FBI gun retrieval orders from failed background checks hits historic high: report [More]
You gotta wonder if this is a ploy to extend the three-business day rule to “indefinitely.”

The Look at Me I’m On Your Side Act
Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) reintroduced a bill which would require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to destroy firearm purchase records in their database. [More]
“Reintroduced”?
What are the chances of it passing this time? Does Michael Cloud know that?
The guy’s got a pretty good record. Hollow patronizing does not improve it.

Meet Your Disarmers
Democrats on Friday introduced a bill to ban so-called “assault weapons” in Colorado. Sponsored by Rep. Elisabeth Epps and Sen. Rhonda Fields, the bill “prohibits a person from manufacturing, importing, purchasing, selling, offering to sell, or transferring ownership of an assault weapon,” as well as rapid-fire trigger activators, according to the document.

Who’s up for complying?

The Real Conspirators
Illinois judge rules state’s gun ban and registry unconstitutional [More]
That the people have to go to court because the government– where everyone involved swore an oath — is determined to violate the Constitution says much about the treasonous scoundrels in political power.
It also explains why under tyranny, “seditious conspiracy” seems more like a civic duty than a crime.

UPDATE
And Pritzker is appealing to judges who owe their seats to his inherited money.
This is by far the bigger story, meaning don’t look for the DSM to give a damn. Maybe we can at least urge the “gun rights” folks with a longer reach to use it.
NMSSA Legislative Update 3/1/23
Today’s legislative action got off to a wild start when the governor threatened to hold a special session to focus on gun control if the legislature doesn’t pass her priority bills. [More]
Ask yourself why she wants them this badly, and if getting them will be enough for her.
Full of Sound and Fury
Republican Texas Rep. Michael Cloud reintroduced a bill to require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to destroy gun purchase records they have in their database as the agency cracks down on gun stores. [More]
Fine and good.
Wake me when there’s a Senate willing to pass it and a president willing to sign it.
He Got the ‘Hell’ Part Right
Biden vows to ban assault weapons ‘come hell or high water’ [More]
I wonder how many millions of American citizens he and the cheering fools are willing to have killed enforcing it.
A Waiting Game
“New York has once again adopted a law we believe is unconstitutional, and we’re confident the federal court will bring an end to this nonsense. It’s time for lawmakers in Albany to stop trying to outsmart the U.S. Supreme Court.” [More]
I think what they’re doing is much more insidious than that.
They have tax cows they can milk for legal war chest funds, all the while depleting their victims’ resources to fight back. And they’re counting on extending things in the courts long enough for the Republicans to blow it yet again, so the Democrats can stack the court and reverse Bruen.

We Have Some Good News and Some Bad News…
A handful of House and Senate bills are beginning to work their way through the state’s legislative process, as the Ohio Legislature’s 135th General Assembly gets underway. The first three, as currently written, would reduce firearms regulations and expand Second Amendment rights. [More]
Biased Ruling Supporting Semiauto Ban Enabled by Sham Confirmations
Who but someone willfully deluding herself, a liar, or both, would deliberately ignore that the militia is comprised of citizens “capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time”? Its function was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. And these citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The militia did not assemble on the green bearing torches and pitchforks. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. [More]
And worst of all, this robed … thing … was confirmed by a Republican majority Senate.
We’re the Only Ones Exclusive Enough
Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in testifying for SB 150 * stated, “I’m a staunch opponent of open carry. We don’t need open carry in Florida. I don’t think that it serves a good purpose for Florida.” [More]
Because then they’d be able to do what WE do…?
That’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, sheriff…
A Confession or a Boast?
NY 2A Defendant Admits to US Federal Appeals Court that New Gun Law Violates 2A [More]

UPDATE
I just got the related alert from SAF. It’s not on their News page at this posting, so I copied and pasted the email on my Placeholder site.
Seems the DA didn’t want to be left hanging on defending the indefensible.
Reluctant My… Eye
Old Racist Gun Laws Enter Modern-Day Legal Battles – Government lawyers reluctantly cite historical laws that kept guns from Blacks, Native Americans and Catholics [More]
The only reluctance is in being exposed for what they are. That and admitting that over the citizens they really want to disarm, the Founders intended for them to be powerless to infringe.

It’s Not Like the Bill of Rights was Meant for the People…
The ruling is major for many reasons, including that the government tried to claim that charter boat fishing is a “closely-regulated industry” to which the Fourth Amendment does not apply. [More]

OK Up to a Point
Unelected ATF just made a new “law” that turns 40M law-abiding gun owners into felons for owning a pistol brace. Latest example of the bureaucratic state making laws undermining our freedom and democracy. This must stop. [Watch]
Fine and good, Tulsi. Well stated and much is correct, but”gun rights” proponents need to stop asserting Congress is the body that should be able to ban guns. There’s no delegated power that negates “shall not be infringed.”

Back the Redcoats!
“You can say you back the blue but if you don’t back gun control and gun availability, you don’t back the blue.” [More]
Jim Kenney said it, I believe it, that settles it.
And this is why I never say that and challenge those who do.

Forced to Cover Old Ground
The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in the case of Miller v. Bonta, challenging California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” have filed a responding brief in the case, countering defense arguments and strategies already rejected by federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. [More]
California knows that, of course. Anything to impede.
