As BearingArms.com noted. “The good news for Warren is that there are two fewer guns in Rochester today. Too bad for her that they were seized from her own home.”
Gun Control
Defund the police was always part of the gun control long game
This time, the Democrat elite did it on purpose. They deliberately drove high crime in the areas where they don’t live to make gun control a national possibility again.
Son of a gun – The family gun club
In his late-middle age, my father cultivated more of the interests of the old neighborhood. His kitchen overflowed with pasta makers and deli slicers. His prep table was taken over by a home wine-making operation; we ate our meals beside a glass carboy as it bubbled up fermented gas. And scattered about the living room, tucked in the bookcases and stashed behind the coffee table, he positioned an array of locked cases and bags containing a growing collection of rifles, pistols and shotguns.
Supreme Court Unanimously Rebuffs Biden Administration on Warrantless Searches for Handguns
The Supreme Court unanimously rejected Biden administration arguments in a case from Rhode Island that police should be allowed to enter homes without a warrant to seize handguns.
The ruling in the case, Caniglia v. Strom, court file 20-157, came May 17. Oral arguments took place telephonically on March 24.
The Liberal Long-Gun Registry Lives On
Documents disclosed by prosecutors in a court case reveal data that could only have come from the long-gun registry, a report from Brian Lilley in the Toronto Sun says. The problem is these data were supposed to be destroyed in 2012 when Parliament scrapped the long-gun registry. True North’s Andrew Lawton, a licensed gun owner, discusses.
LILLEY: Evidence shows Mounties kept a copy of the gun registry
When criminal defence lawyer Ed Burlew was sifting through the documents sent over by a Crown prosecutor regarding his client, one jumped out. It was proof that the RCMP had kept a copy of the gun registry despite Parliament ordering it destroyed in 2012.
The long-gun registry was brought into being in 1995 with Bill C-68 but was done away with after the passage of Bill C-19 in 2012.
Texas man, wife survive home invader’s hammer attack; pistol ends brutal beating
A Texas couple is alive today thanks to a fierce survival instinct and the willingness to practice their 2nd Amendment rights.
David DeHoyos and his wife were relaxing on April 17 inside their Pearland home when they were forced into a life-or-death situation with a hammer-wielding home intruder.
Democrats Introduce Ban On All Magazines Holding More Than 10 Rounds
A press release on the legislation indicates it would also ban the importation and manufacture of said magazines and authorize “a buyback program for high capacity magazines using Byrne JAG grants.”
The Gun-Control Melodrama Returns for Another Season
But what’s the real purpose of the show?
A new Democrat administration and two recent mass shootings mean it’s time for another episode of the gun-control melodrama that’s been running for decades. We all know the scenario: an obviously deranged person murders several people, Dem pols and pundits start fulminating about our lax gun control laws and gun-obsessed white males, followed by a bunch of ineffective proposals and policies that will do nothing about crime, but will annoy law-abiding gun-owners, which is ultimately the real purpose of the show––demonizing a political enemy.
US Supreme Court: Gun Licensing Fees Are Unconstitutional
The executive summary of the ruling in Murdock v. Pennsylvania (1943) was that it is unconstitutional for a state to levy a tax on people who want to sell religious merchandise. “A municipal ordinance which, as construed and applied, requires religious colporteurs to pay a license tax as a condition to the pursuit of their activities, is invalid under the Federal Constitution as a denial of freedom of speech, press and religion. The mere fact that the religious literature is ‘sold’, rather than ‘donated’ does not transform the activities of the colporteur into a commercial enterprise.”
What does this have to do with fees to obtain a license to own or purchase a firearm? The USSC also found, “A State may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the Federal Constitution.” This means the entire Bill of Rights as opposed to just the First Amendment.
Psaki warns Biden not done attacking gun rights: ‘This is only the beginning’
During the Thursday announcement about his set of executive actions and legislative proposals on gun control, Biden claimed the administration’s radical push is because of a “public health crisis.”
Tucker Goes OFF: Democrats ‘Are Not Trying To Control Guns, They’re Trying To Control You’
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson opened his show on Thursday night by absolutely torching Joe Biden and his new executive actions on gun control. After Biden announced new executive plans for nationwide gun control measures, Carlson argued that Democrats “are not trying to control guns, they’re trying to control you.” Carlson asserted that “almost nothing” in Biden’s speech was true and accused him of intentionally trying to mislead the American public. “Gun control is not about guns. Gun control is about who controls America,” he said. “The Biden administration is using the full force of government to disarm peaceful voters who voted for Donald Trump. It is that simple,” he added.
100% correct. When politicians try to take your guns, it’s because they want to do something that you would shoot them for.
Fact-Checkers Rush To Defend, Downplay Joe Biden’s ‘Gun Show Loophole’ Claims
In a speech at the White House on Thursday, Joe Biden announced further executive actions on the subject of gun control, saying, “Enough prayers, time for some action.” During the event, Biden parroted the false “gun show loophole” claim which is routinely promoted by gun control advocates. Left-leaning fact-checkers quickly moved to provide cover for the president.
Get ready: Biden is coming for your guns through a new executive order and ATF appointment. Here are the details.
Late Wednesday, Biden signed an order we all knew was coming. Despite his reassurance that he wasn’t coming for guns on the campaign trail, anyone with a functioning prefrontal cortex knew what was going to happen.
NY Times op-ed: A lot of the left’s gun control proposals don’t make much sense
As Ed noted earlier, Joe Biden announced plans for a big push on gun control today. Biden’s approach was full of holes and obvious whoppers. He also called for a revival of the assault weapon ban. But over at the NY Times, there’s an interesting op-ed by a former president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. What’s surprising about it is that author Dan Gross admits the usual left-wing rush toward things like the assault weapons ban after every high-profile mass shooting makes no sense if your real goal is to reduce the bulk of gun violence.
