A Good First Step

Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that Federal District Court Judge Iain D. Johnston has declared the State of Illinois’ ban on carrying firearms on public transportation and in public transportation facilities unconstitutional as applied to the named plaintiffs in the FPC-supported lawsuit Schoenthal v. Raoul. [More]

Good. But don’t overlook “The State is expected to appeal the decision.”

Lie After Lie with This Guy

“Yeah, I said we were talking in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war. And my wife, the English teacher, told me my grammar is not always correct,” he said. [More]

Says the guy who taught English in China…

And he’s not the only one making unbelievable excuses:

Tim Walz’s ties to China are not concerning

We’re the Only Ones Normal Enough

Defendant Hines … did not mention that Plaintiff’s mother had initiated the encounter by calling emergency services to express concern about a trespasser… and he stated—incorrectly—that Plaintiff had been charged with aggravated assault… Finally, he wrote that Plaintiff complied with the officers’ commands and told officers he had been afraid for the safety of his grandmother (apparently an erroneous reference to Plaintiff’s mother) [More]

And a “trained professional” being sloppily incompetent and incapable of filing an accurate police report is enough to disarm a citizen…?

Normal PD, eh? Where the chief can have a gun in his carry-on with no consequences?

Four Boxes Diner breaks the case down.

I Thought This Had Nothing to Do with That ‘Single Issue’…

Is Hispanic Support for Gun Control A Cause for Concern? [More]

You have to ask?

The “pathway to citizenship” is the existential threat.

As for existing ones, care to try for some NRA ratings?

No shortage of sellouts here, too…

Sure, outreach is- a fine and necessary idea. All gun groups should have been doing it. Just don’t forget to compare grassroots fundraising to what’s needed to compete for eyes and ears with this…

The Games People Play

The Court should not grant certiorari to review at this stage but should permit the ordinary percolation process to continue and reserve its intervention for the point at which, if it comes at all, the courts of appeals are actually divided.” [More]

I understand what they’re doing and why.

It’s not them, it’s a fraudulent power-usurping system that allowed the first infringement to take place and has done nothing since but entrench and assail.

Completer Sense

The crux of the opinion, that there is no rational justification to criminalize the possession of weapons, a fundamental right, just because someone smokes marijuana provided they aren’t doing the latter and former at the same time, makes complete sense. [More]

Holding people accountable for misusing a gun, regardless of such circumstances, makes more sense.

Just So You Know Who’s Boss

You can only do that with illegal aliens and if you’re a Democrat.
