Oregon Democrats Demand That You Obey Them -- Or Else
Possession of any magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds will get you 6 months in jail. “Use” of a standard capacity magazine will get you a year in jail and a $6250.00 fine. [More]Fact: If they can get gun owners to obey this, they can get them to obey any surrender order. And they just keep slapping and slapping and slapping.
You gotta wonder if someone is trying pushing to create an exploitable event to go after even more.
About Last Night
Stephen Stamboulieh and I discussed the latest happenings in the "Trumpstock" case and also in Young v. Hawaii.
Welcome to Gunkapo County!
Despite having one of the highest percentages of registered Democrats for counties in New Mexico, Rio Arriba has joined more than 20 counties and municipalities throughout the state in recent weeks in passing resolutions opposing proposed gun legislation and declaring themselves a “Second Amendment Sanctuary.” [More]Do you think they're just stupid, or what?

We're the Only Ones Gunsmithing Enough
A sergeant in the New York City Department of Environmental Protection Police Department was arrested Thursday by State Police on charges that he manufactured and possessed firearms, including handguns, assault rifles and at least one fully automatic assault rifle. It is alleged Gregg Marinelli, 38, of Plattekill illegally made the firearms and sold them to others, including members of outlaw motorcycle groups and those with criminal convictions, sometimes delivering them using his marked police car. [More]I confess it's a bit of a struggle to not reconsider what I just said about prison rape.

Meanwhile, Over at the Provide-All Government
St. Louis County inmate dies; third to die in jail this year [More]If ever there was a place where a special relationship with a duty to protect existed...
And yeah, the specifics here are not made clear, but there are reasons that assumptions about custodianship abuses and failures come to mind.
I have to shake my head when I see so-called "conservatives" joking about convicts being raped, and wonder how many realize they're just one "commonsense gun safety law" violation away from forced immersion in such environments.

Roberts' Rule of Orders
Hold the Revolution: Roberts Keeps Joining High Court Liberals [More]You don't say.
It's almost like there's some kind of hidden pressure here...
When a Plan Comes Together
Newly Uncovered Evidence Connects Crooked Hillary and Creepy Podesta to Fake Russian Hoax Before Election [More]Wake me when they're being frog-marched.
The New Stamp Act
There are 175,977 transferable machineguns registered now, and it takes better than 7 months to get a stamp. Throw in an estimated 16 million semiauto AR- and AK-pattern rifles into the mix and you’ll have 92 times as many for 92 times the wait, 644 months (I rounded). It’ll take almost 54 years to get your stamp. [More]I see Ted is still being a Deutschbag.
Fortunately:
Prognosis: 3% chance of being enacted according to Skopos Labs (details)For now.
We're never more than one gun-free zone bloodbath away from those odds changing significantly.
Not All Bad
While Muslim clerics in the United States typically insist they submit to the U.S. Constitution, an Illinois cleric chastised Islamic relief organizations for not stating that an Islamic caliphate is the ultimate objective for Muslims. [More]So what will happen to all the pink pussy-hatters again...?
Mr. Benny...?
Can't Buy Me Love
O’Tierney opened up about his struggles in a 2017 tweet. Last year, he compared some of his failure in dealing with addiction, which he didn’t specify, to the success he had at Square. [More]I did my part to save him from a life of excess with more than he could handle.
Your Windy City Weekend Gun News in Review
6 people shot inside private club in South Chicago neighborhood: police [More]They're kind'a scant on details, especially since the as-yet unidentified perps are still out there threatening "the community."
What they're not scant on is tangentially-related stories. Additional links appearing on the page at this writing include:
- 2 people shot in Kenwood, police say
- 2 teenage girls shot in Englewood: police
- 22-year-old man shot inside staffing agency in East Side
- Police: Man dressed as mail carrier shoots 2 people inside South Side home
- Police: Fight led to mass shooting outside South Side lounge; 2 killed, 5 injured
- Man critically injured in South Shore police-involved shooting identified by mother
- Man killed, second man wounded in shooting at Orland Square Mall

- Man, 33, shot while shoveling snow: police

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.
And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions
Will voters’ ‘identity politics’ choose new Chicago mayor? [More]Those Daley and Joyce voters sure are racists.
Forget it, Jake...
Anchors Away
Anchor Babies In Canada Could Be Winning Votes For Canadian Conservatives [More]For U.S. ones, too, in the right states and districts.
Provided they have a clear plan that credibly addresses legal barriers, refutes the counter-arguments, and is made in earnest as opposed to just for "winning votes"...
And provided it's not already too late.
If They Let Us Get Away with This on Bump Stocks, We Can Get Away with It on Anything
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has presented senior White House staff with his plan to effectively ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes in convenience stores throughout the United States, according to two sources familiar with the meeting. [More]Lemme keep looking: I'm sure this authority is right there under Article. II. somewhere...
It's a pattern: Pick something marginalized that most people don't give a damn about -- or even feel negatively toward -- and establish the precedent.
I'm wondering if what ought to be banned are 3D chess pieces...

And Not Just Any Gun

And "big scoop" is on an old tradition...?
Deboosted
"This occurs because prompts like 'Share this video' are disabled..." [More]I've personally experienced that with my posts, which is different from all the times I've documented where they've been deemed as spam and/or violations of community standards.
WarOnGuns Correspondent Robert B sent me this link along with a thought I have not seen elsewhere:
Isn't throttling some of the most popular conservative channels doing a disservice to Facebook's shareholders and ultimately violating the corporation's fiduciary duty? Could ultimately be a Sec violation for surreptitiously devaluing company stock? Is Favebook violating the law?
I don't have an answer to that. It brings to mind the nuns buying minimal shares to be able to call for a board response as has happened at S&W and Ruger, but this has the added element of invoking regulators.
If you have an informed opinion on that, please share it.
Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise...
“I’m not asking members of the public to suddenly jump in to assist police officers because we are highly trained in what we do. But what I’m trying to get across is the simple fact that society has changed so much lately that it seems to be OK [to be] more interested in mocking us and filming us.” [More]To paraphrase Capt. Butler, you deserve to be mocked, and often, and by someone who knows how.

All We like Sheep have Gone Astray
Family members of victims of a Texas church shooting are suing a sporting goods chain that sold the weapons used in the 2017 massacre. [More]Yeah, like it's their fault.
Are they going to then pay the store that sold the man who stopped the killer his gun?

Received via email:
These could be ordinary phishers of men, but then again, I wouldn't put it past the commie bedwetter gun-grabbers to be doing their part to make things personal.

A Bipartisan Problem-Solver
John Hickenlooper, Democratic Ex-Governor of Colorado, Enters 2020 Race - Former geologist, the 14th member of the field, pitches himself as a bipartisan problem-solver [More]More like a problem-creator, but what is it we know about "progressives" and Opposite Day...?
What's that political funk I feel coming on?
The Shape of Things to Come
So let’s look ahead and guess what they might do with total registration. [More]We know what they'd like to do because they've told us.
