Securing the Blessings of Liberty, Letitia James-Style

Read Letter From NY Attorney General Letitia James Threatening Church Hosting Trump-Friendly Event [More]

This is what happens when the balances to keep government psychopaths in check have eroded.

This is what happens when GVE rule is politically unchallengeable.

It doesn’t leave freedom-minded people much other choice, does it?

A Real Red Flag

“Governor Hochul made the announcement in Suffolk County where the County Sheriff’s Office is reporting a more than 75 percent increase in utilization of the Red Flag Law over the last three months.” [More]

And, of course, they’ll be prepared to handle the increased caseload to preclude drawn-out delays with rights denied…? I wonder if anyone will be keeping track of people caught up in the net being victimized…

“Take the guns first, due process second,” Mr. President?

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.

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town!

Girlfriend of thug who was stabbed to death by New York City bodega worker WON’T face charges for knifing him three times because ‘prosecutors say she was defending her beau’ [More]

The poor worker is not so lucky.

And the productive sector not only puts up with it, they vote their collectivist oppressors in.

At least tell me she’ll still be able to get all the abortions she wants…

And tangentially-related:

NYC releases PSA for residents in the event of a nuclear attack [More]

Radioactive flesh-eating zombie apocalypse to follow. People on the other side are going to block off the bridges, right?

Does kinda make you wonder who knows what…

Not Up for Debate

Has The Constitutional Right to Bear Arms Outlived Its Usefulness? Intelligence Squared Debate [More]

More like Square-Rooted. A Pynchon quote comes to mind. Who but someone who misses the point, or more likely, wants you to, would ask such a question?

I like the way they kick the whole thing off by spreading an unchallenged “Constitution gives rights” fallacy, following that up with a mention of Heller, which specifically repudiated that by citing Cruikshank.

I find it telling that RealClear Politics picks now to resurrect a 2013 video to republicize the results:

Nothing like picking a conditioned and insulated New York audience with confirmation biases making them immune to reasoned evidence to guarantee an outcome.

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

Man jailed for murder by left-wing DA for stabbing attacker in self-defense [More]

You ever get the feeling the wrong people are on trial?

UPDATE

GoFundMe deletes page for NYC bodega clerk who fatally stabbed attacker [More]

I have to tell ya, Curtis Wells using that platform concerned me because GoFundMe’s self-created woke rep discourages people who don’t want to give them their cut from contributing. I need to find out if he has a fund set up that accepts contributions another way.

She CAN Have Her Cake and Eat It Too?

I’m a New York City Liberal, and I Want a Gun … In May, I filed for and received a temporary order of protection against a former partner… I support background checks, waiting periods, assault weapon bans and gun control proposals that make it harder for people to obtain guns. [More]

Yeah, well **** you.

Never assume a late-to-the-party Gun Culture 2.0er is your friend or even educable. If they are, fine, but discern for yourself by their comments and actions if they’re worth your time to try.

If I were an FFL, I’d tell this stupid, entitled “progressive”  to get the hell out of my store and next time use better judgment when choosing “partners.”

Hitting the Ground Running

This legislative package enhances licensing requirements for concealed carry permit applicants, adds new provisions for sensitive areas where the permit holder is prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm, enhances safe storage requirements to apply if a minor under the age of 18 lives in the home, and makes technical changes to the Body Armor Law. Additionally, this legislative package establishes New York as a “point of contact” state. [More]

As WoG regulars know, I rarely post on weekends except to publicize my new articles. In this case, this release from the New York State Senate warrants an exception because it shows they were ready for the Bruen ruling and it gives a blueprint for other Democrat states to follow.

It’s yet another reason why suggesting potential infringements in c0ncurrences does nothing but help the enemy.

Here’s the bill.
