Marxine Wants You Dead

Maxine Waters Calls on DOJ to Investigate Trump Supporters ‘Training Up in the Hills’ for Civil War [More]

As opposed to Maxine Waters supporters training for another “defining moment in the way that black people resisted“…?

And funny, how “insurrectionists of color” are social justice champions in this racist b!+ch’s world…

New York Wants to Ban All Semiautomatics

Proposed legislation in New York could make the state in the nation the first to block gun makers from selling pistols if they don’t take measures to prevent them from being able to be converted to fire like machine guns. [More]

I just submitted an AmmoLand article on this.

Prohibitionist Exploits Own Incompetence to Deny Emergency Gun Access to Endangered Women

Discouraging women from defending themselves with the greatest equalizer yet devised and encouraging ignorance and fear is a major part of the gun prohibitionists’ unified propaganda effort. [More]

Why would anyone who’s not a willfilly ignorant dolt listen to bleating incompetents about anything?

When Frauds Meet Citizenship Malpractitioners

They promised it would save lives and make your communities safer. They told you that “no one really needs that to defend themselves.” Well, how has it worked out? Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, takes a look at some pretty sobering numbers that not only demonstrates how miserably Washington’s civilian disarmament efforts have been in making our communities safer, but actually shows that Washington has now become of of the nation’s most dangerous states. [Watch]

That anyone actually believes it’s about safety points to one of the great scams of our time. At this point, with the information available, ignorance is the choice of the lazy.

Catch-22

Under its new policy, the LA County Sheriff’s Department says people like Turner must apply through their local police chiefs and receive a letter denying them before asking for permission from the sheriff’s department. [More]

Who then comes up with excuses why he can’t do it.

After a death threat and on the advice of an investigating cop who told me they could not do anything unless it was acted on, I carried illegally in California from @ 1981 to 2007 (when I moved back to Ohio), because I literally could not get a permit to save my life (which I did on one occasion simply by presenting).

Start @ 3:27 for my recollection.

The criminals who deserve to be imprisoned and have their lives destroyed are the goddam bastards who forced me to risk my family, freedom, and career.

Something’s Gotta Give*

Supreme Court Review Sought to Challenge Firearm and Magazine Bans Citing Second Amendment [More]

With all the actions being filed, how can SCOTUS continue to leave what we all know the truth to be in legal limbo?

We’ll find our just as sure as we live

Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give.

On Topic

OffTopic/
David, What’s with the Ohio AG not joining the other States in the lawsuit challenging the new rule against private sales? [More]

I won’t respond there, because a big thing with me is keeping things on topic (see “Comment H0use Rules” in sidebar). That’s why comment threads hijacked away from the conversation I’m inviting, or worse, devolving into childish squabbling, really grind my gears.

But it’s a good question, and Dave Yost hasn’t shied away from those before.

Where is Ohio?

Let’s ask him.

Lawsuit Against HOA Over Shooting Illustrates Deep-Pockets Blame Game

In other words, the plaintiffs know they have nothing of merit, so they’re throwing everything against the wall to see if anything sticks. [More]

In a just world, the case would be thrown out as frivolous, plaintiffs would pay defendant attorney fees and court costs, and the ambulance-chasing “civil rights” lawyer would be fined and threatened with disbarment if he ever pulled this crap again.

A Fighting Chance

My husband was killed in a ‘gun free zone.’ Arm teachers for safety and to save lives [More]

I’d say “train teachers.” And get out of the way of them arming themselves.

I did note one loudmouthed self-identified Marxist punk saying it would “turn schools into war zones.” If I could remember where, I’d link to it.

No surprise he prefers them to remain killing fields…

Beria Trap*

Someone does not need a license to carry, according to the law, “in his place of abode or fixed place of business.” Yakaitis owned the home Powanda attempted to burglarize. The catch: He didn’t live there—it reportedly had no tenants at the time of the crime—opening a window for law enforcement to charge him essentially on a technicality. [More]

It’s awful hard to make the swine harassing him live in infamy if we’re not told his name.

On Guns and Immigration, Alabama Republican Shows Himself to Be ‘Enemy in the Gates’

Republican Rep. Reed Ingram “feels” the state’s 2022 permitless carry law, where “anyone over 19 years old can carry a concealed handgun without a permit, background check or training,” is a “bad bill.” Now “he intends to file a bill that would instead require someone to be 21 to conceal carry. They would also have to pass a hunter safety course or get a permit from the sheriff’s office.” [More]

With Republicans like this jackass, who needs Democrats?

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Plaintiffs bring this action seeking a stay of agency action, temporary restraining order, and/or a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo, followed by a declaratory judgment and permanent injunctive relief restraining Defendants from enforcing a Final Rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the U.S. Department of Justice on April 19, 2024, entitled “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms” (“Final Rule”), 89 Fed. Reg. 28968. [More]

This is good work:

COUNT 5 Second Amendment: Right to Keep and Bear Arms 193. All foregoing allegations are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth herein. 194. The Second Amendment provides that “[a] well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 195. The text of the Second Amendment provides no qualifications or limitations constraining who may exercise the right or for what purpose the right may be exercised. Accordingly, the Second Amendment presumptively protects all Americans and all lawful purposes. 196. ATF failed “to justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). Nor can ATF justify its regulation because there is no early American tradition of requiring licensure of gun sellers

Plenty of pundits will be giving you their read on this. Why not read it for yourself?

Conference Call

Two Second Amendment Foundation cases challenging bans on so-called “assault weapons” and magazine capacity—one in Illinois and the other in Maryland—are among five cases distributed Tuesday by the U.S. Supreme Court for conference May 16. [More]

2A defenders are doing a full court press on behalf of all of us.
