Bullet Points

“Another Backdoor Attempt at Registration” – GOA on Ammunition Background Checks [Watch]

I see the Newsmax hostess is a little uneasy with the prospect of NO prior restraints/confiscation enabling. If they need convincing, imagine the mindset of the general public that has only been exposed to the DSM.

Who are the Democrats and what is the name of the bill?

It would help if there was a corresponding post on GOA’s website identifying it by number and sponsor so we could see what it says and also check Govtrack for a prognosis on odds of enactment and the need to prioritize and spend energy on it now.

Most of the stuff I’m seeing coming from both sides is pre-midterms posturing to spook respective low-information herds.

GOA and GOF Legal Updates

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a preliminary injunction yesterday against a Winchester, VA ordinance that prohibits the possession, carry, or transportation of firearms at public parks and in public areas where approved demonstrations are occurring. [More]

You take a look at the history of the place and you’ve just gotta shake your head at what those who live there now have done to it.

UPDATE

Also in this post:

Philadelphia, PA – Yesterday, lame-duck Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order prohibiting individuals from lawful carry at all City of Philadelphia recreational facilities. The mayor’s actions are in clear violation of Pennsylvania law prohibiting these types of local gun restrictions. Within hours of Mayor Kenney’s signing ceremony, Gun Owners of America (GOA) filed a lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of this illegal gun regulation.

Let’s Do It Again!

Yesterday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) re-filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of New York over the poorly named Concealed Carry Improvement Act, which took effect September 1st. Several additional plaintiffs who are willing to break the law or are currently in violation have joined the lawsuit, which was originally filed on behalf of a GOA member from Schenectady County. [More]

I posted this to my WoG Placeholder site because all that’s up on the GOA site at this writing is their July announcement.

Youth Must Be Served

To promote the education, protection and exertion of students’ inalienable right to keep and bear Arms. [More]

Is it just me or does this feel like your grandma gave you a book?

The idea is needed, I don’t mean to be negative, and Lord knows I’m the last one to consider myself competent in graphic design or young adult outreach, but I’m trying to imagine how what I’m seeing here will excite and inspire anyone under 40. Or over, for that matter.

I hope some young people with expert communication and technical execution skills help them across the street with this.

The NICS Self-Incrimination Form

Thus, pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 40901(e)(1)(D), we hereby notify you, and thereby make you “aware” that the “basis” on which signers of the NICS Indices Self-Submission Form have been reported to NICS “does not apply.” Thus, pursuant to you your duties under the statute, we respectfully request that the FBI: (i) identify and “remove” records from its “database” relating to those who have signed the FBI form; (ii) that the FBI (under the authority of the Attorney General) “remove” the offending records from the NICS system;4 and (iii) that the FBI halt its use of the illegal and unconstitutional NICS Indices Self-Submission Form. [More]

Funny, how the form doesn’t include a Miranda warning that anything they sign can and will be used against them in a court of law and that they have a right to an attorney. The workaround appears to be that the signers haven’t been convicted or “adjudicated” of anything (yet).

You’d think the FixNICSers would be focused on industry customers being tyrannized and coerced instead of cheerleading registration-enabling prior restraints imposed by their “partners.”

Any bets on getting the requested reply in 30 days, or do Christopher Wray et al. figure as long as Democrats control things there’s no danger of personal repercussions, they have an inexhaustible legal war chest at their disposal, and if the Republicans do manage not to blow it, the “leadership” won’t pursue things thoroughly enough to actually punish anyone?

Or will they get right on it as soon as the frog march Hunter Biden for lying twice?

Sensitive, Aren’t We?

In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on July 1 signed a law that criminalizes the concealed carry of guns in airports, houses of worship, Times Square and other sensitive places, prompting a swift legal challenge. Gun Owners of America is one of several plaintiffs who are urging a federal judge in Syracuse to block the New York law before it takes effect on Sept. 1. [More]

Not satisfied with a patchwork quilt of “gun-free zones,” Hochul & Co. are going for a Rubik’s Cube.

I see Stephen Stamboulieh got ink.

Past Time if You Ask Me…

We need the South Carolina Republican Party to censure Graham for his sell out. [More]

This is for more than just “registered Republicans” and Palmetto State gun owners because what this guy does affects us all. The email option isn’t the only way to reach them. Pick one that works for you. And include others.

I’m starting with the head of the party.  And GOP National. And NRA

Like so

A Team Effort

On Monday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration’s “Ghost Gun” and Gun Registry Final Rule, which will go into effect on August 24. Today, GOA and GOF were joined by the Attorneys General of 17 states in the filing: Arizona, West Virginia, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

I’d give you a link but at this writing, it has not yet been posted on the Press Center page. I’ll update when I have it and as I have time.

An Uncollectable Win

GOA AND GOF SUE NEW YORK OVER NEW CONCEALED CARRY RESTRICTIONS [More]

A right delayed… and until they’re stopped, they’ll keep inventing new ways to deny and continue kicking the can down the road to nowhere.

This is what preemptive surrender Republicans don’t get. Democrats fight every inch of the way. They don’t give, they take. And then come back for more.

At Issue

Particularly after Heller and McDonald, as recently reaffirmed by Bruen, the government certainly cannot prevent Petitioner from exercising his Second Amendment right to keep firearms in the home. And the Second Circuit may not use Torvicia’s exercise of that constitutional right to render him vulnerable to government searches and seizures of his
firearms which violate Fourth Amendment protections but for some atextual, judge-invented special needs exception. [More]

“Single issue” apologists and flat-out deceivers take note.

Gun Owners Can Make an Example Out of GOP Turncoats

To utterly reject Lisa Murkowski and send her packing will send shock waves through the Swamp and let the rats who betrayed us know that we’re coming for them when it’s their turn in the barrel. [More]

Kelly Tshibaka appears to be a viable alternative to the wretched Lisa Murkowski around which gun owners can provide an object lesson to the GOP. I encourage you to check her out.

Developing a Workaround

After months of preparation, we are ready to go public with our explosive report on the ATF’s nefarious gun registry. After pouring over hundreds of pages of secret documents that we were able to secure through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we have found undeniable proof that the ATF’s registry – which they claim is only used to trace firearms used in crimes – is indeed a centralized and searchable registry of gun owners in total violation of the law. [More]

Curious, how the Democrats who want to impose new laws will break laws to do it.
