Tell Me Again How Ohio Has ‘Constitutional Carry’
Garrett’s attorney, state Rep. Josh Williams (R-Sylvania Twp.), says prosecutors are leaning on an Ohio law that bans drivers and passengers from having loaded firearms within reach inside a vehicle. But he argues another section of the law creates an exemption for concealed carry license holders. Garrett holds a lifetime license in Indiana. [More]
And duty to inform IF ASKED seems ripe for a Fifth Amendment challenge.
Yet the Republicans who allow this and aren’t pushing for change will be quick to brag about how they’re “staunch defenders of the Second Amendment” come election time.

Take the guns first, due process later?
And then trust people officially considered to dangerous to own a gun to walk unrestrained among the rest of us?
Speaking of lunatic, if “gun control” and designating “prohibited persons” work, explain Chicago.
Meanwhile, the Democrats, once they get back in power because Republicans keep doing and saying stupid $#!+ like this, are setting things in motion to declare being anti-trans a mental illness and create a self-admitted record of it. Tell me if they could get away with it they wouldn’t demand that to be a “Hate Crime Prohibitor.”
Gee, what do you know: Collectivism (and that’s what such a ban would be predicated on) is two-edged sword.
Rights belong to each of us as individuals. My position on this hasn’t changed.
As for Kirk, he’s a Vichycon fraud. One who knowingly sends Turning Point USA members into harm’s way without adequate precautions, which makes it fair to wonder if he thinks THEIR sacrifice will be worth it.
Where do we get these “conservative influencers” from?
And what kind of Opposite Day Bizarro World are we living in where CNN et al. are backhandedly arguing for the Second Amendment?

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
‘Very Good News’?
[T]he 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has found that machine guns are not protected under the Second Amendment with really a terribly reasoned ruling. But the outcome is the one we want because, as I’ve explained to you before, unequivocally, 100% we 1,000% do not want a machine gun case to go to the United States Supreme Court. Anyone that disagrees with me is 1,000% wrong. If a machine gun case goes to the Supreme Court, we will 1,000% lose, which will create more bad Second Amendment precedent. And it will also delay, as an opportunity cost the decision that AR-15s and semi-automatic rifles are protected arms under the Second Amendment… [Watch]
The fact that his legal read on this is correct should be all the proof we need that the court benches are dominated by traitors.

Yeah, but one of those “Republicans” is treasonous dotard Frank Easterbrook…

A Grudging Admission
A Delaware state court struck down the state’s ban on firearms ownership for adults between the ages of 18 and 21, citing the obvious conclusion that such a ban is unconstitutional, just as it would be for any other enumerated right. However, the opinion is wrought with other areas of concern that show the court’s hostility towards Second Amendment rights. [More]
