Going for Broker

The Department of Justice is continuing the prosecution of Tim Durkin of Durkin Tactical. Durkin was charged with “engaging in the business” of selling firearms, without making a single gun sale. [Watch]

Are they trying to alienate gun owners before the midterms?

Leaving gun owners wondering if the Trump administration is bipolar or just frauds is not a winning formula for inspiring voters, donors, and volunteers.

Gee, I really hope no angry MAGA fashionista demands to know if I’d rather have Kamala Harris.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

But wait! There’s more!

Where the Buck Stops

Since President Donald J. Trump signed the “Protecting Second Amendment Rights” executive order in February, his Department of Justice has done exactly the opposite—relentlessly defending the federal government’s unconstitutional gun control regime. Instead of using the Justice Department’s vast power to secure Americans’ right to keep and bear arms, the Trump DOJ has used it to fight against the People—even taking extreme positions in court to resist injunctions that block the government’s enforcement of gun laws that federal judges have already found unconstitutional.

Jeez, I talk like that and get readers telling the magazine if they don’t fire me they’re going to cancel their subscription…

What a refreshing change from all the groups that suck up to the guy afraid that if they get on his wrong side he’s going to call them names.

I wonder how Mark W. Smith is gonna spin this.

Locking Arms

Georgia judge declares city ordinance banning guns in unlocked cars as ‘unenforceable’ – Mayor Van Johnson says the city will continue enforcing the rule, as the judge’s decision likely only applies to the defendant [More]

Why some feel compelled to leave guns in their cars is left unaddressed. But by “enforcing” the mayor means authorizing men with guns to ignore state preemption and use violence to take citizens hostage.

Looks like Van the Man doesn’t much like the First Amendment, either. That’s a lot easier when you can ignore the Second with impunity.

Speaking of locking up guns, I wonder how many people dumb enough to vote for this guy think the cable goes around, not through…?

Just in Time for Veteran’s Day

Why a federal concealed carry gun bill must be stopped… Anthony Swofford is the author of “Jarhead: A Marine’s Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles.” He served in a Marine Corps scout sniper platoon during the Persian Gulf War and is special faculty in the Department of English at Carnegie Mellon University. [More]

Once again we see the false authority logical fallacy, as if his military experience qualifies him to second-guess the Founders. 

Tell us you don’t understand the oath you took without telling us you don’t understand the oath you took. Being a “war hero” doesn’t override that.

What Other Rights Can States Ignore?

This is the last stop for Ballot Measure 114 on a state level. Given the makeup and history of the Oregon courts, it would be wise to not be too optimistic about the outcome. As usual, we hope we are wrong on this issue. And, keep in mind, that, irrespective of the outcome, the Oregon Legislature will continue to enact every possible impediment to gun ownership in Oregon even as it seeks to protect criminals and the violently mentally ill. [More]

If only we had a Justice Department committed to protecting unalienable rights from state and local abuses…

In the Spirit of Aloha

Hawaii Sensitive Places Defense Fund… The fact the State of Hawaii hired these big shots is proof they are scared we can win. Please donate what you can. [More]

I trust readers here need no introduction to Alan Beck…?

Here’s just one way costs accumulate.

And this is what the state can afford to bolster rights denial because it has comparatively unlimited tax plunder to draw from.

A Perfect Understanding

The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has upheld a ban on possessing guns in parks, while completely misunderstanding basic principles of law. [Watch]

So their decision “contradicts SCOTUS”? And we’re sure it’s because they “misunderstand”?

I know what would happen if I went against a judge’s orders.

What will happen to them?

Last week, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, “Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer.” Using a mis-mash of half-baked statistics, legal misinformation, and cherry-picked anecdotes, it tried to make a case that there is just too much darned self-defense going on in America.

Shutting Down Freedom

[T]he Firearm Access During Shutdowns Act was introduced by U.S. Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho), as S. 3085, and by U.S. Rep. Ben Cline (R-Va.), as H.R. 5874. The Act would guarantee law-abiding Americans can continue to exercise their Second Amendment rights during a government shutdown, requiring federal agencies to continue processing firearm applications and licenses during a government shutdown. [More]

Prognosis:

1% chance of being enacted

Report brought to you by the “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” people…

We don’t need any bills to ensure continued recognition of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights because the presumption is there is nothing government is authorized to do in terms of prior restraint infringements.

Why is this one different, and why do “we” unquestioningly tolerate it?

Thank You, Captains Obvious

Prop 50: A Direct Threat to the Second Amendment [Watch]

Yes, Democrats mean to rule with a monopoly of power, which includes a monopoly of violence, and they’d do whatever it takes and then some. The unanswered question is how did California get this way and what have the gun groups –including CRPA — done to warn citizens and try to stop the root cause, or have they ignored it with a “single issue” excuse?

And will they keep ignoring it in places that have not yet turned because they’re afraid the communists will call them names?

No Dog in This Fight

Trump endorses Andrew Cuomo on eve of New York mayoral election: ‘You really have no choice’ [More]

Of course we do.

We will not disarm.

Curious– he’s put more energy into a congenital gun-grabber who told the Republicans he’s now pleading with to “Get out” than he has an unequivocal Second Amendment supporter.

We’re the Only Ones Infringing Enough

In keeping with the new state requirement that all would-be handgun buyers first acquire a purchase permit, the Delaware State Police have launched a portal for permit applications. Called the “Permit to Purchase Application Portal,” the webpage is used to gather personal information, including name, address, gender, date of birth, email, employment status (including employer info), and race and ethnicity information. [More]

And remember, “law-abiding” gun owners: Back the Blue!

When I think of portals, I don’t think of anything good coming out of the other side.
