Casting a Wider Net
The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear a case that takes aim at federal agencies’ power and the amount of deference courts are required to show to an administration’s decisions. [More]
“What do fish have to with bump stocks and other ‘rules’?” you might ask…

With Experts Like These, Who Needs Amateurs?
Ryan Busse files yet another “expert” report in support of gun control, this time Washington’s magazine ban. [More]
And he comes up with more than one contradiction to defeat his own arguments…
The guy really has gone full turncoat.

Life Imitates Art
By not ruling on it the judge is putting us in limbo, making us choose between going to synagogue and leaving our pistols at home, or carrying a pistol but not going to pray. The law bans carrying a firearms in houses of worship and religious observation. This law is outrageous, and it makes us pick between engaging in religious observation or exercising our second amendment right. [More]
Making Jews choose between one or the other. Where have we seen that before?
The plea for help comes from these guys. And they ask to make checks payable to these guys.
I confess to not being familiar with these folks. In my copious free time, I’ll see what I can find out. In the meantime, if you have relevant knowledge, feel free to educate the rest of us in “Comments.”

Voting with Their Wallets
“Within 15 minutes, we had people coming in,” Krahl told the Tribune on Saturday. “There was a line outside the door before I could open up this morning. There will be no lunch today, because we’ll be going nonstop.” [More]
When voting with your ballots doesn’t work, there’s always Plan B.
And if the tyrants try to exploit that, Plan C.

Barbecue Season is Almost Here!
Who Will Help Plant the Seed?
These cases have national implications. As you know, similar battles are being fought all over the country with varying results. But now, faced with not only our Federal lawsuits but two other lawsuits whose only goal is harassment, we are being crushed financially. [More]
That’s the plan.
Bump That
The latest twist in the ongoing legal saga regarding the legality of bump stocks – used to increase the rate of fire on semiautomatic weapons – is a win for gun owners, after a Sixth Circuit panel unanimously found Tuesday the government cannot enforce a rule that bans the devices. [More]
So I might still get my bump stock back?
The Laws of Probability
Judge Contrarian
In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect. [More]
This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”
“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…
We Have Top Men Working On It Right Now
Who Will Judge the Judge?
IL Supreme Court justice that’s under fire was sued for legal malpractice (and lost the case) [More]
Nice to know our rights are being decided by the very best… Is there anything cleaner than Illinois politics?
If you don’t have Mom-At-Arms bookmarked, you’re missing out on routine unique “finds” that the ‘real reporters” will never tell you about.
Sure as Shooting!
Charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his Western movie “Rust” after “new facts” surfaced in recent days, officials said Thursday. [More]
Thank goodness! Now he can get back to lecturing the rest of us on “commonsense gun safety laws”!
In the absence of evidence showing deliberate misbehavior on the part of the armorer, would it be out of line to wonder how much those “new facts” cost?

Called into Question
On certain firearms being banned over others, McGlynn gave Wells several scenarios. One he gave was of a wife home alone with four intruders… On certain firearms features, like collapsible stocks being banned, McGlynn gave another scenario… [More]
I don’t see how McGlynn can rule against the plaintiffs without showing himself to be cognitively dissonant to the point of being bipolar.
As for Wells, he’s just a damn Judas to his countrymen. All he can spout back are BS platitudes.

The Vichycon Difference!
A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]
Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.
The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.

New Mexico Is the Second State to Ban Qualified Immunity [More]
I’d say it’s about time the anti-gun Democrats did something I agree with, but I’m fearing the devil will be in the details and this will open the door to all kinds of leftist chaos and wealth transfers from the productive…

An Equal and Opposite Reaction
Kyle Rittenhouse announced on Saturday he filed a counter lawsuit against Gaige Grosskreutz for assault and emotional distress, stemming from their interaction when Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in self-defense during the 2020 BLM riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. [More]
He made the leftist punk his B!tch once. No reason he shouldn’t be able to do it again…

‘No, No!’ Said the Queen. ‘Sentence First — Verdict Afterwards.’
But what are due process protections when it comes to the government’s intentional deprivation of a constitutionally protected right, or even a constitutionally protected “property” right, through ex parte proceedings? [More]
Well, we could go with the stare decisis version and defer to past acts of judicial tyranny, or we could go with a historical understanding to be guided by Amendments IV, V, and VI…
That treacherous wretch Bill Lee has established his legacy.
And Now for Something Completely Different
I’ll be leaving this afternoon for the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis. (Those who caution me not to make public announcements of absences, don’t worry. Elder feral son Uday will be coming over and I’m neither chaining him up nor feeding him.) If you’re going I hope to meet you, assuming you don’t want to punch me out. I’ll be bringing a poll with me that I’ll be doing an article about that should take less than a minute to answer, so I hope I can count on your cooperation.
I’ve got a ton of stuff to do today to get ready, including finishing up an article and maybe drafting a new one if I can get to it. The dandelions here are in full bloom so I also need to take a couple of hours for yard work before the neighbors run me out.
As such, news tips emailed to me that I decide to present here are all going to be linked in this post with no commentary and a mass credit at the bottom. With that in mind, please don’t submit any more from this point on until Monday, and understand that I will not be moderating comments received after I leave until I return.
The following list will be added to as long as I can get to it:

- Missouri gets F, Illinois gets A- in annual gun law scorecard

Pot Luck
Another Federal Judge Rejects the DOJ’s Argument That Cannabis Consumers Have No Second Amendment Rights [More]
And then there’s action on the restraining order front…
I’ll bet a lot of “prohibited person” exclusions could be overturned with the right case, starting with the “one year” nonsense that has no bearing on proven proclivities for violence.
We’re the Only Ones Biting Enough
Minnesota argues it is not liable for police dog attack – Sovereign immunity in the case of a car dealership employee bitten by a K-9 may hinge on the question of whether the state can be “the owner” of a dog under Minnesota’s dog-bite statute. [More]
You can tell a lot about character from people who won’t clean up after their dogs.

Among My Many Failings
Do you have any kind of a justification for not exposing the blatant criminality of the legal system? [More]
If I’m reading this right, I’m part of the problem, and this is the only guy doing anything about it.
Still, I wouldn’t mind comparing records.
We’re the Only Ones Hoplophobic Enough
Milwaukee police said they were so afraid of their department-issued handguns randomly firing, they wouldn’t bring them home near their family [More]
I’m not a hardware guy– I do rights. I don’t know enough about it to know if this is just a ploy to put on public pressure or if there really is a design/manufacturing flaw. Like I said back when, if the allegations are true, then it’s not protected. Which is as it should be.
Fascists Attack Hero of Justice and Equity
A St. Louis judge sanctioned St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s office last week for allegedly withholding evidence in a double-murder case, while allowing the suspect out on bond, amid rising criticism about left-wing prosecutors allowing crime to flourish in major U.S. cities. [More]
And you’ll notice the strategy of those who want things to be this way is to deflect with charges of racism and antisemitism so that people will be afraid to speak the truth.

Machine Gun Charges Against Sheriff Recall Earlier Incidents and ‘Only Ones’ Elitism
But whether the top cops are innocent or guilty of charges is beside the real point gun owners should be concerned with. The militarization of police is what opens the door to exclusivity and enables corruption. And you’d better believe the officials and the deputies/officers they command would arrest any of us if they found us non-compliant with a “gun law.” The “Only Ones” hypocrisy reeks. [More]
Nice work if you can get it. The problem is, without a badge, you can’t, and therein lies the crux of police as “Only Ones.”
A Political Prisoner
Jeremy Brown Sentenced to 7 Years and 3 Months in Prison for Refusing to Work as an Undercover Operative for FBI on January 6 and Then Later Releasing Audio of His Meeting with FBI [More]
He was sentenced on weapons convictions. There should be no need to bury that to gin up outrage.

At What Price?
It’s all because Judge McCannon rejected the plea deal Price offered Delonzo Logwood, accused of three murders – one during a carjacking/robbery, a murder for hire, and killing a witness set to testify against his step brother. He faces 75 years to life in prison if convicted. Price offered him 15 years on a single voluntary manslaughter charge. [More]
And guess who’s behind her…
Or does mentioning that make me antisemitic?
