An Idea Whose Time Hasn’t Come
Following Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy’s push for more gun control under the guise of declaring “gun violence” a “public health crisis,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced its support for the proposed Protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act, sponsored by U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-IN).

The justices in a 6-3 vote on nonideological lines handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including former President Donald Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. [More]
That’s great news. But once again, Amy Coney Barrett casts doubt on her appointment.
She gave us Bruen, but as the saying goes, “What has she done for us lately?”
While Barrett’s confirmation should give gun owners a degree of hope and should certainly be viewed as more positive than a Biden nominee being placed on the High Court, we’ll need to wait and see if the gun groups or the gun-grabbers are right in their assessments. Republican appointments have disappointed in the past. Warren Burger and David Souter coming to mind.
Back to J6, that means hundreds have been falsely accused, arrested, prosecuted,and imprisoned. Who will pay?
Democrats are still out there smearing them as insurrectionists and traitors.

The Wrong Way
The Supreme Court struck the ban down, making it clear that if you wanted to ban bumpstocks you had to do it the right way, which is the way the Constitution outlines, which is actually passing a bill through Congress and having it signed into law by the president. [Watch]
“Left unsaid is where Congress derives such authority in the first place, as the power to regulate and ban arms is nowhere delegated to it in the Constitution. The only clear mandate is ‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ By any branch of government.”
Change my mind. Show the section and clause.
I expect our would-be leaders to know this stuff.
We’re the Only Ones Deranging Enough
On June 30, the Joe Foss Shooting Complex at Buckeye Hills Regional Park will close. The current permit holder, who has managed the range for the past six months, was notified last month that the permit would not be renewed… The decision has been made to transition the Complex to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO). [More]
I’m told the MCSO has a facility next to it but they have access to other ranges in the county that are LEO-only, and I’m wondering if there’s any anti-armed citizen political motive behind this, and if we can expect more.
Maybe we should start with what the prior permit holder has to say, and then look into if a FOIA request for correspondence between decision makers is called for.
If you know anything about this, feel free to educate us in “Comments.”

Attn: Washington Gun Owners
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, is joined by GOP Candidate Michael Baumgartner, a former State Senator now running to be the Representative to the US House in the 5th Congressional District. Michael is part of a very crowded field of both Repubicans and Democrats vying for this open seat. Today we ask Michael lots of questions, but most imprtantly, what sets him apart from the other candidates for this race. So learn more today so you can arm yourself with education [Watch]
The district is winnable for Republicans, so this isn’t a waste of time.
Know the race, the candidates, and where they stand on the issues. Anybody got any info on the other Republicans? If I can find time I’ll look, but just putting their names into a search engine and adding “+ gun” is a good starting point.
