Who’s Minding the Store? DOJ Siding with Letitia James Against Gun Companies
So, what gives with Podolsky’s very public filing, siding with notorious New York Democrat gun prohibitionists? And will AG Bondi and her new appointees now rein him in and slap him down? [More]
We’ve seen enough disconnects to make it fair to wonder if Bondi is being undermined or if she’s just talking out of both sides of her mouth.
UPDATE
I’ve submitted an update to this piece because, per GOA, DOJ reversed itself and is withdrawing from the case. If they’da listened to me from the start and included gun owner reps in their Task Force, they’d eliminate much of the uproar and embarrassing need to backtrack.
Goldilocks Gun Control
Survivors of the 2022 Brooklyn subway shooting are suing Glock—not because the gun malfunctioned, or was illegally obtained—but because it’s marketed as “compact and concealable.” That’s like suing Ferrari because their cars go too fast. [More]
This one’s too small. This one’s too big. None will be “just right.”
F-word these “survivors,” and the shysters and totalitarians behind them.

New York proposal would ban police from making traffic stops for minor violations to pursue ‘racial equity’ [More]
Proposed by racist Democrats who hate America, but ultimately, it’s fine by me. I never wanted to have to put tags on my car anyway, and anything that will lessen the chances of me being forced to stop and subject to search is a plus in my book.
Just don’t sue me if I rear-end someone who didn’t have brake lights.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringe’ Is
The US Supreme Court refused to question New York’s 2022 gun restrictions, including the state’s limits on concealed-carry licenses and its ban on weapons in buses, parks and crowded venues. The justices without comment turned away an appeal by six New York residents who said the restrictions infringe the Constitution’s Second Amendment and fly in the face of recent Supreme Court rulings bolstering gun rights. [More]
As noted many times before over the years, all the Supreme Court has to do to allow blatant infringements of our fundamental rights to prevail is… nothing.
People in power don’t give it up unless there’s a credible “or else” behind demands.

I’m guessing the only reason there hasn’t been a lawsuit so far is because it’s a Chinese company, and we know what that means to New York Democrats.

Common ‘Law’
N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]

Third Time’s a Charm?
GOA and GOF have officially submitted our petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in Antonyuk v. James! This case began as a direct challenge to New York’s unconstitutional attempt to ban concealed carry by declaring nearly every location a “sensitive place.” But now, it’s become a battle over lower courts defying SCOTUS rulings.

Note the first name on the petition…

Debate Over Nassau ‘Militia’ Focuses on Wrong Understanding of Founding Intent
It sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and Founding era thought leaders weren’t big on “select militias.” [More]
Letting those with an agenda redefine terms ignores the real argument.
Who Are the Militia?
Democrats sue GOP county executive over armed volunteer unit they say amounts to an illegal militia [More]
So the ones who scream “It says well regulated!” freak when someone takes them at their word…?
In fact though, this sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and the Founders weren’t big on “select militias.”

And There was War in Heaven
A Self-Created Problem
Under current law, New York’s governor has 10 days to declare a special election for a vacant seat and an additional 80 to 90 days to hold the election. Stefanik’s seat is key for the Republican Party and Trump’s second administration, as Republicans hold a slim majority at 218 members to the Democrats’ 215 members. [More]
So why does Trump think it’s more important to have a UN ambassador?

We’re the Only Ones Taking It Off, Taking It All Off Enough
A suburban New York police department routinely violated residents’ civil rights, including making illegal arrests and using unnecessary strip and cavity searches, according to a new U.S. Department of Justice report. [More]
Can we presume their bodycams weren’t the only things turned on?
And the badged @$$holes who lied were only docked and aren’t in jail? Why do I wonder if one of them called “Riccola” during the cavity search?

NY Democrat’s ‘Outside the Box Thinking’ Has Unintended Consequences – for Her
And note the Constitution doesn’t just say that executive officers have to take the oath—it says they are “BOUND” by it. That means once she volitionally “unbinds” herself, she’s in violation of a non-negotiable requirement and must be removed from office. [More]
