If Only We Didn’t Have Rights…

Recent operations by the FBI and prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice has led to federal convictions for Florida residents accused of buying high-powered guns to arm the gangs in Haiti… “These international gangs and these criminal organizations have very sophisticated means and networks to be able to facilitate smuggling, whether it’s through shipments, out of the ports, airlines, different things like that…” [More]

Why would they need to?

I notice how it is “international gangs” are in this country in the first place is left unexplored.

Dix: Representatives of People Who Resist Infringements Have a Lot of Gall Complaining About Crime

In addition to nullifying existing firearm regulations, the bill makes it even more difficult for officials to enforce gun laws. [More]

He says that like it’s a bad thing.

We’ve met Griffin Dix before:

A loaded chamber indicator on a Beretta 92 Compact L did not stop 14-year-old Michael Soe from feloniously killing 15-year-old Kenzo Dix during a practical joke. The fact is, Soe’s father left a loaded gun where an untrained, impulsive and judgmentally-challenged adolescent could find it. In their lawsuit, backed by CPHV, Dix’s parents maintained, among other charges, that the chamber indicator was inadequate because the gun was not inscribed with a warning as well. Presumably, were Beretta to do so, they would still be deemed negligent for not including such warnings in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese and Tagalog.

We can sympathise with his loss. That does not give him a pass to attack our rights, and when he does, his motives shouldn’t lessen our response.

Another Reason to Sue Glock

Man just released from prison involved in shooting in St. Pete…Small was firing at people outside with a 9 mm Glock handgun with a 50-round drum for a magazine…a short time later he was spotted firing into a home in the 1600 block of 42nd Avenue South, where a blind elderly man lives…he ran off into a nearby lot on 40th St S. Small reportedly fired two rounds at the officer. [More]

There oughta be a law!

Max Frost Nipping at Your Rights

The Prevent Illegal Gun Resales Act would add common sense structural reform to the gun sale industry by boosting license application requirements for gun retailers, proportionally increasing the cost of licensing fees, and adding a new definition for “high-risk dealers” that would include sellers who:

Had a known violation or warning in the past three years; Had firearms either lost or stolen from them within the preceding year; or, Were the source of two or more guns with a time-to-crime of three years or less. [More]

In other words, close them all down.

Yes, Bob, exactly like Democrats.

Yes, this is political posturing for the media, and no, it won’t pass — yet — but it’s instructive to see what the plans are for when previous impediments are removed through “compromise.”

The only reason to let the enemy get closer to the target is to draw him into a trap.

The Wrong Question

Because it’s really about something else.

Grieving mother sues ghost gun kit maker Polymer80 for fatal shooting of daughter in the Bronx [More]

Now give us background on the killer, on all those “existing gun laws” that didn’t stop him, and on the data that concludes any new one would have.

He didn’t hit the right targets either.

Right to Arms for Illegal Aliens a Red Herring to Distract from Real Issue

But again, it’s the wrong question. What should be asked is “Why is a known illegal alien allowed to remain in the United States instead of being deported?” [More]

“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.” (Thomas Pynchon/”Gravity’s Rainbow”)

Wie ein Guter Nachbarin

An Evanston man put signs in his yard that his neighbor says left her feeling intimidated. He now faces a felony charge, on the claim he was trying to intimidate her after she reported him for having unattractive property… She said Groneman and his household are “crazy” “gun-loving” people, the affidavit relates.

Fill Out Forms, You’re on the List

“We have a lot of databases. We have the CBI records checks that we already check. We have your concealed weapons permits… so I don’t know that we are looking at some newfangled database specifically to create something to identify who has a gun. We have that. That exists… so, do you guys really think that the ultimate outcome for this is for us to track you? [More]

No, that’s not the ultimate outcome.

And you’ll notice where that vision starts to get blurry

Soap, Ballot, Jury, Cartridge, and Shoe?

If you want to know what the country thinks about President Joe Biden’s agenda, look at how they vote. Not at the ballot box. But with their feet. [More]

No, what the country thinks about Biden will be determined at the ballot box, and how many nest foulers bring the same crap that destroyed their last one to their new digs.

That and what they’re doing about “newcomers” voting with their feet.

Sister Act

Man in ‘Scream’ costume fatally attacked neighbor with chainsaw, knife, paperwork says… In the report, police said they interviewed Moyer’s sister, who told them Moyer had been talking about killing Whitehead a week before the crime. [More]

What would you want to do if your loved one was killed and it turned out the perp’s family knew of the plot and did nothing to warn anyone?

How about at least some aiding and abetting charges?

NYC to test gun detecting systems in subways amid security push [More]

And if they can have them there, why not Everywhere, in Everytown? If you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, what’s to keep you from trampling on the Fourth?

After all, it’s for the greater good.

My first thought was of ways criminals and terrorists will defeat this, starting with preferential embedded assets.

Maine Responds to My FOAA Request on Cancelling AR Rifles Class

I got a series of emails from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife regarding my Freedom of Access Act request for documentation leading to the decision to cancel an “AR rifles” safety class.

It looks like the sent me a lot of what I asked for but I’ll be going through everything this weekend to see and then writing a follow-up report.

Finally! Mass influencers we can identify with who will speak for us!

I can’t wait to see how far to the left on the woke scale the DSM’s representation of what should be considered acceptable American life has moved.
