It’s the Democrat Way
Our rights should not be held hostage by the failure of Democrats to control crime in the cities they run. Baltimore, one of the cities suing Glock, is a perfect example. That city represents 9% of Maryland’s population, but 38% of the state’s gun-related homicide. Ya guys, sure, Glock did this to you. [More]

About That ‘ Unvarnished Pro-Second Amendment Record…
A law recently signed by Republican Governor Kay Ivey makes it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to possess parts intended to convert pistols into machine guns. [More]

The Glock switch distraction [More]
As a tangentially-related aside, with the death of Gene Hackman happening while I was gone, I caught 2003’s Runaway Jury last night for the first time (co-starring the handsy Little Big Mouth). What a piece of crap primer in cartoonish anti-gun scripting and legal incompetence/ malpractice/ lawbreaking that I recommend seeing if for no other reason than to slap your forehead at the clumsiness of the attacks, and to appreciate how 2005’s Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act shields us from much such subversive nonsense, but not enough.

Poison Ivey
After a violent year marked by multiple mass shootings in Alabama, Republican Gov. Kay Ivey and many lawmakers from both parties are backing a proposed ban on so-called Glock switches and other conversion devices that make semi-automatic weapons fire like machine guns. [More]
Are she and the Vichycons really that stupid? Let’s ask.
Good thing her “commitment to the Second Amendment has never been in question.”

The Treason Coalition
While the lawsuit was only brought by New Jersey and Minnesota, the “larger coalition that will be working together includes 16 states in total,” the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said to Newsweek. These states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as Washington, D.C. [More]
As long as the Supreme Court lets them get away with infringements, it will only get worse.
Until the Justice Department steps up and defends all civil rights from state denials, the only “legal” defense will be what the gun groups can scrape up from the same overburdened donors. I’m afraid Pam Bondi has established a record of being more the type that defends employer infringements. My guess is Trump is more interested in what she can do to squash bugs like Bragg.

I see comments are turned off and it didn’t record my “Down” vote.

Homiecoming King
An arrest has been made in connection with the deadly shooting at Tuskegee University in Alabama, which killed an 18-year-old and left at least 16 people injured early Sunday. Jaquez Myrick, 25, of Montgomery, was charged with being in possession of a machine gun, according to authorities, who said he was found leaving the scene of the shooting. [More]

The Appeal of Freedom
Appeal filed in Kansas machine gun case… In the original order the court dismissed the case after it found “the plain text of the Second Amendment does not cover the possession of machineguns.” [More]

Half Empty or Half Full?
A Bearable Opinion
Let’s hope historical analogues don’t come back to bite us. Rather than digging up what some colony did to infringe in special circumstances or older English law, put the focus on arguments put forth during ratification. We know what the founders meant, and there was nothing ambuiguous about it.
Anybody else having trouble digging up info on the defendant and his Glock switches? I’m wondering if what’s gun owners may be celebrating as a victory is actually part of an effort to turn the public against Bruen.
