More Precarious than We Know

Heller’s Precarious Situation [More]
There's a reason for that which nobody wants to admit. Most get mad, assume he's saying what he's not and dismiss it without thoroughly reading and understanding what he's advocating -- or even trying to.

I plan to do a longer piece soon to address that. I'd title it "The Plight of the Cassandra," but too many wouldn't get why.

Making Red Flags Too Expensive to Fly May Just be the Key

The court calls limiting state and U.S. Constitutional rights to own a gun a serious penalty that a jury should decide. [More]
It looks like a felony, smells like a felony, tastes like a felony... sure glad we didn't step in it!

The Constituent Protection Act of 2019

Democrats frown on targeting gang databases with 'red flag' laws [More]
Well, yeah.

Nobody actually thinks this is about crime control, do they?  How self-defeating would that be?

That'll Sure Foil Their Plans!

Conway: Mass shootings will not be 'the excuse for liberals and socialists' to 'confiscate' guns [More]
We'll confiscate 'em first!

Speaking of Trends...

Holden was a convicted felon, and background check laws prevented him from purchasing a firearm legally. So he came up with a workaround that federal authorities say is part of a statewide trend: He recruited a friend to purchase guns in a place with fewer gun restrictions than the Bay Area — in this case, Las Vegas, Nevada — and bring them back. [More]
With an average time-to-crime of 11.7 years, methinks the "pipeline" is clogged.

And what they're not saying, because that doesn't help them gin up the "OMG we need to grab guns everywhere!" hysteria, is that "not all firearms traced are used in crime," and that California, with its draconian disarmament diktats, was the source for 17,397 firearms in 2017, and "lax" Nevada was only the source for 1,554.

But hey, when you've got an agenda, nothing spooks the herd quite like anecdotes, right, Mercury "News"?

Gallup: 83% Blame 'Failure of Mental Health System' for Contributing to Mass Shootings [More]

Something Wicked This Way Comes

White House prepares gun proposals, but where Trump stands is unclear [More]
If he wasn't for them, they wouldn't be preparing them.

In re the "app," since we know the goal is confiscation-enabling registration, it's not in the rulers' interests (and curiously, the interests of the rice bowl gun groups) to even acknowledge, let alone propose a system like BIDS.

[Via Bear]

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

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, has introduced legislation that would require gun owners to obtain a 5-year federal license to "buy and possess" a firearm.[More]
I guess sanctuary cities for undocumented gun owners will be off the table...?

UnAmerican Heritage

Given the recent tragic shootings, historians should play a role in providing dispassionate facts about the history of gun rights and gun control. [More]
Agreed.  Except after leafing through some of the resulting articles, it's pretty obvious they agree more with Burger than with Scalia, embrace all kinds of infringements and advance more than one strawman doing it. That said, there is some stuff they got right that I'll be able to use later, so I'm going to hold onto this as a reference resource, albeit not one I consider to be other than marginally useful for the sources it cites.

Don't just primary this piece of crap, do whatever it takes to see him defeated.

The Surge

August gun sales were up 15% thanks to Democrats’ totalitarian demands for mandatory buybacks. Those who bought guns were Americans seeking self-protection and with deep concerns that President Donald Trump is on board with gun control. [More]

“We’re looking at background checks and we’re looking at putting everything together in a unified way so that we can have something that’s meaningful,” Trump said, adding that, “At the same time, all of us want to protect our great Second Amendment. It’s very important to all of us.” [More]

Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman today announced the members of the Arizona Department of Education’s School Safety Task Force. The task force was created in partnership with March for Our Lives AZ after attempts to create such a task force failed at the Legislature during the last legislative session. [More]
Do I understand this right? The legislature refused to authorize it, so she's going ahead on her own say-so and using public insignia, resources, facilities, and personnel to promote a political agenda?

Forget "Why don't they fire her?" Why don't they arrest her, and everyone involved?

Terror Watch List Ruling Can Help Expose Gun Prohibitionist Tyranny

If being on that list is going to prevent you (but not criminals or real terrorists) from buying firearms, who thinks the next step won‘t be to confiscate the guns you already own? (That’s where registration lists, which the National Institute of Justice acknowledges are necessary for “universal background checks” to “work,” can come in so handy, especially when supplemented with so-called “red flag laws.”) And if you are one of those real terrorists and are dumb enough to fill out a Form 4473 and submit yourself to a NICS approval, what better way to be tipped off that you’ve been “made” than to be helpfully told the feds won’t allow your firearm transfer to proceed? [More]
They don't just want your guns. They view you as an existential threat to totalitarian control and want you in the gulag or the ditch.  But don't take my word for it. Take theirs.
