Amicus Brief Supports GOA Bumpstock Complaint

 

“As such, they have an interest in the outcome of this case because a positive ruling in the instant matter will assist them in their efforts to have their lawful property returned to them in the future and will help guide other courts in reaching the correct conclusion which is that bump stocks are not machineguns,” the brief explains.

We're not out of the fight yet.

With 'Republicans' Like These...

Anyone who votes for this enemy inside the gates is just as much a useful idiot as any doctrinaire Democrat.

When the Chipman's are Down

 

It looks like Dems are preparing for a fail, with some hoping this embarrassment will fall on his sword and end things, but it won't be over 'til it's over. The important thing is for Republicans to not just fall in line to approve the next Sith Lord offered because he could end up being more dangerous, especially if competent...

Mike Enzi, RIP

 Ex-US Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming dies after bicycle accident [More]

Looks like he was better than most on guns and on that issue "Gun Rights Leaders" won't talk about.

Because She Can

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said Tuesday she suspended the concealed carry licenses of 22 people charged in connection to the Capitol insurrection "instigated by Donald Trump."  ... Fried's office said more suspensions and revocations could be on the table. [More]

So she's lying about a lie to deny rights without due process-- and running for governor, which idiot Democrat voters will be happy to surrender power to.

How does it work in Florida? The "pro-gun" governor can't fire her?

We're the Only Ones Winning Enough

 When cops and America’s cherished gun rights clash, cops win [More]

Well, yeah, We're generally already home at the end of our shifts, so they get priority.

I had an email conversation with WarOnGuns Correspondent 1Gat about the overworked contention that "most regular officers support the right to bear arms," and I agree with him that such claims don't appear to outweigh the "only following orders" side of things.

There's a way to test that for anyone who disagrees. Simply inform your favorite LEO that you are peaceably bearing arms without a required permit in a "gun-free zone" or show him that you peaceably keep a firearm the government says you're not allowed to have, and you can prove to yourself how supportive he is.

As Steven Crowder says, change my mind.

Questions

 What lasting physical injuries did he sustain, and how do those compare to, say, Ashley Babbitt's? [More]

And is it really so wrong to suspect "Democrat"?

A Common Thread

Anti-Gunners Like Rep. Steve Woodrow Would Rather See You Die Than Defend Yourself With a Firearm [More]

Yes. They all would.

The Revolution of Our Times

Critics say China's law, which came into effect in July last year, was tailor-made to bring Hong Kong's massive pro-democracy movement to heel.  [More]

Interesting, that the chief mandarin tightening the grip is named "Carrie"...

Meanwhile, our own rope-selling culture cancelers can't suck up hard enough.

You might say they're state of the art.

We're the Only Ones Deceptive Enough

We're the Only Ones Withdrawn Enough

 Federal authorities have suffered two new court setbacks in their attempt to confiscate tens of millions of dollars seized from Beverly Hills safe deposit boxes that the government was legally barred from searching. [More]

In other words, they robbed a bank and haven't been arrested and charged?

They Livin' It Up at the Hotel California

 Congressman Eric Swalwell, 40, who was caught in a 'honeytrap with Chinese spy Fang Fang', spent $20K in Democrat campaign funds at the hotel where his wife Brittan worked, FEC filings reveal [More]

I guess "loyalty program" means to the hotel.

Nice of media puff pieces to refer to the Swalwell's as "the happy couple"...

Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts? Really?

Instead of prosecuting gun crimes to the fullest extent, to protect the public, Krasner, working the other side of the fence, gives every criminal a break who was caught with an illegal gun ... Under D.A. Krasner, the city runs a revolving door for defendants arrested for gun crimes. [More]

I don't like Soros DAs any better than the next guy, but this is where "enforce existing gun law" types lose me.

How about we just focus on crimes?

I speak as a long-time unindicted "gun criminal."

If a criminal has proven he can't be trusted with a gun, or anything else, what is he doing without a custodian?

Must Be the Gun's Fault

 

The man who went on a deadly shooting rampage Sunday on Tucson's south side has a criminal record and a history of "mental health issues," Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus said at a news conference Monday afternoon ... Scarlett, who served six years in prison for attempted armed robbery, was not permitted to possess a firearm, and police don't know but are investigating how he obtained the gun, Magnus said. [More]

So it had been determined that he could be trusted without a custodian before they let him out...? No?
