Wrong on Rights

Dem Rep. Garamendi: ‘The President Is Absolutely Correct, No Assault Weapons’ [More]

This coming from an old subversive who says the way to stop the influx of drugs and criminals is to forget border security, where tens of millions have illegally crossed, and focus on the Coast Guard.

We’re the Only Ones Robotic Enough

A policy proposal heading for Board of Supervisors approval next week would explicitly authorize San Francisco police to kill suspects using robots. [More]

So is a perceived need for this an admission that California/San Francisco citizen disarmament edits are a bust?

I’m waiting for someone to hack into one and have it attack its controllers.

Roach Clip

Harstfield also said the attack on his food truck was a hate crime, as he is black and gay… Tuesday, Hartsfield was charged with both arson and insurance fraud in connection to the fire that destroyed his food truck. [More]

If you can’t trust the proprietor of a vegan roach coach, who can you trust?

I’ll have the Jussie Smollett special served up with a side of irony, noting who he (allegedly) ended up ripping off on GoFundMe…

And we should preserve this before it goes away:

Playing Hobbs

Hobbs wins Arizona governor’s race, flipping state for Dems [More]

Yeah, about that:

In addition to Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona is pretty much now ruled by the high population center Democrat strongholds.

Funny… I don’t see “More Freedom” in any of the reasons the nest foulers give for moving there.

Speaking of ‘Every Terrible Implement’…

Large-capacity magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not essential to the use of firearms… Additionally, large-capacity magazines are not protected “arms” because they are not commonly used for self-defense. [More]

Since that directly follows an “Overview of Bruen’s text-and-history standard for analyzing Second Amendment claims,” I wonder what Tench would say to that…?

Legal weasel Rob Bonta proves the point that if you limit arguments to “self-defense” and ignore core purpose, you’re not using every means at your disposal.

We’re the Only Ones Dated Enough

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith. [More]

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”

In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

We’re the Only Ones Resigned Enough

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith informed the Board of Supervisors in this one-line letter that she was leaving office effective Monday. [More]

Maybe if she goes quietly no one will ask any questions about “underrepresentation.”

Too bad. The “real reporters” could have had an “EXCLUSIVE” worth putting in all caps.

‘What Difference, at This Point, Does It Make?’

Where Does Brian Dahle Stand On Gun Control [Watch]

It’s not like he dares tell you on his campaign website…

His voting record shows he doesn’t support bans, but I would argue with him on expanding “prohibited persons.”

He’s not bad on the issue that’s not the “single issue,” too.

Bottom line: He’s a damn site better than the domestic enemy currently ruling.

But California is lost “thanks” to what no gun group wants to talk about.

A Mugged Liberal

Calif. woman recalls attack, rape by homeless man — released from jail hours earlier [More]

Sorry, Marissa, but I look at all your Facebook “likes”/influencers like Bernie Sanders, SNN, George Takei, the Huffington Post, and Rachel Maddow, and I’m not seeing anyone offering any solutions that could have helped you or will stop this from happening to someone else.

You’re in Good Iron Fists

Gun owners in the nation’s 10th largest city who disobey a requirement to carry liability insurance and pay a yearly fee will have to fork over up to $1,000 in fines as part of San Jose’s unique and controversial push to combat gun violence — a novel legislative approach that has triggered a challenge in federal court and has 2nd Amendment supporters up in arms. [More]

It’s not so novel– as with all “progressive” ideas, we’ve seen comparable tyrannical outrages like poll taxes and gun registration abuses before.

Licky Licardo & Co. just put a new mask on it.

Do they even have who the lucre goes to worked out yet? I want to start a pool on how many years it will take for whoever runs it to be exposed for embezzlement.

Actually, it will probably never get that far because it is so clearly unconstitutional and in violation of Bruen’s “historical understanding.” This is just protracted harassment and delaying tactics by official subversives who can spend all the plunder they want on drawn-out legal challenges and appeals, knowing that to fight it, their opponents will need to dig into limited and stretched-out financial resources.
