Appeals Court Rules California Can Continue Doxing Gun Owners to Agenda ‘Researchers’

That “misuse” can be deliberate by activists gone wild or due to lax/incompetent security protocols. And it’s not like sensitive and supposedly secure government systems at the highest levels can’t be breached and hacked by anyone, from cyber criminals to foreign enemies. It’s not like names, addresses, and lists don’t have real-world street value, and it would be just like the prohibitionists to have their efforts actually increase violence and its incentives.

Why do you need privacy if you’re not doing anything wrong?

Judicial System Reeks with Democrat Political Bias Against Guns and More

They’re not only conflicted but hiding it. You don’t get more in-your-face corrupt than that. But don’t look for the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board to care. [More]

What good is having your day in court when the judge is in bed with the offending politicians?

The Astroturfers are Sweating, But Not Over Finances

The aftermath of Bruen has also prompted a surge in lawsuits challenging various gun laws, according to Giffords, a gun control group, with more than 450 decisions trying to interpret the case. [More]

What a stacked deck. Because it’s not Giffords, which rakes in millions, that’s defending against infringment challenges. It’s various levels of government, with virtually unlimited tax plunder-funded legal war chests.

Meanwhile, the gun groups fighting on our behalf are begging for minimal contributions from already overextended members and supporters. Just don’t let the apparent success momentum of these efforts capitalizing on Bruen suggest it’s OK to ease up.

I may just write up a more detailed elaboration on this.

Night of the Evil Butterball

The greasy-lipped masters have to be laughing like hell as they reach across their table of plunder and rip off another drumstick… [More]

That links to my traditional Thanksgiving essay, first posted in 2000. This year, WarOnGuns Correspondent Michael G provides an addendum:

LA Times Op-Ed: This Thanksgiving, Honor Turkeys By Not Eating Them [More]

While others bent on destroying our culture and imposing their rule do their utmost to contaminate everything with their filth and make the feast of freedom unpalatable.

And, of course, Moms Demand You be Miserable.

Their word “frustrated” tells you all you need to know.

Fortunately, no one in my family is a loud, obnoxious, divisive, and most of all oblivious useful idiot. I have a feeling those who don’t have a castrated milquetoast to henpeck will be enduring their eating disorders while seething with their cats.

Let them all seethe in impotent rage.

As for my brothers and sisters in freedom, may you have as much to be thankful for as I do. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Now go enjoy the day.

UPDATE

This is the way I “honored” my turkey. And none of us were miserable because my family and circle of friends are mercifully free of crazy commie nonsense bellyachers.

The Second Shot Heard Round the World

When the Modern Gun Control Movement Started [More]

Dan Gifford resurrects a 2019 piece that recalls how recent history has led to where we are today.

I remember where I was when Kennedy was killed.

We were living in Tehran. Dad ran the brand-new B.F. Goodrich tire factory and we were getting ready to go to school when his British friend called to tell him the president had been shot and killed in Delaware. I didn’t learn “Dallas” until we got to school and newspapers were taped up on the compound wall by the entrance gate.

I was 11. It was the first time I’d considered that history was something we don’t just read about, but live through, and even make.

Kennedy, by the way, was an old-school Democrat who understood the purpose of the Second Amendment:

By CALLING ATTENTION to ‘a well regulated militia,’ the ‘security’ of the nation, and the right of each citizen ‘to keep and bear arms,’ our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important.

And he was an NRA Life Member killed by an ACLU member.

Daily Defense

I gotta get a new picture– I haven’t worn glasses since I got my eyes done, what, four or five years ago now…?

Bleaters, Traitors, Oath-Breakers, and Tools for Tyranny

The bills prohibit anyone convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense from owning a firearm or ammunition for 8 years following the payment of all related fines and completion of incarceration or probation conditions. [More]

But we can otherwise trust him without a custodian because we all know prohibited persons won’t be able to get guns, right?

The other oft-overlooked point: Exaggerated or outright false vengeance charges can be made and people who are overwhelmed can be pressured into a misdemeanor plea to get the threat of more and more severe charges off their backs — especially if they’re of limited means and don’t understand their rights and where they can go for help.

If the GOP doesn’t blow ’24 and the court stays the same, expect SCOTUS to rule IAW Bruen. How much injustice will be done in the meantime, and how many won’t be able to afford to challenge the unlimited tax plunder resources of the state?

No one criticizes the DSM more than I do, but that is simply not so.

Then there’s this:

Laws, if enforced, would have prevented him from owning the firearm he used to shoot women and girls.

No, they would not have. They couldn’t have unless, like the gun-grabbers, your contention is that citizen disarmament edicts work to stop chronic criminals.

They don’t.

Only one thing could.

Credible gun influencers have a responsibility to know better than to parrot the NRA’s/NSSF’s “Enforce existing Intolerable Acts” crap.

The Sentence First, Verdict Afterwards Act

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Protect Domestic Abuse Survivors From Gun Violence [More]

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Deny Constitutional Rights to the Accused — there, I fixed it for them.

No prognosis yet on GovTrack, but with a Republican House consider this political posturing by the usual gang of rights prohibitionists in anticipation of SCOTUS enraging them in Rahimi.

Assuming the GOP doesn’t blow ’24.
