Up in Smoke

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit from Florida’s agriculture commissioner that challenged a ban on medical marijuana patients’ rights to buy and possess firearms. [More]

So when are they going to arrest her?

And no, of course, I don’t agree with the ban. I just can’t help but notice she’d be happy to arrest us for “violating” citizen disarmament laws she agrees with.

I wonder if the “conservative” High Court’s Bruen decision with its “historical understanding” benchmark will end up saving her.

Lies From Operation Fast and Furious ‘Gunwalking’ Resurrected in Mexican Lawsuit

Unfortunately, or more likely as planned, the answer to keeping U.S. arms from being smuggled across the border into Mexico is something those screaming the loudest for citizen disarmament and against an uncontrolled northward flow of drugs and illegal aliens don’t want to hear about: Control the damn border. [More]

There is no new thing under the sun and the more things change the more they stay the same. Hey, it’s not like a low-information public deliberately being kept that way will recognize old lies being dusted off and reintroduced as “truths”.

Ghost Guns

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t seen Winchester, a 2018 Hollywood hit piece on guns, and don’t want to know what happens, stop reading now.

I had a chance to watch it last night. I’d been curious to see it since it came out but not enough to pay money for.

It’s based on the real-life crazy heiress to the gun company whose story has been twisted to paint her as compelled to build and tear down senseless additions to her mansion because she was haunted by the spirits of those killed “by” Winchester firearms.

How fitting that such a character was portrayed by crazy anti-gun “movie star” Helen Mirren, firing off military weapons for action picture fame and fortune while simultaneously promoting global citizen disarmament right down to demanding “a total ban of replica guns.”

Naturally, the writers and everyone involved had no problem with the malevolent spirits blaming guns for all the killings, which is actually a pretty good analogy for their malevolent real-life counterparts. I also found it ironic (because the filmmakers didn’t) to see the protagonist, a drug-addicted gunquack, save the day by killing the head ghost with a magic bullet fired from a Winchester rifle.

The stuff that delusions are made of…

Disappearing Act

We have so far preserved more than 1.9 million “ephemeral experiences” – exposure to short-lived content that impacts people and then disappears, leaving no trace – that Google and other companies are able to use to shift opinions and voting preferences, and we expect to have captured more than 2.5 million by Election Day. [More]

Let me guess: “Baseless.”

A Matter of Priorities

A gang that preys on gay men at Hell’s Kitchen nightclubs is suspected of killing at least two victims and of drugging and robbing more than a dozen other men — but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is impeding the investigation, law enforcement sources say. [More]

I trust no one expects him to choose between which group it’s more politically advantageous for Democrats to pander to or ignore…

Do-Over

Here’s the background:

Morin v. Lyver is a follow-up challenge to the lifetime ban on the issuance of a License to Carry to anyone conviction of a minor, non-violent misdemeanor if the offense involves a weapon or ammunition and where a term of imprisonment may be imposed… Dr. Morin has since applied for and was issued a Firearms Identification Card. However, his application for a Permit to Purchase was denied.

You can have the card but you can’t have the gun? Some Masshole government POS decided that? Really?

Laying the Foundation

Why Former Slave States Became the Foundation of American Gun Culture [More]

Because white people are racist, of course!

Who couldn’t see that coming?

And did you know that “It’s only relatively recently that Americans have come to believe that guns keep a person safe and secure”? (Forget “security of a free State”– the old slave owners were obviously talking about a collective right!)

Pencil-necked academic and critic of “meritocracy [and] the Protestant Work Ethic” Nick Buttrick said it, I believe it, and that settles it!

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

It can happen here — It is happening here [More]

Unless we elect unabashed globalist socialists intent on confiscating guns and canceling all opposing thoughts, “fascists” who believe in limited and Constitutional government and a Bill of Rights culture, and “alter[ing] or [abolishing]” “any Form of Government … destructive of these ends” are going to mess up everything we’ve worked so hard to tear down!

It’s almost like they’re laying the foundation for insurrection if things don’t go their way tomorrow…

If You Forget the Violent Deaths, It’s Pretty Safe Out There

Other than murder, violent crime is not up. Did you know that? [More]

Mona Charen once more proves that, aside from being universally unlikeable, Vichycons are fricking idiots.

Who Couldn’t See THAT Coming?

Gov. Ned Lamont said this week that he wants to go after thousands of firearms legally kept in Connecticut under several “grandfather” provisions in the state’s decades-old assault weapons ban… [More]

What, the ones Connecticut gun owners naively registered?

We’re the Only Ones Chilling Enough

A jury convicted a former New York City police officer on Friday of second-degree murder in the death of his 8-year-old son, who was forced to sleep overnight on the concrete floor of a freezing garage. [More]

If he treated his child like this, what would he not do to you if angered?

I predict a hot reception in the cooler.

What Kind of Question is THAT?

Was the defendant entitled to a jury charge on self-defense based on his own testimony that he believed his use of force was necessary to protect himself? [More]

Only if courts are meant to determine the truth of guilt or innocence.

That the State argued “No” hardly seems a Blessings of Liberty” move…
