We’re the Only Ones Unfit Enough

Maryland Police TAXPAYERS To Fork Over More Than $2 Million Back Pay To Female, Black Applicants Who Couldn’t Pass Tests [More]

I had to fix that headline.

It makers fair the question how long a swelf-destructivel species that prioritizes advancement of the least fit over survival of the fittest can avoid extinction.

Any questions on Merrick Garland’s DOJ being enemies of free people?

None Dare Call It Treason

Leaders in Frederick, Maryland, Approve Voting by Non-Citizens in Local Elections- “Alderman Ben MacShane said he was excited to support the change as a way to value and include everyone in the community.” [More]

Makes sense. Funny, how you never find one of these types who don’t also want your guns.

The guy just oozes, doesn’t he?

Bizarrely Unconstitutional

Attorney General Labrador Leads 29-State Coalition Against Maryland’s Bizarrely Unconstitutional Gun Ban [More]

Changing the subject, there’s a case study to refute Vichycons for Harris here– Larry Hogan was a moderate lump. Yet Democrats paint him as ““recruited by extreme Republicans to run for the Senate.”

They’ll exploit the hell out of such useful idiots’ betrayals and then line them up by the limepit when they’re no longer useful.

Less is Moore

Wes Moore says he regrets not correcting interviewers who called him a Bronze Star recipient [More]

Yeah, while getting caught in a lie of omission won’t hurt you with a home crowd dumb enough to vote for you in the first place, it can hurt broader national ambitions. Although with today’s Democrats, who knows?

Funny, the character of people who don’t trust us…

A Public/Private Partnership

This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]

Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.

I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

Just Like the Founders Intended

A U.S. appeals court on Friday upheld Maryland’s licensing requirements for people seeking to buy handguns, saying the law remained valid even after a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2022 that expanded gun rights. [More]

Anybody know which clause from Bruen Obama-appointee Barbara Milano Keenan cherry-picked to justify a clear prior restraint?

Race to the Top

A challenge against Maryland’s gun ban is likely to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court before gun ban challenges from other states. [More]

Sadly, all the high court has to do to let it stand is nothing.

If they do hear it, it will be a game-changer, but it will still leave the more fundamentally destructive NFA and Hughes Amendment in play.

Then there are the questions of when will they hear such a case, and who will be in power and appointing justices?

A Reagan Republican

A federal appeals court upheld Maryland’s ban on assault-style weapons Tuesday in an opinion that found regulating “excessively dangerous weapons” compatible with the Second Amendment. [More]

WarOnGuns has obtained an exclusive photo showing the legal contortions necessary for J. Harvie Wilkinson III to do that.

A Reagan appointee…

I wish I could say I was surprised.

A Line in the Sand

[T]he Court will permanently enjoin Maryland’s laws restricting the carrying of firearms in locations selling alcohol for onsite consumption, private buildings without the owner’s consent, and within 1,000 feet of a public demonstration. State Defendants’ Cross Motions for Summary Judgment will be granted as to the Kipke Plaintiffs’ Fourteenth Amendment claims, as well as the claims regarding: State Parks; mass transit facilities; schools and school grounds; museums; stadiums; healthcare facilities; government buildings; amusement parks; racetracks; and casinos… [More]

You can be trusted with your rights on this side of the line. On the other side, everything changes. Don’t ask us how or why, just accept that fact that if you disobey we may end up killing you.

Hogan’s Zeroes

Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan is warning Republicans in Washington, D.C., that he won’t be a reliable vote if Maryland chooses to send him to the Capitol. In a new TV ad aired Tuesday, the former Maryland governor stressed his bipartisan bona fides. “In the Senate, Republicans can’t count on my vote. [More]

Then what the hell good is he?

Not much.

Delay of Game

Maryland’s “assault weapon” ban has been kicked back up by the panel for en banc review by the anti-gun Fourth Circuit, meaning it’s going to take the Supreme Court to sort this one out — and all they have to do to leave this gross denial of rights in place is nothing. [Watch]

The Poll Tax Workaround

Maryland is among the states looking to follow California in taxing the gun industry to support hospitals, violence intervention programs, and services for victims of gun violence. [More]

All the best totalitarian regimes do it!

It’s not like Democrats are going to penalize the real cuprits: Their constituents and themselves.

Here’s the video of the hearing. Too bad it doesn’t have a transcript to allow homing in on specific “data” lies, and exposing those at the committee level is something funded “gun groups” ought to be putting resources into.

I did get one laugh out of this:

Chip is a reporter at The Trace…

Good one!

His Name was Duncan Lemp

…Duncan Lemp was wrongly killed in his own bedroom thanks to the same policies that President Biden champions for the nation. [More]

I’m not often left with nothing to add, but the brilliant writer James Bovard has pretty much said it all here.

This is the evil we face at the personal level from “our own” government.

Be outraged, be horrified, and be warned. This could have been me, this could have been you. And the DSM would have parroted the state’s narrative as the prohibitionists high-fived themselves on X and made small d!ck jokes.
