Back for Another Round
The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms have once again petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in their continuing challenge of Maryland’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
How much longer can they avoid the inevitable?
More Than a Ghost of a Chance
Inclusiveness Writ Large
“These fifty laws identified by the Attorney General constitute a long, embarrassing, disgusting, insidious, reprehensible list of examples of government tyranny towards our own people,” Benitez wrote — and such “repugnant historical examples of prejudice and bigotry will not be used to justify the State’s current infringement on the constitutional rights of citizens.” [More]
Yet that’s exactly what Rob Bonta and all Democrats– not just the California ones — are calling for, no matter how much they try to distance themselves with specious, self-serving excuses.
Using their “logic,” they can also use the whip as long as they do it to all of us.
What do we have a Second Amendment for, again…?

F—in’ traitors. How is this not judicial insurrection?
In other words, they agree with Democrats and all the “commonsense gun safety law” groups.

We’re the Only Ones Pro-Gun Enough
From an email conversation I was having about cops, oaths, and pensions with Hershchel:
I had a similar experience with a “pro gun cop” who claimed to support 2A that I had been corresponding with a while back–
I asked him – since he knew who I was and knew I would not do anything criminal with it – if asked if I let him know I was peaceably carrying concealed and did not have a permit because it is my right to bear arms, would he arrest me?
After hemming and hawing and excuse making, I finally got him to admit he would “have to” enforce the law.
I recall writing this up on the old blog– perhaps even having the conversation in comments under a post — but it’s been years and I don’t have time to try and find it, assuming I even could…
History Lesson
“Our brief is really a look at history,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “We have detailed gun regulation in this country dating back to before the Revolutionary War, and our brief explains how the state has failed to provide a single Founding-era restriction on firearms commerce. [More]
The prohibitionist have been dodging that challenge for a long time.

One thing I haven’t done is vet candidates for proof of commitment, so use this as a guide but do your own due diligence. I might be able to affect the U.S. Senate race, but I’ve pretty much been redistricted out of having a say in the rest of it.
And yeah, Dolan’s a douche.
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!
All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.

“This bill would stop the sale of weapons similar to those I and many of the other veterans carried in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Helmer said. [More]
Yeah, can’t let the people keep and bear ARMS…
Not just a false authority, but a LYING false authority.
At least enough ratioers knowing better force him to way “similar” instead of “the same gun issued to me.”

ATF argues against California’s demands for ghost gun regulations – California is demanding that ATF change its rules relating to ghost guns. [More]
ATF isn’t grabbing guns fast enough for the people who want it all, want it now, and want it delivered.

That’s all fine and good, but I still want to know why forcing me to pay for someone else’s living costs don’t violate the 13th Amendment…

UPDATE
Trump/RFK Jr Team Up Would Betray Gun Owners
It would be a “yuge” mistake. Knowing the truth about Kennedy’s historic support for citizen disarmament would take the fire out of a lot of gun-owning voters’ bellies. [More]
Stop me if you’ve heard about Trump’s advisors giving him crap advice before. Would you really vote to put someone who doesn’t trust you with guns a heartbeat away from the presidency?
