Guns
Monday gunz
For starters, retired Navy officer LCDR Craig Wortham was found to have a personally owned weapon (with a concealed carry permit) at an installation entry gate (probably Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek – Fort Story, since that is where his original installation ban was cited) – and was banned not just from that post’s facilities, […]
Sneaky b*stards
Didn’t start the week intending to concentrate on dogs, but here we are. Although this also speaks to gun control. The Farm Bill: Big piece of legislation awaiting Congress when they return from their well-deserved taxpayer-funded vacation. (Side note – anyone see where Trump told a farmer’s group that: “We love the American farmer,” the […]
As long as we’re there…
Okay, yesterday was about gun stuff. Still a few stories out there to take note of. Anyone remember the National Firearms Act of 1934? That’s the first big Federal gun control bill, which made automatic weapons, silencers, short barreled rifles, etc. unlawful to buy without paying an exorbitant tax ($200 then, worth around $4600 […]

Here is the money line: “(a) No State or political subdivision of a State may impose a criminal or civil penalty on, or otherwise indirectly limit the carrying of firearms (including by imposing a financial or other barrier to entry) in public by […]
DOJ Red Letter Decision
Don’t know if anyone has tried to ship a gun anywhere before – like flying with a gun, it has turned into a Byzantine process of selecting the correct shipper, how fast to ship, and trying not to get sideways with Federal and state laws. Sometimes you pay more for the shipping company’s failures. If […]
Bondi Update
A few items have come to light Down Under after the Bondi Beach shooting. The father and son shooters are said to be Pakistani immigrants (which would make them Muslim immigrants.) Police say that the two shooters involved were a father and son aged 50 and 24. They have been named by local media as […]
