We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

She argues that the federal government’s restrictions through the National Firearms Act are unconstitutional and that suppressors and short‑barreled rifles are both protected arms under the Second Amendment. [More]

Only a moron or a liar would disagree.

Switch Hitter

According to charging documents, Kenny Edwards, 24, is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of an illegal weapon and resisting arrest. Prosecutors allege Edwards, a convicted felon, was carrying a Glock 20 pistol equipped with an auto-sear switch, a device that allows the gun to fire fully automatically. [More]

Questions: If they knew he couldn’t be trusted with a gun, why was he let out, and why should his inability to responsibly exercise his rights be a burden with terrible risks and severe consequences on me?

Talarico: Police in Schools Make Students ‘Less Safe,’ Harms ‘Black and Brown Students’- Unearthed audio reveals the Democrat U.S. Senate nominee arguing against adding more police officers and guns to schools. [More]

When he says “Gun-Free Zone,” he means “Gun-Free Zone”! He demands the most precious lives among us be undefended from ravenous monsters– under force of law.

And if that’s true in schools, it must be true everywhere. In Everytown.

Face it, if you own a gun, you’re racist.

This is what Giffords and the other grabber groups are really endorsing.

So… a spate…?

Just Like the Founders Intended?

So to begin with the law that’s being challenged here was a Hawaii law that applies to individuals who have already been approved … to have concealed carry permits. They’ve already been approved. They’ve gone through the background checks. They’ve gone through the fingerprinting … They’ve gone through the whole process and been approved to conceal carry a handgun in the state of Hawaii. And after they approved to carry a gun in Hawaii, there’s two additional two additional steps that must be taken before they can buy a handgun. The first step is that they have to get a permit to purchase form. And once they get that permit to purchase form in their hands, they only have 30 days to go out and buy the handgun with that permit to purchase form. And if that permit to purchase form goes more than 30 days from the date it’s issued by Hawaii, then that permit to purchase form is void. It is expired and no good, which means you could have to go back and go get another purchase to permit form to acquire a handgun under these various restrictions. The other critical thing that they challenge, the other part of Hawaii law they challenge is once you acquire the handgun with this permit to purchase, now you go out, you buy the gun, you get the gun, you take it in your possession, you then under Hawaii law have five days, that’s right, just five days to take your newly acquired handgun and walk it down to the police department and have them inspect it.

It’s not that the majority en banc traitors on the Ninth Circuit who ruled this Constitutional don’t know they’re being evil. They’re just confident that imposing their will against the freedoms of their countrymen will never blow back on them personally.

Ramaswamy v. Acton: Choice is clear on gun rights, even if Dr. Lockdown masks her views [More]

We know she’ll be a disaster, and I guess how big of one depends on how feckless Republicans do.

He’s not my first choice, and I have real problems with his “loony Heritage American beer-guzzling, burger-gobbling beach bums venerated mediocrity over excellence” ingratitude and arrogance. And I’m not the only one.

It’s not so much a matter of being pure, and of the perfect being the enemy of the good, as it is the legitimate question that no “gun groups” will acknowledge, let alone answer: Who, in the long run, will end up doing the most damage to 2A?

I guess because Amy will be open borders/pathway to citizenship amnesty and Vivek will just be more H-1Bs, that kind of answers it, but that doesn’t mean I have to like the “choices” being offered. And I also have to weigh in how rewarding Vichycons out of lesser-of-two-evils desperation has gotten us to where we are now.

I guess when I’m in the booth I’ll make my choice, and then see, based on results, whether it made any difference.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Will any of Chardonamy’s behavioral issues be enough to dissuade Democrat voters?

We’re the Only Ones Wrist-Slapped Enough

He was charged with participating in a scheme to issue gun permits in exchange for San Jose Sharks hockey game tickets, access to a luxury suite at the SAP Center, and hundreds of Apple iPads. The bribes were given to [Sheriff Laurie] Smith and her guests, prosecutors said. Under conditions of his plea, Sung surrendered his California peace officer certification and agreed to complete 400 hours of community service.[More]

The greedy f_s were running a conspiracy that denied citizens who didn’t pony up for “may/and then again may not issue” extortion their rights and placing lives in jeopardy under color of authority — and no one has gone to jail, including briber/anti-gun Apple CEO Tim Smith, DA Jeff Rosen.

Don’t speak to us about your fearless prosecutions of fellow big club members. And don'[t speak to us about how “Rick Sung dedicated twenty years of his life to serving the people of Santa Clara County,” defense flack– he didn’t just wake up one morning and decide he could get away with in-your-face corruption. His “twenty years of [self] service” experience told him he could get away with it. That and it set the tone for everyone under him and Laurie.

And note just dropping it will prevent further probes into whether perennially virtue-signaling-on-race California Democrats discriminated on who gets approved for permits.

An Uncommon Argument

Trap

Because the “in common use” test looks to arms that are in common use today, that test automatically and necessarily protects existing technology, and addresses any contemporary societal concerns stemming from such modern technology. [More]

Note it doesn’t say a word about arms withheld from common use because they’re reserved for the standing army, or future technological developments, which by definition are of exclusive and limited use.

I prefer Mr. Cuccinelli’s assessment.

Adventures in Aptronyms

And then Judge Salamey said the dumbest thing you could imagine. From the article:

The judge admonished Long for carrying the gun and told him he has to think before he acts. ‘Fortunately, you weren’t injured, but nonetheless, you had a gun there in the first place, which was poor judgment,’ he said. ‘And what do you need a gun for protection in a mall, in the first place?’ [More]

An Age-Old Question

If you’re not old enough to buy a beer, you shouldn’t be able to buy a handgun. But today, Trump’s Department of Justice released a dangerous opinion claiming that the life-saving federal law that stops people under 21 from buying handguns is unconstitutional and shouldn’t be enforced. [More]
