FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTS TRO IN SAF CHALLENGE OF NEW JERSEY GUN LAW [More]
I’m wondering at what point a judge is going to start sanctioning state defendants for clearly engaging in deliberate defiance and delays, and making it personal.
US appeals court blocks ban on rapid-fire ‘bump stocks’ [More]
I’m looking into what this means for my case and plan on drafting something up soon.
In the meantime, seeing as how AP is telling everybody “The ban was instituted after a gunman perched in a high-rise hotel using bump stock-equipped weapons massacred dozens of people in Las Vegas in 2017,” I’m wondering what they know that the government evidently doesn’t.
CBS Philadelphia found many shootings are concentrated in just several neighborhoods, leaving behind a horrible toll of trauma for those living in those areas. [More]
Been looking at Neighborhood Scout again, have we?
So when the grabbers talk about owning a gun being more dangerous than not owning one, first of all, they’re talking about people who don’t actually own them, and second, if you’re not a scumbag criminal loser, their “statistics” don’t apply to you…? Including women…?
Making manipulative crap like this a carefully crafted lie?

In a news conference from Sao Paulo state, Lula accused Bolsonaro of encouraging the uprising by those he termed “fascist fanatics,” and he read a freshly signed decree for the federal government to take control of security in the federal district. “There is no precedent for what they did and these people need to be punished,” Lula said. [More]
Sure there is. It even looks like they’re using the J6 Playbook.
And not to say “I told you so,’ but:
This isn’t over. And we in the Land of the Second Amendment may learn a thing or two before it is… In an editorial comment-laced “news” story rife with loaded terms and leftist-sympathizing sentiment, The Washington Post tells us Jair Bolsonaro has flown to Florida. Don’t be surprised if that’s not enough for the Lula regime.
Tangentially related: It looks like the trade association rope-sellers can’t suck up hard enough and hit the ground running proposing new infringements. [More]

Jones also declined to reveal details of the shooting, or say how the boy got access to the gun or who owns the weapon. “This is a red flag for the country,” Jones said. [More]
A red flag for the country as in he wants to mass confiscate guns without due process, or a red flag for the country as in everybody better take that as a signal of tyrannical intent and prepare accordingly?
Convenient, isn’t it, how they can use the little aberration’s age to mask relevant details that will prove to all but the fanatical and the stupid that this is not a “gun problem” and hardly representative of the country outside of “progressive” enclaves?

UPDATE
Who let this idiot into the country?
Blue states are attempting to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and federal law to go after “assault weapons.” [More]
My latest piece…
But don’t worry. No one is trying to take your guns.
Ah! The understanding at the time was that parents would have a say in what their dependent children could or could not do! So, according to this, there were no Founding-era laws saying a boy or girl couldn’t have a gun if the adults raising them wanted them to. [More]
Remove predators from society and leave our guns and our children alone? The parasites, control freaks, and groomers aren’t gonna like that one bit…
Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation and its allies have filed a brief supporting their earlier motion for summary judgment in a federal challenge of Illinois’ ban on concealed carry by young adults in a case known as Meyer v. Raoul. [More]
Remember all those laws from the Founding era making it a crime for 18-20-year-olds to have a gun?
Me neither.
Judge Claims “Lack of Standing” in Second Amendment Public Transportation Case … In effect, Judge Moss is stating a plaintiff will need to be arrested for violating the District of Columbia’s ban on carrying concealed weapons in order to challenge the ban. [More]
Who thinks the Obama nominee rides the Metro into work?

Illinois House Executive Committee passes assault weapons ban [More]
Now we see if they can ram the whole thing through, at which point I’m sure challenges requesting an injunction are already set to go.
The State of New York is Still Fighting the Bruen Decision [More]
Herschel brings us up to date on Antonyuk v Satan’s Minions, including New York’s insulting brief and Stephen Stamboulieh’s authoritative response.
I have to find out what SCOTUS’s options are for slapping inferiors defying hierarchical precedent down.
Transage Activists Now Claim “Age Is A Social Construct,” Just Like We Predicted Would Happen [More]
Perhaps we can make lemonades out of lemons– I have long advocated for giving young people development-appropriate gun training, as opposed to “age-appropriate.” Maybe this can be exploited against those obnoxious and unconstitutional edicts saying you have to be 21 to buy the firearm of your choice.
Except I bet if you asked transage proponents, they’d tell you no age is appropriate. More likely, they just want to diddle with kids.
Now wait for Phase Two: Age is racist.

So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]
What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?
A federal lawsuit supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition has been filed in New York, challenging that state’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
I’ve been arguing not to forget “core purpose” in 2A actions, so I find this a good add:
The firearms at issue in this case are the sorts of bearable arms in common use for lawful purposes that law-abiding people possess at home by the millions. And they are, moreover, exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty, should such be necessary.
