She told voters, “If there is a potentially dangerous situation, I want the police involved as soon as possible because it’s their responsibility, not yours, to deal with dangerous people.” [More]
That attitude certainly explains a lot.

A New York State of Mind
We’re the Only Ones Oath-Breaking Enough
A Washington judge issued a TRO that, among other restraints, prohibited this Montana guy from possessing firearms. The TRO was communicated to the town where the Montana guy lives and the local police department enforced the TRO by confiscating all of this Montana guy’s firearms. Done. Because this guy had not been to Washington in three decades and because the accusing girlfriend recanted her story of threat, the judge reviewing the TRO dismissed it. However, this Montana victim still cannot get his firearms returned. [More]
It would help if we had names of all involved. Shame on those Montana “Only Ones.”
Note Seattle cops won’t help ICE enforce immigration law, but Montana cops will enforce Washington diktats. F_n’ jackboots.
This is why Oath Keepers’ “Orders We Will Not Obey” were so important, and why tyrants feared it and smeared it, to where it’s unlikely to be resurrected in any substantive form.
You really had something, Stewart. And you blew it.

It Just Doesn’t Matter
Minnesota has red flag laws…. But because the killer’s family affirmed his mental illness, there was nothing a gun shop could do. So unless you’re prepared to make transgenderism a diagnosed mental illness, none of that will matter. [More]
Not that red flag laws would stop a determined psycho predator from victimizing others, and the law that would work has zero chance of being enacted.
I’m actually drafting an article about a Democrat school district in California (is there any other kind?) that is taking steps to legally classify objectors as the ones with mental problems. Stay tuned.

GOOD Flag-Burning
‘Household Red Flags’
Democrats are now using gun control against children as young as 8 and 6 years old! Today we go over the instances in question and the outlandish laws that allowed it to happen. [Watch]
The same law still applies. It’s just that mine requires due process.

Lowering the Flag
The Cognitive Dissonance…It Burns…
“You know due process is a – it sounds very scholarly but it’s basically what prevents the government from sweeping you, or me, off the street,” Merkley said when asked his thoughts on Democrats’ defense of Abrego Garcia. “[Due process] is extraordinarily important for freedom.”
I am incredibly grateful for the courage my colleagues in the House of Representatives showed… today, they passed a bill creating a nationwide red flag law.
Don’t look for anyone dumb enough to vote for this traitor to see the contradiction.
Michigan Says ‘Hold Our Beer’ on Red Flag Due Process Concerns
But it’s also that part of the law that worries Second Amendment advocates who have long voiced opposition to the law on several fronts, including the statute’s effect on gun owners who are not the subject of the actual order — such as the parents of a 6-year-old named in an extreme risk protection order.

The Due Process Loophole
A Good First Step
Drawing a clear line in the sand on gun rights, the Texas Senate has passed a bill that would make it illegal for state or local officials to enforce federal red flag laws, going so far as to criminalize cooperation with such orders. [More]
Now pass one authorizing the arrest of federal enforcers.

A Red Letter Day
A Michigan court may issue an extreme risk protection order “ex parte” – without written or oral notice to the subject of the order or an opportunity to respond to the allegations. If the petitioner is a law enforcement officer, he or she may apply for an immediate emergency order “verbally over the telephone,” without a written petition, and the judge or magistrate may issue the order based solely on that request. [More]
So… does this mean Carita’s a liar…?
It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Due Process’ Is
So, when he designed his training, he emphasized due process protections embedded in these laws: Gun owners get ample notice about the petition, and they have the right to defend themselves in court through multiple hearings. [More]
But their guns are taken before anything’s proven, right?
Figures this Carita character works with 97Percent.

Change of heart, Dan?
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
That and define “unjust.” Until there’s a guilty verdict, we’re all supposed to be presumed innocent.
It’s almost like he’s hoping this will make gun owners think he’s our champion.
I continue to be unimpressed by this man.

New Mexico Legislative Updates
Three new gun control bills have been filed, including one of the bills we have been anticipating. First, SB279, a ban on the sale or transfer of semiautomatic rifles was filed today… Second, SB244, a ban on minors possessing firearms with exemptions was filed… HB12, the expansion of New Mexico’s “red-flag” gun confiscation law will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee.

And naturally, Democrats didn’t want to talk about permitless carry…

In budget address, Gov. Mills takes swipe at gun safety citizen initiative [More]
Before celebrating this as a Road to Damascus conversion, keep in mind her preferred due process violation for disarming citizens relies on “Only Ones” (yellow flag) not family members (red flag). What struck me more than that:
Maine is the only state to have a yellow flag law, which Mills helped draft with help from the pro-gun Sportsmans Alliance of Maine.
