Including literally in Minnesota, where Dems were recently making death threats in the legislature because they didn't have the votes to pass their bill to ban, among other things, magazines over ten rounds and threaded barrels. So you didn't want Pretti dead, just in prison!

Your party backs gun laws that would have made Pretti a felon.

OK. So should they be able to buy guns and get carry permits too then? Will you be calling for a repeal of the California and local laws that prevent that, Councilwoman?

Their refusal to give the Knicks any credit whatsoever for any of their wins is truly youthful arrogance at its finest

Let he who has not stabbed someone to death for shoving him cast the first stone.

This is a standard that would treat the Second Amendment as a second-class right. For other rights, the Supreme Court has tossed out even small taxes, including a $1.50 poll tax. But here, a tax is fine unless an antigun court thinks it "meaningfully constrained" your right to get a gun. Not clear how this would apply across the board. e.g. Would dealers get refunds for low-income customers? It's nonsense.

Discussing whether firearms should be required to be registered with serial numbers is not “violent speech”—it’s healthy debate. @elonmusk @TheRealWifi can we get this fixed?

This shit pisses me off: “Because of their young age, police aren’t releasing their names.” If you’re old enough to attempt grand theft auto with a fucking gun, you’re old enough to be treated like an adult.

Literally no reason for this besides hating gun owners. People with carry permits almost never commit crimes. People who are going to commit a crime in a hospital won't care about this law.

California's Glock ban was inspired by a shooting done by a violent felon, Smiley Martin, who was released from prison several years early thanks to Democrat policies. His crime? Domestic violence. Specifically, he beat his girlfriend's face into a bloody pulp. Martin was sentenced to ten years for that. Newsom let him out in just four. Democrats let a rabid animal loose, then used his predictable subsequent violent crimes as an excuse to ban the sale of Glocks. So I believe Mr. McGuire is projecting here. Just because HIS political party regularly does favors for violent criminals, he assumes that's who Second Amendment groups are fighting for. Not so. Criminals and domestic abusers were not why this law was struck down. If he read the court's ruling instead of grandstanding, he'd know that.

If someone breaks in you just slap the top like an alarm clock and go back to sleep

You leaked my home address, and that of hundreds of thousands of others with CCW permits. It wasn't even a "leak," as there was a download button on the website you published (that website never came back, btw). Then you investigated yourself and found you did nothing wrong.

Mass shootings. If mass shootings stopped or became much more rare, the antigun movement would wither away. They are totally reliant on those attacks to try and bottle some mass hysteria to pass draconian gun laws, and it's the only time the general public (temporarily) pays attention to orgs like Everytown or Giffords. Most people intuitively understand that "routine" gun-related crime is, aside from tragic incidents of people being caught in crossfire, avoidable. If you aren't involved in gangs or drugs, and don't go to stupid places at stupid times, then generally, gun-related crime won't affect you, and you are as safe here as you are in any other first world country. Similarly, people know they can avoid tragedies like a child getting ahold of a gun and shooting himself or another by responsibly storing firearms. But mass shootings can reach you anywhere even if you are doing nothing irresponsible or criminal, and that understandably scares people. It doesn't really matter that such shootings are statistically super rare, and some years lightning kills more than mass shootings do. In the same way terrorist attacks have an outsize effect on public policy relative to their bodycount, mass shootings are the gun ban movement's gasoline. This is why they push very hard to make the public believe mass shootings are much more common than they are through nonsense like the Gun Violence Archive's expansive definition (their data mostly reflects large gang-related shootings). It's also why they are so very angry when an armed citizen stops or cuts short a mass shooting - as that citizen just cost them their main PR opportunity! No surprise then that they do everything possible to make sure an armed citizen isn't there to stop shootings, by supporting laws that make getting carry permits more difficult, and laws that ban carry in as many places as possible. We should try to stop mass shootings because it's the right thing to do, nobody should ever be killed because of some deranged loser nutjob trying to murder random innocents. But in stopping or reducing them, we'd also defeat the main engine of authoritarian gun control.

It’s my favorite time of year: when Europeans explain to people in Louisiana that it feels hotter when there’s humidity

As for the dog.

Pretty crazy to refuse to hear a case in which SCOTUS has original (and exclusive) jurisdiction. The Roberts Court is a historically lazy one.

Avi did a great job. The tragedy of this kid is that he is legitimately talented. I've seen many attorneys that can't argue as well as he did today, for instance. But he has been captured by online racist brainrot. Hopefully he grows out of that someday and disavows his past statements. Regardless though, what he is not is violent. And what a state may not do is deny someone the Second Amendment based on protected speech alone. I don't expect he'll win his case, as this is New Jersey state court, but he should.

New Jersey argues it is not regulating speech, it is just checking on temperament and character. But again, if you can deny a separate constitutional right based on protected speech, then it seems like you have neither right in a meaningful sense.

@elonmusk has the chance to do the funniest thing by suspending the AG's account
