The Spirit of the Law

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act Jurisdiction Act, which protects law-abiding American firearm manufacturers and sellers by creating an independent basis for removing frivolous lawsuits against them to federal court, especially those predicated on illegal use of their products by unrelated third parties. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced the House version of the bill. [More]

That’s because “because the PLCAA does not contain an independent basis for removal to federal court, state courts must look to the federal question jurisdiction statute (28 U.S.C. 1331) triggering the ‘well-pled complaint rule.’”

Clear?

Clearer than “shall not be f—–g infringed”?

I can’t find a prognosis yet, so let’s just assume “Not bloody likely.”

About That Rumor

Despite the widespread speculation, here’s what we actually know:

A private criminal complaint was filed against Shapiro. The Butler County District Attorney disapproved the complaint. There is no official confirmation of any criminal charges or federal investigation. Social media claims of a cover-up remain unverified. [More]

For what it’s worth, he’s a Democrat

That said, I join in cautioning not to leap to any illusions. Just from a making sense standpoint, it doesn’t.

And that said, boy, wouldn’t it be rich?

The New Chicxulub Impactor

For the permanent bureaucracy, this wasn’t just change. It was an extinction-level event. [More]

No wonder political dinosaurs are bellowing and screaming in rage, confusion, and terror.

Let’s hope this isn’t wishful thinking hyperbole. I have a tough time viewing those with near absolute power as being my leaders in revolution restoration.

Cutting Off Her Nose to Spite Her Face

“Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,” Pohutsky said. “I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate.” [More]

Tommy Lee…?

A Self-Created Problem

Under current law, New York’s governor has 10 days to declare a special election for a vacant seat and an additional 80 to 90 days to hold the election. Stefanik’s seat is key for the Republican Party and Trump’s second administration, as Republicans hold a slim majority at 218 members to the Democrats’ 215 members. [More]

So why does Trump think it’s more important to have a UN ambassador?

Two Birds, One Stone

“With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender.” [More]

So, does that explain it?

Gun Control Activist David Hogg Elected Vice Chair of DNC

Ugly, irrational, and extreme: Keep turning off everyone who’s not the same, Democrats.

The People’s Billionaire?

I can’t say I’ll be sorry to see those names go. That said, it’s legitimate to concern ourselves with who she intends to replace them with, especially considering her past and continued support of rabid (and influential) gun-grabbers.

Trump’s Gun Pledges Forgotten In First Week On The Job

Unprecedented Onslaught of Executive Actions Aimed at Fulfilling Campaign Promises, But Nothing for Guns [More]

He promised ““Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” but since taking office has not done anything about it.

Speaking of Not Knowing When to Keep Your Damn Mouth Shut

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he was afraid there will be “more violence” as a result of President Donald Trump’s January 6 pardons. [More]

Yeah, but like with Ashli Babbitt, who’s it coming from?

That’s great, Lindsey. Media and Senate Democrats will like you now, right?

Exciting the Morons

I just introduced a resolution to amend the 22nd Amendment to allow President Trump to seek a third term. Read the details. [More]

I don’t need to. It’s a dumb idea and you know yourself it will never get the majorities needed to amend the Constitution, which means this is just a cheap ploy to get attention. And it’s a two-edged sword.

How about instead you use your suck-up influence with Trump to ask him when he’s going to do some actions to protect the Second Amendment, like he promised on the campaign trail?

Here We Go Again

Recall Effort For Governor Newsom To Start Accepting Signatures [Watch]

These videos would be a lot more useful if they gave a link so viewers could sign up.

Say they succeed: Will California Republicans betray principled voters again like they did with Arnhole, or give them — including gun owners– a candidate who makes a dime’s worth of difference?

The Avalanche Starting Zone

Today, the 2025 New Mexico Legislative Session officially started. This year is a 60-day session that will allow a large number of bills to be heard. Only a few of the bills we are expecting this year have been filed so far – below is a list of the key bills we are watching. [More]

Red flags, “weapon conversion devices,” juvenile records, and more on the way… and yeah, “consitutional carry,” but there’s this

The Best Revenge

“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement. [More]

Looks like they may have just been  outmaneuvered into a corner. Guilt will be obvious when, no longer eligible to plead the Fifth Amendment, the truth of what they did, which will be more damaging to the Democrats, comes out.

Once More Unto the Breach…

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today introduced the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA) to ensure that states are prohibited from banning the manufacture, sale, importation, or possession of any rifle or shotgun that is lawfully permitted under federal law. [More]

Looks like they’ve been trying to get traction on this since at least 2017…
