A Good First Step

“Licenses”…?

Massie has a better idea.

But Trump hates him.

Expect court challenges and being drawn out and unresolved for years.

Who DeWine Picks as Vance’s Replacement of Crucial Interest to Gun Owners

For now, there are several good choices for gun owners that DeWine can make, a few problematic ones, and one that’s completely unacceptable, his previous pick Dolan. [More]

Review the candidates and let him know what you think.

I gotta tell ya, I was delighted to see seven comments by the time I noticed this was up and then saw only one was on topic…:-(

Credit Where Due

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners. [More]

And there’s no link for this yet, but it just came in from SAF:

Am I reading these wrong?

We’ve done this before. Let’s not do it any more.

What Are We, Chopped Liver?

Forget some of us…?

An Age-Old Question

However, state legislatures have the authority and prerogative, rooted in the Tenth Amendment, to set and adjust the age of majority as they see fit “for the public good”… [More]

This:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

does not override this:

This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

It’s so weird– young people in Marx for Our Lives demanding that the government curtail their rights because they’re not mature and responsible enough to claim them.

ATF Prosecutes Sheriff Over Using Department Guns at Public Machine Gun Shoot

Police designating themselves the “Only Ones” to be trusted with arms and claiming exemptions to infringements the people are subjected to invites corruption, and seeing officials “hoist with their own petard” hardly invites sympathy…So, it’s not unfair to wonder what’s in it for gun owners to come to Wendt’s defense? [More]

The greater danger is ATF subjectively assigning itself powers and having the courts agree with it.

Death from Playing It Safe

My once-solid Republican area is now solid Democrat “thanks” to “redrawing” of district borders, resulting in my gun-grabber rep’s reelection:

With all 8,878 precincts reporting, Sykes won with 51.05% of the votes.

*Emilia Sykes (D) 193,575
*Kevin Coughlin (R) 185,622

You can’t do worse than losing. I maintain a high profile in a district that attracts thousands to gun shows could have helped, and the low profile presented did nothing to mobilize them.

My only consolation: She won’t be in a position to do much damage for a few years.

More Winning: Progressive Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón Loses Reelection [More]

It depends upon what the meaning of the word “winning” is:

Nathan Hochman Receives Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate Distinction in his Bid to Become L.A. County’s next District Attorney

The enemy of my enemy can be a more dangerous enemy.

An Unregulated Militia

One might reasonably ask why, with all the various shooting sports available, it is the tactical shooting sports that have grown exponentially in recent years. The answer is simple: There is a growing recognition in the United States that average citizens may, in the not-too-distant future, have to defend themselves against ungovernable crime — or tyranny. [More]

Just because Congress is deliberately indifferent to it’s mandated militia obligations under Article.1. Section. 8. doesn’t mean DIY isn’t an option… all except for the organizing part. Gun groups focused exclusively on self-defense really ought to put some energy into convincing “our beautiful Second Amendment” president-elect into promoting that and removing state “legal” barriers against…

Rights-Free Zone Challenge

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal court challenge of Maryland’s restrictive “sensitive places” gun control law have filed an appellants’ brief with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. [More]

So the Founders intended “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless we tell them ‘Except here, here, and here…’?”
