Preemptive Strike

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), together with the Tennessee Firearms Association, today filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tennessee against the City of Memphis’ newly adopted gun control ordinances, which were passed by voters in direct opposition to the state’s robust preemption law. [More]

The city has real problems and the idiot Democrats in charge squander resources on diktats they know are illegal.

How is that not actionable malfeasance?

A public servant commits an offense who, with intent to obtain a benefit or to harm another, intentionally or knowingly:
(1) Commits an act relating to the public servant’s office or employment that constitutes an unauthorized exercise of official power;
(2) Commits an act under color of office or employment that exceeds the public servant’s official power;

It’s not enough to have to expend resources to kick these bastards’ crap back at them after months and years of court delays. Start making them personally accountable.

Why not follow up this preemptive strike with carpet bombing?

Oh, wait… the Bill Lee administration…

Credit Where Due

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners.

And there’s no link for this yet, but it just came in from SAF:

Am I reading these wrong?

We’ve done this before. Let’s not do it any more.

Sorry or Sorry, Not Sorry?

I spoke directly with Mayor Dowling Watford and Police Chief Donald Hagan. Both profusely apologized and explained that at no point was it their intention to strip the residents and business owners of their Second Amendment rights. [More]

I’d prefer officials do things my way because they share my convictions, but if they just do it out of fear I can live with it.

Trump to GOA

The promise to “listen to GOA” is what we’ll need to remind him of. And he needs to understand there are difference between them and NRA, and why.

Spooks Run Wild

It will be telling if they reply they can’t comment on ongoing criminal investigations.

Due Process First

Just tell me you’ve got Donald on board.

I suppose it’s too much to mention the only law that will work…

Help a Fudd Out?

Thankfully, the House of Representatives has passed GOA-backed H.R. 615 which would END Biden’s backdoor attempt at banning lead ammo. But now, we need your help urging the Senate to stop Biden’s lead ammo ban. [More]

It’s time once more to show we’re not the ones throwing them under buses.

And this one has a chance of passing, too:

Prognosis 52% chance of being enacted

I imagine guys like Tester and Manchin would be hard-pressed to vote against it…

Ahistorical, Atextual, and Nontraditional

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation today teamed up with the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners to challenge the state’s onerous permitting requirements to purchase handguns as well as New Jersey’s arbitrary “one gun a month” law. [More]

You mean states that signed on to the Constitution might have balked if they saw a list of permissible infringements?

Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?

Anti-Gun Billionaire Michael Bloomberg Funds Backing Sheri Biggs in South Carolina’s 3rd District … Biggs has portrayed herself as a political outsider who is “pro-Second Amendment and pro-Trump.” However, one of the PACs backing her appears to come from anti-Second Amendment sources. [More]

The runoff is in a week. It’s up to these guys to set the record straight before then:

Under the Gunfluence

GOA CONDEMNS NEW RADICAL ANTI-GUN POLICY AT YOUTUBE — BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALVIN BRAGG AND ANTI-GUN LOBBY [More]

“As Stephen King said, ‘If your school has banned a book, get to a bookstore or library and find out what it is they don’t want you to know,'” said a comnment poster to this.

So, see? YouTube still allows teaching other important life skills.

One Thing, For Damned Sure

So how come he endorsed Joe Biden?

“Respect it”? Isn’t that what every gun-grabber claims to do, right before showing us their big “but”…?

Explain 2A to us, Dwayne. Now explain which infringements you view as “commonsense” and “reasonable.”

Low information gun owners easily enthused by meaningless buzzwords from self-serving celebrities remind me of nothing so much as this:

With the unparalleled information available to them, there’s no excuse for this. And GOA is supposed to be deeper than this.

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Plaintiffs bring this action seeking a stay of agency action, temporary restraining order, and/or a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo, followed by a declaratory judgment and permanent injunctive relief restraining Defendants from enforcing a Final Rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the U.S. Department of Justice on April 19, 2024, entitled “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms” (“Final Rule”), 89 Fed. Reg. 28968. [More]

This is good work:

COUNT 5 Second Amendment: Right to Keep and Bear Arms 193. All foregoing allegations are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth herein. 194. The Second Amendment provides that “[a] well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 195. The text of the Second Amendment provides no qualifications or limitations constraining who may exercise the right or for what purpose the right may be exercised. Accordingly, the Second Amendment presumptively protects all Americans and all lawful purposes. 196. ATF failed “to justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). Nor can ATF justify its regulation because there is no early American tradition of requiring licensure of gun sellers

Plenty of pundits will be giving you their read on this. Why not read it for yourself?

Challenge to Illinois Assault Weapon Ban Includes Militia Considerations in Right to Arms

“If courts continue to operate under the misimpression that the right to keep and bear arms protects only neutered firearms like break-barrel shotguns and bolt-action hunting rifles, the Second Amendment will offer little but a parchment barrier against tyranny,” the GOA petition correctly observes. [More]

It’s a necesary legal hurdle to clear if gun owners ever hope to challenge the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act.
