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.

Two from Gunpowder Magazine

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…

Ruse of the Fisherman

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.

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!
