Beria Trap*

Someone does not need a license to carry, according to the law, “in his place of abode or fixed place of business.” Yakaitis owned the home Powanda attempted to burglarize. The catch: He didn’t live there—it reportedly had no tenants at the time of the crime—opening a window for law enforcement to charge him essentially on a technicality. [More]

It’s awful hard to make the swine harassing him live in infamy if we’re not told his name.

On Guns and Immigration, Alabama Republican Shows Himself to Be ‘Enemy in the Gates’

Republican Rep. Reed Ingram “feels” the state’s 2022 permitless carry law, where “anyone over 19 years old can carry a concealed handgun without a permit, background check or training,” is a “bad bill.” Now “he intends to file a bill that would instead require someone to be 21 to conceal carry. They would also have to pass a hunter safety course or get a permit from the sheriff’s office.” [More]

With Republicans like this jackass, who needs Democrats?

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Plaintiffs bring this action seeking a stay of agency action, temporary restraining order, and/or a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo, followed by a declaratory judgment and permanent injunctive relief restraining Defendants from enforcing a Final Rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the U.S. Department of Justice on April 19, 2024, entitled “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms” (“Final Rule”), 89 Fed. Reg. 28968. [More]

This is good work:

COUNT 5 Second Amendment: Right to Keep and Bear Arms 193. All foregoing allegations are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth herein. 194. The Second Amendment provides that “[a] well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 195. The text of the Second Amendment provides no qualifications or limitations constraining who may exercise the right or for what purpose the right may be exercised. Accordingly, the Second Amendment presumptively protects all Americans and all lawful purposes. 196. ATF failed “to justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). Nor can ATF justify its regulation because there is no early American tradition of requiring licensure of gun sellers

Plenty of pundits will be giving you their read on this. Why not read it for yourself?

Conference Call

Two Second Amendment Foundation cases challenging bans on so-called “assault weapons” and magazine capacity—one in Illinois and the other in Maryland—are among five cases distributed Tuesday by the U.S. Supreme Court for conference May 16. [More]

2A defenders are doing a full court press on behalf of all of us.

Flip or Flop

Flipping a gun for a price higher than one paid now may turn anyone into a dealer, making any such sale unlawful if it does not involve all the licensing and paperwork that govern gun dealers. [More]

Brought to you by every Republican who joined with Democrats on Biden’s “bipartisan” tyranny.

The Spirit of Aloha?

This bill would legalize the open carry of all non-firearm weapons… [More]

Then there’s:

…despite containing some anti-gun measures…

What are they? And I guess a “parade to celebrate the bill’s passage” has to be viewed as any improvement being better than what they had before, but somehow, marching with a spear emphasizes a different message for me.

Good Thing This Has Nothing to Do with That ‘Single Issue’!

“And they’re all gonna vote Democrat,” the student admitted. “The illegals, they’re coming here. They’re gonna vote Democrat and we’re going to win.” [More]

Be nice if our “gun rights leaders” finally admitted it…

8-11 pm Eastern…

“Original roundtable” at 9, eh…?

What was I talking about on this date 15 years ago…?

Wait… Dancing with the Stars isn’t on tonight, is it…?

Justice Department FOIA Response on Permanent Entry to NICS Ignores Key Requests

What all those pages in the FOIA response did not do is provide what was being asked for. [More]

I wonder why they won’t share where they get the authority to strong-arm permanent gun disabilities without due process and that are not statutorily authorized from…

The Man Who Would Be King

How instructive to see “New York’s very own” PIX 11 pay so much attention to noted subject matter expert East Harlem resident Arlene on this.

“I think they shouldn’t be learning that on no video,” indeed.

So Fat Alvin presumes the power to coerce rules affecting the entire world… Hey, if you believe you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, why should the First give you any problems?

Not that Google respects either.

The Time is Ripe

SAF files brief with Supreme Court in challenge to Illinois semi-auto ban… “Given the ongoing resistance to the core reasoning of Heller and Bruen, (we) respectfully submit that the existence of so many other similar cases cuts in favor of granting certiorari now,” the brief states. [More]

If not now, when?

What’s that saying about a right delayed…?
