It was suggested by it’s just Boris that a founding era firearm safety requirement could be used to support the California Roster system. In particular, they suggested that proof testing would be a close enough match.

It isn’t. Proofing a firearm is entirely different from the idea of requiring or forbidding features.

The original proofing was done to make sure that guns did not blow up in your face. Because of the metallurgy of the time it was not a good idea to trust a pressure vessel until it had been tested. To this end “proofing” was required.

Emphasis added.

What is very important about the requirement for “proofing”, from a Second Amendment view, is that no class of arm, “pattern” was outright banned.

What was happening is that a level of third party quality control was being performed, by the government.

At times the proofing wasn’t done a the royal proofing houses but was instead done at the manufacturer’s location.

With the California roster, the concept is that if California doesn’t like the weapon it is banned. Not that the weapon has to perform as designed and not blow up.

In addition, while proofing was required in Europe, I can find no regulations that actually require the proofing of firearms from 1790-1799. I used both Google and Duke Center for Firearms Law. It is likely that with a bit more work I could find something at Duke but the real proof is that the state has not made the argument in any of the cases I’ve read.

If you want to know why we went from winning a war on two simultaneous fronts and then the Cold War to losing to a bunch of goat herders in sandals, look at what the Military Industrial Complex uses for recruiting.

I’m two generations out of date.

Top executives at CBS News have banned staffers from using the word “transgender” when reporting on Nashville shooter — despite the fact police have said Audrey Hale was transgender and cited it as a key point in the case, The Post has learned.

CBS execs bar the word ‘transgender’ from reports on Audrey Hale (nypost.com)

It sadly seems par for the course that the Media and its fellow political degenerates have shown more care for the transgender community but little to none for the Christian community.

And that is another lesson you should have memorized by now.

The GFZ admin had a short discussion and decided that we do want to add links for those organizations that are fighting for the Second Amendment. To that end, if you have a favorite organization let us know in the comments.

There have been a number of cases that are making progress, I’ll continue to bring updates as I get them or I find new cases.

Hagar has a couple of new articles out and J.Kb and Miguel keep cranking them out.

In the next week I’m going to do an article on PACER and RECAP. PACER is where you buy court documents. RECAP is a site that collection PACER documents for others to use. I’m looking at being able to put out a call for our readers to add documents from PACER to RECAP. Since you get $30 dollars worth of PACER documents per bill period free, this might work well for us.

We are going to be doing some site work later this week as it is time for a WordPress update. This will cause a brief outage.

Anything else you want to tell us about, feel free in the comments.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — On Thursday, the normally quiet sound of outside the Tennessee State Capitol quickly took a turn.

“Everybody’s demanding change, everybody’s had enough, and, it was a beautiful day,” said Linda McFadyen-Ketchum, a volunteer with Moms Demand Action.

Oh sweet Jesus! A Three Name Activist? Release the Karen!

The demand for change poured into the Capitol. Inside the Senate Chamber, chanting could be heard through the door, while State Troopers tried to control the crowd.

So Gun Control insurrectionists invaded the TN Capitol. Are we to expect charges of Domestic Terrorism anytime soon? Goose/Gander, you know the analogy.

“Angry,” is how McFadyen-Ketchum described the feeling during the protest. “There’s a time for tears. I don’t have any more tears. I’m angry, and a lot of people there were angry. I didn’t see much emotion. It was fix this, there are things that we can do, fix this.”

Sweety pie, we have been angry since way before you actually decided to be an idiotic shill for Michael Bloomberg. We (Gun Culture) warned back in the 90s that creating Gun Free Schools would do nothing but provide a secured hunting ground for any nutcase with a wish of blood and notoriety. We were awfully right and proven when Columbine happened and all other schools after that. You and yours yet, refuse to admit you are deadly wrong and refuse to harden up schools. But then again it is not your blood spilling, right? And nothing says “Boxed Chardonay activism” like dancing on the blood of the little kids you helped to kill.

“I’m very proud of our young people, who have had to endure growing up with this, and what I see as the arrogance of legislatures who couldn’t even wait until my beloved friend’s funeral was over to try to push for even looser gun limits,” said Caudill.

As opposed to passing gun control measures that still would not do anything but create more victims as history keeps proving?

This month, a Vanderbilt University Poll showed Tennessee parents agree on several school firearm safety measures. More than 1,000 people were polled. The study found 70% agree background checks should be expanded on all gun sales, 63% believe law enforcement should be able to temporarily restrict a person’s access to guns if they pose a risk to themselves or others and 53% believe the age to purchase a gun should be 21.

Wait, Vandy U as a trusted source of a study? The same fuckers that want to mutilate children for profit? That is going to be a laughable ‘no’ from yours truly and anybody else with three functioning neurons.

According to Everytown for Gun Safety, one of the largest gun violence prevention organizations in America revealed Tennessee has the 10th highest rate of gun deaths.

Mostly concentrated in Memphis and Nasville which both are and have been under the “leadership” of your fellow political controllers of the Democratic Party. And you misspelled “gun violence prevention,” it is “Absolute Gun Control.”

Covenant School had no Resource Officer. No armed personnel who could have faced Asshole Audrey Hale and stop him before he/she/fuckwit could have done that much damage. And the only reason no more bodies were stacked because of the Gun Free School laws passed by the likes of Linda McFadyen-Ketchum was because Metro Nashville PD did a great job in intervening and taking down the “confused” individual.

If I was a legislator, I would introduce a bill demanding the decertification of any school in the state that does not have a minimum of 5% armed personnel any day they are open. We would encourage other measures in addition to armed teachers and staff because the more layers of security, the better. But a bullet in the brain pan of an offending critter is the best way to end any mass killing.

And I am not expecting this to happen anytime soon.

Let’s assume for a moment this happened and she’s not making it up, this is a terrible threat assessment and a worse response.

The man is 30 feet away in a crowded and well lit parking lot during the day and ge announces himself.

That’s not very indicative of an attack.

Even then, turning and yelling at him to not approach her was an extreme response.

She could have inquired from a distance what he wanted and then reacted accordingly.

The man could have have Ben proffering information that would have enhanced her safety, but now she’ll never know.

All this does is make good men less likely to be chivalrous and women at greater risk from actual harmful men.

This:

This is bullshit.

This is evil, manipulative bullshit.

There is no evidence for this and lots of evidence to the contrary.

But this has become the rhetoric used to manipulate parents.

What is worse is that children have been taught that this is an effective tactic, i.e., “transition me or I’ll kill myself.”

In a way it’s like this scene from Blazing Saddles, but not funny.

Anyone who tries to manipulate you with the threat of suicide is a bad person.
