We’re the Only Ones Pathetic Enough

Jean Pierre Toussaint asked a federal judge to look at him, not as a criminal, but as a father of four and someone who had served Broward County for four years [and] “a very good person who made a mistake.” [More]

The whiny, choice-minimizing excuse-maker should have thought of the lifelong effects on his children before he decided to be a scumbag.

A Sternly-Worded Letter

Maybe one of these days such letters will include “Who the hell do you think you are and under what legitimate Constitutionasl authority do you dare to even insert your subversive @$$ into private sales of arms between American citizens?” followed with an order to immediately surrender himself for trial.

The important thing is,  this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Besides, look on our works, ye mighty, and despair.

And sorry, ration books won’t include ammo.

Common Thread on Invasion, Guns

A federal judge is upholding new Arizona laws that would require registered voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order for their votes to be counted. [More]

Why is this even an issue? Who but a genocidal dom…Demestic enemy would be against that?

And how many who would have it otherwise are “gun sense candidates”?

‘The Good Seaman Weathers the Storm He Cannot Avoid and Avoids the Storm He Cannot Weather’

A comment left under my latest AmmoLand piece on the couple victimized by latter-day “pirates of the Caribbean”:

In an effort to travel to Puerto Rico with my weapon, I have thought of boating there. That is why I contacted my state:

Keith Davis
Deputy Commissioner, Operations
Department of Public Safety
Jackson, Mississippi

I did this to secure weapon reciprocity between Puerto Rico and the State of Mississippi, as per the law of each entity.
Initially he did respond, but has not returned my last email and did not follow through on his promise.

So far, I have not traveled to Puerto Rico. I will not travel with out my weapon.

Until we change things in the minds of others who run these affairs, I am land locked.

Per USCCA:

With the passage of the Weapons Acts of 2020, Puerto Rico will now honor all state concealed carry permits once the NPPR Commissioner establishes memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with states and/or territories of the United States…

Here’s the Puerto Rico Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map. Mississippi being yellow means “Yes with restrictions,” which under States That Have Restricted Reciprocity with Puerto Rico” says “(permitless carry, at least 21 years old).”

You might want to tell Keith Davis and MS DPS “Thanks for nothing.”

As my shameless CYA disclaimer, I guess I have to add that I’m the last person in the world you want to take legal advice from, because when I don’t like gun laws, I’ve been known to endorse breaking them. Just publicly admitting that, where LE can (and does) read it, should be warning enough.

Item last, and tangentially related, I wish I’d remembered this when I wrote my article, but it’s been years and I didn’t, I call your attention to “How Gun Control ‘Worked’ in Jamaica” by longtime colleague Tina Iwalani Terry.

Supreme Court Back-and-Forth on Bump Stocks Creates Nail-Biter Anticipation

This pretty much defined the day. Those expecting a Second Amendment defense decrying Chevron deference overreach instead heard the justices trying to grasp competing definitions of “function of a trigger” along with scenarios unlikely to persuade judges who equate “common use” with widespread commercial popularity. [More]

You were expecting a slam dunk…?

I Thought the Object was to DRAIN the Swamp…

Trump encourages Daines to jump into Senate GOP leader race [More]

When I was a kid, if I came home with a 66, I had some ‘splainin’ to do. Is this representative of the transcripts he’d accept to hire someone? If so, no wonder he’s so good at firing them.

And 72 ain’t no great shakes, either.

Republicans grades as a whole pretty much explain the strength of the Vichycon movement.

Rand Paul does well.

The Best and the Brightest

A new complaint accuses Alade McKen, Columbia University Medical School’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) chief, of plagiarizing his dissertation, including material from Wikipedia. [More]

That’s because, according to a survey of race-hustling bellyachers with an axe to grind, he had to cheat twice as hard.

I guess that diminishes what my wife and I had to go through with all those minimum wage service and labor jobs in high school and college.

Planned Powderkeg

The protests are now havens for foreign students, especially those from Arab and Muslim countries, with their own set of nationalist and tribal grievances against Israel and the United States. In some cases, such foreign students appear to lead the protests in their pro-terrorism chants—some of which are in Arabic, or translations of Arabic slogans. [More]

Rigorous!

What do you want to bet after a terrorist massacre, government traitors counting on this come down with more “Patriot Act”-restrictions on us, “the greatest threat”? Especially if “assault weapons” are used!

eTyranny

Earlier this week, the firearms community was rocked by news of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) eForms system shutdown, raising alarms among gun shops and National Firearms Act (NFA) applicants alike. The system, crucial for processing applications for silencers, short-barrel rifles, and other NFA items, reportedly closed due to Congressional budgeting concerns, leaving many to question the timing and reasoning behind the decision. [More]

So, it was a revenge move…?

I have an immediate, cost-free solution, but the government won’t allow it.

Yeah, Gun Safety, That’s the Ticket…

Each of the plaintiffs had their conviction vacated, set aside, or dismissed, and their right to possess firearms restored, by the jurisdiction in which they were convicted … Even so, California has acted to permanently deny Linton, Stewart, and Jones the right to possess or own firearms, solely on the basis of their original convictions… Summary judgment is granted in favor of plaintiffs on the Second Amendment claim. [More]

They meet all MY criteria.

What a d!ck Rob Bonta is.
