Gold Hat Gun Control

Goldspan

So, the state ran checks they had no authority to run yet based on an emergency that didn’t clear the bar to be an emergency while ignoring an injunction that’s still sitting on the judge’s desk. [Watch]

Checks and balances? We ain’t got no checks and balances. We don’t need no checks and balances. I don’t have to show you any stinking checks and balances!

If they don’t have to obey the law, why should we have to obey their lawlessness?

The Rebellion Spreads

What did I say about if more took a stand?

Some are.

And why am I thinking “Alice’s Restaurant“?

You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick, and they won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it—in harmony—they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of ’em. And three people do it—three, can you imagine?—three people walking in, singing a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out?—they may think it’s an organization. And can you—can you imagine fifty people a day—I said fifty people a day!—walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. And friends, they may think it’s a movement!

A Line in the Sand

Marine vet prosecutor refuses to cross constitutional line on Spanberger ‘assault weapon’ ban – Commonwealth Attorney Ryan Mehaffey said the new Virginia gun ban ‘is striking at the core of the militia system’ [More]

What’s a Law repugnant to the Constitution, again…?

No Ted Olson, he…

This is a major beef I have with apologists for the administration making excuses that they have to defend the law. No, they don’t.

Now all we need is an actual militia system with a core. Anybody see any bills proposing that?

If more took this stand it would galvanize and spread.

Collateral Damage

The governor’s acknowledgment that the law covers common hunting models will likely be cited in Second Amendment challenges. If the law is not amended, she could prove the main witness against her own signed legislation. [More]

Yeah, I know… any chair in a bar fight.

Thing is, 2A isn’t about hunting and “common use” will come back to bite us.

So will special exemptions for Fudds.

Sic Semper Tyrannis

DOJ Tells Virginia ‘See You in Court’ After Latest Gun Ban – Virginia defined those guns as “assault firearms.” [More]

It doesn’t strike ruling Democrats that the official seal of the Commonwealth shows armed Virtue standing over a slain corpse, with the motto “Thus always to tyrants,” or that the fallen crown shows what the Founders had in mind by “No Kings”…?

The Fix is In

The Democratic governor’s changes to House Bill 217/Senate Bill 749 remove the word “fixed” from part of the bill’s definition of an assault firearm, which could sharply expand the range of semi-automatic rifles and pistols swept into the ban, Republicans say. [More]

It’s good that DOJ is going to fight this, but let’s be careful not to turn “common use” into a trap.

Ultimately, it boils down to how many Virginians are committed to the Commonwealth’s motto.

Yes, Virginia Gun Owners, There Is a Governor’s Race

So what are the odds that it will be appealed, especially if Spanberger wins?

I mean, it’s not like we can count on NRA-endorsed Jason Miyares should he beat Jay Jones:

AG Miyares continues his Second Amendment betrayal

Here’s the thing– I’ve been pretty vocal about NRA and Winsome Earle-Sears, but how does GOA explain this?

And I’m getting similar results here and here.

I’d think being headquartered in Fairfax, I’d want a more visible information effort from both my 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) entities.

You Can’t Offload NRA Responsibilities on TPUSA

Guess who else could.

Sure, TPUSA could be a big factor, but you can’t offload NRA’s responsibilities to mobilize its members on them. Why there has been silence on this from NRA “reform” directors is a question only you guys can answer.

And do it in more than a one-liner on X.com. Analyze Fusaro’s proposal and strategy, and if there are specific areas where you can offer improvements, do so.

Because the economy plan isn’t going to work and is going to end up exposing that nothing in Fairfax has really changed despite all the noise.

We’re the Only Ones Secondary Enough

Abigail Spanberger has consistently aligned herself against law enforcement. For the PBA to throw its support behind her is not only baffling — it is reckless, tone-deaf, and dangerous. [More]

That’s shallow thinking, to believe the primary function of the union is to protect its members. The primary function is to advance subversion, and when it comes to that, it’s understood by the commissars that their individual “causes” will take a back seat to that.

Without Coordination, Money and Boots on the Ground, Virginia Will Be Lost to the Gun Prohibitionists

Fusaro has offered a detailed plan, and good one. It’s up to NRA and VCDL to share what plans they have developed to see how their detailed strategies compare… [More]

What happens here will be a bellwether for the midterms. We’re either serious about this — and willing to do all the necessary things — or we’re not and we won’t.
