A Missouri judge has ruled that a pardon from the governor doesn’t mean the St. Louis lawyer and his wife who gained national attention for waving guns at racial injustice protesters in 2020 should get back the weapons they surrendered and fines they paid after guilty pleas last year. [More]

While the legal wrangling is going on, recognition of “unalienable” rights is not.
Time was tyrannical outrages were properly regarded as Intolerable Acts.
A federal appeals court on Monday allowed New York to restrict the carrying of firearms on private property under a new law adopted in wake of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded gun rights. [More]
Sack is a Clintonista and Wesley was appointed by Dubya, but Bianco was a Trump nominee.

Once more, the story missing from other reports that no one else is yet talking about: If the Secret Service has “100 records totaling over 400 pages,” why did they tell me — and by extension, the court — under penalty of perjury that they had none? [More]
How do you get away with lying on an affidavit? We may be about to find out. And the media won’t care.
Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion for a stay pending appeal is GRANTED and … Appellees’ motion to expedite the resolution of the matter is GRANTED. [More]
So the infringements will continue but we’ll hurry up about making a decision?
Here’s the original Antonyuk v. Hochul complaint for those unfamiliar with the case. Just to give you an idea of how full of sh… uh… beans the other side is, check out this bit of lying, hoplophobic hysteria from Brady president Kris Brown:
New Yorkers, like all Americans, do not want their supermarkets, public squares, and child care centers turned into bullet-riddled crime scenes.
Where haven’t lawful concealed carriers done that?
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in state court, preventing the entire new Oregon gun control law from being enforced. Signed by Judge Robert S. Raschio, the order bars the state from implementing any portion of the law until a hearing is held on a request for a preliminary injunction next Tuesday. [More]
I guess it all depends on the judge…
UPDATE
This email from Oregon Firearms Federation just came across the transom. Since it is not yet posted to the “Alerts” page I am pasting it here in its entirety:
Early this morning we were notified that Judge Karin Immergut has denied our motion to delay the implementation of Ballot Measure 114.
She did agree with the state’s request to delay the permitting process for 30 days. A process the state assured the court will be ready by Thursday.
That will provide no protection for anyone who currently owns a standard capacity magazine or anyone who owns a common shotgun which will now be contraband.
It also does nothing for anyone waiting to take possession of a firearm they paid for but have not received, if that gun comes with a standard magazine.
Furthermore, come Thursday even security guards and off duty police will be breaking the law if they are in possession of a standard magazine.
This is a lengthy (and obviously disappointing) decision and we will have more information soon. But for now, unless something really unexpected happens, understand that your rights will be, once again, seriously eroded starting Thursday.
The cop who killed Shaver was fired. But he will receive a disability pension for the rest of his life because he claims he has post-traumatic stress disorder. [More]
And the tax cows he would have willingly executed as they groveled before him will foot the bill for everything.

“Temporary” as it can go on for two years and then they’ll enact another one.
So the majority can deny rights to minorities– just like the “good old days”?
What did Dr. King say about “justice delayed”?
Show me the prospective store owner with the resources to fight it. There are “historical understanding” grounds, you know:
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.
But a prospective gun store owner can’t afford to stage an extended challenge. How about it, FPC and/or CRPA?

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was convicted Tuesday of seditious conspiracy for a violent plot to overturn President Joe Biden’s election, handing the Justice Department a major victory in its massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. [More]
You know the questions I haven’t seen answered?
What order did he give to attack the Capitol? When did he give it? Who did he issue the order to?
Attorneys vow to appeal. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that would go to these judges. Noting who appointed most of them does not fill me with optimism, and all the Supreme Court would have to do to let a verdict stand is…nothing.
Leftist propagandist Raw Sory is quoting Constitutional joke Jamie Raskin to say Trump will pardon Rhodes and the other defendants. At this point and without what the conviction lacked, that is, specific substantiation, that seems more like a political tactic to influence the next presidential election.

The federal lawsuit was filed Monday by Everytown Law on behalf of Sandra Torres, the mother of Eliahna Torres, who was fatally shot on May 24 at Robb Elementary along with 18 other children and two teachers.

Yeah, I know, all guns are always loaded, and never point one at anything you’re not willing to destroy, but if the trigger really was defective and the gun really was prone to firing spontaneously, this sounds like they won one they should have lost and surrendered one they should have won.
