VanDerStok v. Garland Challenge to ATF’s ‘Frame or Receiver’ Rule Update

Because the parties contest the utility of a completed classification request, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion and CLARIFIES that the current injunction precludes Defendants from concluding its classification determination with respect to Tactical’s product. [More]

My legally unqualified two cents: This is a hopeful development and it has the potential, in the end, to stop a lot of the Constitutionally-unauthorized tyrannical rule nonsense in its tracks, but it only applies to this limited case and there’s still a long way to go.

A Farewell to Arms

A man who spent 16 years in prison for a 2004 school shooting in upstate New York was attacked by a sword-wielding vagrant at the homeless shelter where he now works — and he’s going viral with candid TikTok updates on his recovery. Jon Romano, who was released from prison in 2020, had to have his arms reattached after they were severed in the terrifying Aug. 29 attack in Albany, that also left him with severe injuries to his head and legs… [More]

Finally — a “prohibited person” who was effectively disarmed…

And That’s the Way It Is

I see nothing surprising and would not expect them to have everything they own taken from them and be sent to prison as felons by defying tyranny enforcers that will destroy them. That said, it’s the reason I do not personally use the internet for such transactions.

But that said, there are still unanswered questions.

In any case, we have already established that I don’t own any guns and never have– nasty, scary things, always going around killing people…

Ohio Gun ‘Buyback’ Posturing Will Mask Democrat Failures, Endanger Public

Here’s my challenge for the County Council and Sheriff Featheree: You’re enticing people of unknown abilities to handle and transport guns. You’ll no doubt tell them to make sure it’s not loaded. How will you ensure they know how to first safely handle it and then safely do that? [More]

What could ensure more “commonsense gun safety” than enticing novices who don’t know the rules to handle and transport guns they may not know how to clear?

As an aside, there must have been a copyright issue I didn’t know about because I picked a different photo than the stock one they used– those guns don’t look like pieces of rusted and worn-out junk at all.

Old Enough to Serve

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in West Virginia, challenging the federal prohibition on handgun sales to young adults ages 18-20, and is asking for a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. [More]

I’ve made my views known…

UPDATE

And here’s another SAF legal action:

SAF SUES CALIFORNIA OVER LAW SUPPRESSING GUN LAWSUITS

Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment respect the First?

Catching Hellfire

ATF sent a cease and desist to Hellfire telling them their Hellfire Stealth is a regulated machinegun. But if you look at the product, it’s a simple set screw in your grip screw to make your trigger a hair trigger.  [More]

As I would recall — if I’d ever owned one — those came with a copy of ATF’s approval of the device’s legality…

I’ll have to see if I can find my co… uh… one.

They sound like the kind of thing you would have used once or twice at the range and then decided the fun wasn’t worth the ammo…

Speaking of Community Standards…

5 Students Shot, 1 Killed, at Roxborough High School Football Scrimmage – Two gunmen fired at least 70 times as they ambushed the group on the 300 block of Fairway Terrace, behind Roxborough High School, around 4:41 p.m., police said [More]

No descriptions of the at-large threats to the community?

Speaking of which, I see the village idiots have mobilized in front of the school “holding signs and demanding something be done about gun violence.”

GOA and GOF Legal Updates

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a preliminary injunction yesterday against a Winchester, VA ordinance that prohibits the possession, carry, or transportation of firearms at public parks and in public areas where approved demonstrations are occurring. [More]

You take a look at the history of the place and you’ve just gotta shake your head at what those who live there now have done to it.

UPDATE

Also in this post:

Philadelphia, PA – Yesterday, lame-duck Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order prohibiting individuals from lawful carry at all City of Philadelphia recreational facilities. The mayor’s actions are in clear violation of Pennsylvania law prohibiting these types of local gun restrictions. Within hours of Mayor Kenney’s signing ceremony, Gun Owners of America (GOA) filed a lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of this illegal gun regulation.

Antis Crossing Fingers, Hoping This is the One…

Active shooter at Arkansas hospital; feds, local police responding [More]

I can hear the grabbers now:

“Please let it be a white conservative with an assault rifle, please let it be a white conservative with an assault rifle…”

This is where developments will break.

UPDATE

It’s over. One killed and they’re not saying who’s in custody yet.

We’re the Only Ones Psyched Enough

Dozens of Officers Have Firearms Taken Away After Failing Psych Evaluations [More]

Hey. aren’t these the same guys who are supposed to be disarming us…? Kinda makes you wonder what kind of morons, psychopaths, and mental defectives they hand out badges to…

So what sense does it make to take their duty guns but not any personal firearms they might own?  Actually, what sense does it make to leave someone who can’t be trusted with a gun without a custodian?

The results aren’t trustworthy, they say?  So what does that say about red flag laws?

Speaking of Disturbingly Persistent Ideas…

“Elegant and important essay by @RepRaskin debunking the disturbingly persistent idea that the 2nd Am gives citizens the right to take up arms against the government.” [More]

For being an “LATimes Legal Affairs Columnist. Former US Attorney, DOJ official. Teach con law at UCSD& UCLA” you’d think this f***ing idiot would know the Second Amendment doesn’t “give” any rights.

As for Marxist weasel Raskin, the rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from the corrupt tree.

It’s funny that the Democratic Underground uses a web archive link to avoid the NYT paywall. It’s dangerous that no one there understands the basics of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

Hunting Council Masks Hostility to Founding Intent with Gun Banner’s Appointment

“Busse was listed as ‘unaffiliated,’ but that is not true… He is an advisor for the Giffords gun control group and has openly advocated the ban on the most popular selling centerfire rifle in America…” [More]

Yeah, put the fox in charge of the henhouse. What could go wrong?
