Gov. Lee signs bill preventing local government from enacting red flag laws [More]
Not that he’s our pal.
Give him a statewide bill and watch him jump for it.

Responding in Kind
Thursday, 5/23/24 Connecticut Citizens Defense League filed a Response Brief in the Grant v. Lamont case. This brief is asking the court to reconsider our preliminary injunction that was denied by Judge Arterton prior to her retirement. If successful, injunctive relief could halt the CT Assault Weapons Ban while the case is in court. The Connecticut Assault Weapons Ban is an unjust restriction of our 2A rights under the scrutiny of the Bruen decision, we will keep on fighting until we reclaim what is ours. [More]
In the meantime, don’t stop doing what it takes…
As The Wheels Grind Slowly Forward
Hunter Biden loses last-minute appeal to dismiss gun charges [More]
Any doubts if this were you or me we’d already have our place in genpop?
Meanwhile, DOJ tells me they’ve found some documents, although why they just can’t cite where they presume to get their authority from is beyond me, so I smell more go-through-the-motions stalling.
And I just had an idea. I want to run it by my advisors first.

2nd Amendment Grades for Alabama’s 2024 Political Candidates [More]
I like these because instead of just a grade they give us reasons why. As always, use this as a starting point for your own due diligence.

A Ploy Named Sue
Uvalde families sue makers of AR-15, ‘Call of Duty,’ Meta over mass shooting [More]
I see they don’t like the First Amendment any more than they do the Second.
Why someone is attacking me becomes irrelevant when the immediate object is to stop him. Their grief does not legitimize their demand to send lethal force equipped enforcers after me to take my property and abridge my rights.
It’s a shame to see them exploited as useful idiot pawns by the cultural Marxists.

Common Cause
Let me also respond to your “in common use” argument. There is no “in common use” tradition. [More]
The Second Amendment does not say “the right of the people to keep and bear arms in common use at the time shall not be infringed.” If it had, the Anti-Federalists would have told the Framers to go to hell.
Dangerous and Unusual? It’s a lie and does not exist. [More]
Interesting reading that also links to “The Historical Tradition and Analogue Lie in Bruen“…
As for this charge, I’d need to see links, specifics and context. What citizen disarmament edicts has Mark W. Smith endorsed? My biggest disgreement with him — and other prominent 2A attorneys — so far has been when they say stuff like ATF doesn’t have the authority but Congress does. Huge deferring to stare decisis vs. “shall not be infringed” hole, that one, but even there that doesn’t mean he’d be for a ban, and for the most part I think he’s been among the best, especially with his insights into SCOTUS.
Military Cemetery Gun Bans an Affront to Patriots Who Died Fighting for Freedom
There is no valid reason the government can give that should supersede the rights of deceased veterans’ survivors, certainly nothing that would comply with the Bruen standard of history, text, and tradition at the time the Constitution was ratified. [More]
Kinda puts the lie to those Lee Greenwood lyrics…
Democrats Continue to Place Criminals Above Citizens, Exploiting That to Ban Guns
They rely on violent crime so that they have blood to dance in, to whip up mob furor among constituents ignorant and stupid enough to vote for them. [More]
Why punish their constituents when they can punish you?
And the Winners Will Be…
However, it appears that there are sufficient numbers to call most races. The outcome is decidedly “mixed.” [More]
Yep, buckle up.
A Right Delayed
California already has a law currently being challenged as unconstitutional based on a 10 day waiting period. A new law that just too effect Jan 1 2024 authorizes California to extend that 10 days up to another 30 for transfers. [Watch]
The bastards don’t even pretend to give “shall not be infringed” any notice.
And if someone gets killed while waiting…?

None Dare Call It Treason
It would specifically ban civilian use of armor that meets or exceeds Level 3 ballistic resistance, which protects against rifle ammunition. The proposed legislation only seeks to enforce civilian usage while allowing military and police personnel to use the armor. [More]

“Something for everyone,” eh?
Looks like one of those artsy, trendy tourist traps ruled over by well-heeled, rope-selling useful idiots who have no idea what’s in store for the bourgeoisie…
“Our kind” need not apply.

SAF PREPARING FOR SCOTUS FALL HEARING IN VANDERSTOK CASE [More]
I’m not sure the “Authority to regulate firearms is solely in the hands of Congress” argument won’t ultimately come back to bite us. Perhaps if someone could point out which clause in the Constitution delegates the authority to override “shall not be infringed,” my worries would be quelled…

How long Alliant’s absence from the reloading marketplace may last is unknown. [More]
This is a job for… Joe Biden…?
To make funds available for the preservation of commercial manufacturing capability for defense grade nitrocellulose.
With the way he’s going these days, he’ll probably instruct ATF to write a rule declaring cotton an NFA item…
