Psychological Lawfare

The federal lawsuit was filed Monday by Everytown Law on behalf of Sandra Torres, the mother of Eliahna Torres, who was fatally shot on May 24 at Robb Elementary along with 18 other children and two teachers. The lawsuit also includes the gun store that transferred the rifle to the shooter as well as police officers and agencies that were on site that day. [More]

Why would those who get away with eviscerating the Second Amendment with impunity give a damn about the First?

There’s no one’s grief these evil, blood-dancing bastards won’t exploit.

Doesn’t Everytown filing this when they know PLCAA is in play constitute a frivolous action designed to extort a settlement for which they could be countersued? It almost seems like a form of insurrection…

Far from the Madding Crowd

A New York Times analysis of more than 700 armed demonstrations found that, at about 77 percent of them, people openly carrying guns represented right-wing views, such as opposition to L.G.B.T.Q. rights and abortion access, hostility to racial justice rallies and support for former President Donald J. Trump’s lie of winning the 2020 election. [More]

As long as they’re going to bring up lies, just calling questioning the election “baseless” does not make it so, nor do demands to impose coercive Marxist wealth redistribution equate with racial justice.

I’d argue going unarmed anywhere you know violent communists are going to be is not prudent. Then again, I’d also argue for being very selective about joining public displays and the part you choose to play in this era of embedded provocateurs and seditious conspiracy trials…

I’ve been a speaker and observer over the decades. Ours wasn’t the side frothing with “hostility.” Another lesson learned: You don’t do yourself any favors or advance any issues by becoming a victim or a patsy.

‘Roadmap’ Latest ‘Commonsense’ Ploy to Advance Citizen Disarmament

What makes 97percent’s “roadmap” all the more insidious is that the organization is (at times) successfully employing a “divide and conquer” strategy by claiming to represent both “responsible” gun owners (as if opponents are irresponsible) as well as “bipartisan” (that is, RINO) interests. We’re essentially talking Fudds and Democrat gun owners, who place faith in centralized government disarmament diktats and hostility to “deplorables” above uninfringed freedom for their countrymen. [More]

In the third and final installment in this series, we look at the gun owners who are helping make the grand disarmament deception possible.

Can We All Get Along?

Received via email:

We’re sharing some advice for those challenging conversations with family members around the dinner table. We believe there are ways to discuss politics that include others and make them feel heard, not alienated. Check out our post below for a few tips on how to have conflict-free gatherings. [More]

Stop demanding to sic the jackboots on us to disarm us by force and we’ll get along just fine.

No matter how much 97percent tries to present itself as the “reasonable” alternative to find “common ground,” their supporters show they just can’t control their militant hostility.

Certifiable

Removes the national rifle association from the list of entities authorized to grant certificates as instructors in small arms practice [More]

Can it get more in-your-face that this is about the politics of destruction than this? Among other things, this seems like a blatant punitive violation of the First Amendment. Then again, why would that slow down someone who believes they can get away with eviscerating the Second?

But OK, just make sure none of the “authorized” instructors got their certifications from NRA. Then again, those imposing this won’t mind if a shortage means New Yorkers can’t get permits– they’re no doubt counting on it.

Maybe the Moms can do the training from now on. They claim to be “commonsense gun safety” experts.

Any gun or ammunition supplier who arms New York state enforcement entities is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

This, of course, is one more nose-thumbing at SCOTUS and its Bruen decision. It won’t stand unless we get court packing in the years it will take to go through the challenge and appeals process, and meanwhile, the state will have unlimited resources while the plaintiffs will have to scramble and compete for them.

‘Roadmap’ Latest ‘Commonsense’ Ploy to Advance Citizen Disarmament: Part Two

Let’s now look at the four “policy” infringements the 97percent group wants to see imposed under the force of law. [More]

This is Part Two of a three-part series exposing a group of “kinder, gentler” Astroturf gun-grabbers employing a divide-and-conquer strategy that low-information gun owners may fall for without an intervention by those who can see through the weasel words.

Terms of Surrender

New York Attorney General Letitia James today cracked down on online ammunition sellers illegally shipping ammunition to New York residents and failing to keep records of these sales. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that 39 ammunition sellers have been shipping ammunition directly to New York residents in violation of New York’s SAFE Act, which prohibits direct online sales of ammunition to New York residents. Attorney General James sent cease and desist orders to these ammunition sellers demanding that they stop shipping ammunition directly to New York and warned them of serious legal consequences if they continue to violate New York’s law. [More]

The maniac doesn’t presume to rule just New Yorkers.

So: Which ammo dealers are still selling to the state?

But let’s go to the “study” and see what gun owners will have to give up in order to achieve the “benefits” of “could” and “has the potential,” assuming they’re not just ignoring factors they have no solutions for and aren’t just making sh… uh… stuff up. [More]

Part One of a three-part series: Let’s unfold this “roadmap” and see where it leads.

Speaking of Ostriches

We’re taking an ostrich approach to enforcing gun laws — with deadly results [More]

Not that these head-in-the-sand eggheads have any “answers” besides disarming you and me without due full process.

The reason I decided to give this one a link is not for the article itself, but for some of the comments, just to show the mentality this appeals to. The fanatic in point goes by “AE,” who at least put the lie to the “No one wants to take your guns” excuse:

If it weren’t for the legal gun owners in this country there wouldn’t be a gun violence problem…

Here’s what happens if you disagree:

I’ll go slow. If it weren’t for all the fearful and compensating man boys fighting for unrestricted purchase and use of firearms, there wouldn’t be any firearms in today’s society. Thus, no illegal gun problem…

There is absolutely no point in “debating” with such as these, or in establishing “common ground” dialog, as some ostensibly on “our side” are doing.

Good News for Some

At last a little light is shining on the social engineers who have been using wokeness to debilitate American armed forces. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) have issued a report finding that indoctrinating the US military with Critical Race Theory and LGBT ideology has significantly weakened it… [More]

Amazing how the domestic enemies in charge fail at every goal in the Preamble that is the basis for assigning them delegated powers…

Under Oregon’s Measure 114, ‘Common Sense Gun Safety’ Means Shutting Down Gun Sales

“December 07, 2022 (Wednesday) will be the last day to purchase ANY firearm without a valid Oregon Firearm Purchase Permit.” [More]

The useful idiot dilettante billionaires bankrolling this abomination don’t care whose livelihoods are destroyed or whose rights are usurped as long as this wins them “progressive” accolades for being enlightened and benevolent. It’s not like they have to worry about what “those people” want.

Voting with Their Wallets

Oregon State Police saw a spike in requests for Firearms Instant Check System (FICS) background requests leading up to and especially following the midterm election. [More]

They’d better hurry:

While many assumed that the implementation date would be 30 days after the election was actually “certified” (given that votes were being counted long after Nov 7th) now we are being told the Secretary of State has no plans to wait and the ban of new gun sales and magazines will begin December 8th.

A Common Factor
