A knife-wielding woman stabbed two people in the heart of Times Square Monday afternoon before advancing on NYPD officers with two knives and being shot by police… [More]

See, the two mere citizen victims had their choices to do that taken away from them by “law.”

You Pays Your Money and You Takes Your Chances

SCOTUS Lets Illinois Public Transit Carry Ban Stand, Leaving a Dangerous “Sensitive Places” Theory in Place [More]

Hey, none of them have to take the bus.

Remember the good old days before Democrats f_d it all up?

Defense against highwaymen in Colonial America and the early American frontier involved a combination of armed passengers, specialized weaponry, and defensive tactics, as stagecoaches were frequently targeted for mail, cash, and passenger valuables… A common weapon for guarding coaches was the blunderbuss, a short-barreled shotgun-like firearm ideal for close-quarters combat.

In the Spirit of Aloha

Hawaii Sensitive Places Defense Fund… The fact the State of Hawaii hired these big shots is proof they are scared we can win. Please donate what you can. [More]

I trust readers here need no introduction to Alan Beck…?

Here’s just one way costs accumulate.

And this is what the state can afford to bolster rights denial because it has comparatively unlimited tax plunder to draw from.

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions

Whether Illinois’ flat ban on ordinary citizens carrying firearms on public transportation violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. [More]

That this is even in question shows how far the Republic has degraded from the clear intent understood by the founders as a condition for ratification.

That the big worry now is if SCOTUS will even hear it, and if so, how it will rule, tells us more.

The Spirit of Aloha

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen led a 26-state coalition today asking the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to intervene and halt Hawaii’s unconstitutional gun ban which prohibits the carry or possession of firearms in designated “sensitive” places, including bars and restaurants serving alcohol, parks and beaches, banks and financial institutions, and other areas.

Why it’s even necessary speaks volumes of the mindset that votes to be ruled.

Third Time’s a Charm?

GOA and GOF have officially submitted our petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in Antonyuk v. James! This case began as a direct challenge to New York’s unconstitutional attempt to ban concealed carry by declaring nearly every location a “sensitive place.” But now, it’s become a battle over lower courts defying SCOTUS rulings. [Watch]

Note the first name on the petition…

Location, Location, Location

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’

Times Square shooting suspect faces no added charges for being in a ‘gun-free zone’ [More]

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?
