Sometimes referred to as “policing for profit,” civil asset forfeiture has become big business, generating significant revenue for the state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies across the country. [More]
I wonder what men who considered a tea tax intolerable and cause for rebellion would have made of all this…

‘The police come here to hunt’: Brazilian cops kill at 9 times the rate of U.S. law enforcement [More]
What does that really mean, who are they killing, and what kind of circumstances are we talking about here? And how does that compare with the “good old days”?
Seems kind of self-defeating that Brazilians are poised to oust the guy who wants them armed and bring in a corrupt Marxist who demands disarming them and bringing back an “Only Ones”-enforced monopoly of violence.
It figures the DSM would put out a timely hit piece to help make that happen, with The Los Angeles Times leading the pack.

I had an understanding that there was a requirement that the law needed to be written so that an ordinary citizen could understand it. How else can you require an ordinary citizen to comply with a law? [More]
Who says the rulers want us to?
And as for the “requirements,” they’re going to have an awfully tough time when reading comprehension has been deliberately degraded in the public schools.

All the Supreme Court has to do to let tyranny stand is…nothing.
I’m wondering if anyone will revisit this in light of Bruen, but then again, the court has pretty much told us they’re not going to touch it.
Some of us will keep fighting in other ways.

“MAYBE what it will do is get some Member(s) of Congress to request GAO to do a forensic audit of the NFRTR to determine its accuracy and reliability,” another one of my “small cadre” advisors chimed in, pointing out the elephant in the room that “amnesty” proponents don’t much want to talk about. [More]
They have no authority to do it, they have no capability to do it, and on top of that, it’s a trap. Sounds like SOP for ATF.

If Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D) face off in a possible 2024 U.S. Senate contest, 41 percent of Virginians would support Kaine, while 39 percent could support Youngkin, according to this year’s survey. [More]
“More… we need more!” says Mark Warner.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is issuing this open letter to further assist the firearms industry and the public in understanding whether a “partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional” receiver of an AR-15/M-16 variant weapon has reached a stage of manufacture such that it “may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted” to a functional receiver, and is therefore classified as a “frame or receiver” or “firearm” in accordance with the final rule titled “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms (Final Rule 2021R-05F), which became effective August 24, 2022.

At least until they change the rules again.

Ah, the original Bloomberg City! The one he and his fellow violence monopolists are bent on remaking the rest of the country in the image of…

CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE AND SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUE CT OVER BAN ON MODERN SPORTING ARMS [More]
I dunno– “in Common Use for Lawful Purposes Throughout the United States” seems to exclude everything that’s not, including what will be developed in the future.
The Supreme Court, in its infamous Miller decision, nonetheless recognized the function of the Militia, defined as “all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time,” was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. These citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The Militia did not assemble on the green bearing clubs and spears. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. A modern Militia would require citizens to keep and bear exactly what the gun-grabbing politicians are trying to take away from them, what they pejoratively denounce as “weapons of war.”
Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’
Barnes once said he “really could not care less about a 2nd Amendment ‘right’” to bear arms. [More]
This just proves what a damned idiot and a tool he is, and how willfully ignorant his supporters must be.
What the “our democracy” string-pullers don’t seem to be taking into account is when you erode respect for a position by offering obvious boobs like this as placeholders, you replace it with contempt for the office. Or maybe they are taking it into account, and it’s all part of a plan to bring about the day when they can drop all pretenses because their rule will be unchallengeable.

They don’t want you to have guns and they don’t want you to have free speech. Hey, if you can get away with ignoring the Second Amendment, why should you respect the First? [More]

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.
