The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
And after engaging with this Nation’s tradition of firearm regulations several times already, the Court’s unanswered question is whether Bruen demands lower courts manicure the Second Amendment’s landscape by scalpel or chainsaw….As a result, the Court holds that § 922(g)(8) is unconstitutional under Bruen’s framework. It is therefore ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Indictment be GRANTED. [More]

Expect a challenge from Team Tyranny, because otherwise, their whole damn Gordian knot will unravel.

Anybody Else See a Disconnect?
Stefanik endorses Trump for president in 2024, as some push him to delay announcement [More]
She’s returning love he gave when she was running for GOP Conference Chair against Rep. Chip Roy, and Trump said:
“Can’t imagine Republican House Members would go with Chip Roy—he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district. I support Elise, by far, over Chip!”
Not only was he not primaried, he just delivered for the GOP in a landslide, 63% to 37%.
What’s Trump’s signature issue?
Stefanik’s mediocre C+ rating from Numbers USA (up from a D- a few years ago) includes a wholly unacceptable “F” for “Reduce Unnecessary Worker Visas,” an “F-” for “Reduce Refugee and Asylum Fraud,” and a “D+” for “Reduce Illegal Jobs and Presence.”
And she was one of 34 GOP turncoats calling for “DACA amnesty.”
Compare to Roy, with an “A+.” He’s better all around.
I guess not going along to get along was the dealbreaker.
What’s Trump’s signature issue again? Maybe he’d like to take my challenge?
We’ve already established the guy is so good at firing people because he’s so lousy at hiring them. This business of bestowing support based on who’s stroking his ego is going to kill us..
Speaking of ‘Every Terrible Implement’…
Large-capacity magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not essential to the use of firearms… Additionally, large-capacity magazines are not protected “arms” because they are not commonly used for self-defense. [More]
Since that directly follows an “Overview of Bruen’s text-and-history standard for analyzing Second Amendment claims,” I wonder what Tench would say to that…?
Legal weasel Rob Bonta proves the point that if you limit arguments to “self-defense” and ignore core purpose, you’re not using every means at your disposal.

You know, the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.
I wonder if Roy will tell us what he likes about Jim Crow…?
Joe Walsh, Rob Pincus, and Amy Swearer are joining in to “legitimize” the show and demonstrate how “fair-minded” those paying for it are…
Everybody’s looking at the inclusion of Steven Gutowski into the mainstream discourse as a positive, and I hope he uses the elevated platform to the best effect possible, but I also believe there’s something in it for “them” in terms of the direction of the discourse.
What we’re seeing here is something I’ve warned about– all our “gun rights influencers” gushing over all the new gun owners without considering whether or not any votes have been changed…
The antis are picking a lot of them up just as surely as they’ve done with a lot of Fudds.
There I go vilifying by pointing out an obvious divide-and-conquer strategy again.

Because ultimately, union workers are just useful idiots for votes and there are more important priorities for those who placed it there…? (And that’s assuming it’s not just a pull rope?)
We know who “they” want us to believe is behind it, but consider how often that is not the case. And it’s not like there’s not a narrative to parrot.

As if by Design
“They make these decisions openly. It’s not even [a] secret and we all know what will be the consequences of it. The defunding of the police, allowing shoplifting, giving drugs to drug addicts, giving money to people to stop work[ing], what will be the consequences? You’ll destroy society, you’ll destroy the city, you’ll destroy the economy…and it’s already happening. You would think how could they be so dumb. Of course, they’re not. They’re very smart. It’s by design. There’s no other logical explanation.” [More]
Or as Hannibal says…
Doubling Down
So, I’m not going to change — as a matter of fact, you know there’s some things I want to change and add to. For example, we had — passed the most bipartisan, we passed the most extensive gun legislation, anti- — you know, rational gun policy in 30 years. And — but we didn’t ban assault weapons. I’m going to ban assault weapons. They’re going to try like the devil [More]
