Lawsuit filed over rules aimed at Colorado gun dealer records

https://completecolorado.com/2026/06/15/colorado-sued-law-burdening-gun-dealers/

Quote
The Colorado State Shooting Association (CSSA) announced the legal challenge at a June 12 press conference, holding the announcement in the district represented by Senator Tom Sullivan, who CSSA identifies as a chief proponent of Colorado’s ongoing gun rights restrictions. The filing marks the third recent constitutional challenge CSSA has brought against Colorado gun laws.

The impetus for the lawsuit is House Bill 26-1126, signed into law by Governor Polis earlier this month. The law expands record-keeping requirements for firearms dealers and authorizes the Department of Revenue (DOR) to access transaction records maintained by federally licensed gun dealers (FFLs).

Critics say the law contains virtually no guardrails on access.

“There is virtually no limit on where, when, or how many times records may be demanded or for what purpose they may be used,” said David Price, the attorney representing CSSA, describing the law’s reach in legal filings.

CSSA President Ray Elliott was equally critical. “This law authorizes government agents to access sensitive firearm ownership records without a warrant, without probable cause, and without any requirement to justify the search,” said Elliot. “The Constitution does not permit the government to treat every law-abiding firearm owner as a suspect. We believe HB26-1126 violates fundamental protections guaranteed by both the Second and Fourth Amendments, and we are prepared to see this fight through.”

Gun dealers are so EEEeeeeee-vile that they do not deserve Constitutional rights.

kentuck. I couldn't help but notice you didn't specifically mention FRAUD by name. Considering your narrow news sources, you may not be aware of how trendy fraud has become. (verifiable facts. not  fantasies)
Look into it. Then research a little deeper than The View seems capable of. You're willfully blind if you refuse to see these documented, air tight real crimes your party has committed.

Dems reveal what they are by the fraud they find uninteresting:

* "Feeding Our Future"

* Minnesota Medicare fraud

* Los Angeles area fake hospice MediCal fraud

Just of the top of my head, a very incomplete list I'm sure. Dems are interested in SPENDING in social programs, not in assuring that ONLY people who need it get it.

I've been buying gas at the same station for several years, back into the LIEden MalAdministration. The peak price for Regular under LIEden was $5.699 per gallon. The highest price recently was the same, and had been stable at that price for nearly 2 months. That's just information, not complaint, and also the context Trump-Haters won't admit.

Last Saturday, June 13th, (as I mentioned above) I bought gas there, and the price had dropped to $5.439 per gallon, a $0.26 per gallon drop. This morning I drove past a different station whose price had been similar/same, and their price was $5.359, an indicator that the fall of prices will, in the near term, continue.

The law of supply and demand.

Once the oil starts filling the pipeline, given the pent-up supplies, the supply will be greater than demand and prices will reflect that.

In DU-Land, that's advanced Economics!

We are dealing with the largest crime syndicate in history. As the NY Post reported, it puts Al Capone to shame. They are dealing in lies, extortion, theft, murder, and all other crimes that are necessary for their continued survival.

MLB Continues Shameful Anti-Christian Crusade—Threatens Players Over Bible Verses on 'Pride Night' Caps

https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2026/06/16/mlb-continues-shameful-anti-christian-crusadethreatens-players-over-bible-verses-on-pride-night-caps-n2203383

Quote
In yet another display of its ongoing war on Christian faith, Major League Baseball has issued an official warning to three San Francisco Giants pitchers who dared to write Bible verses on their Pride Night caps.

And by 'warning' we mean threat, because what follows a warning in sports? Most likely a fine. Or, you know, as per Rule 3.03 of the official MLB Rulebook, a non-conforming player can be barred from participating in the game.

While the league under Commissioner Rob Manfred eagerly green-lights rainbow alterations and perpetually bows to the LGBT alphabet mafia, it is drawing a firm line at players subtly referencing God’s word.
...
According to The Athletic, MLB is putting its collective foot down after San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp and two of his teammates dared to add Bible verses to their 'Pride Night' caps. Bible verses, mind you, that explain the true symbolism of the rainbow—God's covenant with Noah, his descendants, and every living creature after the great flood.

"Similar behavior will not be tolerated," the report ominously reads.

Here is a quote of Genesis 9:12-16:

Quote
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

MLB is not doing as well as it was 40 or 60 years ago. In-your-facing a significant % of fans and then publicly doubling down to threaten mild protests against that move is "wisdom" that eludes me. In the same vein, telling players, "Your faith OR your career," might have consequences not intended by MLB manglement. I wonder if SF Giants' management//manglement will support their players or MLB manglement on this issue.

Plot Against Freedom 250 Event Foiled

The FBI has announced multiple arrests in connection with an alleged terrorist plot against the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House Sunday evening:

Quote
The plot to attack the White House’s UFC Freedom 250 event Sunday involved at least 12 suspects across the US who adhered to an “accelerationist” ideology and hoped to bring down American capitalism, according to federal law enforcement sources.
***
The suspects are in at least four states — California, Ohio, Missouri and Nebraska.They were plotting to gather in Fredericksburg, Virginia, to launch an explosive drone attack on the White House and surrounding buildings — and then attempt to storm the gates of the White House, according to sources.

Explosive drones bring terrorism up to date, I suppose. It isn’t clear how serious a plot this was. The linked Post story says it was uncovered when “a parent of one kid in the [Signal] messaging platform reporting it to the police….” And one suspect “was allegedly plotting the attack while in a mental health facility.”

My emphasis. The seriousness of the "plot" probably is one of the first questions being investigated. The complexity of the plan, relatively brief time for preparation, and geographic separation of the conspirators suggest a large degree of fantasy, though even parts of it being carried out would entail danger.
