A Red Letter Day

A Michigan court may issue an extreme risk protection order “ex parte” – without written or oral notice to the subject of the order or an opportunity to respond to the allegations. If the petitioner is a law enforcement officer, he or she may apply for an immediate emergency order “verbally over the telephone,” without a written petition, and the judge or magistrate may issue the order based solely on that request.

So… does this mean Carita’s a liar…?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Due Process’ Is

So, when he designed his training, he emphasized due process protections embedded in these laws: Gun owners get ample notice about the petition, and they have the right to defend themselves in court through multiple hearings. [More]

But their guns are taken before anything’s proven, right?

Figures this Carita character works with 97Percent.

I take it no one argued Dred Scott…?

“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased… and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

The Whole Point of Newspeak

Naming a law that unconstitutionally displaces American workers with foreign invaders the “Keep Washington Working Act” is comparable to calling a Green New Deal spending blowout the “Inflation Reduction Act” and a desecration of holy matrimony the “Respect for Marriage Act.” [More]

And they want you disarmed to “protect public safety.”

Suing Instead of Solving

The Glock switch distraction [More]

As a tangentially-related aside, with the death of Gene Hackman happening while I was gone, I caught 2003’s Runaway Jury last night for the first time (co-starring the handsy Little Big Mouth). What a piece of crap primer in cartoonish anti-gun scripting and legal incompetence/ malpractice/ lawbreaking that I recommend seeing if for no other reason than to slap your forehead at the clumsiness of the attacks, and to appreciate how 2005’s Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act shields us from much such subversive nonsense, but not enough.

They Tyrannize Because They Can

Washington House Dems Pass Permit-to-Purchase Bill; Defies 2A, Say Critics [More]

That means the Marxists in charge can say “No,” and expand denial criteria with majority votes. This is naked, in-your-face tyranny.

As Constitutional scholar Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:

“This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.”

That’s why it’s a mistake to rely exclusively on “self defense” in legal arguments and avoid making a case for the Constitutiopnal Militia.

Child’s Play

Tell us all you have is race agitating fantasy wthout telling us all you have is race agitating fantasy. It’s a calculated decision that Giffords’ overwhelmingly white Democrat “leadership” chose to stereotype their “gun violence” exemplars. And what an appropriate submission date.

The thought strikes to submit a ridiculous script they’ll go for. And not reveal it until they do.

Ah, well, if this is what they want to spend their money on, it just confirms Emma Brown is a clueless DEI lightweight.

Impact of Trump ‘Gender Ideology’ Order on Firearm Transactions to Be Determined

What this means is the Form 4473 will need to be revised again if ATF is to comply with the executive order. [More]

Don’t let this distract from a more basic argument.

Debate Over Nassau ‘Militia’ Focuses on Wrong Understanding of Founding Intent

It sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and Founding era thought leaders weren’t big on “select militias.” [More]

Letting those with an agenda redefine terms ignores the real argument.

Will Present Legal Arguments Undermine Future Efforts to Restore Second Amendment?

It’s taking care of our immediate needs. However, the Founders bequeathed us a constitution intended “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” If this is all we concern ourselves with, what are we bequeathing to them? Semiautomatic firearm technology that’s already 140 years old…? In a world where technological developments and breakthroughs are being introduced seemingly exponentially, what new “terrible implements” will become standard issue in the next 140 years? [More]

In avoiding legal traps today, care must be taken not to catch ourselves in a more dangerous one tomorrow.

Take the Money and Run

Woman Robs Princeton TD Bank Of More Than $60,000 Using Painted Water Gun [More]

This looks like “gub.”

I guess the little hole at the end didn’t register?

No matter, bank policy mandating sheepishness means had the teller resisted, they’d lose their job. Just give them what they want.

What if what they want is … you? It’s not the money they’re threatening.
