A Chink in the Armor Ban
A federal judge has ruled that a constitutional challenge to New York state’s ban on selling bulletproof vests to civilians can move forward. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge John Sinatra Jr. rejected a motion from state Attorney General Letitia James and other New York officials to dismiss a challenge, ruling the plaintiffs have standing to sue the state over the restrictions.

“Commonsense gun safety law advocate” Letitia not only wants to disarm you, she wants her shock troops to be able to more easily kill you with their “weapons of war.”

A Right Deliberately Delayed
As the saying goes, ‘A right delayed is a right denied,’ and the state has denied untold numbers of citizens their right to obtain firearms for almost two weeks. This amounts to a mass deprivation of civil rights under color of law. [More]
Let’s hope one of the functions of the Trump Justice Department will be to go after such violations– like we tried to get phony John Ashcroft to do many years ago.
I’ll have to include that thought in a Firearms News piece I’m working on about a Trump to-do list.

Poisoning the Second Amendment Court Record [More]
Herschel observers that “arguing for semi-automatic firearms because they aren’t fully automatic firearms and thus not in military use is the wrong tactic.”
“But we have to do things in increments,” some will argue back.
He realizes that. It’s for when we get to the make-or-break increment we should be worried about.
It’s similar to fears I’ve expressed about how relying on “in common use at the time” is a trap.

Ignoring the Rules
All Over the Map
Even more alarming are reports that the suspect in this case has had nine felony convictions over the past ten years, and that he also has misdemeanor convictions on his record, and at the time of the stabbing incidents, he was the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant. [More]
Let’s see if the map tells us anything useful…

Illinois Appeals District Court Harrel v. Raoul Ruling
Defendants Kwame Raoul, Attorney General of the State of Illinois, and Brendan F. Kelly, Director of the Illinois State Police (“State Defendants”), hereby appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit from the Court’s order and final judgment dated November 8, 2024, in this case (Doc. 55), as well as three related cases (Barnett, et al. v. Raoul, et al., 3:23-cv209 Doc. 259; Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois, et al. v. Pritzker, et al., 3:23-cv-215 Doc. 86; Langley, et al. v. Kelly, et al., 3:23-cv-192 Doc. 46). [More]
Of course they did. Tyrants don’t cede power unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demand, and besides, it’s not their money.

Credit Where Due
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners.

And there’s no link for this yet, but it just came in from SAF:

New York Newspeak
An Age-Old Question
However, state legislatures have the authority and prerogative, rooted in the Tenth Amendment, to set and adjust the age of majority as they see fit “for the public good”… [More]
This:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
does not override this:
This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
It’s so weird– young people in Marx for Our Lives demanding that the government curtail their rights because they’re not mature and responsible enough to claim them.

Shifty Dialogue
Our society is violent, and people who commit ‘‘violent acts’’ are oppressed human beings who are reacting to their reality
and their context. [More]
Myopic eggheadette thinks the way to “shift the dialogue” on disarming you is to start with a generality lie and sympathize with predators…?
