What Government Giveth…

This is the same smug @$$hole who deleted his X account after he called Trump a devil following the assassination attempt.

An Age-Old Question

However, state legislatures have the authority and prerogative, rooted in the Tenth Amendment, to set and adjust the age of majority as they see fit “for the public good”… [More]

This:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

does not override this:

This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

It’s so weird– young people in Marx for Our Lives demanding that the government curtail their rights because they’re not mature and responsible enough to claim them.

‘Inadvertantly’ My… Eye

“This is not a security threat,” Colorado’s Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold told 9NEWS Tuesday…We have layers of security, and out of just an abundance of caution, have staff in the field changing passwords, looking at access logs and looking at the entire situation and continuing our investigation.” [More]

Now that we’ve been caught…

I’m trying to conceive of a situation where this could happen either by accident or incompetence.

Masterpiece Theater

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday to dismiss a lawsuit brought by an attorney who’s been harassing cake artist Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, for more than 12 years. [More]

So it’s not “My life’s work my choice”?

You’ll notice who the cowards haven’t tried to sue.

What are the chances Phillips will be able to recover costs and damages?

What are the chances he won’t be targeted for more harassment?

Bag of Tricks

Elisabeth Epps, Tim Hernández unseated as Democratic legislative primary results are a mixed bag for progressives [More]

Oh, yeah, Sean “Ban weapons of war that have no place on Colorado streets” Camacho and Cecilia “Regulate or ban the sale of assault weapons in Colorado” Espinoza are going to be GREAT improvements. Not.

I’m not getting how anyone could consider the election of more effective enemies a “win. “

Making the Federalists’ Argument Against a Bill of Rights for Them

“If you take ‘the people’ at the founding of the country, that means only white property owners have the right to bear arms,” McHugh said. In that case, McHugh pointed out, neither she nor Stevenson would be allowed to bear arms today. [More]

“Allowed…”?

Ah, the old “rights are granted” fraud. That this ignoranus is sitting on a federal bench is an obscene travesty.

And no one challenged her to show where in the Consitution it said the government was delegated the authority to disarm any free person?

The Impossible Dream

    “Firearm liability insurance” does not exist. By requiring consumers to obtain a product that isn’t available as a condition for legal gun ownership, this bill would essentially ban legal gun ownership by default. [More]

    That’s kind of the point.

    This reminds me of a story I heard years ago about discriminating against black voters in the Jim Crow (Democrat) South, where the sheriff kept a jar of beans at the polling place and administered an eligibility test to guess how many it contained if they wanted to vote.

    Rocky Mountain Low

    In a late-night vote on Saturday, gun-grabbers in the Colorado House of Representatives passed three bills infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. [More]

    Not that “insurance” (which they call “murder insurance” if you get it on your own) will cover actual murder, or that this isn’t just a plot to harass and close down dealers, or that the real sin isn’t coveting your countrymen’s rights…

    And, of course, it won’t affect this one bit, but then again, that’s never been the point.

    UPDATE

    Colorado Politics has more.

    More Than They Can Chew?

    Colorado Legislators Ditch Plan To Ban Guns in Dozens of ‘Sensitive Places’ – The amended bill applies only to schools, polling places, and certain government buildings. [More]

    I don’t suppose it occurs to them that limiting the number of soft targets increases odds at those locales?

    Despised by the Despicable

    Why should someone who desn’t respect yolur right to arms respect your right to petition for redress? Chad Clifford can afford to smirk because he knows he’s in a safe Democrat district.

    Bonus points if anyone knows who my title came from.

    UPDATE

    Points to DDS for Kurt Hofmann. Some of you guessed Vanderboegh, and that’s who he heard it from.
