Notes from the Resistance
N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]

But this is NOT a major loss for 2A or gun rights. First, it is not a 2A case so it does matter at all to Heller/Bruen analysis. Second, SCOTUS clearly left open the door for Trump to repeal the Biden ATF regulations (or even rewrite them in a very favorable way for the “home-made gun” industry… [More]
Regardless of how it was presented, this definitely is an infringement on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And the next administration can undo any rule change this one makes.

In all the 30+ years I was employed, the thought of doing something like this never crossed my mind, but then, I don’t have the superior training.

Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed.

All this back-and-forth has got to stop.
The Supreme Court sided with the federal government’s effort to regulate so-called ghost gun kits for making untraceable weapons. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for seven justices upholding federal regulation, over dissent from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. [More]

How DOJ squares that with “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” has not been stated.
We Are Running Out Of Time… The current Republican response to these attacks has been to send out ludicrous form emails and newsletters telling people to “flood the Democrat’s” inboxes. While we would like to chalk this up to stupidity and the magical thinking of 5 year olds, we cannot. This is cowardice and a cynical attempt at job security. [More]
Most gun groups still haven’t learned what a waste that is, unless you want to give safe seat Democrats a good laugh.

Sens. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have introduced legislation that would protect the Second Amendment rights of veterans who seek help at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). [More]
While state laws vary significantly about who is required to report an individual to NICS, if the appropriations rider preventing this expires without replacement on March 14, 2025, VA may report people to NICS without a court order, as mental incompetency determinations for veterans are determined through an administrative, rather than judicial process.
Only a “4% chance of being enacted“…?

“Voluntary,” of course, means coereced to keep from having worse charges filed. Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment care about the Fifth?
