“The pieces of the legislation that weren't talked about were the pieces about reorganizing the code, the weapons code…basically criminalizing youth a little bit more.” CdeBaca said. “I think this emerged from the protests.

Money to Burn

Yesterday, the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County issued a preliminary injunction against the City of Philadelphia, halting the City’s enforcement of its recently enacted ordinances banning the making of homemade firearms and the use of 3D printers to make guns and gun parts.  Gun Owners of America (GOA) sued the City in Pennsylvania state court last May, challenging the ordinances.

Sorry, I don't have a link to this yet. I expect at some point the website will post the entire text from the email. What's clear is the kleptocrat violence monopolists don't care how much tax plunder they flush down the legal toilet as long as they have enough voters who either believe they are "doing something" -- or know that they aren't but don't care because their bread is being buttered.

Richard Cullen to leave McGuireWoods to serve as counselor to Youngkin [More]

The same enemy inside the gates who said this?

The proposed restrictions have also received strong backing from Richard Cullen, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who says gunrunners consider Virginia a "handgun supermarket."

"They come into the state and go into a store and buy handguns by the dozens, with hardly a question asked," Mr. Cullen said. "Then they haul the guns north and sell them on the street for cash or drugs at profits of 300 and 400 percent. No other East Coast state has gun laws as lax as Virginia's laws -- not South Carolina, not Georgia, not Florida. Nobody. This has to stop."... "New laws aren't the answer to this problem," said S. Vance Wilkins Jr., the House minority leader who is a major opponent of restrictions on gun sales ... Mr. Cullen disagrees. "We've tried everything else," he said, "and now we've got to take extra steps."

And this?
U.S. Attorney Richard Cullen, a Republican who joined forces with Democrat Wilder to boost the idea, said passage of the bill "will have a substantial impact on gun trafficking out of Virginia."
I hate to say "I told you so."

No? Then seeing as how we can all agree it's "settled science," why does this only have to come up in divorce cases? Why can't the schools require such information and report noncompliances to Child Protective Services, so they can rescue the children and bring them into safe, gun-free sanctuaries?

Without Gaslighting and Projection, Gun Prohibitionists Have Nothing


They’re counting on most being too intimidated to fight back lest they be singled out for “cancellation.” I propose instead to point and laugh at their impotent rage, triggered more than anything by a solemn vow a critical mass of us have made to ourselves, to those we love and protect, and especially to the hive-minded who think it ultimately depends on how many traitors they can get elected: “WE WILL NOT DISARM.” [More]

I count two dozen environmentalcases, max. That's national news?

Be nice to see the professional credentialing each of them has, you know, to establish they actually know what they're screaming about instead of just being useful idiot tools?

I take it they're all vegans...?

Everyday People

There goes the narrative... [Watch]

My bet is damn near everyone there last Jan. 6 were gun owners, so if it were really an "insurrection" they'd have taken the Capitol. That they weren't armed shows they overwhelmingly subscribed to "law-abiding" ideals. And notice how little we're hearing of provocateurs.

The blaming of "right-wing news" has everything to do with the demonstrable fact that the DSM has deservedly lost all trust, and I note his disparaging those questioning the legitimacy of Biden's presidency simply dismisses all the evidence being suppressed as "baseless." Likewise, dismissing "replacement" concerns completely ignores amnesty/pathway to citizenship subversion.

A significant and growing number of Americans no longer believe they have a voice and thus "consent of the governed" no longer applies to them. The "official" and media/big tech response is to step up the gaslighting.

We see how Ashlee Babbitt could be murdered with no repercussions. We see how those led into the building are now political prisoners tracked down by Big Brother spy tech. Is it really so unwarranted to fear a discrediting-motivated Reichstag Fire exploiting some low-hanging fruit, with all information afterward carefully controlled?

We're the Only Ones Going Deep Enough

I'm surprised it took an insider this long to conclude it was being run by lunatics when some of us outsiders have known for years.

Good points! I've always said we don't stick anywhere near enough hands in boiling oil.

We're the Only Ones Questioning Enough

“I just felt very violated, like they violated his Fifth Amendment right, (which protects people from self-incrimination),” he said. “He’s not a lawyer. He’s not an adult. He doesn’t know our complex legal system. “He should have been interviewed either in our home or we could have went down to the police station or we could have refused to do an interview. (If I had known they were going to interview him), I would have probably hired an attorney to be present.” [More]

I so instructed both my sons when they were ready to understand the concept and why. It's amazing to me how many adults still don't get it.

As an aside, the kid is 15 and Democrats tell us in one more year he'll be competent to vote.

I've speculated his biggest objection to the Dem plan was how environmentalcase demands would impact him.

In any case, here's all I will ever need to know about the guy.

Take the advantage his self-interests provided and drive away.
