Flash in the Pan

They have removed their post but they’re still getting knocked around on X and this will follow them around forever.

No doubt some legal risk management type thought they’d better get ahead of potential product lawsuits with a disclaimer, kinda like Glock distancing itself from add-on switches.

It won’t work, of course, because lawfare in the name of public safety is just a cynical tactic being employed toward a greater strategic goal.

Looks like they were coerced into this by Alvin Bragg.

So… how’s the investigation into his corruption going, and will we ever see his well-larded carcass removed from positions where he can hurt people?

The Phantom Menace

Gun that killed Charlie Kirk… [More]

Words have meaning. Does “conservative” Fox News really not know any better?

…is WWI-era rifle that may be untraceable…

Before serial numbers were a thing…? So “ghost guns” had always been (and still are!) “in common use at the time” until treasonous prohibitionists started defecating all over “shall not be infringed”…?

Never Mind

On Monday, the Sherburne County Attorney’s Office filed court papers to dismiss their case against Matthew Walker Anderson, a Minnesota gun owner who was facing multiple felony charges for possessing firearms that did not have serial numbers. The decision comes just days after the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that state law allows Minnesotans to possess certain firearms that lack serial numbers. [More]

After putting this man through hell for years, all these persecuting bastards can do is play Emily Litella?

Ghost of a Chance

The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that it is legal to possess unserialized firearms so long as they are not required to be serialized by federal law. This is a welcome and uncharacteristic reverence for the Second Amendment, considering the justices are all Democratic appointees. [More]

Not the reason I’d have given, but it’ll work — for now.

Still Tyrants After All These Years

Michigan Senator: Democrats’ ‘Ghost Gun’ Ban Would Have Undercut the American Revolution… In sum, Lindsey said “our nation most likely would not exist” if guns without serial numbers had been illegal at the time of the revolution. [More]

Today’s Democrats would have been yesterday’s Tories.

Supreme Court’s “Ghost Gun” Ruling Accidentally Paves Way For Next-Gen 80% Firearms [More]

Don’t go celebrating the workaround just yet.

Another lawsuit and another injunction and we’re back to Square One. And if “common use” is the new standard, I wouldn’t be looking at “uncommon tools” as a solution.

When Bureaucrats Rewrite Law: What the Supreme Court’s Ghost Gun Ruling Means for Gun Owners & Small Businesses~ Deep Dive [More]

This, and the podcast it reports on, merit wider gun owner congnizance.

The only thing I would add is that those “consistent governing laws” being called for are illegitimate if they infringe.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Whistle)

But this is NOT a major loss for 2A or gun rights. First, it is not a 2A case so it does matter at all to Heller/Bruen analysis. Second, SCOTUS clearly left open the door for Trump to repeal the Biden ATF regulations (or even rewrite them in a very favorable way for the “home-made gun” industry… [More]

Regardless of how it was presented, this definitely is an infringement on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And the next administration can undo any rule change this one makes.

Not the first time I’ve questioned this guy…

Herschel has some thoughts.

Big Win for Pam Bondi!

The Supreme Court sided with the federal government’s effort to regulate so-called ghost gun kits for making untraceable weapons. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for seven justices upholding federal regulation, over dissent from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. [More]

How DOJ squares that with “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” has not been stated.

Ghosts of Michigan

Legislation approved in the Michigan Senate would ban the manufacturing, assembling, selling, purchasing, importing and possessing of firearms or firearm parts that don’t have a valid serial number. [More]

So you not only can’t make them, you can’t keep what you already have.

That goes for you, too, illegals…

Maybe this’ll get Detroit’s number up to “2”…

Reminding the servants of their place would be so much more satisfying if we could order them to clear out.

We’re the Only Ones Educating Enough

Lambert told reporters the department is pushing for state legislation that would make possession of three or more gun parts a misdemeanor, which would allow law enforcement to educate legal firearm owners who may not be aware of the ghost gun issue. [More]

That’s one way to characterize dynamic entries with guns drawn…

The Truth Behind the Garland v. VanDerStok “Ghost Gun” Case

This is not the first time Justice Barrett has departed from conservative views on the Second Amendment, values she represented herself as a staunch supporter of when she was nominated to the Supreme Court by then President Donald Trump. [More]

Except she didn’t, the gun groups did.

As with all SCOTUS confirmation hearings, they don’t ask the tough questions needed to elicit unequivocal answers.

As noted when cautioning against rubber stamping Gorsuch:

Typically in judicial confirmation hearings, nominees have been able to rely on an “out” giving them a pass on answering specific questions… Think of one job you’ve ever applied for where you’d have gotten it if you decided to play coy with the hiring managers. While it may be “inappropriate” for a judge to weigh in on a specific case before confirmation — for legitimate reasons, including not having studied and evaluated all the particulars, evidence and precedents against the “supreme Law of the Land,” — there’s no reason why general principles of understanding should be off-limits. Such hearings are supposed to be, among other things, high-level employment interviews, not pre-coronation ceremonies.

Gun owners may be paying the price for that… again.
