Quote of the Day
I’m really excited about this. For the first time, the DOJ Civil Rights Division and the DOJ at large will be protecting and advancing our citizens’ right to bear arms as part of our civil rights work. Some of the things we’re seeing, and that is going to be the focus of our work around the country, include multi‑thousand‑dollar costs for citizens to apply for concealed‑carry permits.

Who could have imagined this just 18 months ago? Agreed, they are not changing Federal laws as fast as I think they should either. Why not let people buy guns in any state? Why not let 18 -> 20-year-old adults buy handguns? But going after the states and D.C. makes the cases much easier because they are so egregious.
30 years ago, we expected the Feds to be going door to door by now in the process of taking AR-15s. Instead, they are taking California and DC laws and politicians into the woodshed for a long past due education.
Merry Christmas to gun owners and those who would like to own guns. A stocking with a single lump of coal for the anti-gun people.
Taking them to the woodshed? Is that where we have the wood chipper?
In case people don’t know, being taken to the woodshed was an euphemism for getting a spanking.
The wood chipper idea has potential. I certainly see the humor, but it isn’t what I had in mind.
