Yeah. “Gun control” doesn’t work.

Will the courts recognize his “standing”?
And sorry to be jaded, but does this stand a snowball’s chance, or is he just attaching his name to a big story for political name recognition?

Something else that’s funny– Malwarebytes popped up several “Compromised” warnings on The Babylon Bee but it’s fine with The Onion.
I’ve had issues with them before, including on my stuff (and going to the CCRKBA site) that I’ve had to beat them up over, and I’m wondering if I’m paying for baked-in leftist censorship.

The Shape of Things to Come
Supreme Court upholds law barring those with domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms [More]
The decision ignored the law, and no one will be made safer.
Roberts sure was stretching it– there’s a world of difference between “misusing” and “possessing.” There was nothing comparable to a restraining order at the time of ratification — those who received due process and were convicted were removed from society.
Thomas was the only one who got it right. Leave it to Giffords’ litigation director to literally cast aspersions on a black man’s “humanity” and get away with it.

As the Coat Turns
Trump says he wants foreign nationals who graduate from US colleges to ‘automatically’ receive green cards [More]
Here we go pandering to the cheap labor Republicans like the Grover Norquist/Michael Bloomberg partnership.
And, of course, once here, they’ll stay, apply for citizenship, marry citizens, have birthright babies and all vote pro-gun Republican, right?
And don’t forget the cheap foreign farm labor!
Tell me again how his banning bump stocks was brilliant 3D chess.
And about judges…
Once more the election is his to blow, and it looks like he’s doing a bang-up job of it. Or maybe I’m just not smart enough to recognize this latest gambit that will all be revealed in time…
I don’t frequent forums but my attention has been called to this post on AR15.com.
It brings to mind a recent Firearms News piece where I worry that unless advocates have his ear to impress on him the seriousness of our concerns, he’s going to keep saying and doing stupid and destructive $h!+ that betrays his base and takes all the wind out of their sails.
So I’d rather have Biden?
Is that even the right question to be asking at this point?

Not a Democrat This Time
State Rep. Neil Friske arrested in Lansing after police respond to reports of man with gun … “We do not have any details, besides what the media sourced, oddly before anyone of us knew anything.” [More]
Records the Free Press obtained Friday through the online Michigan State Police criminal background service, the Internet Criminal History Access Tool, show police requested felony charges of sexual assault, assault, and a weapons-related offense…
I’m gonna have to check that out.
Bear in mind he has not been arraigned at this writing and what charges will actually be brought against him are as yet unknown. Still, it’s a reminder of an obligation each of us who publicly advocate for the right to arms have to keep our noses clean.

An Age-Old Question
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s prohibition against allowing young adults aged 18 to 20 from acquiring a license to carry a firearm (LTCF) for personal protection. The case is known as Brown v. Paris. [More]
If nothing else, it’s a mockery of U.S. Code:

Drilling down further, anyone see anything in here about a license? Yeah, I know, increments. Just sayin’…

Meanwhile, Over at ‘the Most Transparent Administration in History’…
Secret Service destroyed video of Biden’s dog Commander biting agent in brutal attack that forced White House to stop tours so blood could be wiped off the floor… The Secret Service’s Freedom of Information Act Officer Kevin Tyrrell wrote to DailyMail.com in a letter Friday that ‘Due to Secret Service retention standards, the above mentioned file(s) has been destroyed.’ [More]
Wait a sec…Commander attacked the agent in June 2023…?
What are the Secret Service’s records retention “standards”?
Are they different from three years? Did anybody get a copy of the policy and see who authorized it and when? Are there records of who authorized (ordered) the destruction, and did it come before or after the FOIA request?
Kevin Tyrell, eh? Should I be worrying about that affidavit he sent me swearing they had no info on agancy involvement with the Hunter Biden gun incident?

“She signed those statements while under chemical restraints,” O’Brien argued.
