Secret Disarmament Lists to Deny Rights are No Way to Run a Free Country

So unelected bureaucrats have assigned to themselves the power to deny fundamental rights supposedly guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and it’s on the innocent would-be gun owner caught up in their screwup to prove his innocence -- and hope he won’t need to take out a second mortgage to cover lawyer fees if the government gets it wrong again. Meanwhile, as Martin Luther King once observed, a right delayed is a right denied. And for the hapless citizen who lacks the wherewithal to fight it, the phrase “Sucks to be you” comes to mind.

"No Buy Lists" with cancel culture-fueled presumed guilt and the absence of due process? What could go wrong?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Honor' Is

 One of the nation's leading gun-control groups on Monday entered Florida's highly contested Senate race, endorsing Democratic congresswoman Val Demings over Republican incumbent Marco Rubio. [More]

I guess having your negligently stored gun stolen deserves some kind of "commonsense safety" award.

Fear not. Marco is working hard to douse any remaining fire in the bellies of his gun-owning consitutents.

Speaking of Human Rights Violations...

To help his team optimize their designs, Cheng and his employees, over the course of the six-month project, bought more than 60 replica guns on Taobao, one of China’s most popular shopping platforms, owned by tech giant Alibaba. None of the toy guns were lethal, according to the listed product descriptions, and each cost less than $20 ... In June 2017, police showed up at Cheng’s Beijing residence and arrested him on charges of holding guns illegally. A total of 137 people, employees and their family members, were arrested in the same case... [More]

That'll teach him!

 “The conduct of a gun industry member shall be deemed to constitute a proximate cause of the public nuisance if the harm to the public was a reasonably foreseeable effect of such conduct, notwithstanding  any intervening actions, including but not limited to criminal actions by third parties.” [More]

So Garden State authoritarian swine don't just demand that you not have guns -- they demand you not talk about them approvingly?

The perversion is the policy that he supports, that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is forbidden in the one place that requires vulnerable children to gather en masse.

He provides a good analysis of what is going on with "bump stocks" in the courts, but I don't see where the title conclusion is coming from. They may or may not hear it and if they do, there are no guarantees on who they'll "smack down."

I do have a "logic" question for the Supreme Court: 

If a bump stock is legally a machinegun and I turned and raised it when confronted by law enforcement, would they be legally protected if they shot me because I didn't put down a "gun"?

Wasn't it just a month ago they "put in a request on Tuesday to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to authorize third doses for all adults who are at least 18 years old"?

At what point does it become obvious to all that people who can't predict short-term effects are utterly incapable of predicting the long-term ones? At what point does believing the most outlandish "conspiracy theories" over the official one become the more rational alternative?
