Biden and ATF already conspirin

Reports indicate that Biden reached out to acting director Lombardo asking for the agency’s “top priorities,” which anonymous sources say Lombardo identified as pistol braces and 80% lower receivers.

Michigan supreme court to decide if students may bear arms on college campuses

After nearly three and a half years, the Michigan Supreme Court will finally hear an appeal of a lower court’s decision to uphold a ban on the possession of firearms on University of Michigan’s campus. Unfortunately, the conditions for hearing the case are off to a bad start. Per the order issued by the state supreme court, the party appealing the lower court’s decision must address “whether intermediate or strict judicial scrutiny applies in this case” and whether the University of Michigan’s anti-gun policy “reflects historical or traditional firearm restrictions within a university setting.”

North Carolina county refuses to process gun permit applications . . . again.

From behind the skirt of Harnett County Health Director Josh Rouse, Sheriff Wayne Coats announced earlier this week that his office would be suspending fingerprinting services, an essential component of firearms permit applications, for two weeks, or at least until November 23.

Miss USA opposes gun bans, but also AKs

“I think it’s important that we not ban guns because, obviously, people will find a way to get what they want anyway,” Branch, who represented Mississippi, said onstage as she stood among the final five contestants on Monday night. “But I think it’s our Second Amendment right, and I think we just need more safety surrounding that.”

Not exactly the pro-human rights response I was looking for. Good thing I wasn’t sitting as a judge. But it gets worse. According to Miss Asya, “AK-47s and other guns along those lines should be left to our military,” and “[t]here’s no reason for civilians to have those types of weapons.”
