Four California gun dealers today filed a federal lawsuit against State Attorney General Kamala Harris, alleging that enforcement of a law that prohibits them from displaying images of handguns or even the word “handguns” where they would be visible to passersby is an unconstitutional violation of their First Amendment rights.

The Second Amendment Foundation is offering financial support for this action, although it is not a plaintiff in the case. It joins the Calguns Foundation and California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees in backing the case.

It’s an interesting complaint, too. The lawsuit alleges that the California Penal Code violates the First Amendment rights of the plaintiffs by prohibiting them from. However, anti-gun protesters are still allowed to appear with signs that use the words or images, constituting what the lawsuit calls “viewpoint discriminatory.”

“By prohibiting firearms dealers from displaying on-site handgun advertisements, Section 26820 violates the right of firearms dealers to disseminate truthful, non-misleading commercial information about a lawful, constitutionally protected product,” the lawsuit alleges.

JPFO remembers Kristallnacht on 76th anniversary

The night of November 9 – 10 will mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the infamous Night of Broken Glass, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership reminds its supporters by resurrecting an essay from the 60th anniversary of the obscene precursor to genocide. Written by Rabbi R. Mermelstein in 1998, the recounting of the night of official hatred and horror gives a graphic reminder of what happens when disarmed people are powerless to protect themselves from evil.

Commemorating Kristallnacht is appropriate. Ensuring government terrorism can never happen again is a sacred duty of free people.

There are two common lies spread today by latter-day leftists. The first is one of projection, equating Nazis with “conservatives,” and denying that the National Socialists were just what they claimed to be. It’s part of the “For ‘progressives,’ every day is Opposite Day” truism that defines falsely self-identified “liberals,” and it’s a deception giving cover to true ideological heirs.

“It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic socialists, thought so too,” researcher and author George Watson revealed. “[Hitler’s] differences with the communists, he explained, were less ideological than tactical [and] ‘the whole of National Socialism’ was based on Marx.”

Bloomberg-listed mayor’s ‘gang sign’ story raises controversial ‘points’

Adding herself to a long list of problematic Mayors Against (Your) Guns, Betsy Hodges of Minneapolis posed for a photograph, reportedly “with a convicted felon while flashing a known gang sign,” Jay Kolls of 5 Eyewitness News claimed Thursday.

“The man in the photo is a twice-convicted felon for drug selling and possession and illegal possession of a firearm,” Kolls maintained. “He is currently sentenced to five years at the St. Cloud Correctional Facility, with the prison term stayed for three years while he is under supervised probation…”

While Hodges’ supporters claim “the mayor is simply ‘pointing at him’ in the photo,” a retired Internal Affairs officer maintains “She can’t be that naive.” The situation is reminiscent of when anti-gun radical priest Michael Pfleger of Chicago urged a crowd to “snuff out” a legal gun dealer, and apologists expected people to believe someone intimately familiar with gang culture had no idea what the term meant.

For her part, the Minneapolis affiliation with the Bloomberg mayors’ group is documented on the “Everytown” website (for now?). For their part, “progressives” are doing what they do best: Engaging in Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule. And playing the race card. They’ve even established the hashtag, #pointergate to facilitate mocking the story on social media.

If we’re to take them at their word, that this is all “a Tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing,” then at least we should expect consistency. Maybe all the hysteria over school kids getting suspended for pointing their fingers can be placed in sane context.

The NRA’s Spin on the elections…

Note that there is no mention of the anti-gun asshattery that took place in Washington state,or the fact that Malloy is still gov. of Conn. Hickenlooper is still gov. of Colorado,and the two seats that the GOP won after the recall elections went to Dems, or that Cuomo is still frothing at the mouth to have his gestapo start kicking in doors because most people are ignoring the SAFE Act,Malloy is doing the same-as a whole lot of gun owners gave him the finger over the absurd “assault weapons” ban now in place.

This dumb asses have no clue what they are playing with-if they do start sending their minions to kick in gun owners doors at 4 am-people are gonna die-a lot of people-on both sides of the issue-because everyone I know is going to come out of their bedroom shooting if their door is kicked in at 4am.

These leftist idiots have no clue what they are fucking with,the shit they would start if they tried confiscating firearms.

The NRA’s news releases,updates,daily alerts-crickets about the loss of gun rights-they are spinning the elections into a gun rights victory-What The FUCK are they doing?????

We need a new gun rights group-Alan Gottleib and his Second Amendment Foundation took over JPFO-so we are left with exactly ZERO pro-gun groups who are solidly opposed to any more infringements from team .gov inc.

Not a word from NRA about the huge loss of rights in Washington-passed because the socialists/leftists/communists/and the uber rich like Bill Gates bought the votes of the Free Shit Army and the leftover hippies,tree huggers,animal “rights” whackos,and enviro nazis who have taken over the big cities.

Here’s today’s spin from the NRA…

Note this one…”Gun Control Loses, Second Amendment Wins Big In The Midterms”  WTF?????????

Mississippi Overwhelmingly Approves NRA-Backed Amendment 1

On Tuesday, voters exhibited a firm commitment to preserving the Magnolia State’s strong sporting traditions by ratifying NRA-supported Amendment 1 by a convincing 88 percent of the vote.  Amendment 1 establishes an individual constitutional right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife. Mississippi becomes the 18th state to add this important safeguard into the state’s constitution.

Gun Control Loses, Second Amendment Wins Big In The Midterms

One might well call it a clear denial of reality by vanquished liberals grasping for any hint that their agenda even barely survived the Republican tsunami — “it” is this wildly celebratory article on theatlantic.com boldly declaring victory for advocates of gun control in America. Given the title of the post — “The Gun Control Movement Is Learning How To Win” — you might conclude that anti-gun forces scored big in their efforts to restrict private gun ownership…that the NRA was totally humiliated on Tuesday and sent packing by gun grabbers. But when you read the article…. READ MORE

Second Amendment Prevails Over Cash-Flush Anti-Gun Candidates

Despite the lavishing of funds on anti-gun candidates and statements by anti-gunners that this would be the year they would mount a head-on challenge against the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA), when the smoke cleared, candidates supporting the rights of gun owners were the clear winners.Breitbart News reported “The Second Amendment crushed gun control candidates in Senate and gubernatorial races around the country,” and added that while gun-control PACs donated heavily to anti-gun candidates, “The Second Amendment trumped their endorsement and their money.” READ MORE

Supreme Court Grants BATFE Broad Leeway on “Straw Purchase” Rules in Abramski v. United States

On June 16, 2014, the United States Supreme Court issued an opinion in the case of Abramski v. United States. The ruling seemingly allows the government to require virtually any information it wants from a person buying a firearm from a federally licensed dealer, whether or not that information has any relationship to public safety or the policies of federal law. READ MORE

Sharply Divided Connecticut Bar Members Vote to Abandon Brady Campaign’s Anti-gun Litigation Effort

Lawyers are generally required to be admitted to the bar association of a given jurisdiction (and to pay bar dues) before being allowed to practice in that locale. The overarching purpose of bar associations is to maintain the integrity, trust, and quality of the legal profession, and more broadly, to promote justice and the rule of law. Bar associations pursue these goals by, for example, establishing minimum standards of knowledge or competence for entering the profession, rules of professional ethics and conduct, continuing education requirements and opportunities, and free or affordable legal aid programs. Experienced, knowledgeable attorneys are rarely in complete agreement about the meaning or application of the law itself, much less politics or social policy, so when a bar deviates from its inward focus on the legal profession to an outward focus on social engineering, controversy is certain to result. The reputation of the legal profession itself is also bound to suffer.READ MORE

Bloomberg’s wasted millions

Mike Bloomberg put $50 million into Tuesday’s elections, and he doesn’t have much to show for it. Someone, perhaps the Koch brothers, ought to treat him to a Big Gulp. The onetime mayor of New York City organized a group called Everytown for Gun Safety, meant to rival the National Rifle Association, and with a lot more money. The new group was supposed to put gun control on the front burner. Instead, the gun-control candidates got scorched on the back burner.READ MORE

Election Eve Dump: Justice Department Turns Over 64,280 pages of Claimed ‘Executive Privilege’ Operation Fast and Furious Documents

Last night, in response to an Order from a Federal judge, the Department of Justice turned over 64,280 pages of documents that were withheld from Congress after President Obama asserted Executive Privilege on the eve of a contempt citation for Attorney General Eric Holder in June 2012. The sheer volume of last night’s document production—which consists entirely of documents that the Justice Department itself acknowledges are not covered by Executive Privilege—shows that the President and the Attorney General attempted to extend the scope of the Executive Privilege well beyond its historical boundaries to avoid disclosing documents that embarrass or otherwise implicate senior Obama Administration officials.READ MORE

DOJ Uses Election Eve to Obscure Fast and Furious Document Dump

On November 3, the day before the midterm elections, the Department of Justice released over 64,000 pages of materials pertaining to BATFE’s Operation Fast and Furious, to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.  Some, including former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson who helped break the Fast and Furious story, have suggested that the timing of the document dump was cynically calculated to ensure the release of the documents would not receive adequate press coverage.READ MORE

Here's the new boss? Same as the old boss?

Here’s the new boss? Same as the old boss?

“Calling her “an under-the-radar contender to become the first black woman to head the Justice Department,” a Thursday Associated Press profile on United State Attorney Loretta Lynch leaves more questions than answers. She’s “low-profile,” we are told. She doesn’t generally talk to the media. She doesn’t give many speeches.

With that being the case, how are all of us, but gun owners in particular, supposed to determine whether or not she would be an acceptable nominee, and if we should reward or punish our Senators for rejecting or confirming her if she is put forth? What is it we can infer, what is it we know, and what is it we need to determine before we can make an informed assessment?

The fact that she’s an Eastern District of New York prosecutor needs to be a big red flag, but not an automatic disqualifier. After all, Alex Kozynski is Chief Justice of the “liberal” Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals headquartered in San Francisco, and he’s the guy whose dissenting opinion in Silveira v Lockyer included the astoundingly refreshing observation that “the simple truth—born of experience—is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people.”

The GOP winning the Senate will change exactly nothing.

The GOP won enough seats on Tues to take control of the Senate-which will change nothing,not one thing.

The Dems and the GOP are so far removed from from the founders idea of a representative form of government,where the people get to have a say in everything that government does,that they would not recognize the clusterfuck we currently have in DC.

The Dems and the GOP both work for themselves first and foremost,and team .gov inc. secondly.

The red team/blue team bullshit being swallowed by the “average American”-who is becoming dumber with each graduating class from the .gov inc. / leftist indoctrination camps that our public schools have become-is nothing more than bread and circuses-heavy on the .gov inc EBT card provided bread and HFCS.

The “average American” is a dumb,fat,lazy, pathetically out of shape wage slave who simply does not understand-or refuses to believe what’s going on in front of their eyes.

Team .gov inc is taking the citizens freedoms a little at time.

This started as a death by a thousand cuts approach,lately-it is turning into an all-out assault on our freedoms.

The gestapo kicks in doors at 4 am,often the wrong door,at the wrong home,and faces no wrath from the dumbed down fat fucks that make up most of the citizenry-they actually swallow the team .gov inc. propaganda that these raids are to keep them safe from “terrorists” and violent criminals.

The gestapo stops random cars on our interstate highways,and searches innocent citizens,confiscating their hard earned cash without ever charging them with a crime.

The IRS just takes citizens hard earned cash directly from their bank accounts-without ever charging them with a crime.

The gestapo can force you,by using your own fingerprint-to “unlock” your smartphone-without first obtaining a warrant.

The NSA is tracking every text,e-mail,phone call,and the internet browsing history of all of us.

The new TV sets have so much technology that the NSA could easily abuse that you can be on video and audio,being watched by the NSA any time you are in the same room as your new flat screen tee vee.

I’m sure that it won’t be long before team .gov inc. is spying on all of us via drones-they probably already are.

Print and TV journalists are being spied on by team .gov inc.

The media is largely state run now-nothing more than propaganda being spewed by team .gov inc.

You can not even build a new pole barn,garage,or remodel your home without a multitude of local,county and state agencies getting some of your hard earned $$$. After all that-the EPA can just claim your property is a wetland,or an endangered toad,frog,mouse,lizard,tortoise,or unicorn lives in the area,and it’s now off limits to any and all human activity.

The BLM is working with the EPA,and a bunch of the animal “rights” whackos,and enviro-nazis to classify millions of acres of fed lands “Areas Of Environmental Concern”,and restricting or banning human activities on said lands.

The BLM is not the only team .gov inc. agency working with the EPA, animal “rights” whackos,and enviro-nazis-the USFS has banned logging on billions of acres of national forest lands,the USFWS has banned and/or restricted fishing and hunting on fed lands,as has the Army Corps of Engineers.

The leftist governors of NY CO,and Conneticut,along with both state’s elected representatives have banned certain types of firearms,and the standard capacity magazines that go with them,making all of those-and there are quite a lot of “those” who refuse to comply with the bans instant felons.

None of the leftist/socialist governors has sent his state’s gestapo,and their “SWAT” teams to begin kicking doors in the middle of the night,and hauling the gun owners lucky enough to not have been killed by the poorly trained,trigger happy team .gov inc. members of the “SWAT” teams off to the gulag.

Should these morons begin kicking in doors at 4am to attempt gun confiscation-a whole lot of people are going to die,because most people I know-if their door was kicked in at 4am-are coming out of their bedroom shooting to kill the intruders.

Should these fucktard governors decide that kicking in doors to confiscate guns is a good idea-they will ignite a civil war that will make version I look like it was re-enactment,it would last years,and many millions would die.

The three states still have the same fucktards as governors-CO and Conn. have populations of leftists that vastly outnumber those who value freedom and rightful liberty.

So does NY,but like CO’s Denver,NYC and the large cities in Conn-the leftists in the big cites now outnumber the rest of the states-where the majority of gun owners reside.

The  first, second,and fourth amendments are being largely ignored by team .gov inc.

The fat,dumbed down,pathetically out of shape sheeple were all warm and fuzzy over the GOP wins-that’s because they have lost the ability to think for themselves,and are too busy watching the bullshit on the tee-vee,watching football,or “reality” shows.

Some people are opening their eyes,and waking up to the shit being pulled by team .gov inc.

More people need to be aware of what is actually taking place in our government-it’s sure as hell not a government of the people,by the people,and for the people any longer.

Those elected to represent the citizenry represent themselves first, and team .gov inc second-they could care less about you and me. They are too busy enriching themselves,their families,and their friends,being bought and paid for by lobbyists, and lining up a job after they leave office.

Red team or blue team-there’s no difference-they are both only out for themselves and team .gov inc.

It’s not likely that we can vote our way out of the mess that is the federal government…

“…and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 100 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.” – An anonymous former US Marine.

Eleventh Circuit Upholds Florida’s Patient Privacy Law

Posted: November 7, 2014 by gamegetterII in anti-gun asshattery, anti-gun idiocy, gun laws, gun rights
Tags: , , , ,

In a victory for gun owners who simply seek medical care, not political philosophy, from their doctors, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has upheld the NRA-supported Florida’s Firearm Owner’s Privacy Act. This law was passed after an escalating series of events in which patients were harassed or denied access to services because they refused to be interrogated by their doctors about their ownership of firearms. The case, Wollschlaeger v. Governor of Florida, vindicated Florida’s attempt to protect patients from being forced to divulge personal information that is irrelevant to their own medical treatment.

In challenging the law, Dr. Wollschlaeger and the other plaintiffs insisted they had a First Amendment right to routinely grill patients on their choices concerning firearm ownership, without regard to any good faith belief such information was relevant to the patient’s individual case. They also alleged the law’s proscriptions were unconstitutionally vague.

The Court of Appeals rejected these claims.  “The essence of the Act,” the court’s opinion stated, “is simple: medical practitioners should not record information or inquire about patients’ firearm-ownership status when doing so is not necessary to providing the patient with good medical care.” Accordingly, the court determined that “[t]he Act merely circumscribes the unnecessary collection of patient information on one of many potential sensitive topics.”

As the court noted, nothing in the Florida law prohibits doctors from expressing their views about firearms or about any other medical or public policy issue. Rather, the law is within keeping of long-established “codes of conduct that define the practice of good medicine and affirm the responsibility that physicians bear” and “protects a patient’s ability to receive effective medical treatment without compromising the patient’s privacy with regard to matters unrelated to healthcare.”

Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning from his post as the longest-serving member of President Obama’s Cabinet.

While outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder continues to fend off responsibility for the law enforcement snafu known as Operation Fast and Furious, documents obtained through a judge’s order reveal that not only did Holder know about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), but he discussed it via email with his physician spouse, Sharon Malone, however President Barack Obama is granting those emails to be withheld based on an “executive privilege” claim.

A little ingenuity renders Colorado ‘high capacity’ magazine ban toothless

“…Magazine manufacturer Magpul has left Colorado as a result (although not before equipping Coloradans with tens of thousands of the soon-to-be-banned magazines–many of them for free–just before the law went into effect), taking their tax revenue and good jobs with them. But the political fallout went much further than that. State Senator John Morse (D), who as Senate President spearheaded the law, and Senator Angela Giron (D), became the first (and so far, the only) two Colorado senators to be kicked out of office on a recall vote (actually, the first two to have even faced a serious recall effort), despite an enormous funding advantage, courtesy of gun-hating billionaire and aspiring King of the Galaxy Michael Bloomberg. Then, when faced with her own recall vote–again because of her part in passing the magazine ban–Senator Evie Hudak (D) resigned her senate seat, so that, as per Colorado law, she would be replaced by a new senator from her own party, rather than lose the recall election to a Republican, thus shifting control of the senate.

The political fallout for Governor John Hickenlooper (D) has also been severe, to the point of causing him to flip-flop and waffle chaotically with regard to the ban–prompting the superbly ironic “Hickenlooper Blues” (do not cheat yourself out of the opportunity to watch the video).”

“According to the breathless “reporting” of CBS Denver’s Brian Maass, Colorado gun shops have found a couple methods of legally providing buyers with the ability to equip themselves with 30-round magazines. One way to do it is using parts kits:

In Colorado Springs at Old Colorado City Surplus, an Army Surplus store, a CBS4 producer bought two brand-new high capacity magazine “kits.”

The kits consist of the magazine hardware and a spring that needs to be inserted to make the unit operational.

The clerk opened the package, put it together in 24 seconds and sold CBS4 the 30 round magazine for $25.

According to the clerk, the kits are “selling really, really fast.” Another method is to sell 30-round magazines that have been modified in such a way as to limit their capacity to 15, but the modification is easily reversed by the buyer:”

“Restoring the magazine back to its standard, designed capacity of 30 rounds is as easy as popping a rivet out. This, of course, is without even delving into 3-D printed magazines. A magazines is, after all, little more than a box with a spring inside–it hardly requires a sophisticated factory to produce.

The CBS crew seems unconcerned about any prosecution they might face for possessing “illegal” magazines–perhaps they have secured for themselves the hallowed “David Gregory exemption” to onerous magazine bans.”
