The Dog Ate My Homework

First, she said, she managed to drop her phone into a filled bathtub. When she pulled the phone out of the water and found it was not working, Choi went to her laptop in order to make a video call. When the call ended, Choi then knocked over a bottle of water—whoops!—directly onto the computer, which was also taken out of commission. So, when the day came to hand in her devices, neither was working. [More]

I’m Just a Little Black Raincloud

I hate to be Eeyore, but with all the hyperbole and excitement I’m seeing about national Constitutional Carry reciprocity, it doesn’t seem out of line to ask the gushers and the click baiters to provide a realistic estimate of whose votes we can count on, and which “Republicans” will join with the slim Democrat minority to keep the bill from getting to the president’s desk.

No one would like my caution to be proven unfounded more than me. The last thing I want to see with such great expectations is the wind taken out of everyone’s sails.

Anyone care to help me jump on the bandwagon?

The Felon in Chief?

Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to “unconditional discharge,” meaning no jail, no probation and no fine. But the sentence will still formally make Trump the first criminal convict ever to occupy the Oval Office. [More]

We’ll see what happens with an appeal.

In the meantime, is a “prohibited person” in charge of ATF?

It’s Showtime!

The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a third Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, B&L Productions v. Newsom, for conference on Friday, Jan. 24. The case challenges California’s statutes which ban gun shows on state-owned property. Because the gun shows at issue are not only opportunities to view and purchase firearms, but also for like-minded individuals to assemble and share ideas, the case presents questions about both the First and Second Amendments. [More]

Having followed this issue for many years, I say apathetic gun show attendees own their share of the mess they’ve allowed. They’re no doubt part of the majority that don’t contribute to efforts like this to clean up that mess.

Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. Has Yuge ‘But’

Based on the record and arguments in this case. the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the Second Amendment would require this Court—as counseled by the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment decisions—to declare the parks issue in Plaintiffs’ favor.’ But… [More]

A small concession aside, the “but” is all you need to know.

That and he’s one of those Trump judges we’ve been led to believe would turn things around.

Fitting the Profile

“I’ve been suicidal for a long time, and when I saw that the leaked draft, it made me upset and then it made me want to, I don’t know,” Roske said. “I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him.” Roske said another motivating factor was that he heard the Supreme Court was going to loosen gun restrictions, which would make it easier for people to acquire guns.

Well, it beats Cornyn’s.

When I posted on this the other day, the linked bill text talked permits. What am I reading wrong?

Now that he’s apparently changed that, I’m not sure why he didn’t just support Massie’s. Is the GOP squeezing him out in revenge for opposing Mike Johnson on principle?

And still no prognosis.

Who wants to bet against me and how much?

I’m trying to find some sympathy. I know I left it lying around here someplace…
