Unsettled ‘Science’

Did the assault weapons ban of 1994 bring down mass shootings? Here’s what the data tells us [More]

There IS no reliable data, you agenda-driven junk science dope, which doesn’t stop you from getting everybody stirred up when you know full well most will never read your screed down far enough to see this admission:

It is also important to note that our analysis cannot definitively say that the assault weapons ban of 1994 caused a decrease in mass shootings, nor that its expiration in 2004 resulted in the growth of deadly incidents in the years since.

The only “compelling state interest” here is a disarmed citizenry enabling a totalitarian monopoly of violence.

Well THERE’ a Shocker

Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont: AR-15s ‘Should Not Be Allowed in the State of Connecticut’- Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) is weighing a push to end or repeal a grandfathering clause in a gun control bill in order to force residents to hand over any AR-15s. [More]

Now ask me how sorry I feel for those who registered theirs via obtaining a certificate of possession.

Trust Me, He Knows

Who Wants to Tell California AG Bonta that Access to ‘Weapons of War’ as a Check Against Tyranny is a Core Tenet of the Second Amendment? [More]

Why do you think he and his masters are so bent on destroying it?

I just wish more 2A lawsuits would focus more on the Militia, and how ignoring that facilitates more infringements.

Psychological Lawfare

The federal lawsuit was filed Monday by Everytown Law on behalf of Sandra Torres, the mother of Eliahna Torres, who was fatally shot on May 24 at Robb Elementary along with 18 other children and two teachers. The lawsuit also includes the gun store that transferred the rifle to the shooter as well as police officers and agencies that were on site that day. [More]

Why would those who get away with eviscerating the Second Amendment with impunity give a damn about the First?

There’s no one’s grief these evil, blood-dancing bastards won’t exploit.

Doesn’t Everytown filing this when they know PLCAA is in play constitute a frivolous action designed to extort a settlement for which they could be countersued? It almost seems like a form of insurrection…

About That New Democrat Rush on ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban

I’m seeing an increase in commentators warning about this, what with Biden trolling for headlines.

Back when Rhode Island Red David Cicilline introduced it, the prognosis was a 6% chance of passing.

In its HB 1808 reincarnation, it’s 12%.

Note all 212 cosponsors are Democrats.

Anyone who says that’s not an issue is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

What We Do and Don’t Know about the Colorado Springs Maniac

What we know about the suspect in the Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub shooting [More]

We don’t know if he’s one of those haters they’re presuming he is and then extrapolating that to apply to the rest of us. The photo suggests otherwise, at least in terms of being one of those “white supremacists” we’re told are the greatest threat. Where are the photos of him? Did he or did he not use social media, and if so, got links, or are we once again seeing those being taken down?

By the same token, we also don’t know if he’s just another self-loather.

We DO know that, aside from a renewed “ban assault weapons” blood dance and the not wholly unexpected revelation that he’s been on police and prosecutor radar before for bizarrely violent behavior, the left is also exploiting this to make people afraid to criticize real “all ages” red flags being waved with the potential to provoke low-hanging fruit.

Everybody and their brother in the “gun rights” world are going to be writing about this so I’m going to hold back and wait for more about the @$$hole to become known. At that point, I’ll decide if I have something to say that I don’t see anyone else bringing up.

At this point, I’ll use this post throughout the day as an aggregator if something comes across the transom that’s relevant and new.

UPDATES

The gunman who allegedly killed five people at a Colorado LGBTQ club is reportedly the grandson of a Republican California lawmaker who compared the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol to the Revolutionary War. [More]

Hoo-boy, here we go. Funny, that much they can find out.

A Common Factor

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Delaware’s recently-adopted ban on so-called “assault weapons” on the grounds the legislation—known as House Bill 450—violates the Second Amendment. [More]

Show me a “commonsense gun safety” bill that doesn’t.

Just Singin’ and Dancin’ in the Blood

Within hours of police arresting a suspect in the fatal shooting of three University of Virginia football players, the White House called for an assault weapons ban even though the suspect was alleged to have used a handgun in the killings. [More]

It’s not like anyone ignorant enough to vote for them will know.

Doubling Down

So, I’m not going to change — as a matter of fact, you know there’s some things I want to change and add to. For example, we had — passed the most bipartisan, we passed the most extensive gun legislation, anti- — you know, rational gun policy in 30 years. And — but we didn’t ban assault weapons. I’m going to ban assault weapons. They’re going to try like the devil [More]

Flesh out what confiscating them will look like, Joe.

Weapons of Boar

I was shooting a 6mm ARC rifle… [More]

Hold the phone just a damn second here…

Over at the Wilson Combat site, they say “The 6mm ARC was designed by Hornady to be the highest performance long-range cartridge available in a standard AR platform rifle. Initially tested and fielded by US Special Operations forces…“

“Combat…”?

“Special forces…”?

Mr. Biden’s not going to like that.

You think hogs have Kevlar vests..?

It’s almost like the antis have been lying to us about hunting. Or everything.

I’ve been corresponding with Herschel since like forever, but we’ve never met in real life and I don’t recall if I’ve ever seen a picture of him before. It’s nice seeing him looking vigorous and happy, which, knowing you’ve achieved something through your efforts, perseverance and skill can bring out in us all.

Up in Smoke

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit from Florida’s agriculture commissioner that challenged a ban on medical marijuana patients’ rights to buy and possess firearms. [More]

So when are they going to arrest her?

And no, of course, I don’t agree with the ban. I just can’t help but notice she’d be happy to arrest us for “violating” citizen disarmament laws she agrees with.

I wonder if the “conservative” High Court’s Bruen decision with its “historical understanding” benchmark will end up saving her.

Who Couldn’t See THAT Coming?

Gov. Ned Lamont said this week that he wants to go after thousands of firearms legally kept in Connecticut under several “grandfather” provisions in the state’s decades-old assault weapons ban… [More]

What, the ones Connecticut gun owners naively registered?

Conversion ‘Therapy’

Rand says ATF should consider using its authority to reclassify certain types of firearms that are easily converted into fully automatic weapons, similar to what they did in the 1980s with the KG-9 and the MAC-10. Lots of firearms besides Glocks also are “readily convertible” into machine guns by using tools to reconfigure them or adding parts, she said. [More]

Like VPC has been signaling everyone since 1988:

The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.

Anybody out there still foolish enough to believe the bump stock ban was about bump stocks?

The Dotard in Chief

BIDEN: “My legislation says there can be no more than eight bullets in a round, okay?” 🤔 pic.twitter.com/LxmTk9EjyC— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 24, 2022

And we know who he’ll get to enforce that!

I’m still not clear on something, though: Is that more or less than a “30 magazine clip”?

And Another One

“Nick was the big, rowdy one,” a neighbor of his brother Nathaniel told The Post on Thursday. “He was the big, funny one, a big teddy bear. He was huge. Big guy, but sweet as pie… He is said to have called 911 at 10:29 p.m. and waited with an AR-15-style gun for officers to arrive, according to the station. [More]

My guess is someone who knew him better would describe him differently.
