Where Credit is Due

The Supreme Court Should Not Let Bureaucrats Invent Crimes by Rewriting the Law – The Trump administration’s unilateral ban on bump stocks turned owners of those rifle accessories into felons. [More]

Let’s not forget the role Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox played in paving the way (and good luck finding their joint statement on the NRA website anymore).

Pointing all that out and more seems to make some people uncomfortable. One angry reader canceled his subscription over it.

You know the type.

Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Wynn A:

The sentiment of gun owners seems to be if it isn’t ‘registered’ the powers that be don’t know about it. Fools errand. As witnessed with Katrina the goons will go door to door and forcibly search all buildings. The citizens of New Orleans went along with this outlandish conduct. Will today’s Americans do the same?

By the time they’re at your door, it’s too late.

Depending on the area, I have a feeling that if this starts in any significant numbers, many confiscators will end up more concerned about what’s coming to their door.

None Dare Call It Treason

Thompson, Goldman, Castro Introduce Bill to Disarm Cartels by Stopping Trafficking of American Guns Across Southern Border [More]

So they want to disarm Americans while cartels through their puppets continue to amass military-grade weapons and military-age men pour over the border Democrats want open for their superhighway to citizenship…

Still want to pretend it’s not germane to the “single issue,” “gun rights leaders”?

Thompson, Goldman, and Castro are counting on it.

But No One’s Talking About Taking Your Guns

More to the point, what is the mental state of some ignorant Marxist hoplophobe who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment and thinks Americans who do will allow themselves to be disarmed?

A Ten O’Clock Scholar

I studied American history for the past four years of college. Maybe you should do your homework. [More]

Or maybe he should release his transcript to show what he took, from whom, and how he did.

He reminds me of the comic relief character Howie from The Fall Guy, “who has gone to practically every college and studied every course for a semester.”

Jam Session

How a Second Amendment case at the Supreme Court is putting gun rights groups in a jam [More]

That’s one way to spin getting your usurping @$$ handed to you…

“If someone is dangerous enough that society can’t trust them with a gun, they should be behind bars − it’s that simple,” Pratt said.

Bingo.

Sounds of Silence

This New Bill Would Shorten the Suppressor Waiting Period to 90 Days [More]

Oh, look: Master is going to loosen his whip hand.

I’ve got some Chore Boys that’ll shorten it a lot more than that.

It figures the same Fudd community that throws EBR owners under the bus would be all for enforcing and enhancing this Intolerable Act. Here’s the thing: I don’t hunt. To force me to pay prior restraint extortion before I can buy a gun or ammo is no different than a poll tax.

So how else would “we” pay for it?

How about how else would those engaging in those activities pay for it?

That’s where the “laboratory” of different states trying different things would show what works best– on lands outside the District that are not “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings.”

A New York State of Mind

New York man who saved woman from subway mugging by scaring off would-be robber with warning shot arrested [More]

The only question here is who’s the more execrable tyrant functionary: Richard “We don’t tolerate this kind of conduct in NYC Transit, period” Davies or Jerry “The defendant was on the street with a loaded, unlicensed gun“ Iannece?

The state can’t protect you and will punish you for protecting yourself or others.

Who would consent to be governed by that?

Massie Vehicle Kill Switch Amendment Foreshadows Greater Danger to Guns

…this technology could be used by the police as “an `electronic master key’ to `disable’ any `smart guns’ in the house,” and be used as a pretext to “ban the manufacture of any gun that ISN’T a `smart gun’.” [More]

Who would be against giving police the power to protect us from armed extremists?

Where Do Republican Presidential Candidates Stand on the Second Amendment?

For now, let’s take a look at the likely contenders and see what they’ve said about the right to keep and bear arms, and more importantly, what they’ve done… [More]

Just in time for tonight’s debate where we’ll see if the subject even comes up…
