Investigators believe, judging from surveillance video and evidence collected from the scene, that the shooter had at least some prior firearms training and experience with guns and the weapon was equipped with a silencer, the official said. [More]

So much for that reform not being hysterically attacked, even though it had no bearing on the outcome. Now all they need is to tie him in with right to life.

At least he appeared to respect the law enough to stay just on the outskirts of Manhattan’s “sensitive area”:

Rights-Free Zone Challenge

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal court challenge of Maryland’s restrictive “sensitive places” gun control law have filed an appellants’ brief with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. [More]

So the Founders intended “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless we tell them ‘Except here, here, and here…’?”

The Replacement

So bring in a player for the other team..

This is why taking back the Senate is so critical. Even with the four Republicans abstaining, she was still confirmed along party lines.

Sensitivity Session

The brutal stabbing of a man in New York City’s Times Square Thursday underscores the futility of public disarmament, which affects only law-abiding citizens, and proves the proponents of so-called “sensitive zones” are clueless, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. [More]

Predators are sensitive to vulnerability because their success at bringing down prey depends on it.

That’s Why They Call It ‘Selective Prosecution’

No, of course not.

It’s purpose is to deter self-defense carriers, not criminals.

Why do you think that is?

Abhorrent, Disgusting, Odious, Vile…

Noting that California’s “sensitive places” law severely restricting lawful concealed carry is “sweeping, repugnant to the Second Amendment, and openly defiant of the Supreme Court,” a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the law’s enforcement. [More]

It’s not just the Second Amendment subversive prohibitionists are repugnant to…

On the Gunny Side of the Street

Among other restrictions, the law bans the public carry of firearms at designated sensitive locations and institutes a default ban on carrying firearms on private property without express permission from the property owner. [More]

WarOnGuns Correspondent JR asks if a public easement means you can be armed on private property traversed by a sidewalk.

Dressed for Success?

Jewish NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov arrested for carrying gun at pro-Palestinian rally [More]

She’d have been nuts to go without one. Some would say she’d have been nuts to go at all. Because even if you defend yourself from the mob, you can have a bigger mob to contend with — especially in a “blue” city.

She certainly wasn’t very cautious. Might she be trying to establish standing for a challenge?

And how come she rates a permit but most New Yorkers don’t?

Carry On

The biggest win was stopping the “private building consent rule,” which declares all private property that is open to the public to be a prohibited place—unless the property owner expressly allows individuals to enter the premises with a firearm… The court also enjoined the ban on carrying in a place where alcoholic beverages were consumed from taking effect… And the court prevented the ban on carrying at public demonstrations from taking effect. [More]

But “may issue” is still “may not”…?

Sensitive to Tyranny

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s “sensitive places” statute have filed a response brief to the state’s appeal. The case is now known as Koons v. Platkin. [More]

So “rights-free zones” weren’t part of the compact?

A Walk in the Park

Neighbors in shock after learning beloved couple were the hostages in deadly Roseville shooting [Watch]

Naturally, the scumbag has a record. And naturally, the story goes light on who shot the hostages. And why the “Only Ones” thought going after a known danger in a public place is left unexplained.

There’s no indication the victims would have been so inclined, but assuming either of them had gone through all the hoops for a Placer County CWP, California Democrats and the predator empowerment lobby have taken steps to “ensure “designat[e] vital community spaces like parks and playgrounds as off-limits to weapons throughout the state.”
