Your Feel-Good Story of the Day

A carjacker was killed in the Loop on Thursday evening when the victim fought back, accelerated her car, and slammed into a beam that supports the L tracks, Chicago police said. [More]

I’d say Elijah didn’t tread well at all.

And not to pick on innocents who share that surname, but two of them now have gotten publicity for dying stupidly

An Age-Old Question

Transage Activists Now Claim “Age Is A Social Construct,” Just Like We Predicted Would Happen [More]

Perhaps we can make lemonades out of lemons– I have long advocated for giving young people development-appropriate gun training, as opposed to “age-appropriate.” Maybe this can be exploited against those obnoxious and unconstitutional edicts saying you have to be 21 to buy the firearm of your choice.

Except I bet if you asked transage proponents, they’d tell you no age is appropriate. More likely, they just want to diddle with kids.

Now wait for Phase Two: Age is racist.

There’s Nothing New about California Republicans ‘Snubbing’ Gun Owners

So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]

What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?

No Hard Feelings?

Alena Buyx, chair of the German Ethics Council, warns against assigning blame for pandemic failures, would prefer instead “honest retrospection” & “learning” because that sounds much nicer [More]

Why is “ice water experiments” the first term that comes to mind when I think of “German ethics” and medical science?

Thanks for Nothing

Retired FBI boss says agency has lost independence, been co-opted by liberal DOJ ideologues [More]

He just couldn’t say anything about it until his pension checks were assured.

That he “remains friends with Chris Wray” tells me any “solutions” he backs will make noise and nothing more. After all, who calling the shots in government went to prison after the Church Committee wrapped up?

Hatchet Job

The Supreme Court May Kick Off 2023 With a Huge Gun Rights Ruling – Without oral argument or full briefing, the case could take a hatchet to New York’s new concealed carry law—and countless more nationwide. [More]

So why does Mark Joseph Stern have his panties in a wad?

Oh…

A Larger Point

Franklin Armory and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc. (FRAC) have filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) over what the plaintiffs allege are wrongful classification of firearms and regulatory delays. [More]

That presupposes there are rightful classifications and acceptable review times.

Muster Call

A federal lawsuit supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition has been filed in New York, challenging that state’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]

I’ve been arguing not to forget “core purpose” in 2A actions, so I find this a good add:

The firearms at issue in this case are the sorts of bearable arms in common use for lawful purposes that law-abiding people possess at home by the millions. And they are, moreover, exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty, should such be necessary.

Curses, Foiled Again!

The 2nd Amendment is a curse [More]

So is the First sometimes, when being abused by the DSM.

It looks like there’s more to it than two paragraphs, but since I know where this is going I see no need to register to endure more lying subversion from impotent cultist punks who tolerate no apostasy.

Choke Point

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, condemned the U.S. Senate’s confirmation of Martin J. Gruenberg as Chair and Member of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Gruenberg led the FDIC from 2011-2018, during which the Obama administration conducted the illegal Operation Choke Point scheme to deny banking services to firearm businesses. NSSF opposed his confirmation in the strongest terms as he has already demonstrated a lack of respect for the law and unparalleled disdain for the Constitutionally-protected firearm and ammunition industry. [More]

Confirmed by voice vote to protect the Vichycons from accountability. Any gun owner familiar with the Hughes Amendment knows the type of treason that allows the self-serving tyrannical bastards to get away with.

See any Senate Republicans demanding to end that practice and record all votes?
