A Plan Comes Together

From ‘Military Machine Gun’ to .22 Replica: KIRO 7’s UZI Story Changed Fast [More]

Josh Sugarmann smiles:

“The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”

Authorized Journalists“– is it any wonder that I love them so?

Point of Order

The “Operation Fast and Furious under Obama was another democratic blunder… ATF “purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders and arrest them… [More]

Overall, this is an informed and thoughtful comment, but I am compelled to add some clarification to these impressions.

Botched gun sting” is a media narrative used to mask intent. You can’t let the guns go and expect to track them anywhere, and those behind the plot knew that. I’ve been cautioning against believing it for years, but my small voice can’t be heard through all the noise.

This was a deliberate and criminal plot to set up conditions where U.S. guns would be found at violent and bloody crime scenes with the intent of using that to justify imposing citizen disarmament edicts here, particularly over semiautos and their magazines. They knew people would be killed. They couldn’t NOT know.

It’s not that the concept of preemption is beyond the Republican-dominated court.

Since these judges are elected, I’ll need to find out who voted how, and see how that measures up to BFA grades. Unless one of you wants to find that for us, ’cause it may take me a while.

Do you think this might be an April Fools’ Day joke?

Juan Q. Public

President Trump’s executive order denying birthright citizenship to U.S.-born children of nonresident aliens goes before the Supreme Court Wednesday, and conventional wisdom has it that the president will lose in Trump v. Barbara. If the court stays true to the original meaning of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, however, the conventional wisdom will prove wrong. [More]

That’s a big “if.”

If this was the type of argument, every time we had to challenge an unconstitutional scheme, it would only apply to this one individual under this one set of circumstances. It would be virtually and chronologically impossible to ever completely undo an otherwise unconstitutional gun law. [Watch]
