Never Mind

On Monday, the Sherburne County Attorney’s Office filed court papers to dismiss their case against Matthew Walker Anderson, a Minnesota gun owner who was facing multiple felony charges for possessing firearms that did not have serial numbers. The decision comes just days after the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that state law allows Minnesotans to possess certain firearms that lack serial numbers. [More]

After putting this man through hell for years, all these persecuting bastards can do is play Emily Litella?

Shotgun preteen vs. Illegal alien Home Invaders [More]

Reminds me of a post from almost 20 years ago, when a 12-year-old stopped armed robbers invading his grandmother’s store.

In all cases, then or now, self-righteous gun prohibitionists would rather the targeted victims had been killed than armed– preferably with guns, so they could dance in their blood and press for more bans, although they’d settle for pitchforks.

UPDATE

Looks like the main link goes to a fake story.

That’ll teach me to ignore my own advice.

Can We All Get Along?

They’re right about the greatest threat, you know. To this.

Sanctuary! Sanctuary!

I like how that last link contained the words “racism” and fascism,” words appearing nowhere in the text of the “report,” showing us exactly what “real reporter” Vasili Varlamos and KATU 2 ABC are all about.

What, the willfully obtuse may ask, does any of this have to do with that “single issue”?

Shall Not Be Infringed Except…

“No law-abiding citizen should have to wait months before he or she can register their firearms, or obtain a concealed carry permit”… [More]

No citizen should be required to do either.

I really get tired of being a critic. I wish our “leaders” would give me less to criticize.

If anyone wants to give a lecture on increments, you’ve got the whole rest of the internet to do it at.

The Animating Contest

Don’t be content to just bellyache, instead do something. And by “do something”, I don’t mean the half-assed leftist version of “do something”, I mean give some serious thought, and come up with something potentially meaningful you can do, to help our cause. [More]

Stumped for ideas? Pick one or more, or come up with something that suits you.

Or just plain lazy…?

Just Like the Founders Intended with ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’

[T]he Department of Justice [is] fighting the so-called non-resident handgun ban that says that you cannot take a possession of a handgun in a state in which you are not a resident from an FFL. That’s right. This law is being challenged down there in Texas and the Department of Justice has just responded arguing that the law is indeed constitutional under our Second Amendment. Is it? [Watch]

Of course not.

Either the AUSA signing onto that is a still-embedded Democrat purposely undermining Pam Bondi’s memo, or it’s all smoke and mirrors and she was just telling gun owners what they wanted to hear to keep them corralled.

And so much for the new “Pro-gun” ATF mandarin NSSF is gushing over.

In either case, it once more illustrates that until the 2A Task Force includes actual 2A advocates instead of just government employees beholden to their masters, we can continue to expect DOJ bipolarity, with aggressive MAGA Über Alles types asking if we’d rather have Kamala.

There’s a reason the rice bowl gun groups aren’t demanding a seat at the table. They’ve been showering him with flattery and simultaneously walking on eggshells, afraid to p!$$ off a mercurial Trump, lest he condemn them and cast them out.

Beto Testing

Beto O’Rourke says he does not regret saying he will take away AK-47s and AR-15s while running for president [More]

He still hasn’t fleshed out how for us.

He was speaking as if he had presidential powers, so, say it’s through executive action or even a law he signed– presuming he’s replaced enough SCOTUS justices to reverse Bruen.

Now what?

What’s it going to take to get the guns away from the, say, Three Percent who will say “Hell no, you won’t,” despite seeing some picked off to be made examples of to spook the rest of the herd…?

How far is he willing to go, and what will that do to the smooth running of society?

SAF Challenges Non-Resident Carry Permit Process in Massachusetts [More]

Can you imagine explaining this to Samuel Adams?

[Via Jess]

ALSO from SAF:

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners secured a major victory today after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a mandate overturning California’s “one-gun-per-month” restriction, setting a historic precedent.

I don’t see a link posted yet, but when it is you should be able to read the whole release here.

Blasts from the Past

Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Edwin Walker discuss The Tragedy That Broke the Background Check System.This is about more than just erroneous firearm denials—it’s about a federal policy change that’s leading to massive Second Amendment infringements, and a branch of the ATF most people have never heard of. [More]

So… Fix NICS isn’t everything the quislings at NSSF crack it up to be…?

I look forward to an editorial from Larry Keane explaining how it would comport with Bruen’s text, history, and tradition standard.

[Via Jess]

Well, This was Completely Avoidable

If only some internal team existed to catch this stuff before it becomes an issue…

Well, I guess if the “gun groups” don’t care about not being included, I shouldn’t…

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Permanent’ Is

Petitioner contends (Pet. 7-21) that 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment as applied to her by subjecting her to “permanent” disarmament based on a years-old conviction for a nonviolent felony. Pet. 15. That contention lacks merit. The Department of Justice recently revitalized an administrative process under 18 U.S.C. 925(c) through which convicted felons can regain their ability to possess firearms. Given that process, petitioner cannot show (Pet. 15) that Section 922(g)(1) subjects her to “permanent” disarmament. [More]

Yeah, well, it would help if you guys who make noises that 2A is not a “second class right” would let everybody know what the non-arbitrary criteria are, but as yet you’ve ignored my FOIA request well past the statutory deadline. Are you going to make me file a complaint and then drag that on forever just like the Democrats? And then further discourage such rightful fact-finding by denying recovery of attorney fees?

Sorry if I can’t knee-jerk spin this as a positive. Because this really doesn’t tell us “how,” and a right delayed is a right denied.

No Fishing

Court Rules Cops Can’t Stop-and-Frisk You For Carrying A Gun [Watch]

I’ve been asked if this means no more Terry stops and pat-downs, but I don’t think so, because those require a “reasonable suspicion” that a suspect has committed a crime, and already forbids just make something up, although this ruling could conceivably make some “Only Ones” more hesitant to do that.

Perhaps someone who actually knows what he’s talking about on this can weigh in and educate me.

More questions: Why did the “pro-Second Amendment” Justice Department prosecute and will it appeal?

Ghost of a Chance

The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that it is legal to possess unserialized firearms so long as they are not required to be serialized by federal law. This is a welcome and uncharacteristic reverence for the Second Amendment, considering the justices are all Democratic appointees. [More]

Not the reason I’d have given, but it’ll work — for now.

My Kind of Politician

Exactly. And it’s coming from a man who knows communism.

He’d have my vote if I lived in his district.

Leave it to lying Democrats to say fidelity to the Constitution and oath of office are disqualifiers.
