The Takeaway

According to the bulletin, citing law enforcement, Card recently reported mental health issues, which included hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard base in Maine. The person of interest was allegedly committed to a mental health facility for two weeks during the summer of 2023. [More]

So who decided someone this abnormally dangerously disturbed was safe to unleash on the rest of us after two weeks?

Your typical right wing hate machine. [More]

Looks like a “progressive” dream come true… but with his accounts taken down, we’ll just have to take their word for it.

Collective Guilt

“He is unequivocally mentally unstable, and he is racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, vulgar and prone to violence,” Romney said, per the book. “There is simply no rational argument that could lead me to vote for someone with those characteristics. I believe your endorsement of him severely diminishes you morally … and that you must withdraw that support to preserve your integrity and character.” [More]

And remember: Trump is just an avatar.

That’s what My Man Mitthead and the Swamp Vichycons think about anyone who votes for the MAGA agenda.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Repelled Enough

Security video shows three masked men carrying guns shout “Seattle Police” while each trying to kick in the door. The homeowner grabbed a gun and fired multiple shots through the door at the intruders. [More]

Ah, the old Joe Biden Defense worked this time!

Except from the sound of it he may have had one of those guns not suitable for self-defense and made only for killing people…

As always, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need a “He was being such a scary thug I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.

The Same Except They’re Different

The argument that commercially available, AR-type firearms are somehow less dangerous or lethal simply because they fire only in semi-automatic mode is misleading. They retain the identical performance capabilities and characteristics (save full-automatic capability) as initially intended for use in combat. [More]

Oh, is that all? Spread that lie under oath!

Also from the linked Exhibit:

As mentioned previously in this report, many of the firearms prohibited by the Ordinances directly trace their origins to those developed for use in combat. As such, these firearms were never initially intended for general distribution or sale to the public.

Except if we’re talking ARs, and of course he is, guess which one came first:

“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”

Tell me this Yurgealitis trough feeder isn’t cognizant of Founding intent and is incentivized by those who fear that and obscure it through gaslighting.

And tangentially related:

As predicted, they’re taking full advantage of Scalia’s critical error.

In re later “Bowie knives” edicts and the like, does anyone have a record of such laws ever being challenged on Second Amendment grounds and such bans being upheld and/or appealed to a higher court?

A Temporary Respite

The Second Amendment Foundation is celebrating a victory in California as a U.S. District Court judge has declared the state’s decades-old ban on so-called “assault weapons” to be unconstitutional. [More]

Ninth Circuit to f*** it up in 3…2…1…

Scientific American Still More About Political Propaganda Than Objective Truth

“This may entail substantial changes to the American Constitution, or its interpretation, or wider weapons bans than the one that expired in 2004. [More]

Anti-gun agenda “science” = junk science.

About That Pittsburgh Armed Maniac…

Pittsburgh ‘active shooter situation’ reported, police say ‘hundreds of rounds were fired’ – Police reportedly arrived to the scene to serve an eviction notice, leading to gunfire [More]

While literately nothing else is known at this point, look for a narrative-forced emphasis on “assault weapons.”

Garfield?

Once more facts come out and the rest of the preferred narrative doesn’t materialize, look for other factors that aren’t as exploitable to be downplayed and ignored.

Bush AG Gonzales’ Proves Authoritarian Swamp Republicans No Different From Democrats

Gonzales showed what kind of Republican he was back in 2005 when he told the Senate he wanted them to remove Patriot Act restrictions and that he supported Congress extending the expired “assault weapon” ban, pointing out that his brother was a Houston SWAT officer… [More]

It must be a “good” boot to the face if it has an “R” on it. Right…?

More ‘Child Gun Deaths’

Two of the robbery suspects — 19-year-old Anthony Lee and 18-year-old Martavious Henderson — were struck by gunfire and ultimately succumbed to their injuries. [More]

“Lost to gun violence” and “Lost to gun violence.”

I see plenty of virtual candles lit for both, but for some reason, nothing on “occupation” or “workplace”…

I do wonder why the customers took off, because that won’t work out well for them when identified. Still, they did demonstrate that when it comes to stopping multiple predators, a “weapon of war” sure does the trick.

Conflict of Interest? What Conflict of Interest?

Elizabeth Rochford, the judge who pushed Illinois’ “assault weapon” ban over the top, is a demonstrably allied with and beholden to the gun-grabbers and did not recuse herself. [More]

This is the real story, about in-your-face corrupt tyranny, deserving of screaming headlines.

Instead, not a single “#real reporter” working for the DSM (Duranty/Streicher Media) is reporting on this, and like so many stories of import to freedom, we have to learn about it from rights advocates followed by limited niche interests. Meanwhile, as planned and controlled, the general voting public remains blissfully ignorant of what’s being done to them by apparatchiks, deceivers, and those who pull their strings.

An honest “progressive” would object to this. Guess what it means that none has.

Free people cannot coexist with this.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Darren Bailey—a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2022 and who is now running for Congress—threatened to end his own life if cops come to seize his assault rifles after the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the state’s assault weapons ban on Friday. [More]

That’s not what he said, Caitlan Cruz of Jezebel and Yahoo! News, you liars.

That said, the guy needs to channel him some Patton.

Hey, Everybody, Look at Us!

Stunt Legislation: House Dems Propose a 1000% Tax on ‘Assault Weapons,’ ‘Hi Capacity’ Magazines [More]

There is, of course, no chance of passing, so this is just all just cheap attention-seeking noise for headlines by obnoxious communist @$$holes.

If there was a chance, aside from discriminating against low-income minorities who obey the law, that would more than make it worthwhile for murderous cartels to set up shop and send the homicide rate into the stratosphere.

These people are such douchebags.

I See Your True Colors Shining Through

Kennedy said that he would get behind a bipartisan assault weapons ban, which the overwhelming majority of Democrats support, but has little chance of getting through Capitol Hill given widespread GOP opposition. “If we can get a consensus on it, if Republicans and Democrats agree to it and it passes Congress, I would sign it,” he said. [More]

Told ya. Time and time again. That’s basically the whole Second Amendment in a nutshell.

Now would idiot “gun influencers” please stop floating this collectivist as a viable alternative? Because his popularity potential’s gonna backfire on them.

And would they please pull their heads out of their @$$es over the dangers of this…?

That Camel Stuck Its Nose Under the Tent for a Reason

The text of the proposal, introduced last week in the U.S. House as H.R.4283, is not publicly available, but the sponsor’s office says it will increase the long-standing Pittman-Robertson Act excise tax by “just half a percent and apply the federal excise firearms tax to assault-weapon frames and receivers, which currently are not taxed if sold separately.” [More]

That’s the one the Fudds and the industry all sing the glories of, seemingly oblivious to what cancer cells can do when they start to metastasize.

We’re the Only Ones Minority ‘Inclusive’ Enough

A purchase order posted in the city record last week shows that a South Jersey gun dealer is sending the city $91,171.50 in MP5 submachine guns. This follows the department’s $100,000 purchase of 10 sniper rifles earlier this fiscal year. [More]

You know, per Eric Swalwell, “a hand-held weapon of war, capable of spraying a crowd with more lethal fire in seconds.” And the Chicom honey-potted liar was just talking about semi-autos.

With the Rikers population “overrepresented” at “56% Black, 33% Latinx/Hispanic, 7.5% White, and 3.5% Mixed Race,” that means the Democrat administration is prepared to mow down roughly nine times more “people of color.”

Is it me or does that track with the way they vote?

Democrats Pressuring House Republicans into Caving on Guns

Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]

They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.

Consistent with Inconsistency

Illinois’s legal brief seeks to defend their recently-enacted “assault weapons” ban by arguing that the lethality of these semi-automatic firearms means that they may be banned consistent with the 2nd Amendment. Mark Smith discusses this lethality argument here. [Watch]

Because the last thing you want to do when fighting armed attackers is kill them!

Be sure to also open up Illinois’ brief and Smith’s review on Beccaria, linked under the video.

How Do You Get From Here to There?

“We have already recognized in Heller at least one way in which the Second Amendment’s historically fixed meaning applies to new circumstances. Its reference to arms does not apply only to those arms in existence in the 18th Century… just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, the Second Amendment extends prima facie to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding. Thus even though the Second Amendment’s definition of arms is fixed according to the historical understanding that that general definition covers modern…modern instruments that facilitate armed self-defense. [Watch]

Exactly right. What I’m having trouble connecting the dots on is this:

What is that burden that the government has to bear? The government has to come forth to prove that the arms that they want to ban are not in common use.

Ignoring the first 13 words and focusing exclusively on self-defense leaves the door open to saying post-’86 machine guns are not in common use. It also means that new technological developments that the government reserves for itself will never be.

That is what I’d like to see Mr. Smith elaborate on. I believe he’s one of the few who could.

As an aside, I think the first Republican presidential candidate who promised to nominate him if any Supreme Court openings happen would gain a huge advantage with gun owners.
