Biden pens oped calling for tighter gun laws, ban on AR-15-style weapons [More]
Who thinks he actually wrote it, as opposed to his handlers putting his name on it?
He didn’t even do his own work back before he was senile.

Not Now
The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a request to block state and local laws barring the sale of assault-style weapons in Illinois while a group of challenges to those laws continues in the lower courts. There were no dissents publicly recorded from the unsigned order, nor did the justices provide any explanation for their decision. [More]
I’m going to resist reading more into this for now.

Of course, it’s wrong.
I’m just trying to work up sympathy for companies and citizens that try to comply with tyranny in the first damn place. I’m also wondering why, aside from a few notable individuals like Barrett and Hornady, the industry and its trade association are committed to arming the disarmers.
Oh, It’s the Safety Dance
In particular, the court explained, “the text of the Second Amendment is limited to only certain arms, and history and tradition demonstrate that particularly ‘dangerous’ weapons are unprotected.” Id. at 18. “Because assault weapons are particularly dangerous weapons and high-capacity magazines are particularly dangerous weapon accessories, their regulation accords with history and tradition.” [More]
So it was the Founders’ contention that only “safe” arms were “necessary to the security of a free State”?

More Than One Way to Skin a Cat
America has 20 million AR-15 style rifles in circulation, and more guns than people in the country [More]
No, of course, they don’t have the resources to go after them via the legal system.
Which doesn’t mean they don’t have ruthless plans to eliminate threats to totalitarianism another way…

Democrats Focus on the Gun Rather than A Weak Border After Texas Executions
Another logical question, considering the suspect has repeatedly been described as “Mexican,” that is, a foreign national, would be “Is he an illegal alien, or if not, what is his immigration status?” That’s because ATF includes among its categories of people prohibited from possessing a gun and ammunition: “a person who … Is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States or an alien admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa;” [More]
Forget that he’s an illegal deported multiple times and forbidden by law to have a gun. The grabtards are screaming “Ban assault weapons!” and blaming NRA.

Voting with Their Wallets
“Within 15 minutes, we had people coming in,” Krahl told the Tribune on Saturday. “There was a line outside the door before I could open up this morning. There will be no lunch today, because we’ll be going nonstop.” [More]
When voting with your ballots doesn’t work, there’s always Plan B.
And if the tyrants try to exploit that, Plan C.
Hitting the Ground Running
Responding quickly to the adoption of House Bill 1240 by the Washington Legislature and Gov. Jay Inslee signing it into law, the Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the new statute on Second and Fourteenth Amendment grounds, and is asking the court for preliminary and permanent injunctions. [More]

Caribbean Community leaders have agreed on plans to introduce bans in their countries on assault-style weapons mostly manufactured in the U.S. to curb spikes in gun violence and weapons smuggling in the 15-nation Caricom bloc… However, Davis did not have figures on what percentage of the seized guns were assault-style weapons as opposed to handguns or other weapons that would be unaffected by this week’s proposed ban.

Look at us! We’re DOING something!

On certain firearms being banned over others, McGlynn gave Wells several scenarios. One he gave was of a wife home alone with four intruders… On certain firearms features, like collapsible stocks being banned, McGlynn gave another scenario… [More]
I don’t see how McGlynn can rule against the plaintiffs without showing himself to be cognitively dissonant to the point of being bipolar.
As for Wells, he’s just a damn Judas to his countrymen. All he can spout back are BS platitudes.

And One in the ‘Loss’ Column — For Now
Washington governor poised to sign massive ‘assault weapons’ ban, says it ‘will save lives’ – Bill will ban the sale and manufacture of dozens of semiautomatic rifles in Washington [More]
Because nothing says “security of a free State” like requiring the Militia of the whole people to engage a military threat with inferior armaments.
If SCOTUS doesn’t end up ruling such diktats unconstitutional, it’s game over for peaceful resolution outside of leaving the abusive “partner,” and that’s assuming the power-drunk headcase doesn’t resort to violence if that happens.
Funny, how we don’t call women who leave a relationship under such circumstances “seditionists.”
A Temporary Reprieve
Intolerable Acts
Colorado gun control bills progress; semi-auto ban unlikely … The other gun-control proposals that have found broad Democratic support include strengthening red-flag laws, raising the firearm purchasing age to 21, opening the gun industry up to legal liability and installing a three-day waiting period after buying a gun.

Just like the Founders intended!

The Vichycon Difference!
A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]
Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.
The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.
Does Trump Truly Support the Second Amendment?
[W]e are not doing ourselves or those depending on us to stand for freedom any favors if we deliberately ignore Trump’s willful failures on guns. Because this is going to end one of two ways – strengthening his renewed bid for a return to the White House, or ending any chances of it. If he wins, we need to be able to collectively influence his 2A decisions and judicial appointments and get him to understand what the bad ones are before he makes them. If he loses, we need to be ready to do the same with whomever the Republicans nominate to carry the standard. [More]
Gun owners need to look and assess with no illusions if they hope to have any influence on how power, once granted, is ultimately wielded.
Time’s Up
HB 2005 could be voted in on the House Floor as early as tomorrow. It received its “Second Reading” today. That was the last stop before a vote. [More]
Since this was written yesterday, “tomorrow” means today.
Trust me, time travel is less convoluted than the lying machinations of citizen disarmament fanatics. There’s an Eloi/Morlock analogy in here somewhere.
If I get any future notices later today I’ll go back and update this post.
We’re the Only Ones Uncertifiable Enough
Unless they are cleared by a Commission of Peace Officer Standards, or POST, investigation or succeed in an appeal, the officers accused of serious misconduct including sexual misconduct, fraud, excessive force and abuse on duty will not be able to work as sworn officers for any California police agency. This is an additional punishment to whatever actions prosecutors or their own departments take against them. [More]
What if it was required for gang initiation?
Just a few bad apples, right?
That’s why we issue them “patrol rifles” to take away your “weapons of war.”
None Dare Call It Treason
Both chambers of the Washington State Legislature have now approved a historic ban on the sale of assault weapons in Washington state. [More]
They know they’re doing evil. They not only don’t care, they get off on it.
This will be resolved one of two ways: Either the Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional, or the people who will not disarm will.
What’s the Constitution Got to Do With It?
As expected, the clearly unconstitutional HB 2005, with the -11 amendment passed out of the Ways and Means Committee today on a party line vote. (Even the lawyer who wrote the bill told the committee that it’s likely much of the bill is unconstitutional.) [More]
It’s not that they don’t care that it’s tyrannical. That it is is what they get off on.
A Plan Comes Together
These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures. His failure to report the flights appears to violate a law passed after Watergate that requires justices, judges, members of Congress and federal officials to disclose most gifts, two ethics law experts said. He also should have disclosed his trips on the yacht, these experts said. [More]
Don’t be surprised to see charges from a functionary of the party of citizen disarmament. They need him out before the court takes up “assault weapons.”
