Speak softly, carry a big stick.

Hmmm…maybe a a good term for a firearm would be: an “argument stick”.
We have more “argument sticks” than they do.
:D

The language of the enemy morphs. "Gun control" is so yesterday. The fax machine went 'brrrrr' some weeks ago and it's now "gun reform."

Happy Patriot Day!
:cool:

...and its for the children.
It's ALWAYS for the children.

Happy Patriots Day!

Battles of Lexington and Concord
The Battles of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, kicked off the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). Tensions had been building for many years between residents of the 13 American colonies and the British authorities, particularly in Massachusetts. On the night of April 18, 1775, hundreds of British troops marched from Boston to nearby Concord in order to seize an arms cache.

Never give up your weapons. Freedom from tyranny depends upon the right to keep and bear arms. The patriots in 1775 knew that.

As Congress gets ready to hear testimony on the brace rule, cases on that are wending their way through the courts as well. I'm at slightly better than 50:50 that the tide is turning to slap down the notion of arbitrary rule-making by agencies outside legislation. (Thank you West Virginia v. EPA)

"Anyone who actually understands the issue knows: It’s the guns, stupid." and "Short of a national divorce, there is nothing that can be done at this point." - Brynn Tannehill is a Naval Academy graduate, former naval aviator, author, and senior defense analyst. She currently lives in Northern Virginia with her wife and three children.

They can't be reasoned with. And don't get me started on the LA Times article. Full of logical fallacies. You'd think they teach that in journalism school, but I guess not.

“She currently lives in Virginia with her wife…..”

That alone lets me know that she has no idea what a divorce actually would look like if the Meat-Eating, Gun-Owning, God Fearing Men of this country decided to kick her gay ass out of the house. I almost welcome the thought of her ilk trying something….. LOL

Illinois assault weapon and magazine ban enjoined:

The Illinois awb was enjoined, the injunction was stayed, an emergency appeal went to SCOTUS, and SCOTUS requested a response from Illinois.
The response looks like an attempt at burden-shifting.

NJ Carry Restrictions Get Spanked
 
An article covering this at The Captain's Journal, including embedded video.


Quote:

A new law limiting concealed carry of guns in New Jersey suffered another defeat in federal court Tuesday as a judge ordered state officials not to enforce its tight restrictions pending a flurry of legal challenges from gun rights advocates.

The ruling means New Jerseyans with proper permits are free to concealed-carry handguns at beaches, public parks, bars and restaurants — places from where Gov. Phil Murphy and his Democratic allies in the state Legislature sought to ban firearms in an effort to curb gun violence.

Rule by Executive Fiat
 
Not specifically to a gun case but important dikta from SCOTUS.

Another one, this time also with the EPA (shock, eh?) that is peeling back the notion that Exec Branch Fed agencies can lord over the People by fiat and whim. (West Virginia v. EPA was the previous good one.) Let's see if the black-robed Druids continue to apply this overreach doctrine to several other things that are coming before the Court.

FWIW, the EPA's notion, struck down, of "significant nexus allowed them to determine "waters of the United States" because they were near a ditch that fed into a creek, which fed into Priest Lake, a navigable, intrastate lake."

Full story here if you like.

:cool:

The law doesn't matter because liberals will just ignore it - because they already have a legion of compromised DA's that wont prosecute them for their crimes

The law doesn't matter because liberals will just pass laws at the local level that will allow them to exploit loop holes.

The law doesn't matter because they will just threaten intimidate, and coerce people into compliance through fear of being blamed for a riot.

...and the republicans in government will continue to do what they always do - nothing

Like General McAllister once told Detective Sergeant Murtaugh, "It's over; there's no heroes left in the world"

McAllister was wrong, even if the plot premise was interesting.
