Category: Second Amendment

Rocky Mountain Low

Earlier today, the deceptively named “Sensitive Spaces” bill, which would prohibit concealed carry in almost every public space, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on a vote of 3-2. [More]

It’s not just keeping arms that “shall not be infringed.” It’s bearing them.

Of course, treasonous Democrats know that.

But they also know that once it’s passed, they can drag this on for years through court challenges with virtually unlimited tax plunder.

None Dare Call It Treason

That national and state gun groups refuse to recognize this greatest threat to RKBA with a bull$h!+ “single issue” excuse and not assess political grades with this as a factor is a conscious betrayal of every one of their members.

Youth Must Be Served

The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuot denied a request for rehearing En Banc in the Lara v. Pennsylvania case involving young adults and the second amendment. Mark Smith Four Boxes Diner explains the big 2A win! [Watch]

Here’s the case.

Of COURSE RKBA applies to 18-10-year-olds. Try 17.

Of COURSE 1791 is the relevant time period. Some of us have been arguing that for decades. But it’s no surprise lying prohibitionists once more favor applying the racist Black Codes of their Democrat forbears to all.

And of COURSE Judge Krause, with her “In today’s America, by contrast—where firearms include automatic assault rifles” line of “reasoning” is a propaganda-spewing idiot apparatchik.

SAF weighs in.

Not the Only One?

“I said [at the press conference] if you shoot accurately, and you kill the guy, you save taxpayers money. And I also said that if somebody gets killed during a home invasion, the odds of them re-offending are zero. And we like those odds, which we do,” he told Fox News Digital. [More]

Still, even if you live in Santa Rosa County, the sheriff’s public sentiments notwithstanding, remember one thing when his deputies respond.

Speaking of Text, History, and Tradition…

A federal appeals court upheld court orders prohibiting two criminal defendants from possessing firearms while awaiting trial. [More]

Not that such prohibitions work…

If people are going to cite Bruen to demand historical context, I’d be interested in whether or not bail for those who “would pose an unusual danger, beyond the ordinary citizen, to themselves or others” was widely practiced in the Founding era, under what conditions, and if denying it to the really heinous ones was alleviated by the right to a “speedy trial.”

Virginia’s “But if a crime be punishable by life or limb, or if it be manslaughter and there be good cause to believe the party guilty thereof, he shall not be admitted to bail” strikes me as consistent with another law I keep prattling on about, and raises another question: What was the average length of time from arrest to trial to the gallows for the bad ones?

Clearing the Board

The Governor vetoed 30 gun-control bills, modified 6 other gun-control bills so that they no longer pose a threat to Virginia’s lawful gun-owners, and he signed 4 bills that had been modified in the General Assembly changing VCDL’s position from Oppose to Neutral. There are no more gun-control bills left. [More]

And making lemonade out of lemons:

Today, the Virginia chapters of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, both part of Everytown for Gun Safety’s grassroots network, issued the following statements applauding Governor Youngkin for signing two gun safety measures into law, including a measure to prohibit auto sears, which are devices that convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons, HB 22 (Del. Jones)/SB 210 (Sen. Perry) and a measure to hold gun owners accountable for allowing children under their care with certain dangerous histories to access firearms, HB 36 (Del. Willet)/SB 44 (Sen. Van Valkenburg).

Even though those bills only parrot what are already federal laws, VCDL being “neutral” doesn’t cut it. The federal laws infringe on Virginia gun owners, and as such, both are should be opposed.

I do wonder how a “preliminary determination” rises to the level of proof beyond a reasonable doubt…

But it has “strong bipartisan support,” so it MUST be good. Right?

I’m sure it would have stopped young Dylan in his tracks…

Meanwhile, Over at the ‘Living Constitution’…

Former Justice Breyer rips conservative Supreme Court for giving nation ‘Constitution no one wants’ – Breyer said originalism will ‘overlook lots of changes designed to further the value of protecting basic civil rights, because the world has changed’ [More]

Yeah, the guy who dissented in Heller and said the RKBA shall be infringed wants the Constitution to say whatever he and his fellow authoritarians want it to say, because they’re smarter than the Founders and they’re smarter than you.

Everybody wants that.

No…?

Over 100 migrants break through razor wire, knock down guards as they illegally cross El Paso border in wild scene [More]

What the hell is this for?

How can a government that fails in its primary duty claim consent?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Good point.

First Hurdle Cleared

House Bill 24-1292, otherwise known as the “Assault Weapons Ban” passed the House Judiciary Committee on a vote of 7-3 early this morning, March 20th at 12:18 am. It will now go to the floor of the House for debate among the entire chamber. The battle against this horrible bill is far from over. [More]

And then the rest of the process to enactment, and then the lawsuits, and then the appeals, and…

When is SCOTUS going to put a stop to this nonsense?

Or will Republicans blow it and Democrats put a stop to SCOTUS?

Chicago Announces First-of-Its-Kind Lawsuit Seeking to Hold Glock Accountable for Manufacturing and Selling Pistols That Can Easily Be Turned into Machine Guns Using ‘Glock Switches’ [More]

They’re never gonna stop, are they?

But the city wants “machineguns” for its “Only Ones”? So is Glock going to continue selling them guns?
