Speaking of Insatiable Lust…

If you think they are willing to stop at collecting machine guns, they will eventually go for your semi-automatic rifles. If you think they will stop at semi-automatic rifles, they’ll go for your bolt action and lever action rifles when you’re not looking. [More]

That’s why they call them “totalitarians.”

To paraphrase Martin Niemöller, “Then they came for the Fudds— and there was no one left to speak for them.

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

Two such changes would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance to cover losses and damages from accidental use of firearms, and a new annual $25 harm reduction fee would be instituted for gun owners on each gun they own. The future funds would go to a nonprofit focused on gun violence education and prevention…The city would also ban anyone 18 years or younger from entering a gun dealership and would ban the sale of firearms from home-based businesses. [More]

Tell me THAT won’t reduce the “30% increase in homicides this year.”

And now it’s up to gun owners to cough up more money to let this drag on for years in the courts.

None Dare Call It Treason

An official at the Department of Homeland Security has been promoting illegal immigration into the U.S., using platforms like YouTube and TikTok to provide advice to border crossers, according to a new report by a conservative organization. [More]

You’ll see trolls repeating the crafted lie that Trump and MAGA Republicans killed the “Bipartisan Border Crackdown Bill.”

Yes, usual suspect Vichycons crossed over, but it was hardly a “crackdown.” The phony bill allowed the Homeland Security secretary to be the one to decide if he would act if there were an average of 4,000 daily encounters at the southern border during seven consecutive days. It didn’t REQUIRE it until there are an average of 5,000 encounters a day during seven consecutive days, or 8,500 encounters on any single day. It didn’t stop them and send them back. And the “unencountered” still kept coming. And they’re being “resettled.” Where they’ll have anchor babies and staged for “pathway to citizenship” entry.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Calling All Fudds

State attorneys: hunting rifles are not “constitutionally” protected in Connecticut… Whether or not they are constitutionally protected, they are certainly democratically protected,” Perry said. “As a rule, something that is popular doesn’t need constitutional protection, because it’s popular. [More]

And once they’re no longer popular?

Or in “common use” …?

The question nobody asks collectivist monkeys like Joshua Perry is if the Constitution doesn’t protect me, what makes you think it protects you?

Your turn in the barrel, Fudds.

Just because Polyphemus promised to eat you last didn’t mean he wasn’t going to.

Do the Right Thing

Petition in Favor of Free Speech and the Right to Bear Arms [More]

My own thinking is you shouldn’t need the inducement of a chance to win a million bucks. I’m in Ohio and I’m not eligible.

Hopefully Mr. Musk has had a chance to reconsider some of this earlier endorsements of infringements. Maybe he will be an angel after all.

Figures Josh Shapiro would be a little snitch and b!+ch.

And as always, I never ask anyone to do anything I’m not willing to do myself:

One Hell of a Way to Run a Republic

…we’re likely going to lose it because we’re in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit but a strong showing for the Second Amendment in this case and I think it’s going to give rise to good stuff… before the United States Supreme Court in the Snope-Bianchi case hopefully coming out this spring… [Watch]

So, in order to get over the wall we need to climb over the bodies of our fallen…

So Much for Holding These Truths to Be Self-Evident…

The Supreme Court on Tuesday sent a challenge to a Pennsylvania law barring people 18- to 20-years-old from carrying guns back to the lower courts for another look in light of last term’s decision in United States v. Rahimi, in which the justices attempted to provide guidance for courts reviewing Second Amendment challenges to restrictions on gun rights. [More]

I know the wheels of justice grind slowly and we have procedures for a reason, but come on...

The Truth Behind the Garland v. VanDerStok “Ghost Gun” Case

This is not the first time Justice Barrett has departed from conservative views on the Second Amendment, values she represented herself as a staunch supporter of when she was nominated to the Supreme Court by then President Donald Trump. [More]

Except she didn’t, the gun groups did.

As with all SCOTUS confirmation hearings, they don’t ask the tough questions needed to elicit unequivocal answers.

As noted when cautioning against rubber stamping Gorsuch:

Typically in judicial confirmation hearings, nominees have been able to rely on an “out” giving them a pass on answering specific questions… Think of one job you’ve ever applied for where you’d have gotten it if you decided to play coy with the hiring managers. While it may be “inappropriate” for a judge to weigh in on a specific case before confirmation — for legitimate reasons, including not having studied and evaluated all the particulars, evidence and precedents against the “supreme Law of the Land,” — there’s no reason why general principles of understanding should be off-limits. Such hearings are supposed to be, among other things, high-level employment interviews, not pre-coronation ceremonies.

Gun owners may be paying the price for that… again.

Commonsense Speech Safety Laws

Biden’s executive order targets modern manufacturing processes in ways that implicate the First Amendment. [More]

So if Democrats want to ban “misinformation” and now real information, what kind of information will still be “legal”?

The good thing is, the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law…”

They’re not making it. The executive is!

His Masters’ Voice

Jon Stewart blasts Elon Musk for claiming the Second Amendment protects our right to free speech. “Guns don’t protect our free speech. Our free speech is protected by the consent of the governed laid out through the Constitution.” [More]

And when tyrants ignore that?

Mr. Kennedy knew. And he knew how:

Stewart’s call for obedience to his masters is about what we’d expect from the hack propagandist.

He’s always been an apologist for criminals/despots (and if Internet Archive goes back up, check out the Examiner link there).

‘Looters Meeting Shooters’ Could Spread Hurricane Milton’s Destruction

Florida’s “stand your ground” provisions won’t give them a pass from prosecution if there’s a question of legality, or if a Democrat DA decides there’s ginned up anger they can exploit. [More]

But when it’s all said and done, “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by six” applies.

No. She Can’t. Not in This Context. She’s Not a Gunsmith.

Based on results, ATF can’t, either.

She’s just wondering if “ghost guns” can also fire 800 rounds a second.

It’s OK to say “she,” isn’t it?

Breaking Some Eggs

Justice Alito Wrecks ATF’s ‘Ghost Gun’ Argument: Are Eggs and Peppers an Omelet?[More]

So are John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett bent on scrambling things?

Mark W. Smith has some interesting thoughts, including “if the ATF theory is allowed here, then drilling a single hole in AR-15s to convert it into a machine gun means that an AR-15 is “readily convertable” into a machine gun and thus a machine gun. SCOTUS will need to issue a ruling to avoid this result.”

A Second Wind

Hurricane guns: DeSantis orders no suspensions, no limits on gun sales during storm [More]

It’s ridiculous that this is even an issue, but government…

What kind of absolute statist moron would disarm the people at the time they needed to protect themselves the most?

Ol’ Don Hagan sure made a permanent name for himself, didn’t he?

And if you think Helene exposed FEMA, Milton is just getting warmed up.
