Wife and I are going to go treat my best and oldest friend ( we’ve had many, many adventures since meeting freshman year in college) to dinner for his birthday.
Be back tomorrow. Comments and tips will have to wait.
An Age Old Question
The Second Amendment Foundation has won a victory for young adults in Pennsylvania, where a panel of the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to remand the case back to the District Court with instructions to enter an injunction forbidding the state police from arresting law-abiding 18-20-year-olds for openly carrying firearms during a declared state of emergency.

At this point, what other choice do the court and those backing disarmament have?
And will we see a simlar conflict demanding SCOTUS resolution as we’ve just seen with felons?
Projection Much?

Trump May Not Be Safe at His Inauguration [More]
I don’t think he’s ever going to be “safe” another day in his life.
And if he’s not…

A Sporting Chance
The bill would allow the import of firearms when similar products are domestically produced and available for sale in the United States. [More]
I wonder if he reads Firearms News. The thing is, it doesn’t need to be a bill, which would allow for it to fail. :
There’s something else Trump could do quickly that would not require Congressional approval. Back in 1989, George H.W. Bush (the “Read my lips, no new gun laws” president who quit the NRA over its then-Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre repeating Democrat Rep. John Dingell’s “jackbooted thugs” reference to ATF) imposed “a permanent import ban on 43 types of semiautomatic assault rifles, including the Chinese-made AK47 and Israeli-made Uzi carbine,” per The Washington Post. The excuse given was they “were not being used for sport as required by the Gun Control Act of 1968.”
That would be “very easy” to overturn, Firearms News Editor-in Chief, Vincent L. DeNiro, who has a nine-page resume in the gun industry going back to 1982, assesses. “President Trump doesn’t even need Congress to get rid of the unconstitutional 1989 “assault weapons” import ban, he just needs to order the BATFE to declare all imported semi-auto rifles as ‘sporting,’ which is what these same models are considered when domestically produced.” (True, “sporting use” is a term originated in a 1938 German gun control law, and “swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of an American,” but it will get the job done and we know why we want them.)

Can You Say ‘Insurance Fraud’?
Hunter Biden artworks worth ‘millions of dollars’ destroyed in LA fires: source [More]
The guy’s no more qualified to be an artist than he was an oil executive. Once “The Big Guy’s” out for good, no longer able to sell his influence, and subject to well-earned reverse legal scrutiny, I can see the “value” dropping preciptously.

Here’s the takeaway:
Incidents/Injuries:
None reported
So unlected, embedded, probable Democrat bureaucrats get to impose an expensive “F*** you” over a non-existent problem, unless you’re in the habit of leaving your guns so equipped in reach of toddlers…
You gotta wonder if they invented this on their own or if the antis have figured out how they can snitch and stick it to gun companies with rulefare.
What was that about teddy bears again…?
I’m wondering if a FOIA request might shed some light, and who would be the best person/entity to file one… I’m also wondering if this type of destructive overreach is something the new administraiton can address.
Too bad Gun Owners for Trump isn’t an actual thing…

Keep on Truckin’
The Austin, Texas-based Liberty Justice Center on Jan. 7 filed a lawsuit on behalf of two truck drivers against the state of Minnesota, arguing that the state’s failure to recognize other states’ firearm permits violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit aims to defend the two truckers’ constitutional right to bear arms in public and carry them in their trucks across state borders. [More]
And not just truckers from the looks of things…

Two anti-gun Democrats did, and I’ll be writing that exchange up for Firearms News.

The Stop Fraudulent Tax-Funded Anti-Gun Propaganda Act
Medicaid funding for gun violence programs faces scrutiny – Republican Congressman Andrew Clyde, of Georgia, unveiled the Medicaid Funds Integrity Act to restrict Medicaid funds for gun violence prevention programs. [More]
As usual, the “real reporters” are parroting lies to us. The point is to stop using tax dollars to spread violence monopolist propaganda, just like CDC was doing when its Director of the National Center for Injury Control and Prevention publicly advocated “We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes. Now it [sic] is dirty, deadly, and banned.”
