With Republicans Like These

The Federal Assault Weapons Licensing Act, debuted by U.S. Rep. Chris Jacobs (D-NY) on Monday, would create a scheme for any American seeking to legally purchase most new semi-auto rifles, shotguns, or pistols that would require the government to first sign off on the acquisition. [More]

Wrong, Guns.com. He’s an NRA-endorsed Republican and one of the usual suspects. And registration is just the first step toward this lying sack’s real goal.

He’s figured he can’t run again with this level of betrayal, so this is his parting shot at doing as much destruction as possible.  GovTrack doesn’t have a prognosis yet, but my guess is it has less than a 1% chance at passage if the GOP doesn’t blow the “red wave.”

Where does the party find subversive whores like this?

Temporary Relief

U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney, a Biden appointee, issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) on Tuesday against Boulder County. It stops enforcement of the county’s ban on the manufacture and sale of assault weapons, which include the popular AR-15, and ammunition magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds. [More]

So what’s it take to get a PRO?

Timing is Everything

Oregon Safeway shooting: Multiple people dead after gunman opens fire at grocery store… The suspect opened fire in the parking lot with an AR-15 style rifle. [More]

Just in time for the ballot measure!

Note the suspect hasn’t been ID’d yet. My beef with gun advocates who say don’t “give him fame” is that by leaving him anonymous, interested parties can ignore/clean up internet tracks when they have someone who doesn’t fit an exploitable narrative.

30 Days or Else


Sorry. That’s extortion. At this point, it has become appropriate to tell them to go **** themselves. And if half a dozen show up to protest, watch that deemed newsworthy.

Looks like a private group. With 2.8K “members,” my bet is there’s some serious AstroTurfing going on.  What are they trying to hide?

And they don’t appear to be strong enough supporters to all sign the online petition.

This appears to be the guy auditioning for national exposure.

This Ought to Make the Demonization a Lot Easier!

Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Veronica Escobar (D-TX) are pushing the “Mass Shooter Prosecution Act,” which would open mass shooters and their “support networks” up to terrorism charges in the event the shooters use guns Democrats typically label “assault weapons.” [More]

Who do they think they are? Jim Zumbo?

Their Precious Hindquarters

Highland Park Shooter Pleads Not Guilty to More Than 100 Charges, Walking Back Previous Admission [More]

Curious, how their instinct is to defend themselves. It’s almost like you could use that against them during their attack — if you were only “allowed” to…

And just when I thought I couldn’t have any less respect for the parents:

Mr Greenberg fought back against critics via Twitter on Wednesday morning, arguing that the parents are being scapegoated by the “system” when the focus should instead be on easy access to military-grade assault weapons.

Yeah, make it about disarming the rest of us. @$$holes.

The Take Arms from the NFAC Act of 2022

HR 8051 a 1,000% tax on all firearms and magazines listed in the AWB of 2022 bill. [Watch]

They have to use tricks because Donald Beyer Jr. and his 41 Democrat co-traitors behind this know that otherwise there is only a 1% chance of this passing.

Where have we seen such racist edicts pricing firearms out of the reach of discriminated-against populations before?

I wonder if Don’s going to personally tell them…?

‘Ready Succeptibility’

“Whether or not the Rifle used in the Attack was, in fact, modified to fire in a fully automatic fashion, its ready susceptibility to such modification rendered it a ‘machinegun’ as sold, prohibiting its sale to the general public,” the complaint alleges. [More]

That’s why some of us were so adamant against the doors the Trump “bump stock” ban would open. And why I have no patience with point-missing bloviators and their “stupid piece of plastic isn’t a hill worth dying on” ignorance…

Unhatched Chicken Counting

The Dubious and Doomed ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban That the House Approved Today May Cost Democrats This Fall – Recent polling suggests that Americans are starting to recognize that such laws make no sense. [More]

I wish I could share the enthusiasm but I think all it would take is one gun-free zone exploitation the magnitude of Beslan and you’d see a whole different set of survey results, not to mention a panicked Republican red wave-blowing scramble to get out of the water.

Now is no time to relax like the overconfident hare. Press on in earnest like the tortoise.

Never Say Never

The level of GOP opposition indicates the bill is unlikely to advance in the evenly split Senate, where it would require the support of at least 10 Republicans to defeat a guaranteed filibuster. It’s also not clear if the measure has the support of all 50 Senate Democrats. [More]

Forgive me for wondering what kind of new incident would be enough to make it happen.

UNCLE!

I see the emails, social media messages and news tips are backed up from Friday night. After doing my Firearms News article promo, I’m just getting re-started here now because I spent the morning writing an AmmoLand piece on the “Republicans” who voted for the “assault weapon” ban I expect will be out before too long.

Oh, and first I had to deal with the aftermath of yesterday’s large family gathering we hosted. Where’d that crater in the backyard come from, and why are there bullet holes in the basement?

Bottom line– I’ll get to what I can. But I sure wouldn’t mind a slowdown on inputs.

Thank you to those of you who take the time out of your busy lives to reach out and guide me to interesting and important stories I might otherwise miss. I appreciate your understanding.
