Send in the Clowns
Told ya. Trump’s just an avatar.

Who Are the Militia?
Despite facing backlash from civil rights activists and Democratic lawmakers, Republicans in conservative-leaning Nassau County, New York, are moving forward with a plan to form an armed, civilian militia that the local government could operate as a de facto police force during “emergencies.” [More]

NY Gun Prohibitionist’s Convertible Pistol Bill Could Ban All Semiautomatics
The grabbers will include semi-auto rifles in the mix, and as long as they’re on a roll, why limit the qualifiers to internal devices like switches and sears? As long as they’re being redundantly obsessive, why not ban firearms that external devices like “bump stocks” can be attached to? [More]
But no one’s talking about taking your guns, right?
New York Wants to Ban All Semiautomatics
Proposed legislation in New York could make the state in the nation the first to block gun makers from selling pistols if they don’t take measures to prevent them from being able to be converted to fire like machine guns. [More]

Think of It as Good Old-Fashioned Bench Electioneering
US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to put on hold a New York City licensing rule requiring prospective gun owners to show good moral character to own a firearm. In rejecting a stay request on Thursday relating to a district court order that’s being appealed, Sotomayor turned away yet another bid to prohibit government officials from enforcing their laws while being challenged in court.

Gotta Serve Somebody
The two letters show opposite assumptions about reality and the role of governments. The NY letter assumes guns are bad, and ordinary citizens should not have guns, because ordinary citizens do bad things with guns. The letter from the 28 states assumes government is subordinate to the people, government must defend the nation, and an armed population aids the government in defending the nation against all enemies. These two assumptions about reality are in direct conflict. [More]
We are, in fact, two countries divided by the fundamental difference of principle on the question: Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?
