40 hours of training does not seem like enough to shoot someone around children https://t.co/AkSRMbBj49

I guess he should have looked up the requirements for training to be a law enforcement officer in Tennessee through the Tennessee police academy.

Oh look, 40 hours of firearms training and 50 rounds.

Yes, this is the minimum, but I can’t imagine a police academy doing much more than the minimum to get people to pass.

If 40 hours is enough to train a cop to carry a gun, it should be enough for a teacher.

Now, frequent readers of this blog know that support training way beyond the bare minimum, and most cops are shitty shooters.

So, of course, we support teachers training regularly. But this guy clearly is of the mindset of the magic fairy dust of government authority, so private training is irrelevant to him, all that matters is official government traing.

He knows nothing about what the standards are for the police, but he knows equivalent standards for teachers is insufficient.

HWFO Highlights from the David Hogg vs. Spike Cohen Debate at Dartmouth (substack.com)

It has been a busy week for me. I’m still reading legal filings, but it is harder and harder to write about them.

The state says the same thing, over and over again. The courts keep looking for ways to avoid doing the right thing.

It reminds me so much of the aftermath of Heller.

I do remember freedom week in D.C. For about a week, I had a permit to carry in D.C. If you had a CCW or lived in a constitutional carry state, you could legally carry a concealed firearm in D.C.

A week later, that was gone.

It looks like the rogue courts have just about settled on how they are going to avoid obeying the Supreme Court.

At the same time, we are seeing more and more lawfare. Different entities suing people involved with the firearm industry to force them out of the business.

At the same time, the ATF is attempting to shut down private sales of firearms.

They just issued their final ruling on Thursday. Under the new ruling, just about anybody that transfers a firearm can be required to get an FFL or to go through an FFL.

We are getting closer to getting the next case before the Supreme Court. That is our only hope of bringing these rogue courts into line.

Spike used some of my stuff. Here’s where you can find it for your own use.

It might be worth the read.  I found myself distracted by the content.

The comments are open, do you have anything you think we should read or which would be good for GFZ?

Stolen from Wirecutter.

DOJ says that anybody selling a gun is to be considered a dealer and required to get a license, do the paperwork or face punishment, my brain just won’t stop associating current events.

Today, the Justice Department announced it has submitted to the Federal Register the “Engaged in the Business” Final Rule, which makes clear the circumstances in which a person is “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms and thus required to obtain a federal firearms license, in order to increase compliance with the federal background check requirement for firearm sales by federal firearms licensees.

This struck me as very threatening..

And now I have to wonder if Bryan Malinowski was an object lesson about what is coming up.

Apropos of nothing, I believe I need to reread Unintended Consequences again.

Gun Control is a zombie: It is dead but refuses to lay down and wants to take as many people as possible with it.

And that is why we can’t stop whacking them.
