Notes from the Resistance
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has seen a proliferation of snipers—equipped with a variety of rifles—on both sides. Here, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject of military sniping takes a look at the combatants, along with their arms and ammunition. [More]
Most idiot gun-grabbers have no idea what they will unleash here if they keep squeezing.

Why the Second Amendment Applies Especially to Travelers [More]
Good stuff. I’m surprised this was left out:
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
And yeah, I’m hip to “give.”
Particularly after Heller and McDonald, as recently reaffirmed by Bruen, the government certainly cannot prevent Petitioner from exercising his Second Amendment right to keep firearms in the home. And the Second Circuit may not use Torvicia’s exercise of that constitutional right to render him vulnerable to government searches and seizures of his
firearms which violate Fourth Amendment protections but for some atextual, judge-invented special needs exception. [More]
“Single issue” apologists and flat-out deceivers take note.

THE 28th AMENDMENT – My proposal to repeal and replace the 2nd Amendment – Michael Moore [More]
I’m just remembering when NRA didn’t have the guts to repeal and replace Michael Moore.
I am getting a kick out of “Comments,” particularly where animaladjusted leftists are melting down over this:
“Remove (a) licensed hunters of game … We don’t need to abuse and shoot wildlife but need to protect it … Hunters aren’t conservationists, they just use this as a sorry excuse for their bloody wildlife abuse and murder … Agree. It’s toxic masculinity at its best…”
You hear that, Fudds? They’re coming for you.
Polyphemus may have promised to eat you last, but eat you he will.

Hoover’s lawyers asked Howard last week to rule that the National Firearms Act, a 1934 law that restricted machine gun ownership by creating a tax and license requirement on them, conflicts with the U [sic] Constitution’s Second Amendment guarantee of a right to bear arms. [More]
If the standard is whether NFA is consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding, of course, it conflicts.
Whether the rulers will admit that or not is a whole ‘nother story.

Has The Constitutional Right to Bear Arms Outlived Its Usefulness? Intelligence Squared Debate [More]
More like Square-Rooted. A Pynchon quote comes to mind. Who but someone who misses the point, or more likely, wants you to, would ask such a question?
I like the way they kick the whole thing off by spreading an unchallenged “Constitution gives rights” fallacy, following that up with a mention of Heller, which specifically repudiated that by citing Cruikshank.
I find it telling that RealClear Politics picks now to resurrect a 2013 video to republicize the results:
Nothing like picking a conditioned and insulated New York audience with confirmation biases making them immune to reasoned evidence to guarantee an outcome.
It is a First Amendment case known as Junior Sports Magazine, Inc., et al, v. Bonta. Joining SAF in the motion are the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc., the CRPA Foundation, Gun Owners of California, California Youth Shooting Sports Foundation, Redlands California Youth Clay Shooting Sports, Inc., and Junior Sports Magazines, Inc. [More]
So there’s more to this than a “sick marketing ploy“?
I can’t wait for them to win and see NRA take credit!
I’ll also rest my case on maintaining all the “single issue” excuses offered up here are a load of transparently evasive hooey.
California’s New Gun Control Law Designed To Bankrupt The Gun Industry [Watch]
Colion Noir expands on the latest Golden State gun and speech grab.
The ambitious Newsom can get away with that with an industry basically comprised of rope-welling capitalists.
And as Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:
This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.
The wannabe totalitarians are engaging in more than tyranny. Deliberately undermining “the security of a free State” is treason.

Austin tells us at the outset that he has two goals in the book. First, to argue that US Christians need to rethink their views on guns. Second, to argue that we need better gun laws. That is: more restrictive gun laws. [More]
I think I just found the idiot.

What’s not to celebrate? By all means, let’s do. Realistically. Let’s just not forget we’ve got a long way to go to “shall not be infringed” and it’s important to understand that some of the opinions from the majority will be more helpful toward getting there than others. [More]
Along with the admitted good come some exploitable (and unnecessary) concessions that Democrat states are already taking full advantage of, and that will take years to wrangle through.
I take it he didn’t vote for Biden so he “ain’t black”?
Just don’t tell professors Robert Post and Howard Forman.
Or Joy Behar, for that matter.
Unless you want to see them all pop their Rapexes…

I don’t think they’re going to encounter a populace of armed noobs there…
Arming school personnel is a serious decision that is left up entirely to each school. [More]
So why couldn’t you say the same about cities, and do away with preemption?
Besides, this is misdirection: The true issue is that of a free citizen’s unalienable right to arm himself. Since when are local bureaucrats legitimately qualified and authorized to dictate that?
And why did this come in via email, necessitating posting on my placeholder site, instead of being published in “News Releases“?
The slander that “conservative” gun owners are racist and want to deny rights to minorities is an old, tired talking point that’s been proven false many times over the years. [More]
The violence monopolists project their own pathetic, hate-filled paranoia on those who advocate the full exercise of rights by all peaceable people.

We have no better pal than Larry — just ask NRA!
Now to start thinking up ways to keep from allowing “Wear and Carry” anyway.
