Prosecuting Trump on Gun Charge Could Backfire ‘Bigly’

If they go after him on it, Democrats know such a charge would almost certainly make it to the Supreme Court. Considering all the complications the Bruen text, history, and tradition standard is throwing in the path of gun prohibitionists in the inferior courts, such charges – like those against Hunter Biden – could very well find such edicts unlawful violations of the Second Amendment.

Special Counsel Jack Smith makes a threat his masters may be afraid for him to make good on.

Not to Put Too Fine a Point on Things, But…

“We already know the President took bribes from Burisma. I also want to add, betraying your country is treason.” [More]

They’re going after Trump with scorched earth lawfare backed by the might of states in collusion with the feds.

You can’t counter that with committee meetings the DSM either ignores and/or misrepresents/condemns.

Brace Yourselves

In yesterday’s observation on Trump opening the door to further legal woes, this time on guns, the story I linked to did not mention another bit of information some gun “influencers” are excitedly announcing, that he says if elected he’ll “take care of” the pistol brace ban.

Sorry to curb anyone’s enthusiasm, but I’m not getting a full-throated and focused pledge out of this:

Trump a Prohibited Person?

If Trump had bought the glock, [sic] there would have been questions about the legality of him buying it. [More]

Possibly. Even though ATF doesn’t list it, [CORRECTION: They cite it under the list] there’s the 18 U.S.C. § 922 prohibition (assuming you can navigate through the amendments) but then there’s the Texas judge’s Quiroz ruling…

Beats me. If I were him I wouldn’t let anyone photograph me holding a gun without advice of counsel. I wonder if that will be used against him.

But by assuming he would have tried to buy it at the SC gun shop without having it go to an FFL in his state, they apparently missed the main question.

Do as We Say, Not as We Do

Some nonprofit groups — including Free Speech For People and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) — are moving forward with a push to get states on board with their argument and are preparing lawsuits as the Republican presidential primaries near. [More]

It’s like they went out of their way to make their names sound Orwellian…

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime?

Judge Timothy Kelly sentenced Marine Corps veteran Zachary Rehl to 15 years to life in prison for being in the wrong place at the wrong time — walking through the Capitol building for approximately 20 minutes during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6… Rehl committed no violent crimes on Jan. 6. He walked through the Capitol building on Jan. 6 for merely a few minutes, took a selfie in the building then left the Capitol grounds. [More]

I wonder why “conservative” media neglects to mention who appointed Kelly…

Contradiction in Terms

How does the John Kerry saying go?

He was for it before he was against it?

An angry reader canceled his Firearms News subscription and had some choice words for me about this.

He must have only read the parts he wanted to before storming off, like the title, because I thought I’d explained myself:

This is not an exercise in piling on and kicking a man when he’s down, nor an invitation for the wrong-headed rebuttal common among those who still think the guy is some kind of Second Amendment 4D chess master, “Would you rather [insert Democrat gun-grabber here] were president instead?”

No, of course not. By the same token, we 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.

Denying reality, complimenting the Emperor’s exquisite, nonexistent wardrobe, and attacking observations so simple a child can see them not only guarantees more destructive disappointments, it aids and abets the rights swindlers who will take infringements any way they can get them.

It also, ultimately, hurts Donald Trump’s candidacy. The people he needs the most — those who can think beyond the self-promoting rhetoric — know when it’s not raining.

But I don’t suppose it’s in the guy to ever admit he’s been wrong about anything, show he understands why he was wrong, apologize, and detail how he’s going to fix the damage and then make it better… and that’s too bad for all of us.

Bush AG Gonzales’ Proves Authoritarian Swamp Republicans No Different From Democrats

Gonzales showed what kind of Republican he was back in 2005 when he told the Senate he wanted them to remove Patriot Act restrictions and that he supported Congress extending the expired “assault weapon” ban, pointing out that his brother was a Houston SWAT officer… [More]

It must be a “good” boot to the face if it has an “R” on it. Right…?

We Haven’t Committed Genocide… Yet

“The National Shooting Sports Foundation challenges a new state gun law as violating its members’ constitutional rights. But we see little evidence that enforcement is looming,” wrote Judge Stephanos Bibas, a former President Trump appointee. [More]

I rest my case. Even if “Bubba” says it’s stupid because he made a kneejerk assumption and missed the point.

Only in the Minds of Racists Like Ed Pilkington

Fani Willis, the Fulton county district attorney in Georgia who is prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 other allies over efforts to overturn the 2020 election, is facing a flurry of racist online abuse after the former president attacked his opponents using the word “riggers”, a thinly veiled play on the N-word. [More]

Note what this is filed under. They presume to read (more like invent) intent — and convict on that.

Just like “find the votes.”

That’s why I call these tools the DSM.

Ol’ Ed would get along famously with Marshall Brown.

Trump’s Georgia Prosecutor is a Typical Leftist Gun Grabber

“I think we have to have some serious conversations about something that’s not popular. Everybody doesn’t need a gun.” [More]

Why would an arrogant official who thinks citizens don’t “need” a gun think they need any other rights?
