A Matter of Priorities

My existential concerns about Israel’s very survival vastly outweight any concerns re local 2A rights. [More]

Whereas MY existential concerns are about the Republic’s very survival, and why I have consistently warned against the competing loyalties of “dual citizenship.”

As for Israel’s defense, we– and they — should heed the strategy outlined by the late Sam Cohen, “father of the neutron bomb,” that the U.S. could substantially reduce aid by stopping essentially dictating their defense options:

Finally, and most importantly as I see it, as an American whose concern for my country transcends by far that for Israel or any other country, if such conditions could be established for Israel’s defense and Israel were given a free hand to defend its interests in the Middle East as it saw fit, like once again bombing political enemy nuclear capabilities, we would have the golden opportunity to get out of that region. It’s been nothing more than a headache to
us ever since we first started meddling around over there and on at least one occasion it’s been downright dangerous, threatening to get us into a nuclear war.

Or, you can keep believing what the string pullers and profiteers want you to believe.

Ignorance is No Excuse – Neither is Subversion

It is difficult to imagine a situation where accurately firing from 1,000 yards would be necessary to defend oneself … We need not conclude that the right to train with firearms is a necessarily protected right under the Second Amendment. [More]

Of course it is, you lying morons.

Leave it to “common sense gun safety” prohibitionists to not want you trained. More likely they just don’t want you to have rifles that can reach out and touch someone…

Fudds take note.

So, no one told this federal court about the Civilian Marksmanship Program, created by federal law, and its Highpower Rifle Competition Rules and Table 7?

Just like the Miller court “[could not] take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore [could not] say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon”…

The Second Amendment doesn’t have the limits these Sixth Circuit apparatchiks (one appointed by Obama and two by the “Vote Freeedom First President“) presume. And thus they help to advance the likelihood of the very situation they find so difficult to imagine.

The damned fools…

Insufficient Gun Owner Involvement in Unsuccessful Herrera Race Will Not Go Unnoticed

If this doesn’t change, correction, if we don’t change that, gun owners will be telling two supposedly opposite groups they can get away with more betrayals and infringements. [More]

Establishment Republicans and Prohibitionist Democrats just got a pretty good snapshot of gun owner willingness to walk the talk.

Securing the Curses of Tyranny, One Intolerable Act at a Time

I see a Streisand Effect in their futures.

Seems another Democrat had something to say about that once…

Berman, Gipson, and Weber, eh?

I remember that Gipson racist idiot tyrant . I see Pinhead Berman and Gunquack Weber also want men with guns to take away yours.

Hey, if you can ignore the Second Amendment, why would you worry about the First?

Let ’em pass it. Then let ’em try to extradite me.

Our Friends Across the Aisle

But the J6ers were insurrectionists?

What do you think, Rodney?

Responding in Kind

Thursday, 5/23/24 Connecticut Citizens Defense League filed a Response Brief in the Grant v. Lamont case. This brief is asking the court to reconsider our preliminary injunction that was denied by Judge Arterton prior to her retirement. If successful, injunctive relief could halt the CT Assault Weapons Ban while the case is in court. The Connecticut Assault Weapons Ban is an unjust restriction of our 2A rights under the scrutiny of the Bruen decision, we will keep on fighting until we reclaim what is ours. [More]

In the meantime, don’t stop doing what it takes…

As The Wheels Grind Slowly Forward

Hunter Biden loses last-minute appeal to dismiss gun charges [More]

Any doubts if this were you or me we’d already have our place in genpop?

Meanwhile, DOJ tells me they’ve found some documents, although why they just can’t cite where they presume to get their authority from is beyond me, so I smell more go-through-the-motions stalling.

And I just had an idea. I want to run it by my advisors first.

A Ploy Named Sue

Uvalde families sue makers of AR-15, ‘Call of Duty,’ Meta over mass shooting [More]

I see they don’t like the First Amendment any more than they do the Second.

Why someone is attacking me becomes irrelevant when the immediate object is to stop him. Their grief does not legitimize their demand to send lethal force equipped enforcers after me to take my property and abridge my rights.

It’s a shame to see them exploited as useful idiot pawns by the cultural Marxists.

Common Cause

Let me also respond to your “in common use” argument. There is no “in common use” tradition. [More]

I agree:

The Second Amendment does not say “the right of the people to keep and bear arms in common use at the time shall not be infringed.” If it had, the Anti-Federalists would have told the Framers to go to hell.

Then there’s this:

Dangerous and Unusual? It’s a lie and does not exist. [More]

And again…

Interesting reading that also links to “The Historical Tradition and Analogue Lie in Bruen“…

As for this charge, I’d need to see links, specifics and context. What citizen disarmament edicts has Mark W. Smith endorsed? My biggest disgreement with him — and other prominent 2A attorneys — so far has been when they say stuff like ATF doesn’t have the authority but Congress does. Huge deferring to stare decisis vs. “shall not be infringed” hole, that one, but even there that doesn’t mean he’d be for a ban, and for the most part I think he’s been among the best, especially with his insights into SCOTUS.

Military Cemetery Gun Bans an Affront to Patriots Who Died Fighting for Freedom

There is no valid reason the government can give that should supersede the rights of deceased veterans’ survivors, certainly nothing that would comply with the Bruen standard of history, text, and tradition at the time the Constitution was ratified. [More]

Kinda puts the lie to those Lee Greenwood lyrics…

Democrats Continue to Place Criminals Above Citizens, Exploiting That to Ban Guns

They rely on violent crime so that they have blood to dance in, to whip up mob furor among constituents ignorant and stupid enough to vote for them. [More]

Why punish their constituents when they can punish you?

A Right Delayed

California already has a law currently being challenged as unconstitutional based on a 10 day waiting period. A new law that just too effect Jan 1 2024 authorizes California to extend that 10 days up to another 30 for transfers. [Watch]

The bastards don’t even pretend to give “shall not be infringed” any notice.

And if someone gets killed while waiting…?

Missing in Action

SCOTUS urged to hear Mexico’s lawsuit blaming US gun makers for cartel violence – GOP AGs say ‘anti-gun activists’ trying to blame US gun manufacturers for Mexico’s bad policy choices [More]

Once more I see my guy, Dave Yost, AWOL…

And once more I’ll ask him why.
