In Massachussetts, “Only Ones” are also “qualified” to file an ERPO petition.

A Way to Make It Harder
Dettelbach, in the AP interview, declined to comment on the specifics of Card’s case, which an independent commission in Maine is investigating. But he said it is clear that the nation needs to make it harder for people “that everyone agrees should not have firearms, who the law says are not entitled to have firearms, to get them because it’s too easy to get them now.” [More]
It’s just that there’s this “due process” thing those who would rule us don’t want to have to follow…

And what about where the overwhelming majority of “bad guys” get their guns?
And one of the “ambassadors” is the guy who “defied a court order to turn over lists of officers with multiple allegations of excessive force” and who, as Chi-Town’s top “Only One,” headlined a gun-grab panel with Jesse Jackson and “Snuffy” Pfleger…?
Curious, how registering their site by proxy keeps us from seeing if anyone else is behind the curtain.
You don’t need to walk on eggshells with this Tim Kennedy guy. He’s no pal.

Acting on Russell Brand Accusations without Proof Draws Parallels to ‘Red Flag’ Confiscations
And in Brand’s case, the public furor being incited may be more about leftist policies he opposes, like Covid “denialism” now being painted as a “right-wing signaling trope.” He’s left the reservation. It’s too dangerous to let a previously favored mass influencer do that. [More]

Unclear on the Concept
Restraining the Restrainers
In the Fifth Circuit, the entire Court has ruled, en banc, that rights protected by the Second Amendment may not be infringed by mere civil restraining orders. The unconstitutional infringement was placed into law by the infamous Lautenberg amendment in 1996. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been turned upside down and ruined by this infamous and unjust law. [More]
