Request Filed with DOJ for Any Record of Second Amendment Statements of Interest



So they’ll go after violations for other rights, but where the Second Amendment is concerned, state entities can do as they please without fear of federal checks? Even though infringements directly affect the “security of a free State” by disarming the citizen Militia? [More]
It's past time the Second Amendment was treated consistently by the DOJ -- especially since preventing deprivation of rights, that is, "secur[ing] the Blessings of Liberty," is a mandated prerequisite for "consent of the governed."

This will be new to many, but Aaron Zelman did this 30 years ago. I'm just imagining how different things might be if this had been included in every high school history class from then to now.

By the Numbers

Nearly 4,500 people were found with guns at security checkpoints in 2019, leading to TSA firearm confiscations, setting a new record. [More]
That's a lot of dumb@$$ people. That said, before the antis all start shrieking, it sounds worse than it is when you consider practically no one had evil intent and that "Every day, the FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO) provides service to more than ... 2.7 million airline passengers..."

x 365 = ...

In addition to the negligent, I blame the fact that this society places such limited value on making adequate gun education an expectation.

Unlike many that we've seen so far, where their hearts are in the right place, this one is based on First Principles and is written by a "lawyer, philosopher & logician [and] strict constructionist of the U.S. Constitution."

This one is specifically relevant to Virginia. If you're planning on crafting a resolution for your state, she's willing to help.

Commentary here...

He gets more and more ludicrous to the point where you gotta wonder if even his fans aren't dumb enough not to realize they're being had. A part of me is starting to wonder if he may secretly be our man in the gun ban camp.

Upside Down on 2A


A few dozen GOP loyalists shouted down Ducey at Saturday’s AZGOP state convention, interrupting his speech to shame him for having proposed “red flag laws.” ... a...couple dozen people stood, waved signs and chanted, “no red flag”... [More]

They were told to shut up and sit down or they would be removed.  Meanwhile, Il Ducey responded by saying "Arizona is the number one pro-Second Amendment state in the nation, and that’s not going to change," and is proceeding with the con that STOP orders are different from "red flag laws" because they're kinder, gentler prior restraint denials of due process or something...

And yeah, I realize you have to subscribe to the Yellow Sheet Report to access the link-- I tried to give you the gist of this story without stepping on their copyrights. If you're interested in getting insider tips on Arizona politics, it looks like a pretty good source.
