Notes from the Resistance
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a reply brief with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in its challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regarding arm braces for pistols. [More]
In truth, we have an absolute right to keep and bear short-barreled rifles as well, and the damn tyrants denying them to us know it.
“If you take ‘the people’ at the founding of the country, that means only white property owners have the right to bear arms,” McHugh said. In that case, McHugh pointed out, neither she nor Stevenson would be allowed to bear arms today. [More]
“Allowed…”?
Ah, the old “rights are granted” fraud. That this ignoranus is sitting on a federal bench is an obscene travesty.
And no one challenged her to show where in the Consitution it said the government was delegated the authority to disarm any free person?

Hawaii tourist dies on Maui beach, and wife alleges state failed to warn her about snorkeling danger – Patti Johnson believes her husband’s snorkeling death off the coast of Maui could have been prevented had he known about a little-known danger [More]
Because we all know whose responsibility it is to make sure you know what you’re doing.
And why stop there? I’ll bet there was no warning or safety indicator on the snorkel, and those gear manufacturers and dealers have deep pockets.
llegal protests on university campuses have already triggered a number of legal actions, but so far the lawsuits likely to be most successful, and most effective at strongly discouraging similar criminal activity in the future – class actions brought by as few as one student or faculty member – seem to be overlooked, says a class action expert. [More]
Hoist them with their own petard.
And this may be viscerally satisfying, but I think this guy’s going to regret it.

Man sentenced to 15 to 20.5 years in prison for fatally shooting Akron mother [More]
Why, will he be safe by then?
On Thursday, US District Judge Frank P. Geraci denied a request by gun-rights advocates to block enforcement of a New York law requiring ammunition sales to be handled by a licensed dealer and subject to a background check for the purchaser. He determined that the law fit within the country’s historical tradition of gun regulation… [More]
So bring back the Slave Codes while we’re at it. eh, Obama appointee?
Historical anachronisms like colonists requiring loyalty oaths from Catholics were rendered unconstitutional by the Establishment clause ratified by the Framers…

Supreme Court Review Sought to Challenge Firearm and Magazine Bans Citing Second Amendment [More]
With all the actions being filed, how can SCOTUS continue to leave what we all know the truth to be in legal limbo?
We’ll find our just as sure as we live
Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give.
AMAZING! Judge Lets FBI Agent Off Easy After Stealing NFA Items From Evidence! [Watch]
So the only way people can find out about this is if they watch a specific YouTuber or subscribe to Bearing Arms?
Because the only reports on the Google News feed at this writing are all old, and I even gave it a day before posting this.
Guess it’s not newsworthy…

OffTopic/
David, What’s with the Ohio AG not joining the other States in the lawsuit challenging the new rule against private sales? [More]
I won’t respond there, because a big thing with me is keeping things on topic (see “Comment H0use Rules” in sidebar). That’s why comment threads hijacked away from the conversation I’m inviting, or worse, devolving into childish squabbling, really grind my gears.
But it’s a good question, and Dave Yost hasn’t shied away from those before.
In other words, the plaintiffs know they have nothing of merit, so they’re throwing everything against the wall to see if anything sticks. [More]
In a just world, the case would be thrown out as frivolous, plaintiffs would pay defendant attorney fees and court costs, and the ambulance-chasing “civil rights” lawyer would be fined and threatened with disbarment if he ever pulled this crap again.
