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.

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

We’re the Only Ones Listing Enough

Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s director of federal affairs, told POLITICO the group “is closely tracking the FISA loophole allowing federal law enforcement to buy lists of gun owners and concealed carry permit holders without a warrant or regard for the Second and Fourth Amendments.” [More]

The oath-breakers are bound and determined to build that confiscation database.

A Right Delayed

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discuses the three pieces of huge news where three separate petitions to the United States Supreme Court have been filed asking for review of Illinois’ assault weapon and magazine bans. This, added to the other petition filed last week in the matter of Bianchi v. Brown, means that there is now four separate peititions before SCOTUS to settle this once and for all. [Watch]

You can’t put it off any longer, SCOTUS.

Make your decision.

Some of us have already made ours.

Trump/NRA Mutual Love Fest: Long on Promises, Short on Memory

The former president and — legal challenges aside — presumed GOP contender for the office in November, knew just which buttons to push to stoke the boundless enthusiasm of the thousands of supporters. [More]

This is what we’ve got to work with. And work we must.

Coming Soon, to a Soft Target Near You

So I just finished Kurt Schlichter’s new novel, The Attack. It’s a fictionalized account of an October 7 style attack that takes place on a large scale in the United States. It’s also a warning. [More]

I guess some suburbs, but I’m thinking bang for the buck means high population areas without a lot of armed “right wingers.”

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.”

A Word of Caution

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal challenge of the Illinois ban on modern semi-auto firearms and “large-capacity magazines” have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking certiorari in the case of Harrel v. Raoul. [More]

Be careful that you don’t turn “common use” into a precedential limitation.

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

US Department of Justice filed main brief in US Supreme Court today asking the Court to hear the Vanderstock v. Garland case dealing with the constitutionality of the Biden “ghost gun” frame and receiver rules. [More]

Mark W. Smith thinks there’s a good chance they’ll hear it.

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…?

They’re Makin’ a List and Checkin’ It Twice…

Gun rights group urges senators to press Yellen over Treasury targeting gun transactions – Gun Owners of America alleges the Treasury Department is abusing gun owners’ privacy by monitoring firearms transactions [More]

By hook or by crook, they mean to amass a confiscation list.

An Authority Unto Themselves

F—in’ traitors. How is this not judicial insurrection?

In other words, they agree with Democrats and all the “commonsense gun safety law” groups.

Are there still any doubters?

Who aren’t morons or just lying about it…

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.

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.
