It’s a Big Club and You Can’t Have It

Attorney General Bonta Appeals District Court Decision Overturning a 100-Year-Old Law and Allowing “Billy Clubs” [More]

It’s not his money and there’s always plenty more.

Democrats don’t even want you to have a stick.

California to Outlaw Chairs?

California argues that, under the Gun Control Act, a receiver or frame can be considered a firearm because such pieces are “designed to or may readily be converted” into functional weapons. [More]

Shoot, I can instantly convert all kinds of things into a functional weapon.

The state calls ghost guns the “weapon of choice” for gun traffickers, gangs and political extremists, and says the Golden State has had to incur significant costs to regulate the guns because ATF is not doing so.

Talk about a term of convenience!

Gotta Serve Somebody

The two letters show opposite assumptions about reality and the role of governments. The NY letter assumes guns are bad, and ordinary citizens should not have guns, because ordinary citizens do bad things with guns. The letter from the 28 states assumes government is subordinate to the people, government must defend the nation, and an armed population aids the government in defending the nation against all enemies. These two assumptions about reality are in direct conflict. [More]

Like Mike always said:

We are, in fact, two countries divided by the fundamental difference of principle on the question: Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?

A Way to Make It Harder

Dettelbach, in the AP interview, declined to comment on the specifics of Card’s case, which an independent commission in Maine is investigating. But he said it is clear that the nation needs to make it harder for people “that everyone agrees should not have firearms, who the law says are not entitled to have firearms, to get them because it’s too easy to get them now.” [More]

But we already know a way.

It’s just that there’s this “due process” thing those who would rule us don’t want to have to follow…

Herer’s a first step in the right direction, but as long as they’ve got to be let out before they can be declared safe with certainty, expect plenty of lapses.

We’re the Only Ones Tyrannical Enough

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is initiating Project Tyr, an effort in its infancy to employ Amazon’s artificial intelligence-driven Rekognition cloud service to identify firearms—among other things—and the people associated with them. [More]

Seems about right.

They figure we know their intentions well enough by now to where they don’t need to add the “ant” at the end.

Billy for You

Defendant Attorney General Rob Bonta, and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with him, and those duly sworn state peace officers and federal law enforcement officers who gain knowledge of this injunction order or know of the existence of this injunction order, are enjoined from implementing or enforcing California Penal Code § 22210 as it applies to a billy. [More]

Bastards don’t even want you to have a club…

Now look for the Ninth Cicuit to screw it up.

Hawaii’s Butterfly Knife Decision and ‘Spirit of Aloha’ Both Offensive to Freedom

We have two citizen disarmament cases wending their way through two courts, but they both rely on essentially the same thing: superstition relying on ancient barbaric belief systems that say the people exist to serve rulers rather than the government exists to serve the people. [More]

We are supposed to be beyond rule by kapu, where offenders are severely punished for offending the gods, which judges and politicians increasingly portray themselves to be when they presume to deny unalienable rights.

The Butterfly Effect

Ninth Circuit to rehear Hawaii butterfly knife ban… In its en banc petition, the state only briefly touched on historical arms regulations in its pre-territorial days. However, the state Supreme Court recently harkened back to the Kingdom of Hawaii — which historically levied heavy regulations on weapons — while pushing back on the Second Amendment. [More]

We’re talking Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck’s case,

Judge ReTodd Eddins thinks “the spirit of Aloha” is the supreme law of the land there? I know they had history and tradition– did they have text? And does that spirit mean they’re bringing back Kapu?

Mark W. Smith thinks this may backfire.

The Company Gungrabbers Keep

“My generation is the generation of mass shootings in our country,” said Democratic Rep. Tim Hernández of Denver, one of the main sponsors of House Bill 1292. At age 26, he’s currently the state’s youngest lawmaker, and he’s just months into his term after being appointed to fill a vacancy. [More]

Tim, of course, is an open borders race-hustling communist subversive who laughed at dead Israeli babies.

And no surprise, he got the exact wrong message out of A Bug’s Life:

Do you let one ant stand up to us then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life. It’s not about food, it’s about keeping those ants in line.

We get that. And we will not disarm.

At Least He Admits It

Get rid of the guns. In Kansas, Missouri, everywhere. Amend the Constitution and protect our kids. [More]

But no one’s talking about… uh…

Just here for the ratio…

Still, I wonder what Clay Wirestone would be able to do to protect his husband and son if needed. I’d never forgive myself if my loved ones were in danger and all I could do was watch.
