Just Think of Them as Commiesense Influencer Safety Laws
As reported earlier today, the lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on firearm marketing to youth, known as Jr. Shooting Sports Magazines v. Bonta, got a boost with the announcement that the State’s request for an en banc panel review of our favorable ruling in a lower court was denied, thus securing our injunction win. [More]
Nobody thought totalitarians would just stop at the Second Amendment, did they?
It’s telling, the literature and imagery they DO want young people exposed to.

A Taxing Proposition
Today the Illinois Appellate Division reversed a lower court decision that had dismissed a legal challenge to the Cook County tax on firearms and ammunition sales. [More]
That case has been going back and forth for years. I’d reserve words like “huge” for the final decision, whenever that is.

VCU Police found a VCU Health employee fabricated multiple reports of sexual and aggravated assault on campus… VCU Police confirm the employee is still working there, as no charges have been filed.

How about start by firing, naming, and arresting the lying b!+ch?

A Right Delayed
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discuses the three pieces of huge news where three separate petitions to the United States Supreme Court have been filed asking for review of Illinois’ assault weapon and magazine bans. This, added to the other petition filed last week in the matter of Bianchi v. Brown, means that there is now four separate peititions before SCOTUS to settle this once and for all. [Watch]
You can’t put it off any longer, SCOTUS.
Make your decision.
Some of us have already made ours.

A Word of Caution
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal challenge of the Illinois ban on modern semi-auto firearms and “large-capacity magazines” have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking certiorari in the case of Harrel v. Raoul. [More]
Be careful that you don’t turn “common use” into a precedential limitation.
Back for Another Round
The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms have once again petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in their continuing challenge of Maryland’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
How much longer can they avoid the inevitable?

Inclusiveness Writ Large
“These fifty laws identified by the Attorney General constitute a long, embarrassing, disgusting, insidious, reprehensible list of examples of government tyranny towards our own people,” Benitez wrote — and such “repugnant historical examples of prejudice and bigotry will not be used to justify the State’s current infringement on the constitutional rights of citizens.” [More]
Yet that’s exactly what Rob Bonta and all Democrats– not just the California ones — are calling for, no matter how much they try to distance themselves with specious, self-serving excuses.
Using their “logic,” they can also use the whip as long as they do it to all of us.
What do we have a Second Amendment for, again…?

F—in’ traitors. How is this not judicial insurrection?
In other words, they agree with Democrats and all the “commonsense gun safety law” groups.

When are departments going to learn “star cop” liabilities can outweigh any perceived PR value?
Let’s hope if one of the ignorant people he’s urging to handle and transport a gun ends up shooting someone that victims and survivors go after Shaq’s deep pockets. And the city’s, because they elected the sheriff.

History Lesson
“Our brief is really a look at history,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “We have detailed gun regulation in this country dating back to before the Revolutionary War, and our brief explains how the state has failed to provide a single Founding-era restriction on firearms commerce. [More]
The prohibitionist have been dodging that challenge for a long time.
Her Portion
We’re the Only Ones Hiding Enough
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!
All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
Reframing Bruen
As described above, the Petitioner has demonstrated and the Court finds that New York’s Red Flag Law is not beyond the “outer limits” the framers and ratifiers of the Second and Fourteenth amendment understood them, based on the nation’s historical traditions. [More]
It’s no surprise support for Red Queen laws comes from judges still inserting an affinity for the “collective right” interpretation into their arguments…
Washington Gun Law gives analysis commentary.

US District Court judge Glenn Suddaby finds that NY ban on guns in public housing violates the 2nd Amendment. [More]
That’s all fine and good, but I still want to know why forcing me to pay for someone else’s living costs don’t violate the 13th Amendment…
I wonder what the text, history, and tradition at the time of ratification would have to say about that…

UPDATE
Allies Through Action
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses all the Amicus Briefs filed in Cargill v. Garland, a challenge to ATF’s bump stock ban. This case involves a lot more than just bump stocks, rather it is a challenge to ATF’s entire playbook. Now is the time for the Amicus to fly in and today we noticed a new player in the game, Palmetto State Armory. They, along with the Firearms Regulatory and Accountability Coalition have filed an outstanding brief in support of Garland, but this marks the first time since we had this channel that a major firearms manufacturer has thrown in on something like this. So today we give them an “Atta-Boy” so that you can arm yourself with education. [Watch]

Families sue Kentucky gun shop that sold AR-15 used in 2023 bank shooting that killed 5 [More]
How dare River City Fireams clerks not have magic mental powers to know that Democrat gun prohibitionists are violent lunatics waiting to happen?
Natural sympathy for the families does not give them a right to infringe on ours, and when they try, they need to be repelled just like any aggressor with delusional motives.
I wonder how ambulance chaser Tad Thomas and the partners over at Romanucci & Blandin look in halter tops and faux leopardskin hotpants as they solicit motorists…
And I wonder if their Everytown johns are ever going to be slapped with a nuisance lawsuit and court sanctions for continually ignoring PLCAA…

Baldwin Indictment is Karma for Gun Prohibitionist Who Made a Point of Being Obnoxious About It
With a history of personal nastiness combined with repeated demands to lay claim to the rights of his countrymen, it’s natural that the targets of Baldwin’s obsession would see the humor in his becoming victim of his own hubris. [More]
