...And Some Bad News
Meanwhile, Oregon is about to become the test case for another national issue. The OFF supported “Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance” was passed by the voters in Columbia County. The commissioners in the county then took the passed ordinance, rewrote it and then asked for “judicial review” of the ordinance as changed by them. While anti-gun forces were alerted to this request and then joined in the legal action, pro-gunners, including the people responsible for passing the ordinance, were kept in the dark and then blind sided by the inside effort to overturn it.

SCOTUS Gets One Right
Held: Neither the holding nor logic of Cady justifies such warrantless searches and seizures in the home. Cady held that a warrantless search of an impounded vehicle for an unsecured firearm did not violate the Fourth Amendment. In reaching this conclusion, the Court noted that the officers who patrol the “public highways” are often called to discharge noncriminal “community caretaking functions,” such as responding to disabled vehicles or investigating accidents. 413 U. S., at 441. But searches of vehicles and homes are constitutionally different, as the Cady opinion repeatedly stressed. Id., at 439, 440– 442. The very core of the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee is the right of a person to retreat into his or her home and “there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.” Florida v. Jardines, 569 U. S. 1, 6. A recognition of the existence of “community caretaking” tasks, like rendering aid to motorists in disabled vehicles, is not an open-ended license to perform them anywhere. Pp. 3–4. 953 F. 3d 112, vacated and remanded. [More]

So this is either inexcusable incompetence and laziness, or outright criminality. Either way, if this happened at an FFL's place of business, he would be shuttered and facing charges.

Here We Go Again
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) along with four Philadelphians have filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate Philadelphia’s illegal and unconstitutional prohibition on its residents and citizens from making and finishing firearms for their own private use. Pennsylvania Courts have told Philadelphia no less than three times that they are not permitted to locally regulate firearms, as defined in PA Code Title 18, Section 6120. However, Philadelphia politicians either don’t listen or don’t care, instead wasting taxpayer money on ineffectual and illegal legislation. [More]

Latuda and Dupixent spots both share side effect warnings. How do they know? Because of empirical studies that have identified risks so that prospective recipients can make informed choices.
The "Come get your vaccine" commercial shares none of that because the studies have not been done. Instead, viewers are emotionally manipulated into identifying with the recipients by the use of the power words "commitment, confidence, trust," and "joy."

Gun buyback programs (GBPs), which use public funds to purchase civilians' privately-owned firearms, aim to reduce gun violence.

Given our estimated null findings, with 95 percent confidence, we can rule out decreases in firearm-related crime of greater than 1.3 percent during the year following a buyback. Using data from the National Vital Statistics System, we also find no evidence that GBPs reduce suicides or homicides where a firearm was involved. [More]

However, the Senate created a worse problem. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick was told ahead of time that at least one of the Senate amendments if adopted, would violate House rules. This would allow the anti-gunners to kill Constitutional Carry in the House on a technical violation — before the House could even decide to concur or go to a conference committee. Despite knowing this, the Lt. Governor still pushed through his packet of amendments and refused to listen to multiple warnings. [More]

Google has decided it will no longer support Feedburner, so I've removed that gadget from the sidebar over there on the left. I already have a "Follow by Email" gadget where readers can sign up for updates to this blog, and just under it I am trying out Follow.it.
I'm told they will not spam you and share email addresses.
Having all the modern technical skills of someone still stuck on "C://" prompts who once used engineering drawings and parts lists to manually fill out 80-column forms and send them to a department called "Keypunch" to produce cards that were run through a tape drive mainframe to generate huge tractor-fed dot matrix-printed indentured product structure/bills of material reports, I'm afraid I'm a bit stuck finding the right place in the template to insert activating new-fangled, consarned kid-designed HTML code.

"I'm only aware of one person that is openly aligned himself with Gross and I'm not going to bother mentioning his name because he's a red flag law supporter and a charlatan.

Because you never know when you'll need to report them. For the public good.
There are a lot of things a good community member will need to ascertain about proper actions and views.

The goal of the proposed rule is to ensure the proper marking, recordkeeping, and traceability of all firearms manufactured, imported, acquired and disposed by federal firearms licensees. [More]
After it's published in the Federal Register it will be posted at Regulations.gov for a 90-day "comments" period, as if their minds aren't already made up. In the meantime, here's the beast in question:
