With ‘Republicans’ Like These…

Texas will fight to block 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying handguns [More]

Well, you can buy the Ted Olson excuse, that regardless of how he feels, the AG is charged with defending existing state laws, or you can just as easily conclude that “Tea Party conservative” Paxton has reasons of his own to douse the fire in gun owners’ bellies before November to help turn the state blue.

We’re the Only Ones Culturally Revolutionary Enough

China has opened dozens of “overseas police service stations” around the globe to monitor its citizens living abroad, including one location in New York City… [More]

The thought strikes — with diplomatic immunity — Chicom agents couldn’t be prosecuted for being armed where “We the People” are not “allowed” to be.

No Worries

Americans oppose President Joe Biden’s lawless and wage-cutting mass migration because they are racist, not because of their economic worries, according to former President Barack Obama. [More]

And true to form, he embeds a lie within a lie so that he and his cabal aren’t the ones worrying.

The real agenda encompasses a hell of a lot more than pocketbook “worries.”

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have it on good authority there’s no need to worry.

VanDerStok v. Garland Challenge to ATF’s ‘Frame or Receiver’ Rule Update

Because the parties contest the utility of a completed classification request, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion and CLARIFIES that the current injunction precludes Defendants from concluding its classification determination with respect to Tactical’s product. [More]

My legally unqualified two cents: This is a hopeful development and it has the potential, in the end, to stop a lot of the Constitutionally-unauthorized tyrannical rule nonsense in its tracks, but it only applies to this limited case and there’s still a long way to go.

GOA and GOF Legal Updates

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a preliminary injunction yesterday against a Winchester, VA ordinance that prohibits the possession, carry, or transportation of firearms at public parks and in public areas where approved demonstrations are occurring. [More]

You take a look at the history of the place and you’ve just gotta shake your head at what those who live there now have done to it.

UPDATE

Also in this post:

Philadelphia, PA – Yesterday, lame-duck Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order prohibiting individuals from lawful carry at all City of Philadelphia recreational facilities. The mayor’s actions are in clear violation of Pennsylvania law prohibiting these types of local gun restrictions. Within hours of Mayor Kenney’s signing ceremony, Gun Owners of America (GOA) filed a lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of this illegal gun regulation.

Your Tax Dollars at Work

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which recently said that questioning official narratives on matters like coronavirus policies constitutes a terrorist threat, has awarded nearly $700,000 to left-wing researchers to study radicalization in video games, with a focus on “white supremacy.” [More]

Seems kind of like a bullet fee, doesn’t it?

Speaking of Disturbingly Persistent Ideas…

“Elegant and important essay by @RepRaskin debunking the disturbingly persistent idea that the 2nd Am gives citizens the right to take up arms against the government.” [More]

For being an “LATimes Legal Affairs Columnist. Former US Attorney, DOJ official. Teach con law at UCSD& UCLA” you’d think this f***ing idiot would know the Second Amendment doesn’t “give” any rights.

As for Marxist weasel Raskin, the rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from the corrupt tree.

It’s funny that the Democratic Underground uses a web archive link to avoid the NYT paywall. It’s dangerous that no one there understands the basics of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

Hunting Council Masks Hostility to Founding Intent with Gun Banner’s Appointment

“Busse was listed as ‘unaffiliated,’ but that is not true… He is an advisor for the Giffords gun control group and has openly advocated the ban on the most popular selling centerfire rifle in America…” [More]

Yeah, put the fox in charge of the henhouse. What could go wrong?
