A Farewell to Arms

A man who spent 16 years in prison for a 2004 school shooting in upstate New York was attacked by a sword-wielding vagrant at the homeless shelter where he now works — and he’s going viral with candid TikTok updates on his recovery. Jon Romano, who was released from prison in 2020, had to have his arms reattached after they were severed in the terrifying Aug. 29 attack in Albany, that also left him with severe injuries to his head and legs… [More]

Finally — a “prohibited person” who was effectively disarmed…

Let’s Do It Again!

Yesterday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) re-filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of New York over the poorly named Concealed Carry Improvement Act, which took effect September 1st. Several additional plaintiffs who are willing to break the law or are currently in violation have joined the lawsuit, which was originally filed on behalf of a GOA member from Schenectady County. [More]

I posted this to my WoG Placeholder site because all that’s up on the GOA site at this writing is their July announcement.

Times Square Gun-Free Zone Plans Leave the Obvious Unmentioned

Take that to mean you can’t have a permitted gun with you in a private automobile, either. The entire city is being turned into a “patchwork quilt” designed to make it impossible to travel within its limits without violating the law. [More]

By ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision with impunity, this has effectively become not just a real insurrection, but a sanctioned secession.

And What’s to Stop Her?

Hochul is saying she will comply with the Bruen rulings by making it more difficult to acquire a concealed handgun carry license. In other words, “I, Kathy Hochul, will comply with the Bruen rulings by not complying with them.” Huh! [More]

This will continue until rights enforcement slaps cuffs on her and all her co-conspirators.

Besides which, the DSM has dumbed enough constituents in “our democracy” down enough to be on her side.

She’s Got Hers

In celebration of New York’s new gun control law taking effect on September 1, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul claimed: “This whole concept that a good guy with a gun will stop the bad guys with a gun, it doesn’t hold up. And the data bears this out, so that theory is over.” [More]

I know someone who would not only disagree with that from personal experience, but in private he’d call her a name that rhymes with…

Funny. Her security team hasn’t disbanded.

We Had No Idea!

“People question, like, why do you need my driver’s license for ammo?” Adamski said. “I’m 70 years old, and why are you taking all this information? So, I mean, people are apprehensive about it. I mean, most people understand it. You know it’s not me, it’s the state. But you know there are some people that are just they don’t know why, it’s so absurd to them.” [More]

Yeah, well, where have they been? And how do they vote?

I honest to God think if I were an FFL and some self-imposed ignoramus asked me that I’d tell him to get the hell out of my store, I’m saving my inventory for those who deserve it.

This is the clueless-by-choice population the antis exploit when they tell us “x% of gun owners support” more infringements.

Bruen 2.0

Plaintiffs seek a declaration that New York’s limitations of and burdens on the right to carry firearms as enacted in Senate Bill 51001 (“SB51001”) and as otherwise detailed below are unconstitutional under the First, Second, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Plaintiffs also seek an injunction compelling Defendants to refrain from enforcing those invalid limitations. [More]

Unless and until the in-your-face stonewallers face personal consequences, they know they’ll have virtually limitless plunder resources to draw from. And if they can wait things out, the plan is for total control so that current legal decisions will no longer impede.

[Via Jess]

Unconstitutional, But What the Hell…

DECISION AND ORDER that Plaintiffs’ Complaint (Dkt. No. 1 ) is sua sponte DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3}. Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction (Dkt. No. 9 ) is denied without prejudice as moot. Defendant’s motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction (Dkt. No. 21 ) is denied without prejudice as moot. The Clerk is directed to close this action. Signed by Chief District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby on 8/31/2022. (sal ) (Entered: 08/31/2022) [More]

I found myself channeling Gary Coleman over this so found it advisable to post GOA’s latest email over at my WarOnGuns Placeholder blog because I don’t see it on their site yet.

Kathy Hochul: Talking to Your ‘Neighbors Online’ Now Part of Firearm Background Check [More]

I don’t suppose you’re entitled to see what they said, and maybe use the transcript in a libel suit? If so, do they need to be warned that anything they say can and will be used against them in a court of law?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

‘Good moral character’ requirement in NY concealed carry law has racist roots, 2A groups say [More]

All disarmament has always been about the ruling majority keeping a beaten minority submissive and obedient, enslaved, or dead.

Sensitive, Aren’t We?

In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on July 1 signed a law that criminalizes the concealed carry of guns in airports, houses of worship, Times Square and other sensitive places, prompting a swift legal challenge. Gun Owners of America is one of several plaintiffs who are urging a federal judge in Syracuse to block the New York law before it takes effect on Sept. 1. [More]

Not satisfied with a patchwork quilt of “gun-free zones,” Hochul & Co. are going for a Rubik’s Cube.

I see Stephen Stamboulieh got ink.

The Empire State Strikes Back

New York State Senate blocks citizens on Twitter, an unconstitutional move to crush dissent [More]

If you can eviscerate the Second Amendment with impunity, why would the First worry you? And it’s just fine, of course, with Twitter, which does the Democrats’ bidding in a fascist public/private partnership workaround. Besides, policy violations only result in expulsion for those deemed enemies of the regime.

Tyrants of Color

Newly-signed NY law says toy weapons must be white, bright colors, or ‘translucent’ [More]

They can be white but they can’t be black or brown? Another brand new “progressive” idea, I see…

So will they be able to raid and throw you in the slammer if you picked up a vintage Johnny Seven OMA or Mattel Tommy-Burst Detective Set off of eBay? I don’t suppose anyone would be interested in exploring why we used to be able to play with these across the land without provoking a hysterical SWAT response…?

And on the flip side, do you think Kathy knows about Furious Mike?

YadaYadaYada

Plaintiff lacks standing…Bruen is the wrong person to sue…plaintiff hasn’t shown injury… the plaintiff hasn’t shown a likelihood of winning… [More]

Everything to dance around and obscure the indisputable fact that these m***********g tyrannical New York a******s are denying a fundamental right to We the People under force of arms with full intent to bring an up-to-lethal hammer down on the head of anyone who disobeys.

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…
