Will US Supreme Court Hear ‘Spirit of Aloha’ Gun Rights Case? [More]

For the Umpteenth Time, It’s Not About Bump Stocks
We’re the Only Ones Oath-Breaking Enough
The organization, called Police Leaders for Community Safety, will prop up anti-gunner candidates running for Congress in the hopes of getting more gun control laws passed at the federal level. [More]
The money behind it is what I want to trace.
They don’t show up on Guidestar yet, and their website is registered by proxy, and so far, it doesn’t look like they have the guts to open a “social media” account so gun owners can publicly tell these grunting oinkers what they think of them.

Bump Stocks Now Legal Again As Supreme Court Strikes Down Gun Device Ban
Looks like ATF will have to surrender my bump stock back to me when I come to confiscate it from them.
UPDATE
Herschel points out a concern with “Alito’s “Machinegun Sammy’s” response.
I agree. Congress has no Constitutional authority to “act,” either.
A Bracing Decision
Judge Reed O’Connor Vacates ATF Pistol Brace Rule [More]
Herschel has the links.
UPDATE
Now I’ve got to go get a better one than this:
Sign of the Times
NY legislature passes bill requiring posted warning in gun stores [More]
“We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes … It used to be that smoking was a glamour symbol—cool, sexy, macho. Now it is dirty, deadly—and banned.”
Is there anything in the law that prohibits posting this right next to it?

Leveling the Playing Field
By Fair Means or Foul
California law prohibiting gun shows at county fairs upheld by federal appeals court in unanimous decision [More]
Years ago, before the Great Western Gun Show was forced out of California, I recall being especially bitter over how it could attract tens of thousands of gun owners–yet a counter-protest against the Million Moms preceded by announcements and appeals throughout the “activist” network, only drew a few hundred. And out of all Los Angeles, we’d be lucky to get 50 to show up at an NRA Members’ Council meeting, and of those, maybe half a dozen– of the same people all the time– actually did any work.
Add the engineered demographic shift our “gun rights leaders” say doesn’t qualify for “single issue” consideration, and the traditional uselessness of California Republicans, and no other outcome was possible.
Appealing to the full Ninth Circuit won’t reverse things. That’s just a requisite step to denial, and then hoping the Supreme Court will hear it and that it still has a favorable majority.

Uvalde Exploiters Leave No Deep Pockets Unpicked in UPS and FedEx Complaints
Let a parasite know it will be fed and it will return to suck out the rest. [More]
The goal is to disarm Americans by making supplying them with arms too costly, and caving in to extortion will only encourage more. There need to be personal consequences for frivolous filings.
A Tall Order
Injunction granted against ATF’s ‘firearms dealer’ rule for 4 states, 4 groups … The injunction applies to residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Utah along with members of Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Tennessee Firearms Association and Virginia Citizens Defense League. [More]
Yo, Texas gun owners: The new infringements were brought to you in part by Tony Gonzales, and a number of you couldn’t be bothered to do anything about that.

And They’re Not the Only Ones
“Senator Kennedy is concerned about Czechoslovak Group’s potential acquisition of Vista Outdoors because it could make the U.S. Army reliant on a sole U.S. contractor for ammunition and U.S. law enforcement agencies more reliant on foreign providers of primers and ammunition” … [More]
Hunter Guilty
Hunter Biden found guilty on all counts in gun trial [More]
Here’s a novel thought I’ll offer first to Alan Gottlieb:
If you want to generate major news that will knock the Democrats on their butts, and do the right thing as far as 2A purity is concerned, offer to “defend Hunter Biden’s gun rights” in addition to Trump’s.
UPDATE
Looks like Donald Trump has a similar idea:
‘Don’t worry, Joe – I will Save your son after I get elected (for the third time)!’
Commonsense LEGO Safety Laws
“We’re here to talk about a roughly one-inch piece of plastic. It looks innocuous enough, a little like a LEGO or a k’nex block. But this one-inch piece of plastic is killing people,” said Leigha Simonton, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. “Machine gun conversion devices can turn Second Amendment-protected firearms into illegal weapons of war, and petty criminals into brutal killers. We cannot have our streets turned into war zones.” [More]
So the federal government has the authority to ban a one-inch piece of plastic– just like the Founders intended. And it’s killing people… does this broad ever listen to herself?
What the hell does Simpleton think “Second Amendment-protected firearms” were intended to be?

A Ban Too Far
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed the suit earlier this week, claiming the 1999 rule makes it illegal to “possess or control any firearm, gun or similar device at any time while on the waters, banks or shores that might be used for the purpose of fishing,” goes too far. [More]
Any infringement goes too far.
Then again, look who’s calling the shots, and remember that the next time the lying gun-grabbers tell you they’re gun owners who “respect” the Second Amendment — and then mention hunting.
Your turn in the barrel, Fudds…

Going It Alone
A year after Newsom called for constitutional amendment on gun safety, no other states have joined him [More]
Fellow opportunistic Democrats see an advantage in letting a political rival make a fool of himself, and everyone else is pretty much just wondering who the impotent cuck in the orange shirt is.

Uvalde Families Demand More ‘Gun Violence’
Uvalde shooting survivors’ families UPS, FedEx for shipping weapon used by gunman in school massacre – The lawsuit claims the companies shipped an enhanced trigger system that allowed the gunman to convert a firearm into a fully automatic or semi-automatic weapon. [More]
I was going to ask if she means it acts like a selector switch, but it’s not my job as a reader to discern what a “real reporter” means. I can only imagine what UPS and FedEx risk managers are going to do to their rules now…
I think I’m gonna write this one up to explain what I mean by the title.

A Numbers Game
Gun Owners’ Efforts with Trump Must Not End with White House Win
If we do somehow manage to help him gain a second term in the White House, we’re going to need to be able to influence what he says and does on guns. And we won’t be prepared to do that if we gloss over the seriousness of his failures. [More]
We need his ear so we can try to influence him before he starts to stray.
Resistance is Futile?
my criticism of the right-wing-insurgency conspiracy theory is the lack of meat space networks … bc they don’t exist in the volume required to build an integrated insurgency [More]
And the commies aim to keep it that way. Including by going after easy pickings.
All is not lost, though — if they thought they could, they’d have already tried for your guns.
Like the man said, quantity has a quality all of its own.
That and know your catechism.
