Welcome to the Party, Pal

Rep Tom Tiffany said, ‘I’ll preserve our Wisconsin values, just like my mom does with her pickles’ [More]

NRA says he’ll preserve more than that:

Let’s hope so. Because retiring Tony Evers was a disaster, as will be whomever the Democrats choose.

If fellow Republican contestant Josh Schoemann has any “proven reforms” on 2A, he doesn’t appear to feel they’re worth mentioning.

Another GOP contender, former Navy SEAL Bill Barrien says he’ll support permitless carry. I do wish though, that he and other gun owners would do away with the “Second Amendment is my permit” meme.

It’s not, never was, and the contention itself is dangerous.

To Each According to His Needs?

COURTROOM AUDIO LIVE: AR & Mag Ban Arguments Reveal How Nefarious These Blue States Actually Are… [Watch]

You don’t need full auto because the government has it? We’re limited to “self-defense”? And only indoors? Anybody see the word “useful” in the Second Amendment…?

Are “average” <3-round limits next?

Everybody’s picking up that it’s “common usage” arguments they’re arguing to impose limits, right?

What Part of ‘Arms’ Don’t They Understand?

DOJ Tells Court NJ’s AR-15 and Magazine Bans Violates Second Amendment [More]

As much as I point out administration failings, and I do because we have to know how to steer them to do better, I also have to applaud when they do good, and acknowledge no other president and DOJ in my lifetime have even come close to defending 2A like this.

That said, I fear “common use” can turn into a trap so I’m glad to see they also didn’t ignore the Militia aspect in their brief.

The Man in the Arena

Congressman Massie Introduces Bill to Repeal Federal Gun-Free School Zones Act [More]

Sixth time since 2015’s a charm?

Unfortunately, out of all those “pro-gun” Republicans there are only 13 co-sponsors and the prognosis says there’s a “1% chance of being enacted.”

Funny, how our best-Second-Amendment-president-ever’s primary concern is getting rid of Massie...

Even funnier that the NRA tried to torpedo him.

We’re the Only Ones Retentive Enough

“We are hearing rumblings already that some allegedly pro-gun Republicans are already cooking up ideas to roll back the impact of the ruling,” he said. “We’re hearing things like what kind of retention-level holster the sheriffs will demand people use. If anything like that comes out, the Florida Sheriffs Association is behind it and we will fight it.” [More]

They probably want to make them easier for their DEI hires to remove.

Hey, backi the khaki, right?

UPDATE

Good question:

Never Say Never

1 In 9 Americans Still Believe Political Violence Is Sometimes Justified [More]

Really? What the hell kind of sanctimonious virtue signaling is this? Zero Hedge thinks a violence monopoly is preferable?

Maybe if we could beef those numbers up it would discourage more of it happening. As I wrote 25 years ago in my GUNS and AMMO piece “You Say You Want a Revolution”:

But that’s ok. As long as such uncertainty exists, the Second Amendment is doing its job. As long as government fears an armed populace, and based on all the idiot laws they’re trying to pass, they sure must, a powerful check on tyranny remains in place. After all, it is an evident truth that the strength of our nation can be measured by its freedom, and the Second Amendment is the key bellwether for this freedom. We can see in its erosion the breakdown of trust between government and the governed, and the attendant instability and conflict that is inevitable when this happens.

The seemingly paradoxical truth is, if you want to create a stable, peaceful and free society, where a Chechnya-style conflict becomes the unlikeliest of possibilities, you must guarantee that the whole people can arm themselves to the teeth. For only by making the cost of infringing our rights too high can we make those who would abridge them afraid to act. Just as, at the individual level, a criminal avoids a potential victim who may be armed, so too does this work on a societal scale.

The Price of Liberty

The Actual Charlie Kirk 2nd Amendment Quote Lefties Lie About [More]

Of course it’s been taken out of context so that collectivist sadists can gloat.

The truth won’t change their diseased minds, but sharing it with those who may honestly just not know any better could help limit the damage and wake some people up.

No Question About It

The effort calls into question whether or not Massachusetts’ firearm regulations for out-of-state visitors are unconstitutional. [More]

Let’s see what the Supreme Court already had to say about that:

It would give to persons of the negro race, …the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, …to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased …the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.

And everybody noticed they didn’t say a word about “permits.”

Funny, how even back then “give” was a thing…

Unclear on the Concept

Assistant A.G.: Everyone Working on Behalf of U.S. to Improve It ‘Has a Target on Their Back’, I’ve Urged Them to Carry [More]

As the “pro-Second Amendment” administration’s top civil rights lawyer, I’m wondering how she justifies requiring government permission — with the power to say “No”– for a non-incarcerated citizen to exercise a fundamental right.

‘Likely’?

FPC LEGAL ALERT: The Third Circuit has ruled that New Jersey’s bans on carrying in private vehicles and on private property by default, along with the state’s liability insurance requirement for carry permits and $50 carry permit fee for “the Victims of Crime Compensation Office account” likely violate the Second Amendment [More]

What was their first clue…?

Taking the 5th

Boston firefighter faces over 40 charges after failing to turn over firearms following a restraining order [More]

Of interest from the video:

He initially lied about having weapons, but his defense attorney explains those firearms weren’t registered. He hadn’t done them on time.

So if he’d complied with the order and produced the guns, that would have been self-incriminating.

Didn’t the Supreme Court already weigh in on that?

Anybody know who is his attorney is, and if he knows about this?

Ah, here we go.

All we can do is offer:
