As long as we’re talking about “Only Ones” in Massachussetts, WarOnGuns Correspondent Edmund M sends a reminder of our place:

https://www.mass.gov/how-to/apply-for-a-firearms-license

In a comment to article on boston.com on fraud within a Boston NPO, a reader recommended that others apply for a Massachusetts License to Carry Firearms (LTC) so that they could better exercise their right to self defense. A Massachusetts LTC is required to purchase or possess a firearm unless the gun owner is in transit through the state and has the firearm and ammo in a locked enclosure. Stop and stay? Felony arrest for possession of a firearm without a valid LTC with a possible mandatory one year minimum incarceration if found guilty. What is not obvious from the instructions is that a resident LTC is multi year while a nonresident LTC is for one year only. As a former Massachusetts resident who possessed and renewed a resident LTC several times, I know that that the right to keep and bear arms is not a right but a heavily taxed privilege with a higher rate of taxation for nonresidents. Even resident retired LEO possessors of a LEOSA issued license pay a tax, although at a discounted rate compared to other residents.

My friends and family in Massachusetts do not understand why I minimize my visits. Short of a SCOTUS decision that all licensing schemes by the various states are unconstitutional, null and void, I await Federal reciprocity legislation but fully expect Democrat Party controlled Massachusetts to pass some reactionary measures.

The government maintained site is defective as it does not specify that non-resident licenses are for one year only.

I do not recall that the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights has so many categories for rights that in reality are taxable privileges at various rates that the government may or may not dispense once you pay the non-refundable tax. As a right, there should not be taxation or multiple categories of taxation. The majority of states already are in alignment with this by not requiring state or Commonwealth issued licenses or permits.

$100 per year is ornerous and is another argument for passage of reciprocity legislation at worst or for the SCOTUS to decide that all firearm licensing and permitting schemes are unconstitutional and thus null and void.

If any state or Commonwealth imposed these type of conditions, restrictions and fees before citizens were allowed to vote then there would be vigorous and loud opposition.

We’re the Only Ones Ditching Enough

Former L.A. County Sheriff Ditches Democrat Party: ‘Joining the Party of Faith, Family, and Freedom’ [More]

Just what Republicans need, another gungrabbing Vichycon:

In an interview with the Los Angeles Airport Peace officer’s association on Nov 11, 2021, LA county Sheriff Alex Villanueva Said if he could he would ban the sale of all Semi-Automatic rifles with detachable magazines.

Permits… getcher permits…

We’re the Only Ones Compensated Enough

Mayor John Whitmire has finalized a contract agreement with the Houston Police Officers’ Union to raise the salary of first-year police officers to $81,000. The agreement, which also includes expanded benefits, will make Houston’s 5,200 police officers the highest-paid in Texas. Previously, officers’ first-year salary was set around $60,000. [More]

That’s a heck of a raise. When’s the last time a private company offered you that kind of increase?

And since this is WarOnGuns, we might ask how Whitmire is on our issue.

He’s fine for expanding them for “Only Ones” to allow armed children on the force. That’s what the citizen disarmament lobby calls them, especially when they want to exclude 18 to 20-year-olds from the Second Amendment, right?

And then there’s what he had in mind for you…

Gracias por Su Servicio

A shocking interview revealed that active duty service members got in the way of a Colorado raid that ended in the arrest of over 100 illegal aliens, with a DEA agent explaining that soldiers were acting as armed security for dangerous gang members in a drug-filled underground nightclub. [More]

So, what is it they’ve been recruiting…?

We’re the Only Ones Picking Low-Hanging Fruit Enough

According to a probable cause affidavit, the sheriff’s office was notified of an FBI Guardian Tip, similar to a Crime Stoppers tip, that Allen “was possibly planning (an) attack”… Investigators said Allen used various online platforms, including TikTok, Instagram and Discord, to post threats about committing a mass shooting. [More]

So, essentially, the moron Fauxnly One, who fantasized he was one of them, ratted himself out.

We’re the Only Ones Exposed Enough [More]

Don’t ask.

Then there’s:

The gun industry could face civil damages for the misuse of firearms in limited circumstances in Connecticut under product liability legislation passed by the House and sent to the Senate on Wednesday. Passage of House Bill 7042 came on a largely party-line vote of 100 to 46 in the House, where Democrats have a 102-49 majority. Five Democrats were opposed and five Republicans in favor. [More]

With “Republicans” like these, who needs Democrats?

The five Republicans in favor were Chris Aniskovich of Clinton, Devin Carney of Old Saybrook, Tina Courpas of Greenwich, Tom Delnicki of South Windsor and Tracy Marra of Darien.

If I were CCDL, I’d be spitting on their treachery at their “social media” accounts.

We’re the Only Ones Four-Dimensional Enough

A hearing in which a judge will consider a full order of protection is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Monday in a St. Louis County courtroom. A ruling could also impact the Sheriff’s ability to carry a gun. Typically, subjects are required to surrender their firearms, but there is often an exemption for police officers, who are sometimes required to turn in their guns before the end of each shift. [More]

How does that work, when he’s safe in this time and space, and unsafe in another?

We’re the Only Ones Award-Winning Enough

Saggio, of West Islip, and his mistress, 32-year-old Dana Ciardullo, of East Meadow, were busted in October alongside Islip gym teacher Steven Arey, 54, and veteran six-time Suffolk “Cop of the Month” George Trimigliozzi, 56, in a sweeping 58-count indictment accusing them of enterprise corruption and promoting prostitution, court records show. [More]

And now he can be a model prisoner.
