Gotta Serve Somebody
The two letters show opposite assumptions about reality and the role of governments. The NY letter assumes guns are bad, and ordinary citizens should not have guns, because ordinary citizens do bad things with guns. The letter from the 28 states assumes government is subordinate to the people, government must defend the nation, and an armed population aids the government in defending the nation against all enemies. These two assumptions about reality are in direct conflict. [More]
We are, in fact, two countries divided by the fundamental difference of principle on the question: Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?

Today the Illinois Appellate Division reversed a lower court decision that had dismissed a legal challenge to the Cook County tax on firearms and ammunition sales. [More]

“3% chance of being enacted” by the Senate and “1%” by the House. So be aware this is one increment they’ll try for if the GOP blows ’24, but for now, there are more pressing priorities.

Weasel Wording with Winchester II
WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike F writes:
I contacted Winchester Customer Support and got the same response that the other gentleman received.
Based on the number of gun owners contacting them, that is, a handful, they feel they can ignore inquiries. That tells us something about their management. It also tells us about something else.
It’s nice to know they’re not all like that.
