We learned that when Republicans show up and stay for the session, we can stop bad bills and move along good ones. That was the main theme throughout the 2-day voting marathon. Apparently, we were still unable to stop some very bad bills, too (read on).

Wait for it – Nova Scotia Mass Shooter Probably Got His Guns Illegally
Gabriel Wortman was shot and killed by Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) after he evaded them for twelve hours, killing 22 people and burning several homes. Wortman didn’t just have illegally obtained firearms, he wore an RCMP uniform and drove a car painted to look like their patrols.
Liberals are “shocked to discover they can’t just walk out of the store with a gun.”
This virus-thingy is creating all sorts of learning opportunities. Some folks are acquiring technology skills to participate in remote work or learning. And anti-gun liberals are finding out that the anti-gun narratives they live and scream by are total partisan Bulls**t!
Mayor of Baltimore: We need the Hospital Beds so Could you Stop Shooting Each Other, Please?
Like any major city, the spread of anything highly contagious is potentially exponential. Population density makes it impossible to prevent. So, Baltimore is looking at some rough days ahead. With that in mind, the mayor has a message for the hoodlums. Stop shooting people. We need hospital beds.
TX Church Shooting: Bad Guy “Meets” Six Good Guys Who Stand Up to Shoot Back
Force majority is a bitch. Especially when you think you have it and you do not. Such was the case in Fort Worth Texas. A man armed with (what is believed to be) a shotgun entered a church and started shooting. At least six people in attendance drew their weapons to return fire.
Puerto Rico’s New Common Sense Gun Law Makes It Easier to Possess and Carry a Firearm
It is no longer a matter of debate. Democrats want to take your money and your guns. They speak openly about both with enthusiasm as if it is good for us. Their gun laws are not good for Detroit, or Baltimore, or Chicago, so has America’s largest territory seen that and turned a corner?
Gun Control is Not Greater Safety
Gun control is not greater safety. Everyone knows that Chicago has a problem with gun violence. It is a result which should be the expectation. The city has such strict gun control measures in place. The expectation does not match the actual… The intention of strict gun control is to prevent criminals from possessing firearms … Read more
Handful of Counties in New Mexico Are Declaring Themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries
Faced with a slew of restrictive anti-gun laws counties across the nation have begun declaring themselves second amendment Sanctuaries. Places where unconstitutional state-level anti-gun laws will not be enforced by either county police or local law enforcement. In keeping with our coverage a few of these “transitions” the latest news comes from New Mexico.
Martin O’Malley Tells New Hampshire Audience Dems Should Run on Gun Control
Martin O’Malley was in New Hampshire last week, and he thinks gun control is a winning issue for Democrats even if it hasn’t worked in Maryland, yet.
“It’s hard to measure prevention,” O’Malley said, before laying the blame for increased homicide rates at the feet of the two Baltimore mayors, Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake and Catherine Pugh, who were elected after he left the mayor’s office to become governor.
What’s O’Malleys winning formula? Is it the one that has turned Baltimore into the murder capital of the nation?
Data Point – MORE States are lessening gun restrictions then adding
I keep hearing that “the majority of Americans want more gun restrictions”. Reality? Seems to be “not so much”: (H/T: Wall Street Journal via Instapundit).
How Fast Can A Rifle Go From Unloded…
…to loaded? Pretty damn fast, apparently.
Two New Hampshire State Police troopers demonstrated how quickly a semiautomatic rifle can go from unloaded to loaded under a new definition in a bill up for a House vote this week. – (Union leader, Wed 1-4-12)
So with no one else lawfully armed–a policy the police, Governor Lynch, and the university folks both advertise proudly and insist they will defend–the only thing left to stop the rapid loading, unloading, and reloading of a “semiautomatic rifle” in a gun free zone would be what we call…victims. (Or running out of ammo.)
But don’t Democrats love “victims?”
Without victims they have no platform.
House Bill 29: What we have here, is failure to communicate
Upon reading the House Journal Majority report on this Bill, I am reminded of Strother Martin’s line in Cool Hand Luke, “What we have here…is failure to
communicate…” House Bill 29, was deemed “Inexpedient to Legislate” this past week for reasons that can be best characterized as, “Bizarre.” The bill was an adjustment to the N.H. RSA 159:6-c which addresses Appeal, denial and Revocation of pistol and revolver licenses. Under current law, such actions are heard only in District Court.
In writing for the majority, State Representative Larry Gagne confusingly writes, “RSA 159:6-c was designed to allow a denial to be heard in a district court. This allows the applicant to appeal the decision of the issuing authority either pros or cons with an attorney.” I haven’t the foggiest idea what this means! The Bill has nothing to do with the particular merits of a denial or revocation of a pistol revolver license. Moreover, this bill has absolutely nothing to do with the representation an appellant has or does not have in seeking a remedy under this chapter. HB 29 deals instead with the “forum” in which a remedy is sought from denial or revocation.
Representative Gagne in reporting for the majority continues, “If the issuing authority did not follow the procedure outlined in RSA 159:c, License to Carry, the procedure then is outlined in RSA 159:6-d, which allows the applicant to file in superior court…”
