A Texas-Backed Lawsuit Argues That the ATF's Pistol Brace Rule Is Arbitrary and Unconstitutional



Oops, should have collected the tax, I guess.

Trump and Biden creatively reinterpreting laws to say what they plainly do not say is authoritarian bullshit, the opposite of the rule of law. Both have used this approach to make previously-legal property suddenly contraband.

If someone like Jeff doesn't register his by May, he faces up to 10k in fines and 10 years in prison for that felony. Because Jeff owning such a thing legally, with the ATF's repeated and explicit blessing, for many years is OK, but owning it after May is just soooooo dangerous to the public.

Round one went to the nutters

And the new rule seems to be that GOA members can have pistol braces but anyone else risks prosecution.

Newsom's 28th Amendment

Looks like the beginning of a primary challenge to Biden to me.

Irked by Congress' failure to enact the gun control laws he favors, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing a "28th Amendment" that would "permanently enshrine" those policies in the U.S. Constitution. This transparently partisan publicity stunt is wholly impractical and raises more questions than it answers. But Newsom's pitch for it nicely illustrates the dishonesty, emotionalism, divisive rhetoric, illogic, and magical thinking of politicians who promise that their half-baked gun control schemes will rescue America from fear of deadly violence.

...

Newsom says his amendment "permanently enshrines four additions to the laws of our land." It "raises the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21, because if you can't buy a beer, you shouldn't be able to buy a gun"; "mandates universal background checks to prevent truly dangerous people from purchasing a gun that can be used in a crime"; "institutes reasonable waiting periods for all gun purchases"; "bans civilians from buying assault rifles—those weapons of war our founding fathers never foresaw"; and "guarantee(s)…states the ability to enact common-sense gun safety laws while leaving the Second Amendment intact and respecting America's gun-owning tradition."


That's actually five additions, not four, and the last one is especially vague and open-ended.

We've already seen that "truly dangerous" meant "committed welfare fraud years ago" in the case of Bryan Range. The goal of "universal" background checks is the same as any other gun control: make gun ownership more burdensome and expensive without any regard to things like whether an individual is truly dangerous.

The reasonable waiting period for someone who already owns guns is zero seconds. I'm open to discussion about that first gun if grabbers will just acknowledge this, but they won't. The goal of "reasonable" waiting periods is the same as any other gun control: make gun ownership more burdensome and expensive without any regard to things like whether an individual is being prevented from owning a gun.

The part about "assault" weapons is vague coming from a Californicator because that state's "assault" weapons ban is outside the modern mainstream of gun control and does not include battlefield .22's. I assume a constitutional amendment would go the mainstream route that passed the US House and ban them, but maybe not?

Biden Seriously Wrong About The Second Amendment

...
"We have to change," Biden said. "There’s a lot of things we can change, because the American people by and large agree you don’t need a weapon of war. I’m a Second Amendment guy. I taught it for four years, six years in law school. And guess what? It doesn’t say that you can own any weapon you want. It says there are certain weapons that you just can’t own. Even during when it was passed, you couldn’t own a cannon. You can’t own a machine gun.… No, I’m serious."

Actually, fights at Lexington and Concord were about non-government cannons and the peaceships that were commissioned by people like James Madison had lots of privately owned cannons. There are a couple of hundred thousand legally owned machine guns in the US and lots of Americans can and do own them. No, I'm serious.

White House Gun Czar to solve all problems, much like the drug czar did back when America had issues with drug consumption.

The White House will announce this week that it is creating an office of gun violence prevention to focus on efforts to grab guns, two sources familiar confirmed to The Hill.

...

Biden has consistently called for Congress to ban battlefield .22's and standard-capacity magazines, require safe storage of guns, to end gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability for the actions of criminals and other grabby nonsense.

OK, so maybe I edited for accuracy a bit.

Biden Lacks Trump's Leadership Skills

Roger Marshall (R., Kan.) and six other Republican senators submitted a letter to U.S. attorney general Merrick Garland on Thursday, voicing their “strong opposition” to a new gun-control rule proposed by the Department of Justice.


Under the recently proposed “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms,” any person who sells a gun for profit to anyone else, including family members, would be considered “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms. As a result, a person would be required under federal law to obtain a federal permit, conduct a background check, and complete gun registration paperwork.

...

The senators argued that the proposal misinterprets the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act’s language in order to place firearm purchases under the ATF’s purview. Notably, the rule ignores the legislation’s exemption for a person who occasionally engages in firearm transactions from being labeled a firearms dealer.

Hah! Who does he think he is? Trump can get away with suddenly declaring that a law says what everyone has always known it plainly does NOT say. That doesn't mean Biden can do it. TeamR types will tolerate authoritarian usurpation of power from Trump but not from Biden. TeamD types will, of course, tolerate anything gungrabby without exception, even from Trump.

Man celebrating Florida's new open-carry law by firing rifle into the air faces multiple charges

A South Florida man who was shot by police while firing a rifle into the air in celebration of Florida's new open-carry gun law has been formally incarcerated.

After he got out of the hospital, that is. Tried to run from the cops while packing heat. It did not go well for him.

Vermont carry has been working well for a long time up north but that's no way to celebrate finally bringing it here.

Jeffski will be along shortly to just say that it's because the bang bang makes you more smarterer in case a insurrection breaks out and you have to protect the Declaration of Independence. Why can't liberals understand this?
