Can NICS be used for purposes for which it is not federally authorized? [More]
It makes fair the question “What else could the prohibitonists use it for?”

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?
Man who was ticketed for shouting at police to turn on headlights can sue… R. Anthony Rupp III, a civil rights attorney, said he did not initially intend to sue over the incident, but changed his mind after learning the same officers were involved two months later in the arrest of an unarmed man who died of an asthma attack after struggling while being handcuffed. [More]
Back the blue-faced…?

The nation’s oldest gun-maker recently announced plans to shutter the factory in the company’s original home early next month, citing the steep cost of running the historic plant. Remington is consolidating its operations in Georgia, a state the company says is friendlier to the firearms industry. [More]
For a bit longer, anyway…
As described above, the Petitioner has demonstrated and the Court finds that New York’s Red Flag Law is not beyond the “outer limits” the framers and ratifiers of the Second and Fourteenth amendment understood them, based on the nation’s historical traditions. [More]
It’s no surprise support for Red Queen laws comes from judges still inserting an affinity for the “collective right” interpretation into their arguments…

US District Court judge Glenn Suddaby finds that NY ban on guns in public housing violates the 2nd Amendment. [More]
That’s all fine and good, but I still want to know why forcing me to pay for someone else’s living costs don’t violate the 13th Amendment…
I wonder what the text, history, and tradition at the time of ratification would have to say about that…

The good news is the prognosis.
Michael Lawler and role model, eh…?
Well, you can fill in your question mark, GOA.
But at one point, he indicated that LaPierre — whose public persona was that of a populist firebrand — had concerns about the optics of using NRA funds for travel on a private jet. [More]
That someone was clandestinely recording this tells us much.
And if you don’t leave any openings, there won’t be any openings to take.

New York makes it easier to get an abortion than to adopt a baby thanks in part to Hochul admin edict, critics say [More]
Dealing with the wrong end of this, aren’t we? Who doesn’t know how babies are made?
The rest is just expecting someone else to deal with choices made by others.
You know, the Democrat agenda.
No civilization can endure when such burdens are forced. And that’s kind of the plan…

We are proud to endorse former Congressman @Tom_Suozzi
in the critical special election for NY-03! From helping pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to working to get dangerous weapons off the streets of his community, Congressman Suozzi is a proven leader on gun safety. [More]
Just to be clear: They support a politican disarming you who justified taking up arms against a lawfully elected Donald Trump, the law enforcement and military under his command, and his citizen supporters.
And what’s worse is that while Suozzi showed he perfectly understands the ultimate last resort provision against tyranny behind the Second Amendment, he actively works to undermine it in his quest for power over the lives of his countrymen. [More]
Suozzi’s idea of “gun violence prevention” is to disarm you and me and start an armed uprising.
The resignation of Wayne LaPierre on the eve of the trial in New York has generated letters to Judge Joel Cohen from both sides. In addition, the pre-trial memorandum containing the NRA’s trial brief seems to throw Wayne under the bus after three plus years of defending him. [More]
A lot more than Wayne will have to end up under those wheels if they ever hope to restore any credibility.
I’m hearing rumors that they may be looking to had the reins over to Lautenberg Bob. If they really want to kill it dead, I can’t think of a better way.

Gun Control Advocates Mystified that New Yorkers Would Turn To The Second Amendment [More]
I’m mystified that a “gun rights leader” would come to this conclusion without some hard evidence that they’re ready to stop being Democrats.
New York to Consider Reparations for Descendants of Enslaved People [More]
How about reparations for descendants of New Yorkers enslaved to free them who are now being enslaved to pay for it all.
“We recognize that ‘good moral character’ is a spongy concept susceptible to abuse.” [More]
Like the definition of “pornography“? Or “woman“?
I wonder if a Second Amendment advocate who believes it is a bulwark against domestic tyranny could be disqualified…
And if that would be sufficient to bring a libel suit…

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
— Gun Owners of America (@GunOwners) December 8, 2023
The 2nd Circuit repeatedly claims it doesn’t need to follow Bruen and the Supreme Court’s precedent was limited only to THAT decision, because of Bruen’s alleged “exceptional nature.” https://t.co/ZK2GzZHlzf
So much for “the supreme Law of the Land”…
After yesterday’s premature celebration, WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M wanted to add further documentation that Jeanine Pirro ain’t quite the pro-gun pal she’s posturing as.
”This was apparently a munitions factory,” Mrs. Pirro said. ”The defendant, a machinist by trade, was making his own weapons.”
Andy writes:
I know you’re not from liar Pirro’s back yard as I am, but if you really want dirt on this wench, see how she prosecuted Jim Neff from Dobbs Ferry on gun charges. Then the next time some ignorant gun owner claims she’s good on 2A, [tell] them and him she’s a wench. Jim was a member of one of my gun clubs.
The judge at the sentencing hearing even called it “a hobby that got out of control.”
Jim did hard State time and the wench’s office made sure he served it in Malone which is near the Canadian border so his mother couldn’t see him much. He could have done time in downstate or Fishkill which are the max state owns that every NYC criminal with a family gets because they are only a 1.25 hour train run North of Manhattan.
A friend of mine had lunch with him after he was released and said he was a totally different man.
Pirro is a snake.
One more thing to note on the case… Neff bought a lot of the unregistered handguns from local only ones but never rolled on them which also enraged the prosecutors.
The Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen found that a central part of New York’s licensing process, requiring a special need to obtain a concealed-carry permit, violated the Second Amendment. Because of this, Rivera reasoned, New York can no longer presume that everyone who possesses an unlicensed firearm intends to use it illegally. [More]
The presumption ought to be that licenses are illegal.

Court Ruling Allows State to Seize Citizens for Indefinite Quarantine and Isolation – Due Process No More?… That’s the lesson out of a recent ruling by a New York state appeals court that effectively upheld the right of state officials to arbitrarily seize and detain pretty much any person they deem necessary.

How do you read the full story? I only see a headline, a clickbait slideshow and a summary description.
I had the same problem with another link someone sent me.
I guess the answer is just avoid MSN, and in this case, it looks like they’re riffing off almost two-month-old news.
And here come the narrative media denials…
I’d say this has risen to the court/election interference level where it warrants a Justice Department subpoena and investigation to see who’s playing whom…
Who would be against it?
