All These Things Will I Give Thee, if Thou Wilt Fall Down and Worship Me

James Talarico Said Failure to Restrict AR-15s Is ‘Ignoring God’s Messengers’ [More]

Would that be the “god” who “hates Christianity” his atheist-supporting minister promotes?

Disarming us is an unholy crusade with these zealots.

An Age-Old Question

If you’re not old enough to buy a beer, you shouldn’t be able to buy a handgun. But today, Trump’s Department of Justice released a dangerous opinion claiming that the life-saving federal law that stops people under 21 from buying handguns is unconstitutional and shouldn’t be enforced. [More]

Don’t tell us.

Tell him.

Not Exactly Spreading Like Wildfire

Google News tab hits as of this morning:

Cuccinelliar15briefnews

That would be this and this.

I hope louder voices pick up on this news, because I consider this brief to be the best Second Amendment justification I’ve ever seen submitted to SCOTUS, the one I’ve been waiting for because it lays out the foundation and blueprint to follow to overturn the NFA and Hughes Amendment abominations.

A Good First Step

Top DOJ official predicts Supreme Court will declare AR-15 rifles legal everywhere in America [More]

Great, as it should be.

I don’t mean to be the party pooper, but heeding Mr. Wolf (NSFW) for a second, two concerns remain:

  • What’s going to happen when Democrat states and Democrat judges ignore it?
  • What’s going to happen when Democrats take the majority?

Assuming we can get it to stick, how does the administration sound on ending NFA and GCA mg registration and the post-’86 ban? ?

Yeah, I know, there I go blackpilling again. Just ignore me and have some rainbow stew.

We’re the Only Ones Transubstantiating Enough

Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said the sheriff’s office fired a deputy after his county-issued AR-15 was used in a New Year’s Day killing. [More]

So, at what point did it magically morph from a “patrol rifle” to a weapon of war only suitable for killing as many people in as short a time as possible?

Perhaps an experiment with a high-speed camera could shed some light…?

What Part of ‘Arms’ Don’t They Understand?

DOJ Tells Court NJ’s AR-15 and Magazine Bans Violates Second Amendment [More]

As much as I point out administration failings, and I do because we have to know how to steer them to do better, I also have to applaud when they do good, and acknowledge no other president and DOJ in my lifetime have even come close to defending 2A like this.

That said, I fear “common use” can turn into a trap so I’m glad to see they also didn’t ignore the Militia aspect in their brief.

Beto Testing

Beto O’Rourke says he does not regret saying he will take away AK-47s and AR-15s while running for president [More]

He still hasn’t fleshed out how for us.

He was speaking as if he had presidential powers, so, say it’s through executive action or even a law he signed– presuming he’s replaced enough SCOTUS justices to reverse Bruen.

Now what?

What’s it going to take to get the guns away from the, say, Three Percent who will say “Hell no, you won’t,” despite seeing some picked off to be made examples of to spook the rest of the herd…?

How far is he willing to go, and what will that do to the smooth running of society?

Career Management

“After a few minutes of conversation, we found out Rob is a huge 2A advocate and was interested in purchasing a few firearms.” [More]

I wasn’t aware of that, but I see this isn’t the first time.

Good. We can use all the high profile help we can get.

It’s nice to see he’s still working in an industry where “coming out” the wrong way can be the kiss of death.

Asked and Answered

But the Second Amendment isn’t an inkblot on the Constitution. It means something. Can that possibly not include a right to own the gun that claims to be America’s bestselling rifle? [More]

Is it an arm?

Then the right of the people to keep and bear it shall not be infringed.

Anyone who says otherwise is just a liar.

FOIA Request Issued to USPS to Determine Cause of Special AR-15 Delivery Delay

“This raises the questions of why the shipment was delayed and why it was completed so soon after that was reported,” the request notes. [More]

Funny, how quickly the shipment was back on track once postal inspectors were told there was a “missing” AR-15 in their system…
