FYI on David Codrea's blog
 
David Codrea has been fighting the good fight in this arena for a very long time. Awhile back he'd made the decision finally to ditch his bloghost after they, without notice or justification, simply "disappeared" one of his more tame pieces.

For those who may look for his product from time to time, here's his latest home:

As mentioned in another post there, he's still learning some of the foibles of a new system so focus on the content, which is typically top-notch.

New stuff in the federal register.

https://www.federalregister.gov/docu...on-of-firearms

Go down to the third paragraph of the executive summary, and read the first sentence.

“In the past few years, some courts have treated the regulatory definition of “firearm frame or receiver” as inflexible when applied to the lower portion of the AR-15-type rifle, one of the most popular firearms in the United States.”

Ironically, this has pro-gun implications when considering the “arms in common use” test from Heller v. D.C.
Time to strike down some state assault weapon bans.

All gun laws are repulsive to the USC.

“Shall Not be Infringed” is a pretty straight forward phrase that has been completely ignored. When the tyrant ignores the laws, resistance is not only justified, but required.

With the republicans outnumbered in house and senate I suppose this will pass (lack of capitalizing those nouns is intentional). Obviously quite unconstitutional but definitely not beyond the realm of reality of becoming a law....especially in the circus we live in now.

I think we inch closer and closer to conflict as each day passes.

Booker is yet another clown that can't understand the plainly written language of the 2nd Amendment. It's amazing how many true enemies of our nation are called US Senators and Representatives. They know the only thing keeping them from achieving their ultimate goal to socialize us is the fact that we still have weapons in the hands of the citizenry and they are going to do their very best to keep attacking that right until they can achieve their goals.

There is only one reason for a government to attempt all of this. It is because they wish to do something for which they would otherwise be shot by their citizenry. The worse they are, the more particularly squeamish they are about their own physical well-being.

I recall actor and former Senator Fred Thompson's (RIP) comments to the Elite Elites of the NRA at a dinner at which all the (R) candidates were to get up to a podium and song & dance or fellate their way into the grifting arms of an NRA endorsement. (It was one of those years Mittens was running.) After several had talked with the usual (tall) boyhood tales of plinking with .22's and shooting pigeons behind the barn, trying to say the "right" things, Thompson got up and simply said this to all the suits:

"I own a lot of guns. I'm not going to tell ya what kind, how many, or where they're at; 'cause it's none of y'alls bidness."

He was literally the only person in the room who "got it."

Get ready folks. Me thinks they will get some of these passed with their partisan brethren.....you know, to show people that they really care.

Republicans have never been friends of the gun owner - they are politicians not patriots. There are still permanent Washington Republicans from the 1990's era gun ban collecting a pay check while spending decades running on the Pro-2A campaign platforms.

Never kid yourself - politicians, military leaders, and cops are NOT there to protect your gun rights. They are there to protect power.

Our politician's are the enemy, they now have way too much power and they certainly are ignorant of the Constitution, especially the 2nd Amendment.

So I'm wondering who this might be...

Quote:

a new "red flag" law that would be designed to keep Americans who might be deemed potentially violent from legally purchasing a firearm.
Would this be members of the Tea Party, Three percenters, Veterans, Trump voters, etc. ???? Who gets to define this?

Don't forget that long list of people who attend school board meetings to protest their kids getting "identified" as one of the 967 pseudo-flavors as well as being a systematic oppressor to boot. Cat ladies just love reportin' folks that skeer' em.

The decision came down today:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinion...0-843_7j80.pdf

From page 15 of the decision:

“In sum, the Courts of Appeals’ second step is inconsistent with Heller’s historical approach and its rejection of means-end scrutiny. We reiterate that the standard for applying the Second Amendment is as follows: When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. Only then may a court conclude that the individual’s conduct falls outside the Second Amendment’s “unqualified command.” Konigsberg, 366 U. S., at 50, n. 10.”

Extremely artful. All those folks who keep threatening to leave America, please: Stop teasing us. NY Gov Hochul is really steamed. In a Republic this is a good thing.

GC's link is a worthy read. Some dominos in other states are getting ready to fall.
