Commie Police Statist Spits on Independence on Independence Day

Philadelphia shooting: Democrat mayor rips Second Amendment, says only the police should have guns – Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said the US should be more like Canada [More]

Because the “Only Ones” have proven over the years just how right he is, right?

I mean, Jim Kenney said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Just what the hell was it this subversive swore an oath to when he assumed office?

As for being like Canada, armed citizens refusing to bend to tyrants were the “only ones” who kept that from happening or we would have been.

A Black and White Issue

News audiences are clearly meant to associate white pro-gun protesters with a dangerous and probably organized national race-hatred movement, while black pro-gun protesters either don’t exist or are a fringe movement not worth covering. [More]

Well, there are certain requirements if you want to be a “real reporter,” and if you can’t parrot a narrative and keep quiet about what’s not, you have no place in the business.

Affairs of State

One Solution Against Tyranny Is Creating State Guards to Defend the Constitution and Fight Back Against the Deep State [More]

Yeah, about that:

Speaking of free states, while the power to raise armies is the purview of the Congress, state defense forces were established by some (17 plus Puerto Rico), but not all states, to be deployed within a state. The State Guard Association of the United States exists “to advocate for the advancement and support of regulated state military forces established by state governments,” [but] don’t look for teeth to match the mission statement. The last two defense force units, the Ohio Military Reserve and the Tennessee State Guard, were the last units trained for deployment with issued weapons, but no more. The Tennessee Guard’s role is now to provide unarmed support to the National Guard during deployment, with organized firearms-related activities are limited to marksmanship competitions. What was once the Ohio Military Reserve, formally a military police unit, was reorganized to provide emergency management support and of late has been assisting food banks during the COVID-19 scare by packing, transporting and distributing food and serving meals. State guard units are examples of the organized militia.

State-level swamp creatures sucking at the Washington teat have no interest in principles of federalism. And it’s not like most of the citizenry understands or cares.

A Balancing Act

Supreme Court hands Biden victory, allows end to ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy [More]

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …

Thanks, Roberts and Kavanaugh! You just set things up to ultimately undo all the good done in Bruen and most gun owners will never make the connection because the “gun rights groups” refuse to acknowledge it.

I Confess This One Troubles Me

Ninth Circuit Panel Sends California “Assault Weapons” Ban Challenge Back to District Court, so the District Court can reconsider it in light of the Supreme Court’s new Bruen precedent. [More]

I don’t see where “self-defense” alone will cut it without a strong core purpose argument.

I do see this:

The firearms that the law in question prohibits are, in virtually every state of the Union, exactly the sorts of lawful weapons in common use that law abiding people possess at home for lawful purposes; and exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty should such cause be necessary.

Here’s the case history thus far.

If this goes to SCOTUS, and it probably will, we’ll see if any briefs expand on that, and then if the high court will hear it.

The Short Answer

Repeal the Second Amendment: ‘No one has the absolute right to own any weapon they want’ [More]

No. Your move.

The shorter answer is two words and starts with “F.”

Some morons aren’t worth trying to educate on Cruikshank and Heller’s recognition of a preexisting right because you know they’ll just move on to the next idiot objection.

Speaking of Serious Misfires

The Supreme Court’s gun ruling is a serious misfire [More]

This from a Vichycon stooge who advocates:

Gun control advocates who want to square their policy preferences with the Constitution should squarely face the need to deconstitutionalize the subject by repealing the embarrassing amendment.

and:

Republicans Better Off Losing by Landslide

Funny he should mention “The Second Amendment is the only one in the Bill of Rights with a preamble” without acknowledging the Bill of Rights itself has a Preamble that makes clear what Founding intent was:

“THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

It has “restrictive clauses” against the government.

Some Good News and Some Bad News

California Attorney General says “effective immediately, issuing authorities should no longer require proof of good cause for the issuance of a public-carry license.” [More]

These weasels always have big “buts”:

Don’t “Back the blue” or ATF or…? So much for “respect for the law.” How is being against fetus butchering or drag queen story hour for preschoolers “respect[ful] for the rights of others? If you’re against “sanctuary” for illegals (hell, if you even call them “illegals”) or “critical race theory” school curricula, and BLM Marxists, how is that an “absence of racism”? Plus, we all know anyone smeared as a “white nationalist extremist Nazi” is the greatest threat to “our democracy.” Just ask the U.S. Department of Justice!

Page 3 shows all the arbitrary and politically -exploitable “good moral character” outs they’re sending signals to impose, so look for delays and denials that will take more drawn-out court cases to wrangle out.

I wouldn’t be calling the “Supreme Court victory” a slam dunk just yet. If there’s one thing leftists are good at, it’s weaponizing the law against their enemies while ignoring it themselves.

A Few Questions Not Asked

The executive order addresses the training of law enforcement… [More]

As long as we’re waxing on about valuing the Constitution, providing for the security of a free State, and the Second Amendment and all, how about the militia? Who will have access to school “annual risk and vulnerability assessments”? What due process protections will keep BTAM from morphing into the Department of PreCrime? And I trust there will be appropriate penalties to keep Rave from being used by triggered leftist indoctrinators to report “microaggressions”?

And forgive me if every time I see government promising to deliver something “at no cost” I check to make sure my wallet’s still there. The school or district may not be charged, but the people paying for them certainly will be.

That none of these were raised in this fawning “report” says much.

‘Staunch Supporters of the Second Amendment’

The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to advance a new bipartisan gun control bill in a procedural move that saw 14 Republicans support firearm restrictions. [More]

What did anyone expect? Courage and principle from career poltroons?

I can’t wait to see the superlatives NRA will use when describing them in its next endorsement.

And Now a Word from the Rope-Selling ‘Capitalists’

Edelman CEO on gun safety: 2nd Amendment ‘is just kind of an excuse for delaying’ [More]

Plan B

The mayor said he’s reaching out across the country and plans to put together a national working group to look at where cities can create no-carry zones: government designated safe-zones, or sensitive spaces, where concealed carry still would be restricted, even after licensing approval. “Because we don’t believe the Supreme Court is going to take up that aspect of it,” Adams said. “We believe there’s room for us to say, ‘OK, here’s where you can’t carry: subway systems, schools,’ we could restrict: ‘Ok, you no longer need a license. Well, here’s the restrictions of where you can’t carry.’ “That is what we’re putting together right now as a Plan B,” the mayor said. “Plan A is for them not to pass it.” [More]

He carries a gun, so he must be one of us! Right, Tucker?

Who Will Judge the Judge?

TYRANNY: Michigan GOP Candidate for Governor, Ryan Kelley, Has Guns Taken by Judge for Standing Outside the Capitol on Jan 6 [More]

And the compelling state interest to show he is a violent danger risk to himself and others is…?

If you’re willing to eviscerate the Second Amendment, there’s nothing to stop you from eviscerating the First. And this one, clerking for Merrick Garland after graduation,  has never not had her nose in the plunder trough, so coercion for political aims is all she knows.

If they do somehow manage not to blow the “red wave,” which Republican will be willing to strap ’em on, endure the false charges of “racism” and lead the effort to impeach Judge Robin Meriweather?

Gowdy’s Wrong Questions about the 2nd Amendment Preclude Getting Right Answers

Gowdy should know all that, but again, we’re dealing with someone who presents the illusion of being “conservative.” [More]

“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about the answers.”

Lügen Press

Repealing the Second Amendment is the “only effective way to deal” with gun violence, according to CNN senior political contributor Bill Press, who claims it is clear from the Amendment’s text “that it has nothing to do with individual gun ownership; nothing to do with self-defense; and nothing to do with assault weapons.” [More]

Actually, repealing it would not eradicate the right, since ‘[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.”

I was going to do an AmmoLand piece on this since there are plenty more fallacies. I still may, but other topics are a higher priority for me than this toothless old subversive ignoranus.

Neocon-Approved ‘Gun Control’

Straw-buyer cases are almost never prosecuted unless they are part of a big organized-crime investigation. “Lie and try” cases — in which prohibited buyers attempt, often successfully, to beat the background-check system — are almost never prosecuted at all, which is why Hunter Biden is not in prison on federal gun charges. Possession cases are routinely dismissed without prosecution. [More]

So enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

I take it we can’t count on your support?

Winning?

Flores, who had 51% of the vote to Democratic candidate Dan Sanchez’ 43% when The Associated Press called the race, will become the first Mexican-born congresswoman to serve in the House. Her family moved to the United States when she was 6 years old. [More]

An “AQ” rating…

And we’ve seen what “the highest possible candidate grade” means again and again and again and…

Nothing about her here?

Here we go:

We MUST … encourage LEGAL immigration.

Why, if the vast majority overwhelmingly end up voting Democrat and anti-gun? Or is that the line the cheaper H-1B worker money guys spinning dreams about her promising future told her to use?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”…

A Right Delayed

[Charlotte] In response to litigation filed by Grass Roots North Carolina (GRNC) and Gun Owners of America (GOA) over delays in handgun permits, a Superior Court judge last month issued a preliminary injunction enjoining Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden from further delays. [More]

Good. I figured with four stars and more stripes on his sleeve than a fleet admiral, this important guy’s will was martial law…
