Joe shrugging things off.

Ignorance is No Excuse – Neither is Subversion

It is difficult to imagine a situation where accurately firing from 1,000 yards would be necessary to defend oneself … We need not conclude that the right to train with firearms is a necessarily protected right under the Second Amendment. [More]

Of course it is, you lying morons.

Leave it to “common sense gun safety” prohibitionists to not want you trained. More likely they just don’t want you to have rifles that can reach out and touch someone…

Fudds take note.

So, no one told this federal court about the Civilian Marksmanship Program, created by federal law, and its Highpower Rifle Competition Rules and Table 7?

Just like the Miller court “[could not] take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore [could not] say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon”…

The Second Amendment doesn’t have the limits these Sixth Circuit apparatchiks (one appointed by Obama and two by the “Vote Freeedom First President“) presume. And thus they help to advance the likelihood of the very situation they find so difficult to imagine.

The damned fools…

Mr. Biden’s Neighborhood

Joe Biden Visits Hunter’s Ex Before She Likely Testifies in Gun Trial [More]

Can you say “witness tampering”?

I knew you could…

Oh, and look who else he’s using:

Joe and Hunter Biden used a visit to Sandy Hook memorial service to set up secret meet with Chinese over $10m-a-year deal, new emails reveal

There’s big money in blood dancing.

Responding in Kind

Thursday, 5/23/24 Connecticut Citizens Defense League filed a Response Brief in the Grant v. Lamont case. This brief is asking the court to reconsider our preliminary injunction that was denied by Judge Arterton prior to her retirement. If successful, injunctive relief could halt the CT Assault Weapons Ban while the case is in court. The Connecticut Assault Weapons Ban is an unjust restriction of our 2A rights under the scrutiny of the Bruen decision, we will keep on fighting until we reclaim what is ours. [More]

In the meantime, don’t stop doing what it takes…

As The Wheels Grind Slowly Forward

Hunter Biden loses last-minute appeal to dismiss gun charges [More]

Any doubts if this were you or me we’d already have our place in genpop?

Meanwhile, DOJ tells me they’ve found some documents, although why they just can’t cite where they presume to get their authority from is beyond me, so I smell more go-through-the-motions stalling.

And I just had an idea. I want to run it by my advisors first.

Busting More Than Blocks

Six petitions have been filed seeking review of that determination: Harrel v. Raoul, Herrera v. Raoul, Barnett v. Raoul, National Association for Gun Rights v. City of Naperville, Illinois, Langley v. Kelly, and Gun Owners of America, Inc. v. Raoul. Given the ubiquity of AR- and AK-type firearms, this case will likely be a blockbuster if granted. [More]

And what will it likely be if it’s not?

Always Think Forfeiture

The latest high court action came in a 6-3 decision in Culley v. Marshall, where the justices held that there are “no due process protections for citizens in asset forfeiture proceedings to have an early court hearing to contest the government keeping possession of their seized property while they await trial.” [More]

“6-3″…? The Democrats voted right and the “pro-gun” judges voted wrong…?

What’s a government with an unlimited war chest stripping innocent-until-proven-guilty defendants of resources to defend themselves have to do with guns?

Ask the Reese family (and you’ll need to use the Wayback Machine to access my old Gun Rights Examiner links.)

I wonder if the majority got new Leathermans…

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringement’ Is

NRA-ILA Announces Lawsuit Challenging Delaware’s New Permit-to-Purchase Law [More]

Asking and paying the government for permission to exercise a right… yeah, that’s what the Founders had in mind.

And that law was passed by people who put their hand on a Bible or whatever , raised the other, and swore an oath before God and country.

Figures they’re the ones who gave us Biden.

Saying No to Cartel-Sanctioned Lawfare

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Smith & Wesson in its legal fight against the government of Mexico, which seeks to hold the American gun manufacturer liable for criminal acts of third parties in Mexico. [More]

Yes, real threats from the open border directly impact the “single issue” in more ways than one.

Everyone realizes the government there would not exist without cartel sanction? A loyal American State Department would have Obrador on the carpet begging us not to cut back on trade and handout benefits.

You Talkin’ to Me?

“Are you raising your eyebrows at me?” Merchan shouted at Costello. “Were you staring at me?” He sounded like a paranoid schizophrenic. A nut on the street. The psychopath in the movie Taxi Driver. [More]

Is anyone under the illusion he’s anything but a Democrat apparatchik?

One critique: The way this is presented with the byline “By James,” it’s not clear if this is his voice or Dershowitz’s…

Missing in Action

SCOTUS urged to hear Mexico’s lawsuit blaming US gun makers for cartel violence – GOP AGs say ‘anti-gun activists’ trying to blame US gun manufacturers for Mexico’s bad policy choices [More]

Once more I see my guy, Dave Yost, AWOL…

And once more I’ll ask him why.

Risky Business

The short version is that Oberlin College asserted that the insurers wrongfully refused to settle the case prior to trial, blaming the insurers not the college for the ultimate trial debacle… [More]

I’m surprised anyone will still insure them. Those companies are quick enough to cancel gun owners.

I’ve been following Oberlin happenings for a while, and for a while before that.

Coincidentally, guess what I just happen to be wearing right now, seriously, not staged or I’d have done my hair:

And as long as we’re on the subject of insurance claims, let me introduce you to one of my guilty entertainment pleasures…

Battle Plans

SAF PREPARING FOR SCOTUS FALL HEARING IN VANDERSTOK CASE [More]

I’m not sure the “Authority to regulate firearms is solely in the hands of Congress” argument won’t ultimately come back to bite us. Perhaps if someone could point out which clause in the Constitution delegates the authority to override “shall not be infringed,” my worries would be quelled…

Disarm or Die

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has thrown out the conviction of a homeless man who kept guns in his car while seeking kidney treatment at UNC Hospitals in 2021. Appellate judges agreed the state law used to convict Joseph John Radomski III unconstitutionally restricted his Second Amendment rights. [More]

So, who was the @$$hole “Only One,” and what does that tell us about talking to police?

And they couldn’t find one juror to do the right thing?

As an aside, the FIJA folks need to create ballot measures to demand jury instructions be changed. Even if they don’t succeed, it will spread the word and awaken citizens to this power most don’t know they have.

Whatever the Brace May Be

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a reply brief with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in its challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regarding arm braces for pistols. [More]

In truth, we have an absolute right to keep and bear short-barreled rifles as well, and the damn tyrants denying them to us know it.

Making the Federalists’ Argument Against a Bill of Rights for Them

“If you take ‘the people’ at the founding of the country, that means only white property owners have the right to bear arms,” McHugh said. In that case, McHugh pointed out, neither she nor Stevenson would be allowed to bear arms today. [More]

“Allowed…”?

Ah, the old “rights are granted” fraud. That this ignoranus is sitting on a federal bench is an obscene travesty.

And no one challenged her to show where in the Consitution it said the government was delegated the authority to disarm any free person?

Black Rights Matter

Dexter Taylor Sentenced 10 Years for Building His Own Firearms After Judge Banned Mentions of Second Amendment – “She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.’” [More]

Sounds like the wrong person is behind bars.

Both ‘Sides’ Ignoring the Instinctive Truth

Likening drug users to people who are “mentally ill and dangerous,” the ruling says barring them from owning firearms is not unconstitutional on its face. [More]

vs.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just said that the felon in possession of firearms statute may not apply to nonviolent felons. [Watch]

They did it!

They missed the barn!

The Blame Game

Hawaii tourist dies on Maui beach, and wife alleges state failed to warn her about snorkeling danger – Patti Johnson believes her husband’s snorkeling death off the coast of Maui could have been prevented had he known about a little-known danger [More]

Because we all know whose responsibility it is to make sure you know what you’re doing.

And why stop there? I’ll bet there was no warning or safety indicator on the snorkel, and those gear manufacturers and dealers have deep pockets.

Fourth Generational Lawfare

llegal protests on university campuses have already triggered a number of legal actions, but so far the lawsuits likely to be most successful, and most effective at strongly discouraging similar criminal activity in the future – class actions brought by as few as one student or faculty member – seem to be overlooked, says a class action expert. [More]

Hoist them with their own petard.

And this may be viscerally satisfying, but I think this guy’s going to regret it.
