“Had Plaintiffs wished to have their allegations judged under Heller or McDonald, they could have raised a claim under the Second Amendment,” the opinion noted. “But they chose to challenge HB 1224 solely on state constitutional grounds. [More]The graphic is a bit off because the argument was limited to the state constitution. Even if it had been 2A-centered, my read is that the robed apparatchiks would have found other reasons to "justify" their subversion.

Derailing the Wokinistas
North Carolina Alert
NC House Representative Larry Pittman (District 83, GRNC ****), has been the most reliable, hard-fighting ally that gun owners have in the General Assembly. He has sponsored and supported bills responsible for many of the advances that gun owners have made in our state, and he has never wavered. Larry has fought for North Carolina gun owners, and now he needs your help. [More]He looks good on a lot of stuff.
Plus he has guts.
I'm wondering just what kind of North Carolina gun owner wouldn't help.
Three for Three
Woman famous for confronting Beto O'Rourke over gun rights wins GOP primary election in major upset [More]What with Thomas Massie and Madison Cawthorn, that makes a spate, and makes it fair to ask Donald Trump if he wonders why he keeps getting betrayed by insiders who are squishy on the goals that got him elected.

Chop CHOP
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan issued an Executive Order regarding the East Precinct and Cal Anderson Park area today. The order declared the gathering in this area as an “unlawful assembly” requiring immediate action from city agencies, including the Seattle Police Department. [More]While the lives and livelihoods of mere taxpayers were expendable, I guess things just got a little too close to home.
A Winning Formula
But, the Democrats, in order to win this election, like many others in the past, need it to be about race... [More]And no, of course the elites won't give up anything themselves.
That's hardly the point, now, is it?

Quantum Leap
“We always talked about gun violence, especially in our community,” she added. “And as much as we talk about black power and unity, but it’s like we’re killing each other and there is no one to step forward and say, ‘This is it.’ It just has to end one way or another.” [More]Absolutely right. Too bad I can't say that without fear of being smeared a hater.
And her solution?
“I just think they should ban guns,” she said.[Via bondmen]
The Road to Hell
Two people were arrested Tuesday night in connection with the shooting of a motorist during a protest near the Provo Police Department the night before. [More]This story does an excellent job of hiding which side they were on.

Virginia Senate Democrats consider ‘defelonizing’ assault against law enforcement officers [More]And let's hear it for more citizen disarmament!
Maybe this is the only way for normal people to realize not only do police have no duty to protect them, like the Broward Coward, they have every reason to just hide and wait until everything is over.

The Backstory
There's Good News and There's Bad News
The good news is that there is legislation that can shut off the financial blacklist. Representative Roger Williams (R-TX) has introduced HR 2079, the Freedom Financing Act. This legislation pretty much tells major banks, credit unions, and credit card companies that they cannot discriminate on the basis of “reputational risks.” [More]And the bad news is:
Prognosis3% chance of being enacted...Let the "Blue Wave" come in November and it'll be "0%."

The Usual Suspects
Thanks for the Lift. Now Get Out.
“[Northam’s] actions show no understanding of the anti-Black racism that infects our civil and social structures, accepts the police version of the facts and demonstrates an unwillingness to recognize that treating people as enemy combatants invites violence rather than quells it,” the civil rights group said. [More]Sorry, Gov. Blackface. It happens in every "revolution." If you're not radical enough, they'll turn on you when your usefulness is up.
Because there can be only one!
And guess who that will be when those who reject all rules but theirs try to make you live up to yours.
That's Rule 4, right...?

We'll Leave the Seat Up for Ya
"Couldn't be more proud of an effort, in just a few months to get 14,200 individuals off the streets our of encampments and into units like this," said Governor Newsom. "We're here at a facility [with] 131 rooms, almost every single one of them occupied with over 164 individuals behind these doors, getting support services, getting three meals a day." [More]Hey, it's not his money. And it does hide the problem better than "tent cities" under bridges, at least for a while.
Let's revisit in a year and see what's still habitable.
The Grasshopper, before shooting up, killing a prostitute and defecating on the floor...
Maybe they can send one of those unarmed "community responders" to deal with it.
VA Background Check Expansion Push Ignores Reality and Less-Intrusive Alternative
It’s very name though, is a denial of reality, meaning the promise of a safer country through infringement of the right to keep and bear arms is not possible, as well as a direct contradiction of the Founders' wisdom. What Friedman and his kind never seem to grok (or do, but admitting it would spoil the trick) is that the problem is with “dangerous people.” [More]Swindlers gonna swindle...
