Making the Grade
All Clear!
Three people killed in North Carolina shooting… no suspect has been identified … There is NO THREAT to the general public, and the event is contained to the above address… [More]
So… they know a lot more than they’re telling us…?
Waiting to notify all family members I can understand.
Credit Where Due
Federal Court Strikes Down NFA Registration Requirements for Suppressors, Short-Barreled Rifles, and Short-Barreled Shotguns in NRA Case [More]
A judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has ruled that the remaining registration scheme for short-barreled rifles and suppressors in the National Firearms Act (NFA) is unconstitutional in Jensen v. ATF, a case supported by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF). [More]
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and fellow plaintiffs scored a major win today. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled that key National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) restrictions are unconstitutional for untaxed firearms and permanently blocked the ATF from enforcing them against the plaintiffs, their members, and their customers. [More]
So… it was a team effort…?
We’re the Only Ones Familial Enough
Criminal Breaks Law!
Deputies in Hillsborough County say they arrested a 29-year-old man after he allegedly threatened another driver with a gun during a road rage incident on I-75. Tuesday, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said Jordan Patascher was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and driving while having his license revoked. [More]
If this doesn’t make you want to take it out on peaceable gun owners, I don’t know what will.

An Arizona man showing off a gun he was trying to sell at a yard sale wound up shooting a person in their colon and another in the hand, groin and leg, according to police. [More]
What a moron.
That he “fled the scene” tells me there’s a lot more to this guy’s story than we’re learning here.

60 years later, the UT Tower shooting stands as one of Texas’ darkest days [More]
Nothing about the “students with deer rifles … firing like crazy back at the Tower” that helped keep Whitman pinned down?

The Enemies Within
DHS General Counsel James Percival tore into the long list of activist left-wing judges who are acting in “open defiance” and trying to “run out the clock” as President Donald Trump executes his election mandate of mass deportation. [More]
If Republicans end up blowing it, guess what we’ll get more of.
On the plus side, louder voices than mine assure us just a few more generations will do the trick.

Who Will Help Me Fight the Infringements?
Todd Blanche’s Attorney General Nomination Advances, Gun Owners Want Results [More]
How badly do gun owners want those results? What are they, personally, doing now (beyond leaving anonymous disgruntled comments under articles and on social media)? How many silently move on without so much as a “Not I”… or a shared link?

Location, Location, Location
Goleta Gun Shop Relocating Next-Door to Preschool, Sparking Community Outrage… Catherine Mizrahi and her husband Dan, whose child attends the preschool, said they want the conversation to remain focused on safety rather than politics. “We’re hoping to have a focused and respectful discussion. This isn’t about opinions, politics, or gun rights. This is about child safety and community concern,” Mizrahi said. [More]
So it will be “about opinions, politics [and] gun rights,” or lack thereof. How did I know the antis were gonna lie?
That said, how could the gun store not know this was going to happen with that location? Then again, the outrage crowd doesn’t want gun stores anywhere.

I wonder if he’s gonna sue his attorney…

What They Mean By ‘Commonsense Gun Safety Laws’
In any case, in what follows, I argue (I strongly believe, soundly) that not only (i) owning, carrying, and/or using guns, but also (ii) The 2 nd Amendment to the US Constitution, and (iii) their necessary consequence, gun violence, are all rationally unjustified and immoral on broadly Kantian ethical grounds, and that therefore, (iv) Gun Abolitionism is rationally justified, morally right, and what we ought to do, by means of (iva) repealing The 2nd Amendment, and then (ivb) universally banning owning, carrying, and/or using guns. [More]
Yeah, that is crazy. I wonder how many people would end up being killed.
Study Kant, do ya, Bob?

Malum Prohibitum
Man arrested at Trump golf course ahead of president’s visit allegedly had weapons cache [More]
The second degree robbery charge looks like the only malum in se violation they’ll be judging Jeanine on. All the possession charges could be used against you or me, something some of us have warned about for a long time. Well, against you, anyway, since we’ve long established I don’t own any guns…
