‘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.

The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship?

Following its amicus brief in support of us, the federal government has asked the Seventh Circuit for approval to participate in oral arguments in our lawsuit challenging Illinois’ “assault weapon” and magazine bans [More]

How could they refuse? After all, “Currently, six of the court’s judges were appointed by Republicans and five by Democrats.”

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

We’re the Only Ones Distinguished Enough

Trump suggests ‘distinguished’ ex-military teachers could carry weapons at schools [More]

So… a new category of “Only Ones“…?

That’s not a FASTER requirement, and the program’s been working great.

It’s not a 2A requirement, either.

I gotta get this serial administration cheerleader some pom poms.

Related UPDATE

Fortunately, there’s a Constitutional alternative:

H.R. 5066: Safe Students Act – To repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and amendments to that Act.

If at first you don’t succeed…

Unfortunately:

Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

That and the guy floating unequal protection calls Massie “a third-rate Grandstander” (as opposed, I suppose, to a first-rate one?) and wants him out.

Because We Can’t Call It a ‘Retarded Session’

Walz to call special session on gun control, propose assault weapons ban [More]

What lies must he have told NRA to get its endorsement? Apparently he didn’t have to, since his “unwavering pro-gun support” was based on “sportsmen” and “rich hunting heritage.”

Kinzinger Shows More Ignorance on Second Amendment in Lame ‘Gotcha’ Attempt

That Kinzinger is evidently unaware of this (or aware but deliberately lying by omission about it) is no surprise. [More]

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]

Read the opinion.

Dem MN State Rep.: Not Talking About Assault Weapons Is ‘an Attempt to Politicize’ Grief and Distract [More]

Enough talk.

Flesh out how you’re going to take them from those of us who reject your authority to rob us of our right to keep and bear arms and will resist if you try.

Trading Up

The Commission should support this effort by rooting out and helping to remedy any activities by the Biden-era FTC that may have improperly aligned the agency with anti-Second Amendment non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”) or otherwise infringed upon Second Amendment rights. [More]

I’m all over Larry Keane and NSSF when they suck up to tyranny, so I gotta give them credit when they do good.

The FTC commissioners are all Republicans, so there’s no excuse for them not taking a leadership position in protecting firearms commerce.

So why haven’t they already declared new policy? Why do they have to be publicly prodded?

UPDATE

By all means, educate me on their leadership:

It shouldn’t be this hard to find.

Under the Illusion

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is kicking off the new school year with safety as its top priority and a new layer of security. The school district announced that it will begin implementing its weapon detection screening program at school board regular business meetings. [More]

Because nothing says “safe spaces” like a “gun-free zone”!

And if an armed maniac decides to go through the detectors guns blazing…?

No comment from the Lairds…?

The Exception to the Rule

Second Amendment – I am the most Pro-Gun candidate in history. ​ – When the left comes for your guns, they’re really coming for your children’s future. ​ – The 2nd Amendment is there, to always protect the First. [More]

As I’ve acknowledged before to those who deny my immigration stance without taking my challenge:

Of course, there are good immigrants and they don’t all lean Democrat. Hell, there are some great immigrants, people I strive to be worthy of knowing. There just aren’t enough of them overall to offset the tide of Third World huddled masses yearning to breathe free stuff. That’s because the vote-exploiting Democrats and labor-exploiting Republicans have not made the ability to assimilate to a Bill of Rights culture a priority. They haven’t even made it a consideration. And if you tried to make Constitutionally-compatible ideology a precondition to admittance, an activist federal judge would loudly strike it down — even though any government action that does not “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” would rightfully and clearly be condemned by the Founders as illegitimate.

Valentian Gomez appears to be one of those to be embraced.
