Blind Pig Finds Acorn
The following email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Michael G merits sharing:
After their initial panic, they tell us Red Flag laws violate rights and don't work, that universal background checks violate rights and are unconstitutional, that assault weapons bans haven't worked... Peter may have denied Christ three times, but it was still only a single night and he was ever faithful after that. Maybe NR could grow a spine if they took some of their own advice.It's more a matter of different authors being given a forum there. The French Mistake still sounds like steam escaping.
Nice Court You Got Here. Shame if Something...Happened to It
The senator predicted a ruling against the City would inflame progressive efforts to pack the high court. [More]So Sheldon Whitehouse is trying to extort them into ruling his way?
Besides, it's not like that won't happen regardless of what SCOTUS does if the Demoncrats take it all.

'Wares of War'
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, announced his legislation on Sunday to require FBI permission before anyone except law enforcement could buy what he termed “sophisticated body armor,” setting a bar that would require a clear purpose, such as an occupational requirement, for the buyer to seek the safety equipment. [More]You know, "Only Ones." The rest of you we want to keep vulnerable.
It's been tried before.
Be a hoot if he unintentionally banned these...

Feature Presentation
Epstein dead or alive? Body photos raise questions [More]This is like watching an old"Mission Impossible" episode. If true -- and since when do features like nose and ear shapes lie? -- it means he had a secured "In the event of my death" release prepared and ready to go.
And it means a lot more than that.
Commonsense Metaphor Safety Laws
The Ohio Highway Patrol is reviewing comments made by a leader of a pro-gun rights group following the unveiling of a package of gun control proposals by Gov. Mike DeWine. [More]That's has a more chilling effect than anything Chris Dorr said.

DeWine's Infringement Initiative
Q&A on Gov. DeWine's Safety Initiative [More]First, I wouldn't call it that.
Good on BFA for opposing registration-enabling and red herring edicts.
That said, as far as "enforce existing gun laws" goes, I've always equated that with "enforcing existing Intolerable Acts." And as far as enhanced "felon with a gun" punishments, that net could catch those who will not comply, or alternatively, act as a flimsy sieve to allow those who can't be trusted without a custodian to remain predatory dangers stalking among us.

Friend of the Devil
Friend of gunman in Ohio mass shooting faces federal gun charges: prosecutors [More]What a dumbass, giving authorities all they need to hang him by his thumbs.
And latter-day Esaus, take note.

Well, We See Who the Unreasonable Ones Are
And some in the pro-Second Amendment camp have been known to mock people calling for new gun laws when they use incorrect terminology in reference to firearms. [More]How rude, expecting people who want the government to kill you if you don't obey them to know what they're talking about.

A Perfect Opportunity
‘Moms against Guns’ lead agitator, Shannon Watts, is coming to town to dictate the joys of gun control to North Carolina’s citizens, and our own WBTV is giving her the platform to do it… GRNC is requesting that its supporters attend the event as audience members. [More]Someone ask her about flacking for Roundup.
Like a Dog Returning to Its Vomit
“I’m in Australia, they don’t have problems like this. This is starting to be a uniquely American situation. I am a gun owner and strong Second Amendment person,” Pirro said. [More]I noticed.
Rights at a Premium
San Jose mayor proposes 1st-in-nation insurance requirement for gun owners [More]And then all you need to do is pressure insurance companies to not offer such coverage.
Still, this looks like it could be another Mr. Benny moment.

Gunkapos Wanted. Inquire Within
More so than anti-gun advocates, we need gun owners to speak up about how to stop this contagion. To advocate for the policies and positions we agree on. [More]You know, Fudds 'n frauds to help create an illusion of credibility for when we lie.
Where's AHSA when you need 'em?

And This Differs from a Poll Tax How?
Elizabeth Warren plans include using tax code to deprive law-abiding citizens of 2nd Amendment rights [More]Mostly poor Democrat constituents though, so let me ask Mr. Benny...

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise
UK: Going Easy on ISIS Terrorists, Hard on Those Who Fought Them? [More]Just don't make fun of anybody's hair and it'll all be fine.

Sounds Like an Oxymoron to Me
Another Honest Liberal Pours Cold Water on Gun Control [More]Yeah? Who they votin' for?
[Via Michael G]
All Part of the Grand Design
Trump has always come through in the end... [More]Like he did with "bump stocks"?
I'm not all that confident in a "Don't worry, he's really lying" strategy anyway. That's not how the Founders sold the Second Amendment. Does anybody hear any Republican politicians using their bully pulpits to elaborate on why it was included in the Bill of Rights, and what we stand to lose if its recognition is eviscerated?
I pray the apologists are right, that the guy is mostly making noise for political reasons.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't too, and loud enough for the president to hear on the chance he's testing how far he can go.
