While “reasonable firearm regulations” may not run afoul of the 2nd Amendment, California’s law is anything but reasonable. [More]This guy continues to not impress me, but I do see the attraction for Fairfax.

It Would Help if He Gave Examples

"Are we going to just let the biggest tech companies decide who wins every election from now on?" [More]On the plus side, if they get what they want they'll soon get what they deserve.
Turning Turtle
Modified models of modified models compared to modified models of modified models. It’s turtles all the way down. [More]That and the water's polluted.
Not Up to Their 'Standards'
A few days ago author Michael Z. Williamson was informed that his Wikipedia page had been “speedy deleted.” [More]I feel his pain.

No Duty to Protect
In general, a defendant’s mere failure to act does not give rise to liability for a due process violation. [More]You don't say.
What are we paying these guys for again?

Enemy Action
Check Out the Spineless Republicans Who Voted for the Minimum Wage Hike [More]They also betrayed us on guns and immigration.
I'd say "spineless" is a mischaracterization. Remember what Goldfinger said.
If you are a gun owner and you vote for Francis Rooney, Brian Fitzpatrick or Chris Smith, you're part of the problem.

In the Interest of Public Safety?
ATF Issues Guidance To Alabama FFLs Effective Immediately [More]Here's the stated reason:
Because county sheriffs have issued CCP permits s without completing a full NICS check, firearms have been transferred to felons and other prohibited individuals in violation of federal law, thereby creating a substantial public safety concern. For this reason, the standards set forth in the Brady law require us to find that Alabama’s CCP permits no longer qualify as a NICS check alternative. In the interest of public safety, and effective immediately, FFLs in Alabama may no longer accept CCP permits as an alternative to a NICS check. Unless another exception applies, a NICS check must be conducted whenever you transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person even if the individual presents an unexpired CCP permit.So, as with "bump stocks," they've reversed themselves again.
I'm trying to determine if they have evidence of widespread system "failures" to back this move or if they're simply making an excuse for another reversal. If you have knowledge that can shed light on this, please educate us in "comments."
UPDATE:
Federal officials did not name the sheriffs who issued the permits ... they have not released the names of those counties ...Sounds like it's time for another FOIA.
Meanwhile, the bottom line reflects the desired effect:
“It really doesn’t matter what we think,’’ Thomas said. “We’re going to do what we’re told to do.”You remember that and we just may let you live.
Looks Like Rain
NRA-Board Member, Joel Friedman, Speaks Out on the NRA’s Record [More]What this does is it redirects the conversation over to points that don't directly deny any of the allegations. The other thing it doesn't do is mention the "intern." The last thing it doesn't do is persuade disgusted members to reopen their wallets.
Fletcher's unimpressed.

Nothing Fails Like Failure
President Trump vowed millions of immigration arrests in dramatic raids. ICE caught 18 family members. [More]And that's actually more impressive than progress on the promised wall.
At least the "migrants" are already adapting to being Democrats.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."
Right, "saviors"?
