A Zero Sum Game
DOJ and ATF Repeal Zero Tolerance Policy, Major Second Amendment Win for the Trump Administration [More]
I want to see what still triggers revocations — and consistency of decisons– before I get too excited, which I won’t do anyway because there will still be an ATF with the power to destroy Americans’ lives over exercising their right in a way the government, with no legitimate delegated authority, doesn’t want to allow.
In the Kapu Tradition
That’s right. In one vote, this bill went from targeting .50 caliber rifles to banning all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, adding new definitions like “assault shotgun” and “fixed magazine,” restricting magazine capacity, and even creating new criminal penalties. [More]
And this crap will continue to happen because SCOTUS allows it and keeps sending mixed signals.
It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringe’ Is
The US Supreme Court refused to question New York’s 2022 gun restrictions, including the state’s limits on concealed-carry licenses and its ban on weapons in buses, parks and crowded venues. The justices without comment turned away an appeal by six New York residents who said the restrictions infringe the Constitution’s Second Amendment and fly in the face of recent Supreme Court rulings bolstering gun rights. [More]
As noted many times before over the years, all the Supreme Court has to do to allow blatant infringements of our fundamental rights to prevail is… nothing.
People in power don’t give it up unless there’s a credible “or else” behind demands.

ATF and DOJ Continue Abuses While Being Bipolar on Guns
What good is ‘see something/say something’ if no one is listening? [More]
This came out after I left for my trip.
As with all my work, if you find value in it and think others may as well, share the link.
DOJ Investigation into California Gun Law Patterns and Practices Should be Expanded
A new request for DOJ investigation has been filed detailing Second Amendment and civil rights violations inherent in Illinois’ Firearms Owner Identification card (FOID) requirement. [More]
They showed deliberate indifference to the first civil rights complaint. Perhaps an adjusted attitude will allow them to consider this one.
Like a Poll Tax for Guns
SAF and its partners contend that the state’s 6.5% excise tax on the retail sale of any firearm, firearm precursor part, or ammunition is unconstitutional in that it impermissibly singles out the exercise of a constitutional right for special taxation. [More]
Absolutely right.
Now go after what NSSF “celebrates.”
An Open Secret
The Secret Plan to Strike Down US Gun Laws [More]
It’s a fascinating read with a lot of heretofore unexposed infomation. Just keep in mind Mother Jones’ trademark hatred of 2A, and the use if inuendo, ad hominem, and hypocrisy when attacking the “pro-gun” side when it uses the same tactics as the AstroTurfers.
Besides, it’s not like the Constitutional Defense Fund isn’t complying with the law…

Keeping Score
However, despite this, there seems to be a growing core of people in my space and in the general Second Amendment community online that just continue to carry the water for this administration when they have not earned that kind of accolade… [Watch]
The Intentionally Ignored Prefatory Clause
“In our brief,” Kraut noted, “we remind the court that repeating arms predate the Second Amendment by roughly three centuries, and that semiautomatic firearms were invented in 1885. Likewise, detachable box magazines came along back in 1862. Despite technological advances over the past 200 years, neither the sale nor possession of repeating arms of any capacity were ever banned in the United States.” [More]
So they’re putting all their eggs in the “common use” basket and ignoring the Militia completely…?

#HandsOff March Promises to Show Middle America What Democrats are Made Of
Meanwhile, Democrat influencers with wide media reach and plenty of experience ginning up the mob, are turning up the heat. [More]
I’m sure it’ll be “mostly peaceful,” won’t it?
So… Unconstitutional Carry…?

A Good First Step
Drawing a clear line in the sand on gun rights, the Texas Senate has passed a bill that would make it illegal for state or local officials to enforce federal red flag laws, going so far as to criminalize cooperation with such orders. [More]
Now pass one authorizing the arrest of federal enforcers.

Career Management
“After a few minutes of conversation, we found out Rob is a huge 2A advocate and was interested in purchasing a few firearms.” [More]
I wasn’t aware of that, but I see this isn’t the first time.
Good. We can use all the high profile help we can get.
It’s nice to see he’s still working in an industry where “coming out” the wrong way can be the kiss of death.

Common ‘Law’
N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]
