Judge Contrarian

In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect. [More]

This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”

“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…

Who Will Judge the Judge?

IL Supreme Court justice that’s under fire was sued for legal malpractice (and lost the case) [More]

Nice to know our rights are being decided by the very best… Is there anything cleaner than Illinois politics?

If you don’t have Mom-At-Arms bookmarked, you’re missing out on routine unique “finds” that the ‘real reporters” will never tell you about.

Out-of-State Funding Pushes Anti-Gun Protasiewicz to Wisconsin Supreme Court

You don’t need a crystal ball to know that Protasiewicz will side with the gun prohibitionist violence monopolists every chance she gets. [More]

Not only will a defacto Demanding Mom be ruling from the High Court, Cheesehead commies are pushing a bill (AB 51) to allow DACA enforcers to be on state police and sheriff departments — hey, who needs to import blue helmets to help confiscate guns from citizens when we’ve got a ready-made pool of foreign nationals to draw from?

The Vichycon Difference!

A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]

Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.

The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.

The Type of People Who Call Us ‘Fascists’

Portland Rioter Previously Given Probation For Assaulting Federal Worker Sentenced In Killing Of Infant Son [More]

That’s about the behavior I’d expect from an Antifa-sympathizing scumbag coward. Anybody think the stupid beater chick who let this POS impregnate her has learned a thing about rational mate selection and ideological choices?

One Step Closer

In Washington state, House Bill 1240 was voted out of a Senate committee Tuesday, making it closer to becoming a reality. [More]

Here’s where you can track its progress.

After it passes and then wends its way through the challenges, all the Supreme Court will have to do to let it stand is… nothing.

If they do decide it’s time to resolve splits, a prayer for the continued good health of Justice Thomas wouldn’t hurt.

Half Measures

As other circuits have recognized, there is a rational relationship between prohibiting unlawfully present aliens from possessing firearms and achieving the legitimate goal of public safety. [More]

So illegal aliens are not the “ourselves and our Posterity” nor “the people” the Founders were contemplating in the Second Amendment…

True enough, but the real solution requires expelling them from the Republic. Otherwise, we’re left with another “law” being violated.

Lest Ye Be Judged

WE DID IT – thanks to the tireless efforts of Wisconsin Moms Demand Action volunteers and help from supporters like you, Judge Janet Protasiewicz was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court! [More]

In other words, it will be impossible for anything Second Amendment-related to get a fair hearing on an appeal.

And if Wisconsin Democrats have their way, it will be illegal aliens hauling gun owners in.

Unclear on the Concept

No wonder she’s so hot for “red flag laws.”

Future Lawfare Practitioners of America

Five security guards, threats of discipline required to protect free speech talk at DU law school [More]

And just think how many Marxist future attorneys, prosecutors, and judges at all levels are being churned out by the subversion mills.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Angry brainwashed “students” who are ostensibly there to learn presume themselves qualified to lecture.

Al Capp sure had it nailed:

A Good First Step

I have never given up hope that the collector’s item I got so I’d have standing will one day be surrendered back to me by ATF.

I wonder if SCOTUS will forever punt, and what the implications will be for pistol braces, forced reset triggers, and the like.

Apportioning the Blame

Michigan Appeals Court Weighs Charging Parents of School Shooter With Manslaughter [More]

There may not be legal grounds for this, but it sure sounds like there are moral ones. They had the long-term and daily context everyone else did not.

If I’d seen these signs in one of my boys and was too much of an in-denial coward to intervene, Shakespeare’s line about many deaths comes to mind.

That, of course, assumes they’re not sociopaths who can admit no wrongdoing themselves.

Just Like the Founders Intended

U.S.D.C. Judge Strikes Down Missouri’s ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act’ as Unconstitutional [More]

And just look at all those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” who voted to confirm him!

Funny: Nothing about Democrat cities and states refusing to cooperate with ICE…

If You Have to Ask You Can’t Afford It

Kenton County District Court Judge Ann Ruttle will be suspended for two weeks without pay in May after the Judicial Conduct Commission found she denied appointment of council to a defendant in 2021 who couldn’t afford one in a criminal case, according to court records. [More]

That’s just the way some like it.
