The Best Laid Schemes

Terrified revellers at a gay bar in Oslo hid in a basement and desperately called loved ones as a gunman went on the rampage, killing two people and injuring more than 20 on the day the city was due to celebrate its annual Pride parade. [More]

But…but…but…

The country has had strict rules for years, including mandatory gun safety classes and an involved licensing process. But it took seven years after the 2011 massacre to enact a ban on semiautomatic weapons that was inspired by the attack. It went into effect at the end of last year.

Funny, what the Reuters report minimized and buried.  It’s almost like they have an agenda

Some Good News and Some Bad News

California Attorney General says “effective immediately, issuing authorities should no longer require proof of good cause for the issuance of a public-carry license.” [More]

These weasels always have big “buts”:

Don’t “Back the blue” or ATF or…? So much for “respect for the law.” How is being against fetus butchering or drag queen story hour for preschoolers “respect[ful] for the rights of others? If you’re against “sanctuary” for illegals (hell, if you even call them “illegals”) or “critical race theory” school curricula, and BLM Marxists, how is that an “absence of racism”? Plus, we all know anyone smeared as a “white nationalist extremist Nazi” is the greatest threat to “our democracy.” Just ask the U.S. Department of Justice!

Page 3 shows all the arbitrary and politically -exploitable “good moral character” outs they’re sending signals to impose, so look for delays and denials that will take more drawn-out court cases to wrangle out.

I wouldn’t be calling the “Supreme Court victory” a slam dunk just yet. If there’s one thing leftists are good at, it’s weaponizing the law against their enemies while ignoring it themselves.

Dual Purpose

The United States and Arizona state government making exceptions for so-called “exceptional” foreign nations in the context of establishing so-called “dual citizenship” or “dual nationality” is a misguided, disingenuous, and dangerous artificial construct, disrespecting, offending, and insulting the institution of U.S. and Arizona citizenship.

No Problem Here

Supreme Court rules out suing police for Miranda violations [More]

Maybe it’s just me, but I always figured if you were dumb enough to admit anything to the police you deserved the same sympathy as the lunatic who climbs into the hyena enclosure at the zoo.

The thought of a proven sexual predator being able to sue the productive sector (yeah, it’s not “the police” who will pay) because he didn’t know ratting yourself out would hurt is not something the Founders ever contemplated.
