Suing Instead of Solving

The Glock switch distraction [More]

As a tangentially-related aside, with the death of Gene Hackman happening while I was gone, I caught 2003’s Runaway Jury last night for the first time (co-starring the handsy Little Big Mouth). What a piece of crap primer in cartoonish anti-gun scripting and legal incompetence/ malpractice/ lawbreaking that I recommend seeing if for no other reason than to slap your forehead at the clumsiness of the attacks, and to appreciate how 2005’s Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act shields us from much such subversive nonsense, but not enough.

‘On Behalf of Our Criminal Constituents…’

A lawsuit alleges Glock makes and sells guns that are easily turned into illegal machine guns, the state of Maryland and the city of Baltimore announced Wednesday morning. Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and local law firms announced the lawsuit, alleging the handgun manufacturer facilitates the proliferation of illegal machine guns.

Tell us “gun control” doesn’t work without telling us “gun control” doesn’t work.

The Other Side in a Nutshell

This is why it’s fruitless to “debate” with with obnoxious, self-entitled fanatics who are too stupid to realize how wrong they are, and who presume to teach but don’t even belong in the class without passing the prerequisites.

Has the loudmouthed clownette “proudly” ID’d herself on social media yet?

Mayor’s Assassination Shows Mexican Government Can Only Operate with Consent of Cartels

Mexican prohibitionists ignoring the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to effect U.S. citizen disarmament are creatures that can only operate at the behest of cartel monsters who decapitate to terrorize. [More]

Who thinks the Framers included the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights so that animals from a failed narco-terrorist state abetted by treasonous domestic subversives could render it toothless through lawfare?

Mexican Standoff

Supreme Court Will Hear Gun Industry Challenge to Mexico’s Lawsuit – “Simply put, Mexico’s suit threatens to undermine American sovereignty and constitutional liberty, and it has no business in this country’s courts.” [More]

I expect our side to win. What I’m most curious of is what the Democrat judges will do, and how they will rationalize their arguments if they side with Mexico.

Between SCOTUS now taking on both this and frames/receivers, how any gun owner can justify not voting and letting Kamala Harris reshape the Court is beyond me.

A Public/Private Partnership

This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]

Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.

I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

Going with What Works

Both the White House and ATF have turned down multiple House Oversight inquiries into charges of ‘collusion’ with Chicago’s lawsuit against Glock [More]

Gee, when have we seen a Democrat administration stonewall House Oversight on gun-related scandals before…?

Weapons of Law

Buffalo Tops Friendly Market Shooting Survivors and Family Members Sue Manufacturer of Gun Lock, Gun Store, Manufacturer of Combat-Style Body Armor, Social Media Companies, and Shooter’s Parents [More]

Go with what works, right?

These people understand something “our side,” always playing defense, has yet to embrace.

Invaders Repelled Again

A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts again dismissed a $10 billion Mexican government lawsuit against six U.S. gun manufacturers on Wednesday. [More]

Did I miss a story about the companies countersuing, or is that somehow not legally or economically advisable? Why?

If the companies won’t do it, would a stockholder have standing?

Anybody hear a plan on if Trump wins what he will do to put a stop to this?

Uvalde Exploiters Leave No Deep Pockets Unpicked in UPS and FedEx Complaints

Let a parasite know it will be fed and it will return to suck out the rest. [More]

The goal is to disarm Americans by making supplying them with arms too costly, and caving in to extortion will only encourage more. There need to be personal consequences for frivolous filings.

Uvalde Families Demand More ‘Gun Violence’

Uvalde shooting survivors’ families UPS, FedEx for shipping weapon used by gunman in school massacre – The lawsuit claims the companies shipped an enhanced trigger system that allowed the gunman to convert a firearm into a fully automatic or semi-automatic weapon. [More]

I was going to ask if she means it acts like a selector switch, but it’s not my job as a reader to discern what a “real reporter” means. I can only imagine what UPS and FedEx risk managers are going to do to their rules now…

I think I’m gonna write this one up to explain what I mean by the title.

A New York State of Mind

The New York State Senate passed legislative measures to advance responsible and effective firearm regulation. The proposed legislation will provide funding for anti-violence education in schools, add reasonable restrictions to the open carry of long guns, establish a ten-day waiting period for firearm purchases, establish a voluntary waiver of the right to purchase firearms, hold firearm industry members accountable for unreasonable conduct, and expand the list of who can petition for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs). [More]

Here’s to the day when such public bragging of deprivation of rights under color of law is seen as a confession of guilt not protected by the Speech and Debate clause…

Without a Trace

Crime gun intelligence centers — or CGICs — use cutting-edge technology to solve and prevent crimes — technology that traces firearms from crime scenes; that links ballistics evidence and connects shootings; and that identifies the gun traffickers and straw purchasers arming gang members and other violent criminals. [More]

In other words, if you asked her right there how many guns retrieved from crime scenes implicated the original purchaser as the trigger puller, you’d get a Jackie Gleason response, and the rest is to try and blame high-volume outlets like Bass Pro Shops and Cabellas for deep pockets PLCAA end run extortion attempts.

Meanwhile, the real problem, Democrat policies “cultivating” constituents who can’t be trusted with a gun, not only isn’t addressed, it can’t even be talked about.

Conspiracy Against Rights

A new law gives Maryland leaders the ability to sue the gun industry for their wrongful actions. This is a major step in holding the gun industry accountable when they break the law and exacerbate America’s gun violence crisis. [More]

There’s a solution.

But it requires someone with the will to use it.

Saying No to Cartel-Sanctioned Lawfare

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Smith & Wesson in its legal fight against the government of Mexico, which seeks to hold the American gun manufacturer liable for criminal acts of third parties in Mexico. [More]

Yes, real threats from the open border directly impact the “single issue” in more ways than one.

Everyone realizes the government there would not exist without cartel sanction? A loyal American State Department would have Obrador on the carpet begging us not to cut back on trade and handout benefits.

Missing in Action

SCOTUS urged to hear Mexico’s lawsuit blaming US gun makers for cartel violence – GOP AGs say ‘anti-gun activists’ trying to blame US gun manufacturers for Mexico’s bad policy choices [More]

Once more I see my guy, Dave Yost, AWOL…

And once more I’ll ask him why.

The Blame Game

Hawaii tourist dies on Maui beach, and wife alleges state failed to warn her about snorkeling danger – Patti Johnson believes her husband’s snorkeling death off the coast of Maui could have been prevented had he known about a little-known danger [More]

Because we all know whose responsibility it is to make sure you know what you’re doing.

And why stop there? I’ll bet there was no warning or safety indicator on the snorkel, and those gear manufacturers and dealers have deep pockets.
