All Hat and No Prattle

A Michigan school did not violate the free-speech rights of a third-grade student who was told to remove a hat that had an image of an AR-15-style rifle and the message “come and take it” in capital letters, a federal court said Friday. [More]

I’m probably going to take the unpopular view here and say the parents knew what the dress code was and let their kid be the one to take the heat for their views by challenging school policy over an issue they’re hardly developed enough to understand beyond a superficial level.

I would not have allowed either of my sons to wear that hat to school for that reason, and also because it was my job as their father to minimize risks where I could, including now the child will have to deal with the fallout from other students and teachers, and it will follow him through the system until he graduates.

There’s a reason I have never named my sons beyond the created-for-effect “feral sons Uday and Qusay,” and never posted current photos of them. Choices I have made carry repercussions and even dangers, and those are mine to bear, not my family’s. That’s also why I deliberately kept a low profile on local politics.

Change my mind.

We’re the Only Ones Still D!cking Around with What Won’t Work Enough

The DOJ filed the reports to convince Judge Aileen Cannon to allow the prosecution to present evidence of Routh’s prior convictions to a jury—ostensibly to demonstrate that Routh knew he was a felon who wasn’t allowed to possess a gun when he tried killing Trump last September. [More]

Like that ever stops anybody.

Further bolstering the “prohibited persons” concept hardly advances “shall not be infringed.” Those who have been so designated need to be either enfranchised or contained.

Bondi Steps Up

Stephen Stamboulieh brings us some good news about Pam Bondi and DOJ doing something necessary and good by filing a brief in support of the Second Amendment, noting Hawaii trying to ban guns on private property without specific owner permnission effectively equates to a gun ban practically everywhere. This is a hopeful sign and we need to see more like this.

The challenge is another example of great legal navigation and piloting by Alan Beck.

As an aside, this is how “guntubing” ought to be, a subject matter authority articuately sharing knowledge and guidance, as opposed to mansplaining the work of others for clicks.

And pay attention to this, @ 7:15 in:

The Ninth Circuit needs to be broken up as a court. It’s too big, it’s way too powerful, and it does some really stupid things that we’re going to talk about in my 7 o’clock live tonight where I just lost $400,000 in that case.

That’s something we’ve talked about before.

From the People Running the ‘Second Amendment Task Force’

Government Opposes Compassionate Release of Gun Tuber Matthew Hoover For Terminal Medical Condition [More]

Read this. Let your blood boil. Then ask yourself why Pam Bondi, the ATF’s new supposedly “pro-gun” Chief Counsel, and that DOJ Civil Rights honcho we’ve been hearing such hopeful things about are going to allow this tyranny to continue.

Because they’ve been pulling this crap of modifying seized property into “illegality” for a long time. And again. And again.

And it’s not like they have legitmate delegated authority even if the items worked without forced engineering.

Anti-Gun Judge’s Ruling Highlights Democrat Protection of ‘Undocumented Voters’

Federal court ruling by radical judge strikes down executive action on election integrity as polls show 83% of Americans favor citizenship verification requirements. [More]

So, Democrats: Would you then agree that requiring ID as a prior restraint disenfranchises gun owners?

Fine Words

Let’s hope we see fine actions.

I’d feel better if the “Task Force” wasn’t all being fed by the same hand.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Find Out What It Means to Me

I want you out there in the Second Amendment movement to hear what I’m saying, observe what the Trump administration is doing in terms of enforcing Title 9 against universities and governmental agencies that are thumbing their noses at civil rights, because we can derive lessons from what the Trump administration is doing, lessons from the remedies being sought, lessons from the remedies being imposed upon, in this case, the University of Pennsylvania, and we can draw analogies and come up with new ways for we in the Second Amendment community to basically try to get the Trump administration to do to, for example, those law enforcement agencies that refuse to respect our Second Amendment rights. So, for the purpose of this discussion, remove the words ‘University of Pennsylvania’ in your mind and insert, for example, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or some other local law enforcement agency, maybe the New York Police Department that issues licenses, insert them in there and then let’s talk about the remedies. [Watch]

Validating precedent for the licensing of a right that “shall not be infringed” is a remedy? This will make those agencies “respect our Second Amendment rights”?

Yeah, trust me, I understand “incrementalism.”

I also carried for 30 years in L.A. without any damn “permit,” so, as always, I never expect personal considered choices from anyone I’m not willing to expect of myself.

FOIA Request Seeks to Determine DOJ Decision-Making for Firearms Disability Relief Actions

It’s with an eye toward determining how these 10 choices were selected for DOJ’s initial offering that prompted this FOIA request. [More]

Let’s see if the new, improved “Second Amendment Task Force” DOJ will be any better at responding to these things than it was under the Biden regime.
