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]

Ah, the Scarborough Doctrine of authorized free speech exercisers…

And don’t forget Hogg’s Resurrected Postulate…

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.”

And I still don’t trust you.

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.

A Subject Matter Expert

“After reading about the history of the second amend and talking with a lot of hist & law professors- I believe the second amendment has been intentionally misinterpreted. It was never meant as an individual right it was created to protect state militias like the national guard.” [More]

What did he read and who did he talk to?

Is there anything more endearing than ignorance presented with arrogance? Now that he’s achieved Constitutional godhead, maybe he can produce the evidence ACLU failed to back before he was born…?

Challenging False Authority

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed an amended federal complaint challenging the Biden administration’s new “Arm Brace Rule,” accusing the government of violating the Administrative Procedures Act, the Second Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. [More]

And the damning thing is, the government knows it’s violating all of those things.

‘Bipartisan’ Gun Controller Fitzpatrick Shows Why Being “Republican’ is Not Enough

And based on supporting candidates like party switch-hitter Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, Tom Ridge, and Brian Fitzpatrick, a critical mass of Pennsylvania Republicans is demonstrably willing to throw gun owners under the bus in exchange for the false promise of “less government.” They’re the useful idiot “bourgeoisie” the Democratic Socialists are counting on being asleep. This also explains why disarming them is such a priority. [More]

With “Republicans” like Fitzpatrick, who needs Democrats?

Not the Last Rung

Senate Bill 41 containing both repeal of our archaic Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit law and the provision to allow concealed carry in churches which sponsor schools passed the NC Senate today by an overwhelming margin of 29-19. [More]

Now is no time to relax the pressure. In the words of Yogi Berra, it ain’t over ’til it’s over.

Think of What You’re Advocating

Anthony McRae, the gunman who killed three people and wounded five others at Michigan State University on Monday, was arrested in June 2019 and charged with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit. [More]

This is where I depart from all the “gun rights defenders” thinking that should have been enough to keep him in jail. They believe in the Second Amendment but…?

Enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

Text 911 and Die

Ohioans in danger may soon be able to text 911 [More]

I guess, but the same problems of police being minutes away when seconds count and having no duty to protect will still apply. Plus, by the time most victims enter a PIN, pull up the text app and try to type out an intelligible message with shaking thumbs, the danger may be passed — for the attacker, who may be happy for the free phone.

Besides, I never did much subscribe to the “Only Ones” being the only ones, and plan on having my hands full.

Maybe if co-sponsor State Rep. Kent Smith spent less time abetting the undermining of his constituents’ rights and more time protecting and advancing them, the need for such calls would fall dramatically.

Attempts to Exploit MSU Shootings Run into Inconvenient Truths

Besides, a “gunman” (note the implied pejorative – “Scumbag Murderer” is much more apt) intent on slaughtering human beings is not likely to be deterred by “gun laws,” and this one was no exception. [More]

The killer may not help advance their narrative as much as the gun-grabbers were hoping for.
