Narrowing the Field

“…the Department of Justice used none of these racist laws they gave up all of these racist laws … because as you know because the burden is on the government to come forth with historical laws at the time of the founding… that we can basically kick out and get rid of as not being applicable reduces the number historical gun control laws that the anti-gunners can use to justify modern gun control regulations… [Watch]

That they don’t dare use racist precedent is powerful information to exploit, legally and ideologically.

One other point I don’t see anyone addressing — just because a law existed at the time of the Founding doesn’t mean it would have been upheld as constitutional if it had been challenged at the time on Second Amendment grounds.

Advance to the Rear!

The BSCA was passed last summer over the NRA’s objections, with proponents congratulating themselves on their “bi-partisan” achievement. [More]

So how many “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” are you goin g to down-rate?

And posturing now only obscures the fact that when the asteroid was still in nudging distance, you weasels were giving cover to your pet Quislings with a spineless “framework” excuse.

The Lairds of Fairfax…

You Won’t Be Needing That First Amendment, Either

Under the Firearm Industry Responsibility Act (HB 218), gun manufacturers that engage in unsafe and unlawful marketing and sale will be held accountable for actions contributing to gun violence in Illinois communities. [More]

These alien freaks literally consider themselves the Keepers.

Next step: We force you to issue warnings.

And the effects on national publications will be nationwide, and not just the advertisements.

So: When does the “firearms industry” cut them off from sales and service?

‘Wherever They Went’

Especially in light of SCOTUS in Dred Scott:

“It would give to persons … who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

It doesn’t “give” anything, but the rest is what the understanding was.

So much for “permits” or any level of government having “reciprocity” approval authority. So much for “sensitive areas.”

We Haven’t Committed Genocide… Yet

“The National Shooting Sports Foundation challenges a new state gun law as violating its members’ constitutional rights. But we see little evidence that enforcement is looming,” wrote Judge Stephanos Bibas, a former President Trump appointee. [More]

I rest my case. Even if “Bubba” says it’s stupid because he made a kneejerk assumption and missed the point.

Offensive Holding

2A TOUCHDOWN: COULD NFL PLAYER USE 2ND AMENDMENT TO DESTROY MASSACHUSETTS GUN LAWS AND MORE? [Watch]

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for anyone so cavalier about the practice that they forget they have a gun, but the only malicious, predatory intent meriting resistance I see here is coming from the tyrants.

I do think it’s funny to see the NFL trying to tiptoe the line between its anti-gun virtue signaling and being afraid to agitate the “institutional racism” fanatics.

Trump’s Georgia Prosecutor is a Typical Leftist Gun Grabber

“I think we have to have some serious conversations about something that’s not popular. Everybody doesn’t need a gun.” [More]

Why would an arrogant official who thinks citizens don’t “need” a gun think they need any other rights?

The Best of Both Worlds

Colorado governor seeks reversal of federal judge’s decision to block new law banning gun sales to anyone under 21 – Lawyers for Jared Polis last week asked Chief U.S. District Judge Philip Brimmer to postpone his preliminary injunction against the law until the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decides an appeal to the ruling [More]

I wonder if they’d feel mercy was due the other side if the situation were reversed…

Open Lawfare

The lawsuit, brought Tuesday by the nonprofit 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, as well as the retailer that sold the shooter’s gun and the manufacturer of his body armor. The suit, which also names the shooter’s parents, was filed in New York Supreme Court. [More]

Leaving no right left unturned… and I wouldn’t exactly call that a Fragrance…

It’s not too much of a leap to anticipate the day when all of us can be sued and even criminally prosecuted for expressing pro-RKBA sentiments, just like those who express election doubt sentiments…

I found a suitable theme song for them.

A Considered Opinion

“We remind the court that the Second Amendment refers to a right ‘of the people’ without mentioning age, and certainly young adults fall within the definition of ‘the people’ ever since they’ve been allowed to vote, and generations before that when they were considered part of the militia, and have been accepted into the military.” [More]

They’re not just “considered.” They’re recognized by law.

Soldier of Distortion

Doug McGaw is a military veteran of Vietnam with a Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Combat Infantry Badge. [More]

Including that bio snip to presume he knows what he’s talking about on the right to keep and bear arms is what psychologists call “false authority” or “expert fallacy.“

And the danger to liberty of blindly following “war heroes” should be self evident.

There’s a Storm Coming

Biden preps rollout of expanded background checks as part of major gun safety push into 2024 [More]

They perceive “gun control” is now a winning issue and are doing a major and massively-funded push to stir up the useful idiots to demand more infringements. And they’re branching out to Everytown, including yours.

They don’t care if things get tied up in post-Bruen court challenges — they have the tax plunder resources to sustain the long run, and they’re counting on using every trick in the book — from the superhighway to citizenship to prosecuting Trump, to more outright election steals to get the majority needed to populate SCOTUS with apparatchiks like in Illinois.

Don’t look for any but a handful of Republicans to go on offense.

Ultimately, it’s going to boil down to a percentage of the populace reviled by Democrats and their DSM water carriers saying “No.”

They’re going to force it on us. On you.

Oakland PD Airhorn Advice is an Admission of Gun Control Failure

Oakland officials not only don’t have a plan to fix anything but what they’re doing can only make things worse. [More]

What we have here are useful idiots who don’t have a clue being manipulated by power interests who know exactly what they’re doing.

Something in Common

Just as they chose handguns in Heller, the American people in large numbers have chosen to arm themselves for their protection with ammunition feeding devices capable of holding more than ten rounds. Because the arms at issue are “in common use” and typically possessed by law abiding citizens for lawful purposes, Washington’s ban violates the Second Amendment. [More]

The common use the Founders were interested in is by the military. That’s why they said “arms.”
