Something’s Fishy

CNN EXCLUSIVE ‘Something has to be done’: After decades of near-silence from the CDC, the agency’s director is speaking up about gun violence [More]

“Something must be done!”

Where have I heard THAT before?

I don’t suppose ol’ Rochelle has a rational answer to “What?”

And what’s with “decades of near silence“?

UPDATE

Well, I not only posted on an old story that’s a couple of years old but the very same story I cited in my above-linked AmmoLand piece. That’s what happens when I’m in a hurry, I guess…

Crying Shame

“We won’t shy away”: Mayors are shaming gunmakers [More]

No, the only ones who are being shameful are these petty incompetent tyrants. I wonder if you did an analysis of criminal members of their population what the rate would be.

What the gun makers should be ashamed of is continuing to arm these tin-pot dictator’s enforcers.

An Informed Opinion

From David T. Hardy, via an email discussion concerning SCOTUS declining to hear a challenge to New York concealed carry laws:

It just declined to grant a stay pending appeal (or, to be more exact, refused to overrule the 2nd Circuit’s decision to grant a stay), which is not really refusing to hear the case. The two dissenters suggested they were ready to jump down the 2nd Circuit’s throat if it didn’t do the right thing.

The 2nd Circuit is going to look at this case very carefully….

Napoleon, when someone was going into detail on a particular general’s military virtues and why he deserved promotion, cut him off with “Enough, tell me one thing — is he lucky?” Meaning, I think, does he get results that no one expected. The attorney in the case, Steven Stamboulieh, appears to be very, very, lucky. He is someone to watch, now and ten years from now when we in the old guard are gone.

Walking the Talk?

And despite a lot of these laws, gun ownership in the black community has been going up, because black people recognize that the government’s not going to be there to save them, it’s not going to protect them, and that they need to be able to defend themselves. [More]

Yeah, you can’t tell by this.

Still Repressive After All These Years

Back in the day, Democrats reacted to the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision requiring that they respect all Americans’ civil liberties with fury and a petulant campaign of massive resistance. What is old is new again – the Democrat Party is back in form, furious that SCOTUS will not let them steal our rights. This time it is gun rights. The Bruen decision made it clear that blue states cannot deny your right to keep and bear arms on a whim. And the libs have gone into overdrive to undermine it. [More]

That the lying totalitarian wannabes call themselves “liberals” is all we need to know.

Brace Yourselves

Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) introduced the Protecting Individual Sovereignty Through Our Laws Act, or PISTOL Act. This legislation would prevent the Biden Administration from regulating pistol braces by clarifying that what constitutes a “pistol” is not subject to bureaucratic interpretation, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has wrongly done in their recently finalized rule. [More]

I don’t see it listed under his name on GovTrack yet but consider the bill’s passage prognosis pretty much “0” with a Democrat Senate and president.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Get Back in the Water

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]

How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.

I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.

Maybe somebody’s got pictures?

Punching Back

SAF FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST ILLINOIS GUN BAN [More]

Look at all the legal actions, just for this group.

You’d better believe part of the enemy’s legal strategy is to use their virtually unlimited tax plunder resources to deplete their victims’ resources.

I’d really like to see a concerted effort by the “gun lobby” to go after qualified immunity for enforcers abetting tyranny.

Much Ado About What, Exactly?

Gaetz introduces ‘Abolish the ATF Act’ after ruling against stabilizing braces [More]

I don’t see any text yet, but my feeling is this is symbolic and doesn’t stand a chance of becoming law, especially considering the state of the Senate.

Besides, unless you abolish the functions, all you’re doing is kicking the can down the road and handing it to a bigger agency like the FBI, that’s better able to bury its crimes.

We’re the Only Ones Supported Enough

“The community is very supportive and I am grateful they took the time to educate themselves on the process of how obtaining these firearms takes place,” Wendt told The Daily Beast in a Tuesday text message, confirming the reinstatement and the stipulation. “I wish journalists would do the same and realize this is an attack on the 2nd amendment and not just about me.” [More]

I’ll bite. If it’s about the Second Amendment, could I do it?

An Age-Old Question

At first, he thought it was his uncle, but when he looked out the window, he saw a strange man coming towards his house. The teen who grew up hunting and taking safety training courses went right for his mother’s 9mm gun. [More]

Assuming the story happened as retold, what could the outcome have been had she followed the advice of all the “experts” — or obeyed “the law” where so mandated — and kept it locked up and separated from its ammunition?

UPDATE

And leave it to CNN to lead the charge.

Yes, They are Coming for Your Guns

In HB101, which was filed today by Representative Andrea Romero, if you own a semi-automatic rifle you would have to destroy it or surrender it to the state by July 1 of this year or you would be committing a felony. The bill also makes it a felony to own a magazine that holds more than 9 rounds. [More]

At some point, there have to be stiff sanctions for in-your-face defiance of the SCOTUS ruling or they’ll just keep pulling this sh!+.

Dotard-in-Chief Doubling Down on Stupid

“We have to retrain cops. Why should you always shoot with deadly force? The fact is if you need to use your weapon, you don’t have to do that,” idiot Biden said…“I love my right-wing friends talking about how the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots. If you want to take on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don’t need an AR-15,” Biden said. [More]

He’s made these asinine comments before. That his handlers are still letting him make them bears watching, especially if there’s anything to the speculation that he is increasingly seen as a liability.
