Sanitized for Your Protection
Jersey Devil in the Details
New Jersey’s New “John Wick” Carry Permit Training Mandate [More]
How much competency must a citizen demonstrate in order to vote and be protected by any of the other Amendments?
One question I did not see addressed, so perhaps one of you who knows will educate me in “Comments”: If an “Only One” fails the test, how soon (and often) can they retake it, and does the same standard apply to “civilians”?
One more question: Who thinks Newark triggermorons give a damn?
More Holes Than Swiss Cheese
Switzerland is a country that has a high rate of gun ownership but doesn’t have a high level of gun violence. It’s because they actually have a well regulated militia with high levels of mental and legal vetting AND training to own a gun. [More]
And nothing else factors in?
If so, he should have no problem showing commensurate higher rates of “gun violence” among people of Swiss ancestry here.
Except challenge him with facts and he runs away…
And we shouldn’t lose sight they have their own totalitarian wannabes trying to destroy their historic security and sovereignty by mandating global citizen disarmament edicts.
Touching on a Sore Spot
Syphilis Emergency Looms in the US… [More]
Not among normal people it doesn’t.
They pull the same crap with the “gun violence epidemic,” taking numbers reflecting behaviors of an identifiable aberrant subsection of the population and making it seem like it’s a problem we all share, and in a way it is: Responsible people who don’t engage in high-risk stupid behaviors end up paying for the actions of those who can’t — or won’t — control themselves.
Brazil Returns to Gun Control of Old Under Socialist Dictator Lula
How the new disarmament edicts will play with Brazil’s established “gun culture” will be instructive. Defiant Bolsonaro backers should not be surprised to find themselves smeared as extremists and conflated with criminal insurrectionists by highly-placed government officials and the media, just like here in the U.S. [More]
The parallels between there and here are numerous and disturbing. As are the tactics and goals of totalitarians demanding a monopoly of violence.
This is No Time to Relax
With Oregon’s Legislature out of session and the first step in our Federal lawsuit to stop Ballot Measure 114 behind us, things may seem a bit “quiet” on the gun rights front. But like so much in life, things are boiling beneath the surface. [More]
Oregon gun owners need to take this time to understand their situation, recruit support, and get involved.
Nothing in Common
That the antis have glommed onto “self-defense” as an exclusionary qualifier was inevitable since that’s all the “common possessors” on our side ever talk about.
If we keep limiting ourselves that way, arms needed for the core purpose and all new technological developments restricted to military/police use will be forever denied to the people the Second Amendment was meant to apply to, and not just for “self-defense.”
I’m waiting for one of our legal influencers with a reach longer than mine to admit this and start using it.
Alternatively, I’m waiting for one of them to have the guts to challenge me on this and prove me wrong.

Hunter Punter
Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance Wednesday morning as he pleaded “not guilty” and federal prosecutors confirmed the president’s son is still under federal investigation. [More]
ATF just denied my latest FOIA request on the grounds that there’s an ongoing investigation. I’m looking into options, but this will no doubt delay things further, perhaps indefinitley, and part of me wonders if that’s the plan.
Even this guy’s lawyers are crooked.

Elderly man charged with setting Yosemite park fire after Dems blamed it on ‘climate change’ [More]
Well, the environmentalcase did put a lot more carbon into the air… funny, how the “progressives”/Opposite Day truism always seems to work out.
And what’s this “elderly man” crap? The guy’s my age…

If ‘Ifs’ and ‘Buts’ were Candy and Nuts
If the FBI won’t submit to the legislative branch’s oversight, Congress can take away its guns and its jurisdiction. [More]
I’m sorry, I know we’re being provided with unique information with past precedent that’s been dug out for us, and I agree with the sentiment, but my first thought on reading this was “If wishes were fishes we’d all cast nets.”
There’s no way totalitarian Democrats relying on an apparatchik spy and intimidation network and dolt “law and order” Republicans would ever consider such a thing.
And it’s not like the “Only Ones” have exactly established a track record of justice and trust.

Democrats Run The Most Crime Ridden Cities In The US – But Is The Situation Even Worse Than We’re Told? [More]
You mean do they cover up how badly they’ve screwed things up with DSM cooperation to suppress and misdirect?
And speaking of Democrats in denial… (then again, so are the “gun groups).

Taking Up a Collection

As Clear an ‘F-You’ as They Could Make It
This is a look at a stunning map that shows where you can or can not carry and according to this map its nearly impossible to go about your daily life without running into a restricted zone. [Watch]
They’re in your face with it. And they don’t care.
So– which gun and ammo companies are going to continue selling to and servicing them?

It’s what Soros DAs do.
And it’s what the falsely entitled useful idiots who voted for this communist racist want.
Along with your guns, of course.
