The Finest Judges Money Can Buy

Yesterday we explored how Gov. Pritzker of Illinois played fast and loose with campaign finance rules to stack the state Supreme Court he is appealing his “assault weapon” ban legal setback to.

Mom-at-Arms has updated its report to prove a conflict of interest and to cite U.S. Supreme Court precedent:

Bishop On Air says “recuse.” (14:56)

None Dare Call It Treason

Biden Regime Confirms Commitment To “Legally-Binding” Agreement Which Will Surrender U.S. Pandemic Authority To Chinese-Backed World Health Organization “For Generations To Come” [More]

He also says he’s going to ban semiautos.

As noted before, per the Constitution, the Senate needs to approve treaties.

Biased Ruling Supporting Semiauto Ban Enabled by Sham Confirmations

Who but someone willfully deluding herself, a liar, or both, would deliberately ignore that the militia is comprised of citizens “capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time”? Its function was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. And these citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The militia did not assemble on the green bearing torches and pitchforks. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. [More]

And worst of all, this robed … thing … was confirmed by a Republican majority Senate.

One Bite at a Time

Why one popular gun control measure wasn’t part of Colorado Democrats’ reform package [More]

That’s OK– by swindling the public into viewing tyrannical infringements as “reforms,” it’s just a matter of time before the prohibitionists use the incremental position they’ll gain as the launching point for their next incursion.

Forced to Cover Old Ground

The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in the case of Miller v. Bonta, challenging California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” have filed a responding brief in the case, countering defense arguments and strategies already rejected by federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. [More]

California knows that, of course. Anything to impede.

Pinning Down the Pinups

Why Some Members of Congress Are Wearing AR-15 Assault Rifle Pins [More]

Because theatrical gestures are accepted by shallow thinkers as substitutes for meaningful actions?

Forgive me if I read the name “George Santos” and wonder if self-serving motives trump sincerity and why anyone should believe a chronic and habitual liar.

And forgive me if I wonder why Rep. Anna Paulina Luna didn’t see fit to even mention the right to keep and bear arms in her campaign platform.

Any Person

“Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a fourth degree felony.” [More]

“Any person” would seem to include any person traversing the state on these interstates.

But don’t worry. Any person will be protected as a traverser. Maybe.

For this and other “concessions” on illegitimate claims against our birthrights “we” accepted the “voice vote” Hughes Amendment…?

Does any person doubt it will pass?

UPDATE

Gun and Magazine Ban Bills Scheduled for Committee Hearings [More]

NMSSA says “It is absolutely imperative that gun owners speak out on these bills.”

Meanwhile, Over in Al Capone’s Vault…

A “real reporter.”

Rivera, a gun owner, was illustrating that the Second Amendment didn’t cover modern firearms capable of mass killings when the amendment was ratified in 1791. And that AR-15-style rifles go far beyond self-defense. [More]

Ah, the long-debunked “The Founders could have never imagined” bullsh!+.

Figures this moron would be spreading it.

I recall writing an Examiner article years back where a guy was prosecuted for having a muzzleloader in New York City. I can’t find it now and don’t recall the details, but it would be funny if Geraldo incriminated himself.

How he got it in the studio is another question.

And figures, HuffPo would think he won the argument.

Kwame, How I Love Ya, How I Love Ya, My Dear Old Kwame

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul appealed to the 5th District Appellate Court in Mount Vernon Monday to overturn a temporary restraining order against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which bans dozens of handguns and rifles, .50-caliber guns, certain attachments and accessories, and limits cartridges to 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for pistols. [More]

On the plus side, it’ll end up heading to the Bruen court…

Welcome to the Party, Pals

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) joined a federal lawsuit filed today challenging Illinois’s latest ban on so-called “assault weapons.” The Second Amendment Law Center and the Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois are also lead plaintiffs in this suit, along with others as well. [More]

The more the merrier…

Forgive me for wishing we had resolved all this decades ago

Semi vs. Full Autocratic?

“Is he going to enforce our automatic weapons ban if that’s an unregistered weapon?” Stava-Murray said. “He said no, he’s not going to. That seems very dangerous.” [More]

Who does she think she is? Kenny Akers?

Do you think she’s really that ignorant, or is she calculating enough to assist with the lie?

And any bets on if the sheriff will stick to his guns?

Delay of Game

A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the new Illinois law banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines [More]

Related, just to show how worlds apart we are:

“They took an oath of office to enforce the laws of the state of Illinois, and they will do so,” Pritzker said of the sheriffs Friday in Chicago after signing a law protecting abortion and gender-affirming care.

That’s not what the oath is to, but funny how this disgusting pig of a privileged elite domestic enemy now demands his enforcers be “oath keepers”…

That’s not without precedent.

How Can You Tell John Idleburg is Lying?

While I am a believer in our Constitution and our 2nd Amendment, I firmly support the ban on assault-style rifles and I truly hope our federal government follows to ban them nationwide. Since our Constitution and the 2nd Amendment were formed, firearms have become much more sophisticated and much more deadly. Our Founding Fathers were not loading .223 rounds into their muskets. They were not using firearms designed to disintegrate human bodies. As I said following the Highland Park mass shooting, these weapons of war do not belong on our streets. They’re used to kill our police, used to kill innocent people, and used to inflict maximum carnage on their victims. [More]

The hand on the Bible is always a good clue.

Some of the cud-chewers in “Comments” certainly have the government they deserve.

UPDATE:

Never mind that this is illegal under current federal law. But who cares, right? [More]
