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”…?

‘Common Use’ Challenge to Denver Semi-Auto Ban Misses Important Point

551959 common use denver semi auto ban shutterstock 2721204239 hero 1200x800

“The City has banned an arm in common use for lawful purposes by law-abiding citizens. Therefore, the Ordinance violates the Second Amendment.”

That’s not why the ban violates it. [More]

If something needs to be officially designated “popular” by government in order to be “legal,” we may as well start calling each other “Comrade.”

You Gotta Start Somewhere…

This means that of the three percent of U.S. homicides carried out with rifles, a portion might have been carried out with lever actions, another portion might have been carried out with bolt actions, another portion with pump actions, another with semiautomatics, and yet another with AR-15s, etc. [More]

Don’t worry. The grabbers want to ban handguns, too.

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.

Bending the Truth

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said Monday the city will not bend the knee to a legal threat from the U.S. Department of Justice over the city’s longstanding assault weapons ban. [More]

That’s some industrial-strength gaslighting right there.

Anybody else getting an Iran vibe out of the administration offering a deal and having it rejected out of hand by people who think they can hold out until the clock runs out?

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…?

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.

No Legitimate Boarding Purpose

Hudson man accused of beating grandmother to death with skateboard, also injuring father and sister [More]

Not my Hudson, but if Antifa blue hairs were involved I’d see where crazy begets crazy.

So now we have assault skateboards and skateboard violence? Hey, they’ve already got “commonsense skateboard safety laws.”

Gettin’ kinda crowded in here on what people can’t be trusted with.

When I had mine, they were still called “sidewalk surfboards.” It never did occur to me to kill anybody with it.

An Unqualified Opinion

Oh, look: False authority. Lemme show you what I mean.

Meet self-identified Korea/Vietnam vet Paul A. Ransom, who “expertly” informs us:

The explosive in a bullet is the same as the explosive in a bomb. Just a smaller amount. Bombs are under tight control. Bombs can be purchased, but not without the proper credentials. We as American citizens have the right to bare arms, but nothing in the Constitution gives us the right to have a bomb or bullets. 

Remember who one of our greatest “war heroes” once was.

Worth Repeating

This comment:

Chief Patron of HB217, Del. Helmer, is on record saying they want them all gone. Helmer, a Jew, clearly is not familiar with JPFO, or the history of disarmament of Jews in the 20th century, and the consequences thereof.

And not just these. He and his treasonous kind want them all but most are politically savvy enough to know that it’s too soon to show all theirs cards.

Not to criticize my friend Aaron Zelman, who is no longer around to offer rebuttal, but “bagel brain” is too excusing of evil. That Helmer has a distinguished military career makes it worse, in a Benedict Arnold kinda way.

Another thing worth repeating: When the hell is SCOTUS gonna slap down such nonsense and put an end to it? Because if they don’t do it before Republicans hand over the keys in the midterms and ’28, all those gun owners who didn’t vote and made this outcome inevitable are going to find out what doing it the hard way entails.

Of Course You Realize This Means War

Proposed Minnesota legislation HF 3433 (often associated with HF 3434) includes provisions that would allow law enforcement to conduct warrantless, at-will inspections of private homes to ensure compliance with storage regulations for registered “semiautomatic military-style assault weapons” (SAMSAWs)… To retain previously owned semiautomatic rifles, owners must agree to allow law enforcement to inspect their home storage at any time without a warrant. [More]

“Registered”…?

Not for tyrants and traitors I won’t.

If you can ignore the Second Amendment, you don’t have to worry about the Fourth. Or the First. Or…

O Canada

Who were the 30 pu$$!e$?
