Conservatives, Liberals Unite On SCOTUS Gun Case

It has been said that "politics makes strange bedfellows" over the years.

But a Supreme Court case involving a pot-user's Second Amendment rights is now before the court. It appears that the justices might side with marijuana users. Conservatives and liberals seem united in defending a weed-smoker's Second Amendment rights.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported:

A Texas man’s case illustrates the potential for common ground between right-leaning critics of gun control and left-leaning critics of the war on drugs.

Under federal law, millions of Americans are committing felonies right now because they own guns and use marijuana, even if they live in states that have legalized the drug. There is nothing unconstitutional about that baffling situation, a Trump administration lawyer assured the Supreme Court on Monday, because cannabis consumers are analogous to “habitual drunkards,” who historically could be confined to workhouses or mental institutions.

Most of the justices, including both Republican and Democratic appointees, seemed skeptical of that claim. Their agreement reflected the trans-partisan alliances inspired by this case, which illustrates the potential for common ground between right-leaning critics of gun control and left-leaning critics of the war on drugs.

The case, which sits at the intersection of those two policies, involves Ali Hemani, a Texas man who was charged with illegal gun possession in 2023 after an FBI search of his home discovered a Glock 19 pistol, about 2 ounces of marijuana, and less than a gram of cocaine. Hemani admitted that the gun was his, and that he smoked marijuana a few times a week, which would have been enough to convict him.

Liberals Taking More Interest In Gun Training

"Politics makes strange bedfellows," it has been said over the years.

Right now, another example of strange bedfellows is that liberals are now taking firearms training in higher numbers, according to gun trainers.

Recent ICE incidents have dawned on liberals that the Second Amendment civil right belongs to them too. 

NBC News reported:

The federal government’s recent messaging around gun holders has created a deluge of unlikely Second Amendment advocates — including those previously opposed to or disinterested in gun ownership.

Gun groups across the country are seeing skyrocketing requests for firearm training from women, people of color and liberals, according to national gun coalitions and local trainers who spoke with NBC News in recent weeks.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has shot 13 people during immigration enforcement operations since September. But January’s high-profile killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Good, both U.S. citizens, have stoked renewed fears nationwide about federal violations of constitutional rights.

NSSF: Canadian-Style Gun Grab Is Happening Here

Do you think that Canadian-style gun grabbing can't happen in the United States where we have the Second Amendment? 

Think again, it is happening and pro-Second Amendment groups are fighting radical politicians to preserve our Second Amendment rights.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) posted the following:

There’s a self-soothing notion that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution keeps the excesses of an overreaching government away from the gun safes of law-abiding gun owners. That notion is just that. It’s veneer-thin, just a wisp away from the shifting political winds that are already blowing across several states that could usher in Canadian-style gun confiscation to the United States.

The fact is that the Second Amendment requires constant vigilance against politicians who would disarm Americans “for their own safety.” That’s why NSSF is battling proposed bans — and even illegal dispossession — of lawfully-owned firearms and magazines in states like Virginia and New Mexico. Legislators there would join California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington and the District of Columbia in banning Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs), the most popular selling centerfire rifle in America. There are over 32 million MSRs in circulation today.

The popularity of these commonly owned and typically possessed firearms and standard capacity magazines doesn’t matter much to politicians bent on banning them. The popularity of these rifles and magazines does matter to the Second Amendment, however.

Those like Virginia’s Democratic Delegate Dan Helmer claim that AR-15-style rifles are “weapons of war — similar to the ones I carried in in Afghanistan.”

But they are not. They’re simply semiautomatic rifles that operate in the same manner as a duck-hunting shotgun. The rifle Delegate Helmer carried in Afghanistan was a machinegun capable of firing automatically, a feature that’s been heavily regulated since 1937 and prohibited for sale in new firearms since 1986.

Delegate Helmer claims the bill he’s sponsoring in Virginia is about preventing violence, saving lives and putting public safety first. Meanwhile, New Mexico’s Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said the proposed MSR ban in her state, “will save lives and make our state a better place to raise a family.”

But this is a false narrative. Banning MSRs and magazines is in the name of “preventing violence, saving lives and putting public safety first” will only disarm law-abiding citizens, it will nothing to disarm criminals who are the real problem and who will ignore these laws.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and other leftist politicians are full of shit as usual. The current fight in New Mexico is over SB 17, a gun grab bill if there ever was one.

NM: Senate Committee Passes Sweeping Gun Control Bill

The wacko leftist Democrats in the New Mexico senate passed a bad gun control bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Much of the bill, Senate Bill 17, is seen as already unconstitutional, but that doesn't stop the Democrats from passing it anyway. A lawsuit is guaranteed if it is passed and signed into law.

From the NRA-ILA: 

Last night, the New Mexico Senate Judiciary Committee passed Senate Bill 17, an omnibus gun control package that would severely undermine the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding New Mexicans and threaten the viability of local firearm retailers. SB 17 could come up for a floor vote in the Senate at any time! Use the Take Action link below to contact your Senator and express your strong opposition to SB 17.

Senate Bill 17, introduced by Senators Micaelita Debbie O’Malley, Andrea Romero, and Heather Berghmans, would unconstitutionally strip law-abiding New Mexicans of their Second Amendment rights by banning common gas-operated semiautomatic firearms, .50 caliber rifles, and magazines holding more than ten rounds under the guise of labeling them as “extremely dangerous weapons.”

The bill further targets the firearms industry by imposing excessive and costly bureaucratic mandates on local firearm dealers, including invasive “site hardening” security requirements and unrealistic 24-hour response deadlines for law enforcement trace requests.

The article has a widget for people who oppose the bill to take action.

Democrats Reintroduce ‘Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act’

Above, a typical ammo online ad by Bass Prop Shops.

Those bastards never give up.

The House Democrats reintroduced a stupid bill that, if passed, would ban online ammunition sales. 

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) reported: 

House Democrats have introduced H.R. 7166, a bill that would effectively end direct-to-consumer online ammunition sales nationwide by forcing so-called “face-to-face” identity verification for internet purchases.

While supporters brand it as “common sense,” it is not. Unconstitutional in design, unethical in intent and absurd in its real-world consequences, the proposal doesn’t target criminals. The “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act” targets law-abiding Americans who buy ammunition for self-defense, training, hunting, pest control and competitive shooting.

Cracker Barrel Stock COLLAPSES 55%! (Video)

I would have posted this earlier, but after sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 45 minutes on Interstate 40 in the heat, I had to take a nap. 

Now that I am awake, I can post this. 

Cracker Barrel stock lost 55% in value since their woke wacko CEO Julie Felss Masino started destroying the Cracker Barrel brand.

This was easily predictable (just look at Bud Light's experience).

Newsom Announces November Election To Gerrymander Lopsided California

The state of California is already a one-party state, much like China and North Korea. Now Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to make it even more so through a special election on November 4.

The Daily Caller reported:

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that a special election will be held on Nov. 4, in which Californians will vote on the “Election Rigging Response Act,” a ballot measure to implement a new partisan gerrymander of the state’s House map ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The governor announced the election at a press conference on Thursday, which he dubbed “Liberation Day” in an apparent attempt to mirror President Donald Trump’s April 2 tariff announcement of the same name. Newsom told reporters after the conference the new gerrymandered map will be released in the next few days, and it aims to “completely neuter and neutralize” Texas’ mid-decade redistricting efforts — from which the GOP is likely to gain five House seats.

California, unlike Texas and some other Republican states, is unable to hold special legislative sessions to redraw maps as its voters entrusted the task of redrawing the state’s House lines to its Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2010, via a ballot initiative. For this reason, California voters need to approve another ballot initiative in order to greenlight a new map mid-decade — something not required in the other aforementioned states.

Despite its current map being drawn by a commission, California still boasts an overwhelming Democratic House  delegation, with Republicans representing only nine — 17% — of its 52 seats.

The Second Amendment Is A Civil Right

Believe it or not, the Second Amendment is a Civil Right. 

Democrats and others from the Left have not treated it as such and have gone to great lengths to undermine it. Thankfully, we have an administration who will vigorously defend the Second Amendment.

That is the topic of an article in America's 1st Freedom. They begin it with:

Harmeet Dhillon, the recently confirmed Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, a division within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), has announced a new focus: The protection of the Second Amendment against any state or local government that hopes to undermine it. “Prior Republican administrations haven’t paid a lot of attention to affirmatively doing that,” said Dhillon, with the result being that “city after city, state after state are eviscerating those rights” while “mocking the Supreme Court.” Henceforth, she concluded, that mockery will have consequences.

Dhillon suggested that the decision to make the Second Amendment “a focus of the Civil Rights Division” may come as a “surprise to many people on both sides.” And, given the way that the right to keep and bear arms has often been treated in the nation’s capital, she is probably right. As a historical matter, though, the move ought not to surprise anyone, for, instead of being an aberration or an innovation, ensuring that the Second Amendment was “affirmatively” extended to everyone was one of the first things that Dhillon’s agency ever did.

FIRE Act Introduced To End Magazine Capacity Restrictions

The radical left Democrats are going to scream bloody murder over this one, especially if it passes and is signed into law by President Trump.

A bill has been introduced in Congress banning federal, state, and local governments from restricting firearm magazine capacity.

According to USA Carry:

WASHINGTON, DC — In a bold move to safeguard Second Amendment rights, Congressman Tony Wied (WI-08) introduced the Freedom from Improper Regulation and Enforcement (FIRE) Act on July 17, 2025. The proposed legislation would ban federal, state, and local governments from restricting firearm magazine capacity, effectively eliminating a patchwork of regulations that limit magazine size across different jurisdictions.

The FIRE Act prohibits any federal agency from implementing magazine capacity restrictions and blocks state and local governments from enacting or enforcing such laws. The bill has already gained support from several House Republicans, including original cosponsors Reps. Tom Tiffany (WI-07), Mike Collins (GA-10), Dave Taylor (OH-02), Sheri Biggs (SC-03), and Russ Fulcher (ID-01).

“For too long, the federal government has infringed on Americans’ Second Amendment rights while maintaining a confusing, inconsistent system that lacks a uniform national standard and invites legal disparity,” Wied stated. “The FIRE Act ensures that law-abiding gun owners can access magazines of any size, no matter where they are in the United States. It’s well past time we take the Founding Fathers’ words ‘shall not be infringed’ seriously.”

The bill is a direct response to a wave of state and local laws that restrict so-called “high-capacity” magazines, often defined as those holding more than 10 rounds. These laws vary by jurisdiction and firearm type, creating legal uncertainty for gun owners traveling across state lines.

In-N-Out’s Billionaire Heiress Is Quitting California

Above, an In-N-Out Burger in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

One thing I miss about California is In-N-Out Burger (Original Tommy's is another). Fortunately, plans are underway to open In-N-Out restaurants in the Albuquerque area.

In-N-Out CEO Lynsi Snyder is leaving Commiefornia for redder pastures, namely, Tennessee.

Fortune reported:

Lynsi Snyder is a born and bred Californian, and makes no secret of her love for the state where her grandparents founded cult burger empire In-N-Out. But the CEO revealed she is leaving the Golden State for Tennessee, where the company is building a new eastern territory office, teasing a potential push to expand even further across the U.S.

Snyder took over the West Coast chain at the age of 27, following in the footsteps of her grandfather, father and uncle who led the business prior to her succession.

Having grown up in Northern California, Snyder recounted in a recent episode of the ‘Relatable’ podcast how she worked her way up the ranks of the business, from toiling away in stores to helping her grandmother with community work, to running the business’s merchandising branch.

Now at the helm of the business with a net worth of $7.3 billion, Snyder is expanding In-N-Out into new pastures and wants her family to benefit from the change too.

“There’s a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here. The bulk of our stores are still going to be here in California, but it will be wonderful having an office … growing out there.”

You can thank the Democrat Party in Commiefornia for the exodus of businesses and people fleeing the state. I left before it really started getting bad there.

Update On Canada's Big Ugly Gun Grab

Canada's dumb scheme to confiscate guns from its citizens is not faring too well. Five provinces are opposing it.

The NRA-ILA took a look at the program it finds that it is riddled with problems. Naturally, Canada's gun owners are resisting.

They begin with:

Canada’s Liberal government is pressing on with its harebrained gun ban and confiscation program for “assault style weapons,” but, true to form and precedents, it has been far from smooth sailing.

Canada’s National Post newspaper describes the government’s program as “not only severely behind schedule and over-budget, but a newly released internal report shows that Ottawa is doubtful of the plan ever actually working as announced.”

Colorado Leftists Pass Gun Ban

The Rocky Mountain version of Commiefornia, i.e., Colorado, has passed anti-gun bills that will ban some rifles, handguns and shotguns. 

The American Thinker reported:

Now, the People’s Republic of Colorado has passed an anti-liberty/gun law that couldn’t be a clearer violation of the Second Amendment. The bill passed the state Senate on a 19-15 party line vote and went to the House where D/s/cs hold a 43-22 majority. The House quickly passed it and Governor Jared Polis is expected to sign it. The bill bans many of the most usual, common and popular American arms:

The bill defines a “specified semiautomatic firearm” as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. The bill prohibits knowingly manufacturing, distributing, transferring, selling, or purchasing a specified semiautomatic firearm; except that a person may transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm to an heir, an individual residing in another state, or a federally licensed firearm dealer.

The language is purposely vague. All semiautomatic handguns are arguably “gas-operated,” allowing Colorado to restrict Coloradans to revolvers. The only currently manufactured semiautomatic handgun that might escape is KelTec’s ingenious new PR57 which has no detachable magazine and loads its twenty 5.7X28mm rounds from stripper clips. Apparently, Colorado D/s/c legislators aren’t aware of that one, but they'll surely include it later.  

Clearly, the bill is unconstitutional, illegal. Colorado’s D/s/c legislators know this, and know they’ll have to spend untold millions of taxpayer dollars to defend a law that will inevitably be struck down. They also know it will take years for the case to reach the Supreme Court, which may or may not grant cert, waiting for another or more similar cases to become “ripe” before considering their issues. This could leave Colorado’s law on the books for at least two years, giving law enforcement officers not burdened by consciences or fidelity to the Constitution an opening to harass and arrest the law-abiding. It will also give equally unscrupulous judges the ability to fine and imprison gun owners for exercising their Second Amendment rights.

NM Anti-Gun Extremists Introduce Sweeping Gun Ban

Above, the New Mexico Capitol Building in Santa Fe. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

The radical leftist Democrats in the New Mexico legislature are at it again.

They have introduced a bill that would ban almost all semi-automatic firearms.

From the NRA-ILA:

As they have tried in the past, anti-gun radicals in the New Mexico Senate have introduced Senate Bill 279, the "GOSAFE Act," a near all-encompassing ban on commonly owned firearms. SB 279 has been referred to Senate Judiciary Committee, but has not been scheduled for hearing at this time. Start contacting your Senators TODAY and urge them to OPPOSE this unconstitutional bill by using the TAKE ACTION button below.

SB 279 among other provisions, applies to almost all “semiautomatic firearms,” as defined in the bill, being rifles, shotguns and pistols that law-abiding citizens commonly use for recreation, hunting, self defense and competitive shooting, and would regulate the import, sale, manufacture, transfer and receipt of such “firearms, devices or combination of parts”. Possession of such firearms, devices and combination of parts would be prohibited starting January 1, 2026 except as permitted in the bill. The bill also bans the new purchase or manufacture of magazines capable of holding over 10 rounds, and mandates the serialization of any currently possessed by New Mexico residents. 

It is critical that you contact your State Senators and urge them to OPPOSE SB 279 to prevent this unconstitutional bill from advancing!

California Sides With Mexico Against US Gun Industry

Besides turning California into a hellhole cesspool, radical Democrat liberals have been trying to diminish Second Amendment rights.

Gun control radicals are siding with Mexico against gun manufacturers and the Second Amendment.

According to the Buckeye Firearms Association:

The willingness of some in the U.S. to aid a foreign power in an assault on American industry and Americans’ Constitutional rights is sad and disturbing.

On Jan. 17, California Attorney General Rob Bonta proclaimed his support for Mexico’s position in the ongoing case Smith & Wesson Brands Inc, et al. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The case, now at the U.S. Supreme Court, is an attempt by the Mexican government, working with U.S.-based gun control advocates, to undo the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), make the U.S. firearms industry a scapegoat for Mexican lawlessness, and impose billions of dollars in liability on American gun manufacturers for violence perpetrated by violent criminals south of the border.

Readers should know that the PLCAA was enacted in 2005, with broad bipartisan support, to protect the firearms industry from frivolous and politically motivated lawsuits. In the mid-1990s, gun control advocates, big city politicians, and trial attorneys teamed up to use the courts to bilk the gun industry for millions and force them to agree to gun control measures that gun control supporters were unable to enact in Congress. The suits sought to hold members of the industry liable for the criminal behavior of those who misused their products.

I, for one, am glad that I moved out of Commiefornia. This coming week will mark seven years since I did so.
