It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Peers’ Is

Justice Alito worries about improperly removing jurors with ‘traditional religious beliefs’ [More]

And if you think that’s a disqualifier, try going through voir dire on a gun case and admitting you’re an NRA member…

On Being Necessary

Those Forgotten and Ignored 13 Words: Why We Need Our State Second Amendment Militias Back in Force and Effect [More]

Some of us have been saying that for a while, and wondering when the “gun rights groups” are going to give it some of the attention they devote exclusively to “self-defense.”

I have another Firearms News article coming out soon on efforts to ban “private paramilitary” activities.

Just Think of Them as Commiesense Influencer Safety Laws

As reported earlier today, the lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on firearm marketing to youth, known as Jr. Shooting Sports Magazines v. Bonta, got a boost with the announcement that the State’s request for an en banc panel review of our favorable ruling in a lower court was denied, thus securing our injunction win. [More]

Nobody thought totalitarians would just stop at the Second Amendment, did they?

It’s telling, the literature and imagery they DO want young people exposed to.

A Taxing Proposition

Today the Illinois Appellate Division reversed a lower court decision that had dismissed a legal challenge to the Cook County tax on firearms and ammunition sales. [More]

That case has been going back and forth for years. I’d reserve words like “huge” for the final decision, whenever that is.

The Holding Pattern

I’ve mentioned before how I love to read books but between the reading I have to do for my professional obligations, the work itself, and my personal life, there’s just not a lot of time. I suppose having a sense of purpose and looking forward every morning to a full day I’m enthusiastic about living is something I should be grateful for, but it does mean making one choice means not making another — for now.

I just finished The Deadly Path, and am finalizing an interview with former ATF Agent and author Pete Forcelli for AmmoLand. Stay tuned.

I also agreed to read The Misinformation Antidote because the author contacted Firearms News claiming “court decisions carry with them the seeds of the [Second] amendment’s future destruction.” I’ll let you know what I think after I read it.

And then yesterday, one of my favorite liberty authors, Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D., sent me a copy of his new book, Stalin, Mao, Communism, and their 21st-Century Aftermath in Russia and China. The man knows whereof he speaks and I’m looking forward to reading it and sharing my impressions — just give me a minute.

Sons of Akal Purakh

Turban-wearing Sikh motorcyclists would be free to ride helmet-free in California if Assembly Bill 2392, proposed by Fresno Assembly member Esmeralda Soria, becomes law this year. [More]

And that bit about making no law respecting the establishment of religion, or that other bit about equal protection under the law…? Precedent has been established with the kirpan.

Maybe people could start their own “faith” and claim the same “privilege”? Just not without the state claiming it alone has ther power to recognize “authorized religions” (just like in China!)

Then again, it’s hardly surprising that a “Gun Sense Candidate” views rights as things that can be given or withheld depending on what’s in it for her.

As an aside, I always thought Sons of Anarchy based in California was ridiculous, with the first thing you see with all these lawless OMG warriors is them showing unified submission to the law by wearing their helmets of obedience.

Minnesota ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban Includes ‘Fixed Magazine’ .22s Holding More Than 10 Rounds

There’s one other disqualifier though that should clear up ATF Director Steve Dettelbach’s inability to define what an “assault weapon” is, itself reminiscent of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson taking a pass on defining “woman.” He should have just said “A Marlin 70620 Model 60 .22 Long Rifle.” [More]

Man, they’re letting anything be a “weapon of war” these days…

Yearly Self-Betrayal Mandate

Senator Portantino Introduces Bill Requiring Annual Registration of Firearms [More]

With a fee for the “privilege,” of course.

Hey, it’s going to cost money to round them up later, or just when you miss a filing deadline.

Here’s Tony with some stupid white women.

Begging the Question

Figliuzzi: More Caution Needed on Who’s Allowed to Exercise Second Amendment Rights [More]

That’s not what they were doing, and this Figliuzzi character knows it.

See the way he started out with a deliberate fallacy to draw in the ignorant?

Hey, if you were MSNBC, you’d think of your viewers that way, too.

JOE SOMMERLAD, ‘Real Reporter’

Donald Trump boasted that he did “nothing” to alter the Second Amendment during his time as president – just hours after a mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade left one person dead and dozens more injured. [More]

First of all, that’s not quite true, but Joe will now explain what moron criminal scumbags have to do with protection of the lawful exercise of Second Amendment rights agaiunst infringements.

What? He won’t?

Because his only agenda here is to rile up the ignorant to vote for Joe Biden and demand more citizen disarmament edicts, demonstrable by the patehtically transparent way he’s latched onto parroting the gun-grabber narrative du jour…?

You suck, Joe. You’re the reason “mainstream” media is held in contempt and I call them the DSM. But keep trying to please master to avoid being discarded.

Our Own Public/Private Idaho

Senate Bill 1291 was introduced in the state Senate earlier this week. The measure would prohibit public contracts with individuals or companies that are boycotting those that engage in or support the manufacture, distribution, sale or use of firearms, and would also require companies that contract with the state to disclose if their policies discriminate against the firearms industry. [More]

I’m wondering how much of this is posturing and how much of it will withstand a legal challenge on First Amendment grounds.

The Pre-SWAT Checklist

Guns Down America is headed up by the career prohibitionist who partnered with the commie union-affiliated Amalgamated Bank to come up with its Department of Precrime algorithm.

You don’t think any LE’s sent out to investigate are going to show up unprepared for a mag dump, do you?

Commiesense Gun Laws

The bulk of Saturday night’s debate was over three failed amendments introduced by Republicans which sought to circumvent the waiting period for active duty military, people who have obtained a family violence protection order and those who pass a background check before the waiting period is over. [More]

So basically, thank you for your service, listen better to your man next time, and f*** you.
