Notes from the Resistance
You can see that Stephen McGlynn is implicitly saying that he totally, totally disagrees with the ruling of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and while he’s not calling those judges morons, he’s basically saying, shall we say, they’re clearly wrong on the law. [Watch]
Nothing to stop the rest of us from calling them what they deserve…

Defendant Attorney General Rob Bonta, and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with him, and those duly sworn state peace officers and federal law enforcement officers who gain knowledge of this injunction order or know of the existence of this injunction order, are enjoined from implementing or enforcing California Penal Code § 22210 as it applies to a billy.

Bastards don’t even want you to have a club…
Now look for the Ninth Cicuit to screw it up.

We have two citizen disarmament cases wending their way through two courts, but they both rely on essentially the same thing: superstition relying on ancient barbaric belief systems that say the people exist to serve rulers rather than the government exists to serve the people. [More]
We are supposed to be beyond rule by kapu, where offenders are severely punished for offending the gods, which judges and politicians increasingly portray themselves to be when they presume to deny unalienable rights.
The confiscation of Taylor’s possessions, including his computers, phone, credit cards, and of course, his self-manufactured guns, marks the beginning of a legal battle that threatens to land him behind bars for up to 18 years. [More]

Ninth Circuit to rehear Hawaii butterfly knife ban… In its en banc petition, the state only briefly touched on historical arms regulations in its pre-territorial days. However, the state Supreme Court recently harkened back to the Kingdom of Hawaii — which historically levied heavy regulations on weapons — while pushing back on the Second Amendment. [More]
We’re talking Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck’s case,
Judge ReTodd Eddins thinks “the spirit of Aloha” is the supreme law of the land there? I know they had history and tradition– did they have text? And does that spirit mean they’re bringing back Kapu?
Mark W. Smith thinks this may backfire.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Wednesday his office has reached a settlement with Polymer80, one of the largest makers of ghost gun kits and parts in the nation, that will prevent the company from advertising and selling its firearms in Maryland. The company will also pay $1.2 million in damages. [More]

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.

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. The department is working with the Commonwealth’s Attorney to find out what the next steps should be. [More]
How about start by firing, naming, and arresting the lying b!+ch?
Any doubts she’s not a Republican? Or not a she?
Any doubts about the E. Jean Carroll/Trump verdict?

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.

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.
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?
“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…?
