For the Children

House Bill 1189, sponsored by state Representative Barbara Norton (D-Shreveport), would make it a crime to intentionally, or with criminal negligence, expose children, age ten and under, to firearms that are not locked in a container or equipped with a locking device.  If passed and enacted into law, HB 1189 would require all Louisianans with children in this age group to render firearms inoperable, thereby hindering their immediate use for protection and failing to take into account each family’s own self-defense needs.

Whatever Supreme Court decides in gun carry case, infringements will continue

While different legal minds and "informed" court-watchers are nattering on about judicial review, and whether intermediate or strict scrutiny should apply (and perhaps even contesting how many angels can dance on the head of a pin), what the High Court will not address, should they elect to hear the case, are the clear words those of us, without robes and law degrees and political connections with attendant obligations, understand instinctively: 

"... shall not be infringed." [More]
My latest JPFO Alert notes an admittedly important decision may be forthcoming, but even if it is, and even if it's in our favor, the core principle at the heart of the right to keep and bear arms will still have not been touched.

Again they're wrong. I don't fear them taking our guns. I don't think they can. And if they fear us taking their children, well, paranoia is a sickness that says a lot about its sufferers.

I'm still not all that certain we should have pulled back on this.  As I said to Jeff Knox in "comments":
Jeff, I am not convinced either, but if I am going to publicly pin it on the Bloombergians, proof is needed. While I have not seen them crowing about this, which favors the suspicion that they would rather not call attention to the source for reasons of their own, the standard I am compelled to use is one of reasonable doubt. As such, the presumption is "not guilty." Perhaps your contacts and investigative skills will strike pay dirt, in which case you will have a scoop that will draw much deserved attention for TFC. I know I'm going to keep looking. As the links I provide above show, assuming guns fire rounds with casings is something we have seen in the past.

  • Information on preparedness and response capabilities.
If you feel otherwise, I won't dissuade you. But for me, if some goblin is in my house, I don't want him to even know I was there, let alone where I was and what my preparations were, until he wakes up in hell and they tell him.

Kansas Jewish facility shootings show 'Never again' must be more than words

He also had good reason to suspect his target locations would offer slim resistance. A phone call placed by an ally working with the Kansas State Rifle Association to the Jewish Center went unanswered due to the Passover holiday, but a call to Village Shalom confirmed they are posted "No Guns." A follow-up visit this morning showed both facilities are posted. Even though such signs don't carry the force of law in the Sunflower State, except to pursue trespass charges if a person asked refuses to leave, they serve to establish both a notice to those with evil intent, as well as a cultural expectation among patrons and visitors, so that even people in parking lots who habitually frequent such facilities will likely not be armed.

A Flat Response

I've been asked why I don't write something in support of flat tax proposals.  Here's what I replied:
I try to stay within the basic confines of the gun issue even though so many other areas cry out--RKBA just seems the best place to apply my energies, plus I don't have a forum for essays outside of that. In re a flat tax, without forcing the govt back into proper Constitutional restraints, that won't stanch the spending and borrowing, it will simply change which pocket they get their plunder from, and I don't believe it would be possible politically to enact without carving out means-based exemptions to ensure Democrat dependency reigns supreme--and to continue bleeding the productive.  I would actually prefer the feds having to go to the states for funds based on apportionment, which would certainly cause some to challenge, withhold, sue, delay, rebel, and explore what they can do cheaper for themselves or do away with altogether--that along with returning appointments of senators to state legislatures to get rid of urban domination and give us a more direct and effective way of extracting revenge for bad confirmation votes would be two reforms I'd like to be able to wave my magic wand to enact.

And There Was War in Heaven

With his racketeering conviction overturned, a former top official for international gun manufacturer Glock Inc. is seeking civil damages from the city of Smyrna and its police department for launching an unwarranted criminal investigation of him at what he claims was Glock's behest. [More]
