Rhode Island Stun Gun Ban Ruled Unconstitutional

"Consequently, Judgment shall enter in favor of Plaintiffs. Defendants are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from enforcing § 11-47-42(a) as related to stun guns. IT IS SO ORDERED.” [More]

Another 2A win for Beck and Stamboulieh, one of the most effective (yet underreported because they work independently of the fundraising big boys) legal team-ups out there defending our rights.

Blast from the Past

 Justice is served. [Watch]

Today, anyone who agrees with that sentiment is a hater.

♫ So Look for the Union Label ♫

 Opinion: This country’s epidemic of gun violence is a workplace issue [More]

That's a longtime Democrat dream.

We're the Only Ones Unconstitutional Enough

 Last week, the General Assembly passed constitutional carry, which would eliminate the license requirement to carry a handgun. With 23 years in law enforcement, I have witnessed first-hand the devastation caused by illegally possessed guns. Families have been destroyed and neighborhoods stained with trauma after a murder. [More]

What does one have to do with the other, aside from NOTHING?

Who is surprised Indy Star, a Gannett Publication, "part of the USA Today Network," is shamelessly spreading what they know to be lies yet again?

If you're an Indiana gun owner, remind Gov. Holcomb who endorsed him, and ask him what's the holdup.

A Welcome Ally

 While the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association usually isn’t embattled in debates over gun rights, Tim Bittle, the group’s director of legal affairs, said they step in “anytime government tells citizens they have to part with their money.” [More]

Rights are interrelated and threats to one are threats to all. The phony "single issue" excuse is just that.

Stand Your Rights

 “We need a Second Amendment immunity defense for anything involving the lawful possession of a firearm,” said former Florida prosecutor Lisa Chittaro. “It should mirror Stand Your Ground statutes, but it needs to be broader. It should allow defense attorneys to ask the court to find immunity under the protections of the Second Amendment quickly and efficiently and if they don’t, it should provide a quick route to the appellate level without having to go through the entire court process, which can take years.” [More]

Could you guys add provisions for public floggings of infringers...? With pay-per-view proceeds going into a gun owner defense fund war chest?

The Friend of Our Enemies

 Biden may remove Iran's Revolutionary Guard from terrorist list [More]

Well, yeah. It's not like they're Oath Keepers or Threepers or anything...

Tyranny of the Minority

 Some people sure have a disproportionate amount of influence. [More]

I wonder how much of that is from how TV portrays things.

New York State of Mind

 A group of dirt bike riders beat a man and his son on a Harlem street Tuesday afternoon... [More]

Thank God they weren't allowed the means of self-defense that could have deterred any violence before it started, right?

An Ounce of Prevention

 The federal government will pay a $127.5 million settlement over the Parkland, Fla. school massacre — after it admitted the FBI didn’t follow up on two tips that could have prevented the massacre. [More]

I thought it was NRA's fault. At least that's what Teen Vogue, taking a break from indoctrinating minors in the joys of anal sex, was saying...

 'Violent' Chicago man out on bond for multiple felonies allegedly fires gun in restaurant [More]

Captain's Log

 HPS: Have you ever taken a course in formal (classical) or modal logic?

DM: No and I don’t have to in order to know that you’re a Nazi because you don’t love Putin. [More]

I have a Firearms News piece coming out soon exploring this divide.

The Spice of Life

 Incredible scene in Chinatown… Hundreds of Asians line up to buy pepper spray… [More]

No... that's not true... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!

The House Commissar on Un-American Activities

 Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier claimed Monday that bucking the Biden administration's narrative on the intensifying gas price crisis is "un-American." [More]

And Kim knows a thing or two about being un-American.

AzCDL Action Alert - SB 1177

This week we need to provide some encouragement for another important gun bill--SB 1177. This bill would require the Department of Public Safety to send a renewal reminder notice and renewal application to holders of concealed weapons permits at least 60 days before the expiration date of a permit. [More]

If you're an Arizona gun owner and reciprocity is important to you...

For the Children

 CNN’s Brian Stelter insisted that opposing a Florida bill that would bar schools from teaching children about gender identity and sexual orientation from kindergarten through third grade is “not a culture war”; it is merely supporting “equal rights for everybody in a country.”  [More]

Does that smile give anyone else the shuddering creeps? 

What about relying on Disney to be "a moral guardian"?

My reaction to that could not be stated more succinctly.

All-American, But First Give Me Power Over You

 Dr. Oz says he will relinquish Turkish citizenship if he wins Senate seat [More]

Why didn't he do that years ago out of loyalty and gratitude?

That he instead views this as a PR bargaining chip advantageous to his ambitions, and that he rejects and subverts the freedoms that made this the place his family immigrated to tells us all we need to know about this narcissistic, citizen disarmament-advocating fraud

Some of us would prefer he renounced his U.S.citizenship.

Higher Learning

 Hillsdale College is one of the only openly conservative colleges in the United States and the left despises them for merely being allowed to exist. [More]

If only more Americans read moral, insightful, and inspiring Imprimis rather than -- good grief -- Salon.

The Shape of Things to Come

 Unconstitutional policy in Colorado bans posters with ‘hate speech’ [More]

That should probably include anything by anyone featured on SPLC's "Hate Watch."

Nice of them to float trial balloons to tell us what they have in mind once they reckon they can get away with it...
