The Founders Knew About and Had No Problem with ‘Stabilizing Braces’

In light of the Bruen decision, where “text, history, and tradition” of the Second Amendment at the time it was written is what informs us as to what the Founders understood the right to protect, I couldn’t turn to the Borchardt – that would play right into the hands of the gun prohibitionists, who, unable to identify Founding-Era infringements have tried turning to later laws, including post-Civil War edicts intended to keep freed blacks disarmed.

Looking back even further in time, we find plenty of examples from the time the Bill of Rights was ratified proving the people of the Founding Era included pistols with shoulder stocks into the broader category of “arms.”

The Second Amendment is Not a Sporting Arms Popularity Contest

CALIFORNIA CAUGHT! 700,000 Machine Guns Claim Exposed in Duncan v. Bonta Case… [Watch]

Sorry, Mr. Smith, what you, and evidently every prominent voice on “our side” continually miss is that if “in common use at the time” does not cover what is in common use by the infantry, then the Second Amendment is meaningless and all future technological developments will be denied to We the People under the false doctrine of it being “dangerous and unusual.”

And yes, machineguns ARE supposed to be protected, and the tax is a fraudulent infringement imposed by usurping rights swindlers.

It’s “every terrible implement of the soldier.”

I’m probably going to have to write (another) article to elaborate.

More Than One Way to Skin a Cat

America has 20 million AR-15 style rifles in circulation, and more guns than people in the country [More]

No, of course, they don’t have the resources to go after them via the legal system.

Which doesn’t mean they don’t have ruthless plans to eliminate threats to totalitarianism another way…

Making Noise

SEN. MENENDEZ, REP. WATSON COLEMAN RENEW BICAMERAL EFFORT TO OUTLAW GUN SILENCERS … “Silencers are not tools of self-defense, they are tools of murder. [More]

That must be why it’s got a law enforcement exception.

The subversive wretch has been trying for years.

It will never get past the Republican House, but it’s useful to once more prove what these totalitarians are about is total control.

UPDATE

Carl Bussjaeger has some thoughts over at Zelman Partisans.

An Age-Old Question

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday backed an effort to lower the statewide age requirement to purchase a rifle, calling a current law that bars 18-year-olds from buying firearms “unconstitutional.” [More]

That’s because it is.

I wonder how many Democrats howling in indignant rage over this support lowering the voting age to 16…

A Good First Step

Delaware County judge blocks Columbus gun ordinance enforcement [More]

But there are still miles to go, this is not the only road to travel, and municipal governments have virtually unlimited tax plunder to throw at this, while rights defenders need to scrape for nickels.

If you’re an Ohio gun owner, are you helping with the load, either financially or through activism?

Time Bandits

Concord High School in Northern California is under pressure to give up its “Minutemen” mascot, reports Stephanie Magallon for NBC Bay Area. [More]

Forget those who cannot remember the past, they’re being ordered to forget it. The power to erase history is the power to direct the present and alter the future.

Totalitarians demand controlling infinity and eternity. It’s why they hate God.

Spitting on the Memory of Lexington and Concord

You can’t buy either a gun or ammunition anywhere in Sudbury, and one town resident wants to make sure it stays that way. An article brought through petition by resident Frank Riepe for consideration at spring Town Meeting would effectively ban the sale and manufacturing of guns and ammunition by changing the zoning code. [More]

I see the Tories are back.

The right to buy and sell is essential. Without it, there can be no keeping and bearing.

I checked the Masshole’s Facebook. He’s into Al Jazeera, the Brady Campaign, and Rachel Maddow.

Life Imitates Art

By not ruling on it the judge is putting us in limbo, making us choose between going to synagogue and leaving our pistols at home, or carrying a pistol but not going to pray. The law bans carrying a firearms in houses of worship and religious observation. This law is outrageous, and it makes us pick between engaging in religious observation or exercising our second amendment right. [More]

Making Jews choose between one or the other. Where have we seen that before?

The plea for help comes from these guys. And they ask to make checks payable to these guys.

I confess to not being familiar with these folks. In my copious free time, I’ll see what I can find out. In the meantime, if you have relevant knowledge, feel free to educate the rest of us in “Comments.”

The First of Many

The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners group is suing over two new laws – one that requires a minimum three-day waiting period before a firearm can be purchased and raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21 years old. [More]

Everybody kinda figured…

If I learn about any more today I’ll update this post.
