The Virginia state senate just passed a bill essentially outlawing the AR-15 and similar firearms.
Now, anyone who’s familiar with the Bruen ruling and its two-part test knows that this bill simply ignores that ruling.

A Nation of Outlaws
There is an idea that many people — but especially constitutional law students, who then go on to be public officials — have not been exposed to, which is that there is a proper order to the questions that should be asked when formulating public policy.
A Cooling-Off Period for Laws
In some states, you still have to wait several days to pick up a firearm after you’ve bought it from a dealer. The idea is that you might need a ‘cooling-off period’, if you were considering using the firearm in some illegal way — to commit a robbery, to confront an ex-spouse, and so on. … Read more
Do These People Even Read the Laws They Write?
Not so long ago, the legislature passed, and the governor signed into law, a bill that says:
Every person has the natural, essential, and inherent right to bodily integrity, free from any threat or compulsion by government to accept an immunization.
More Sleight-of-Hand by Democrats and the Media
Most conservatives are utterly bewildered by the national apathy toward the ongoing border crisis. They wonder why more Americans aren’t outraged by the onslaught of unscreened aliens illegally flooding across our border, or by an American President who ignores our immigration laws, who is unilaterally dismantling our border controls. Only a very small number of … Read more

Gov. Threatens to Withhold Funding to Counties That Ignore His COVID Orders
Remember when Arizona tried to enforce Federal Immigration laws the Feds were ignoring. The Obama administration sued the state? How about when President Trump told Democrat Governors he’d withhold federal money if they obstructed Federal Immigration Enforcement?

This is a sign of an over-active ego – of someone that believes they are God’s new savior to the masses. How COULD the great unwashed ever live their lives without ME? Or my benevolent ministrations on their behalf?
The Judiciary has Grown More Powerful than America’s Founders Intended
About two weeks ago U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs of North Carolina issued an injunction. Her injunction bars the Trump administration from implementing a new policy. The policy changes how the government calculates the duration of an illegal immigrant’s unlawful presence in the country.
New Jersey’s Official Twitter is, well… New Jersey
New Jersey is the last, and only, state in the Country where its citizens are not allowed to pump their own gas. That’s likely one of the lowest priority problems they have, but still it begs many questions. The official Government of New Jersey Twitter account, or whoever runs it, is.. well.. Imagine living in … Read more
Today Governor Sununu Signed Twenty Bills and Vetoed Eight
I’m not familiar with everything on the list of bills that left the Governor’s desk today. But I do recognize a few of the vetoed bills and New Hampshire should be happy he rejected them.
2019: New Hampshire Has a New Fine for Slow Drivers in the Left Lane
The New Hampshire State Police would like to remind you that beginning yesterday, you can get fined for being this a**hole pictured in the left lane. The one blocking all the traffic. That’s “officially” bad. And it could cost you more than the otherwise generous goodwill of Granite State motorists.
David Hart inspired my letter to Senator Ayotte
by Don
Dear Senator Ayotte,
My letter is inspired by David B. Hart’s letter to you in Friday‘s (April 12, 2013) The Citizen of Laconia. Apparently thinking you were unaware, Hart told you that the Senate will soon consider “common sense limitations on gun violence“, which he apparently thinks would have avoided the Newtown massacre.
The Newtown killer violated dozens of laws, murder, theft, assault, breaking and entering, child endangerment, and many others. Apparently Hart believes that if there had been more laws, the Newtown killer would have thought, “Rats, now I’d be breaking 91 laws and it would be wrong to break more than 88 laws. I guess I’ll have to stay home.”
While that makes no sense to me, Hart is right that we need laws to protect us from one another. We should have laws against harming others, e.g., theft, kidnapping, rape, and murder. Why didn’t anyone think of this before?
18 USC 922 – Prohibited Persons

18 USC 922 – Prohibited Persons
“There’s all sorts of “discussion” about firearms law in this country, 99.99% of which is nonproductive blather not worth paying any attention to because of all the intentional distortions being spread by participants propagandists.
I use the word “intentional” here very ummm….intentionally. All Federal firearms law and BATF rulings in this country have been available online and accessible in a matter of minutes for a number of years now.
There are no LEXIS/NEXIS paywalls, no needing to purchase expensive paper copies of Federal law books or CD’s from the GPO, nothing whatsoever inhibits any person from entering a conversation fully prepared to discuss current law. Twenty years ago this was not the case. Today, there is no excuse.
