Securing the Blessings of Liberty, One Shortening of the Chains at a Time

New cars in California could alert drivers for breaking the speed limit [More]

California. Figures.

But it’s for the greater good…

If you use Google Maps directions, it tells you how fast you’re going. And if you’re on a toll road, it knows when you enter and exit, and can calculate speed.

That the latter hasn’t been used to prosecute is simply a matter of timing. And once they get us out of our cars onto public transit, and control the remaining single vehicles by mandating they be “self driving,” it will be a moot point.

A Right Delayed

California already has a law currently being challenged as unconstitutional based on a 10 day waiting period. A new law that just too effect Jan 1 2024 authorizes California to extend that 10 days up to another 30 for transfers. [Watch]

The bastards don’t even pretend to give “shall not be infringed” any notice.

And if someone gets killed while waiting…?

Not Fonda Jane

This directly undermines the memory and sacrifice of the 58,220 US soldiers and 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers who died in defense of freedom and democracy during the Vietnam War, in addition to the millions of Vietnamese civilian casualties as a result of the conflict. [More]

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, it’s instructive to note who’s still spitting on the troops.

We’re the Only Ones Decommisioning Enough

2 Bay Area counties opt not to resell decommissioned police firearms [More]

Paul Miyamoto certainly sounds like a self-important dolt, And talk about an admission that California’s A-rated gun laws don’t work!

So, I guess if the San Jose Police Department and the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Office whine about not having enough money, they could be reminded they had a source of revenue and they turned their noses up at it.

Not that anyone capable of changing anything will…

You Have a Right to Privacy. Now Bend Over

Gun owners in the Golden State weren’t deprived of their Second Amendment nor privacy rights because the state only shares minimal biographical information with two research colleges, a Ninth Circuit panel found on Wednesday. [More]

Which will then be used by “The Hero of Medicine” to give cover for infringements to reach into all of their purchases, records, homes, safes…

Catch-22

Under its new policy, the LA County Sheriff’s Department says people like Turner must apply through their local police chiefs and receive a letter denying them before asking for permission from the sheriff’s department. [More]

Who then comes up with excuses why he can’t do it.

After a death threat and on the advice of an investigating cop who told me they could not do anything unless it was acted on, I carried illegally in California from @ 1981 to 2007 (when I moved back to Ohio), because I literally could not get a permit to save my life (which I did on one occasion simply by presenting).

Start @ 3:27 for my recollection.

The criminals who deserve to be imprisoned and have their lives destroyed are the goddam bastards who forced me to risk my family, freedom, and career.

Lips are Sealed

Blackhawk Manufacturing Group, Inc. (dba 80 Percent Arms) Settles Legal Dispute With California, Upholding Customer Privacy and Second Amendment Rights … Our refusal to disclose customer data, even in the face of substantial legal costs to keep customer data private, underscores our dedication to privacy. [More]

Good on them.

That’s been a real concern with some of these actions.

The New Slavemasters

California lawmaker unveils ‘Genealogy Office’ to decide who’s REALLY descended from slaves and wins reparations payouts – Planned office to decide which residents get payouts, and who’s left hanging Recipients must be descendants of slaves of ‘free black persons,’ papers show [More]

They can tie them in with records going back beyond the Civil War, but asking for Vote ID is disenfranchising?

What if they were owned by these guys?

And can we sue the descendants of the original sellers?

Bonus points if you know the origin of the word.

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions…

California law bars non-residents from carrying a gun. Does that violate the Second Amendment? [More]

No one who is not a prohibitionist would even ask.

Or as Democrat Roger Taney wrote when horrified at the prospect of Dred Scott being considered a citizen:

“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State … and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

Wait… that last link is from Oath Keepers…? What are racist Nazi rightwing insurrectionists doing defending rights for all…?

Stopping the Violence

No one was shot, although every one of those animals deserved ito be — and what it took was an armed citizen. Hey, can they bust him for having a gun?

Why do Democrats force good, productive people to live like this?

And why do good, productive people vote Democrat?

Standard of Care

California’s K-12 Schools Promoting Antisemitism to Children – “Teachers instructing students of all ages that Israelis are responsible for the massacre of their own families on Oct. 7.” [More]

As long as U.S. Jews overwhelmingly support Democrats and consider people like me domestic terrorists, I’m not sure what my expected reaction should be.

And I know it’s verboten to suggest inordinate influence, but let’s look at one of the major driving forces for the sentiment.

The Right of Invaders to Victimize Citizens Shall Not Be Infringed

Reggie & Co. tell us they’re useful idiots without telling us they’re useful idiots.

Migrants Convicted of Violent Crimes Get Free Lawyer Under California Bill [More]

It’s been pulled — for now.

And yes, of course Reggie Jones-Sawyer wants to use force to disarm you, and uses flat-out gaslighting lies to do it:

“Poll after poll shows a majority of Americans want action taken to have gun safety laws in place,” Jones-Sawyer said. “A Right to Safety Amendment to the U.S. Constitution will do exactly that without impeding on the Second Amendment.”

Tell us again how a con-con is just the ticket to restore freedom…

Your ‘Gun Sense’ Judge

The AWCA is constitutional because either: (1) assault rifles are dangerous and unusual and, therefore, not protected by the Second Amendment at all; (2) assault rifles may be banned in accordance with this nation’s regulatory tradition of placing severe restrictions on dangerous and unusual weaponry, including a tradition of outright possession bans that proliferated during Reconstruction when states first became subject to the Second Amendment; or (3) mass shootings with assault rifles pose such an unprecedented societal concern, engendered by dramatic technological development, that California is constitutionally permitted to use a slightly different regulatory method that is still consistent with a general tradition of limiting offensive and unlawful use of dangerous and unusual weapons.

One Step Forward…

The Second Amendment Foundation has been granted summary judgement in a federal challenge of California’s One-Gun-A-Month (OGM) purchase law. U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes stayed his decision for 30 days for the defendants to facilitate an appeal. [More]

And thumbing noses at Bruen will drag on and on and on with the hopes that Republicans blow the election and Democrats can reshape SCOTUS to reverse it.

And here’s the thing:

The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions. It cannot call out the troops or compel Congress or the president to obey. The Court relies on the executive and legislative branches to carry out its rulings. In some cases, the Supreme Court has been unable to enforce its rulings.

I’d need a lawyer to weigh in on whether they could charge inferior court judges with contempt for disregarding their rulings, and they’d still be dependent on the other branches. I fear the only “legal” remedy is impeachment, for which Republicans have neither the power nor the appetite.

So now we have to see what Hayes says in a month, and then see who initiates an appeal, then lather, rinse, repeat.
