GOP presidential candidate calls for stronger gun background checks
Former GOP Rep. Will Hurd said fellow Republicans are worried about the political ramifications if they support gun control measures [More]
I guess “former” and “political ramifications” don’t register with this dolt. He didn’t qualify for the debate so he’s gotta get attention somehow.
Figures he had an “A”-rating from NRA.

Supporters of the National Socialist Movement, a white nationalist political group, give Nazi salutes while taking part in a swastika burning at an undisclosed location in Georgia… [More]
If they’re such a threat to where the entire federal “law” imposement apparatus is out there conflating “white supremacists” with “conservatives,” gun owners, Christians, Republicans and especially Constitutionalists, why don’t they have more recent photos that 2018 of under a dozen people…?
Besides, “socialists” are creatures of the left, as are racists, which if you think about it for a second, is collectivism.
As were the OG Nazis, no matter how much lying “progressives” and their commie partners want to disavow.
What could be the motive of those in power for smearing citizens who believe in freedom for all and who know the right to keep and bear arms is the greatest power sharing arrangement ever devised, as monsters to be destroyed?
The complaint was filed by attorney Stephen D. Stamboulieh on behalf of this correspondent to compel the Department to produce information regarding “consent to a permanent entry in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).” [More]
Expanding the rules without lawfully delegated authority and based just on their own say-so seems to be the way with these autocratic functionaries.
Thank you @GovTimWalz for making Minnesota a safer place to live due to new gun sense laws including ERPO and background checks on all gun purchases. It was an honor to present you with the @Everytown Lawmaker of the Year Award. You kept your promise. @MomsDemand #mnleg [More]
I don’t suppose NRA would be willing to release answers to the questionnaire this lying piece of steaming political excrement returned to get their endorsement…?
Let’s see if this is allowed to stay up— and if it is, what kind of indignant rage it will yield…
The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives redefining frames and receivers as firearms, have filed an appellee’s brief in the case, known as VanDerStok v. Garland. [More]
There’s a word for a government that can just assign itself new powers when it feels like it.
Always take people at their word when they say what they want to disarm you. They want to kill you. They want to do bad things to you. So when you see before the United States Supreme Court in the United States v Rahimi case, statements that say we have no right to keep in bear arms, we have no right to possess firearms, we have no right to carry firearms, we have no right to use firearms to protect ourselves, you must take these words at face value. You must take them as truth that this is what the other side truly believes. We don’t have a right to self-defense we don’t have a right to guns. We have to be disarmed. Take them at their word. [Watch]
Conversely, don’t believe a word they say when they claim no one is talking about taking your guns.

…the reality is they’re all basically for more gun control what’s interesting is some of the briefs are actually embracing laws at the time of our founding that had racist and odious and bigoted foundations upon which they rest, and nevertheless some of the anti-gunners are embracing these… [Watch]
Disingenuously tryin g to separate the racist motivations from the act of disarmament simply means they want us all to be slaves.
[Via 1Gat]
They hate you. And they want you disarmed. [More]
These cultists give us some of the best reasons I can think of never to disarm.
This new initiative is called “Capture the Flag,” and it will focus on abuses and mis-application of “Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)” statutes which have been adopted by 21 states and the District of Columbia. [More]
Their very existence is an abuse.
And there’s only one solution that nobody appears incentivized to implement.
“No information has come out about it. We don’t know what it’s going to entail, how we’re going to do background checks. Are we going to be doing phone checks with them? Are we going to do an online portal. They’re not giving us any information.” [More]
For some reason a line from Airplane comes to mind.
Just think of the opportunities for compliance violations… and shutting down sales altogether!
Then just think of other opportunities.

People shouldn’t lose their National constitutional rights whenever they venture into other states. If you have a … a First Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state. If you have a Second Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state because these are these are rights that are enshrined in our national Bill of Rights… and there wasn’t a whole lot of discussion about it but there is brief mention of the Full Faith and Credit Clause. I always thought that that would be a very very good argument going forward for … every state. If you got a license or permit issued by your state, I mean, what is holding these other states back from recognizing these licenses…? [Watch]
What are these “licenses” and “permits” so many ostensibly on “our side” are so ready to legitimize as a good thing?
We’re past that stage. What were once viewed by some as incremental building blocks have turned into undeniable stumbling blocks.
The very term “reciprocity” is unconstitutional, offensive and absurd in the context of rights.

“We’re patrolling the neighborhood. But we have guns because the Second Amendment says that if you have a license, you are allowed to carry one,” he said. [More]
That’s not what it says at all.
While it’s encouraging to see this, you can’t very well claim rights if you don’t understand them.
Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing the racist implications of Connecticut’s asinine “duty to retreat” exposed.

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s “sensitive places” statute have filed a response brief to the state’s appeal. The case is now known as Koons v. Platkin. [More]
So “rights-free zones” weren’t part of the compact?
Gonzales showed what kind of Republican he was back in 2005 when he told the Senate he wanted them to remove Patriot Act restrictions and that he supported Congress extending the expired “assault weapon” ban, pointing out that his brother was a Houston SWAT officer… [More]
It must be a “good” boot to the face if it has an “R” on it. Right…?
The lawsuit, brought Tuesday by the nonprofit group Everytown for Gun Safety and exclusively obtained by NBC News, names multiple defendants, including YouTube and Reddit, online spaces where the shooter was allegedly radicalized… [More]
If trying to radicalize is the crime, where do I go to plead guilty?
Figures, the “legal authority” they consulted is the “distinguished” Robert Spitzer, who never saw a gun he didn’t want to grab.
Figures he’d also eviscerate the First Amendment…
I’d like to see the defendants countersue the useful idiot plaintiffs as individuals.

“Only following orders” — this is why the authoritarians are so determined to smear and destroy the concept of Oath Keepers and Three Percenters.
Been a while since I’ve seen these clips. The thought strikes: Whatever became of excuse-making JBTs-by-their-actions Fred Bible and Chris Montgomery?
The thought also strikes in all this time I’ve never seen one “commonsense gun safety advocate” condemn this tyranny.
“Few bad apples” my … eye. Every damn one of them. And remember, all good “conservatives” say “Back the Blue!”
