Kicking the Can Down the Road

“Unless and until judicially or legislatively clarified, I conclude that the definition of ‘short-barreled rifle,’ which the Legislature enacted in 1969, does not include a handgun, such as a pistol, to which a person attaches a stabilizing brace, because the use of such an optional accessory does not change the fundamental characteristics of the handgun.” [More]

Not that politicians majority rule voting on what to call something would legitimately alter the truth…

Brace Yourselves

In yesterday’s observation on Trump opening the door to further legal woes, this time on guns, the story I linked to did not mention another bit of information some gun “influencers” are excitedly announcing, that he says if elected he’ll “take care of” the pistol brace ban.

Sorry to curb anyone’s enthusiasm, but I’m not getting a full-throated and focused pledge out of this:

Just Like the Founders Used to Ban?

The Biden administration says its Defending new restriction on the possession of pistols with stabilizing braces parallels colonial times. [More]

Do they really want to go down that road?

This part bugged me:

He argued sawed-off shotguns are wildly inaccurate when fired, whereas braces make pistols more stable and accurate.

Does “our side” really want to go down THAT road?

A ‘Pro-Gun’ Democrat

I hope everyone in West Virginia sees this for what it is….. Joe Manchin is NOT a supporter of the 2nd Amendment. And, assuming he truly believes what he is saying here, he is not very smart on the right to bear arms issue. If you allow ATF to redefine congressional statutes as they please and change course at will, then what’s to prevent ATF from later declaring via regulation that “semi-automatic rifles like AR-15s” are really really “machine guns” that need to be registered under the NFA. [More]

And there are still idiots ostensibly on “our side” out there saying the bump stock ban is “just about a stupid piece of plastic.”

Typically, the same bloviating morons who say “The Second Amendment GIVES us the right” and “Enforce existing gun laws”…

We Don’t Have to Show You Any Stinking Separation of Powers!

Today, the U.S. Senate failed to block the Biden Pistol Brace Rule under the Congressional Review Act. The final vote, which was split along party lines, was 50-49. During debate, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spread disinformation about pistol braced firearms, claiming that they convert pistols into machineguns. [More]

So where are all those “pro-gun Democrats” we’re assured are out there?

Republican Holdouts on Pistol Brace Vote Point to Larger GOP Problem

With this being SOP for the GOP, it’s no wonder lesser luminaries like Fitzpatrick and Kean feel like they can do anything they want, and “lesser of two evils” gun voters won’t have a choice but to keep rewarding them with power. [More]

If the turncoats will betray gun owners on something as clear-cut as this, what won’t they betray them on?

With Republicans Like These

Two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — broke from the party and voted against the legislation… [More]

I knew about this Fitzpatrick piece of crap— and his strange hold over Kevin McCarthy. Kean hasn’t been on my radar yet to know what a phony he is:

The National Rifle Association (NRA) Victory Fund gave Tom Kean, Jr. these ratings for the following election cycles: an A+ rating (100 percent) for 2017 and a B rating (67 percent) for 2020.

And speaking of phonies, since when is 67% not a “D” and a 1.0 GPA?

As Expected

White House threatens to veto GOP resolution against its pistol brace ban [More]

Was there ever any doubt that it was anything but symbolic, with no chance of going anywhere?

Let’s see what the Republicans do if they keep the House and regain the Senate and the White House, that is, if they don’t blow it.
