Then and Now

 Landing at Johnson’s Ferry, the Continental Army still faced an arduous nine mile march to Trenton as the storm continued with a vengeance. Reaching Trenton in the early morning of December 26th, the American Army surrounded, defeated and captured over 900 Hessian mercenaries and secured a morale boosting victory of immeasurable proportions.

Latter day Tories can’t have that.

Speaking of a Public Nuisance…

“These may be the first two lawsuits filed by the Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement office, but they will not be the last,” Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin (D) said in a news conference. “We’re putting everyone else in the gun industry on notice.” [More]

So you deserve to get raped because of that short skirt you wore and how dare you direct citizens to where things are legal…?

This Platkin creature is quite the zealous little fascist. It seems personal.

You know how you can tell he’s lying…?

Yes, That’s a ‘No’

U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing or receiving a firearm. [More]

I can’t wait for him to flesh out his enforcement plan.

What we need to know (for now):

Text- Not available yet.

5 Cosponsors (5 Democrats)

Prognosis 2% chance of being enacted (details)

Communist, eh...?

Are you sleeping, bourgeoisie?

About Those Tangling Alliances

“In light of the compelling and urgent testimony provided, I respectfully urge you to immediately clarify that the United States does not tolerate, facilitate, or participate, in negotiations over genocide, and to publicly inform Azerbaijan that unless it immediately lifts its blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh, the U.S. will take action through the United Nations to refer the matter to the International Criminal Court for investigation and prosecution,” Smith wrote to President Biden in a Thursday letter. [More]

Involve us with the UN in foreign enforcement interventions involving a nation having “closest friendship and trust links” with Russia, meaning add more pressure to tensions ready to explode over Ukraine, and at the same time undermine that which the Founders knew to be “necessary to the security of a free State” enough to get endorsed by the Brady PAC

Chris Smith of New Jersey: For Democrat economic and immigration policies and also endorsed by Gabby Giffords!

What a steaming load.

Remember that when you get solicitations from WIN Red for other candidates.

Sensitive to Tyranny

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s “sensitive places” statute have filed a response brief to the state’s appeal. The case is now known as Koons v. Platkin. [More]

So “rights-free zones” weren’t part of the compact?

We Haven’t Committed Genocide… Yet

“The National Shooting Sports Foundation challenges a new state gun law as violating its members’ constitutional rights. But we see little evidence that enforcement is looming,” wrote Judge Stephanos Bibas, a former President Trump appointee. [More]

I rest my case. Even if “Bubba” says it’s stupid because he made a kneejerk assumption and missed the point.

Jersey Devil in the Details

New Jersey’s New “John Wick” Carry Permit Training Mandate [More]

How much competency must a citizen demonstrate in order to vote and be protected by any of the other Amendments?

One question I did not see addressed, so perhaps one of you who knows will educate me in “Comments”: If an “Only One” fails the test, how soon (and often) can they retake it, and does the same standard apply to “civilians”?

One more question: Who thinks Newark triggermorons give a damn?

Who will Judge the Judges?

A federal appeals court has restored most of New Jersey’s new gun control laws limiting firearms in sensitive public places after overturning a lower court ruling blocking many restrictions while a legal challenge plays out. [More]

Here’s the order. If someone gets killed as a result of it, I wonder how much sleep the judges will lose.

Krause was appointed by Obama and Chung was appointed by Biden. The one that concerns me here is Porter, appointed by Trump.

Colleague José Niño examines the varied and in-your-face ways states are getting away with undermining the right to keep and bear arms and gets some quotes from one of my favorite people along the way…

Newark cardinal asks Americans to voluntarily forgo right to guns [More]

After all, where better to take our moral guidance from than the Archdiocese of Newark?

Here’s a better idea: You guys first.

There’s something more than a little bit blasphemous about a fool presuming to speak with true authority. So naturally, they’re talking about making this moron Pope.

Figures.

FPC Legal Alert

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against numerous parts of New Jersey’s Bruen response bill. Read the 235-page opinion in our lawsuit… [More]

I’ll have to get to it later. If you’ve got time to read it today, feel free to give the Cliff’s Notes version in comments.

How Could This Have Happened?

The state attorney general’s office is now the lead investigating agency in this quadruple shooting. As we wait to learn more about the victims – including that 7 year old child – and the circumstances that led to this tragedy. [More]

Any bets the perp won’t be well known to “the system”?

We’re the Only Ones Kidnapping Enough

Then her father did “what any dad would—he went to hug his crying kid,” says Kaplan. “And at that point he was arrested. With handcuffs.” [More]

What can I say but “New Jersey“?

Things sure have changed since I was his daughter’s age. Kids playing unsupervised outside was the norm back in the days before widespread Ritalin prescriptions, school shootings, “single mothers,” DEI, “groomers,” and “gender dysphoria”.

The Incompetent Kleptocrat Getting Free Publicity Act of 2023

For this reason, I will be introducing the Safer Neighborhoods Gun Buyback Act of 2023… [Watch]

If at first you don’t succeed, right, genius?

Democrat constituents do it to themselves– and not just politically.

The object is to not let them do it to the rest of us.

Desensitizing

The specific additional “sensitive places” designations that are challenged in the amended lawsuit include parks, beaches, recreational facilities or playgrounds or areas owned or controlled by a state, county or local government unit, plus youth sports events, an airport or public transportation hub, and various health care facilities. These areas were designated “sensitive” because the New Jersey Legislature was determined to “continue minimizing the carry of handguns as much as possible,” the lawsuit notes. [More]

Honestly, who ever heard of anyone being attacked in any of those places?

Curses, Foiled Again!

A federal judge on Monday extended an order preventing New Jersey officials from enforcing the state’s sweeping new concealed carry restrictions, dealing another blow to a law championed by gun control advocates, Gov. Phil Murphy and his allies in the Legislature. [More]

And he’d have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for you darned activists!
