An Informed Opinion

From David T. Hardy, via an email discussion concerning SCOTUS declining to hear a challenge to New York concealed carry laws:

It just declined to grant a stay pending appeal (or, to be more exact, refused to overrule the 2nd Circuit’s decision to grant a stay), which is not really refusing to hear the case. The two dissenters suggested they were ready to jump down the 2nd Circuit’s throat if it didn’t do the right thing.

The 2nd Circuit is going to look at this case very carefully….

Napoleon, when someone was going into detail on a particular general’s military virtues and why he deserved promotion, cut him off with “Enough, tell me one thing — is he lucky?” Meaning, I think, does he get results that no one expected. The attorney in the case, Steven Stamboulieh, appears to be very, very, lucky. He is someone to watch, now and ten years from now when we in the old guard are gone.

Still Repressive After All These Years

Back in the day, Democrats reacted to the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision requiring that they respect all Americans’ civil liberties with fury and a petulant campaign of massive resistance. What is old is new again – the Democrat Party is back in form, furious that SCOTUS will not let them steal our rights. This time it is gun rights. The Bruen decision made it clear that blue states cannot deny your right to keep and bear arms on a whim. And the libs have gone into overdrive to undermine it. [More]

That the lying totalitarian wannabes call themselves “liberals” is all we need to know.

Brace Yourselves

Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) introduced the Protecting Individual Sovereignty Through Our Laws Act, or PISTOL Act. This legislation would prevent the Biden Administration from regulating pistol braces by clarifying that what constitutes a “pistol” is not subject to bureaucratic interpretation, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has wrongly done in their recently finalized rule. [More]

I don’t see it listed under his name on GovTrack yet but consider the bill’s passage prognosis pretty much “0” with a Democrat Senate and president.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Get Back in the Water

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]

How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.

I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.

Maybe somebody’s got pictures?

Punching Back

SAF FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST ILLINOIS GUN BAN [More]

Look at all the legal actions, just for this group.

You’d better believe part of the enemy’s legal strategy is to use their virtually unlimited tax plunder resources to deplete their victims’ resources.

I’d really like to see a concerted effort by the “gun lobby” to go after qualified immunity for enforcers abetting tyranny.

Doing the Executions Americans Won’t Do

6 family members, including baby, shot dead at home in targeted ‘massacre’: Sheriff [More]

Notice they don’t identify the victims even though everything about this screams victim and perp cartel affiliations? And when the accompanying video is over, the next one begins with a somber “America: armed and dangerous”?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

Keir Starmer has said he could support stronger laws against the ownership of shotguns, speaking in the wake of a drive-by shooting outside a church in north London at the weekend. While there is no indication any gun used in Saturday’s incident, in which four women and two children were injured by shotgun pellets, was legally owned, Starmer said there was a wider issue of legally held guns being misused. [More]

No.

And hopefully, no more Americans will die in wars saving you.

Enjoy the caliphate that is taking over while you lot are fixated on Harry and Meghan.
