International Tribunal Lawsuit an Unconstitutional Attempt to Subvert Second Amendment
The same goes for the OAS and its Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, both of which have no authority, legal, moral, or otherwise, to impose their diktats and override “the supreme Law of the Land.” [More]
Our sympathy does not give sufferers leave to lay claim to our rights. And defund the OAS.
Point of Origin
Illinois Assault Weapons Ban Faces New Challenge… The petition argues that Justices Elizabeth Rochford and Mary Kay O’Brien participated in the case despite receiving campaign contributions from those who support the ban. [More]
Now I want you to remember who did the original work that made this possible:
[T]he research and publicity this article has caused has led to a petition with the US Supreme Court on Caperton V Massey grounds, which was first brought up in this piece.
Take it from someone who knows what it’s like to be “bigfooted” out of a story by the media and latecomers.
I’ll probably put something together over the weekend to give this wider exposure. In the meantime, if you see any YouTube gun influencers who don’t give credit to Mom-At-Arms, notify viewers in their video comments.
‘Suggests’?
The report suggests a double standard of justice. While there will reportedly be no consequences for Biden, Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted former President Donald Trump in June for mishandling classified documents. [More]

Where Credit is Due
The Supreme Court Should Not Let Bureaucrats Invent Crimes by Rewriting the Law – The Trump administration’s unilateral ban on bump stocks turned owners of those rifle accessories into felons. [More]
Let’s not forget the role Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox played in paving the way (and good luck finding their joint statement on the NRA website anymore).
Pointing all that out and more seems to make some people uncomfortable. One angry reader canceled his subscription over it.
You know the type.

No Fool Like an Old Fool
Federal judge upholds Colorado’s waiting period for firearm purchases [More]
So this Carter holdover dismissed Clayton Cramer’s fact-based analysis as “ad hominem” and went with the career prohibitionist, and said we need rights delayed because there might be drunks and it took time to manufacture guns back then…? What about if the gun was ready for sale?
What a subversive old fool.

So Much for ‘Well Regulated’
Shooting range argues Second Amendment includes protections for its business [More]
So the “commonsense gun safety” cult thinks it’s better if gun owners don’t train.
And the “Reagan judge” shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Let’s see, unlimited resources of the state vs. an average citizen’s life savings…
Seems like a fair fight…
That Should Have Been the End of It
Watkins… testified that she … never heard any commands for her and other Oath Keepers to enter the building on Jan. 6, 2021… Rhodes … told jurors that there was never a plan to attack the Capitol. He testified that he was surprised and upset when he learned that some group members had joined a pro-Trump mob in storming the building… [More]
It’s Not Like She Raised Her Hand or Anything
Unauthorized Means Unlawful
The US Department of Justice made a major concession involving whether licensing officials working for executive agencies may exercise “discretion” over CCW permits. [Watch]
That is big.
And using that rationale, I’d argue they can’t exercise executive “discretion” in “rulemaking” not backed by legislation, either.
Or in creating new classifications of “prohibited persons.”

A New York State of Mind
New York man who saved woman from subway mugging by scaring off would-be robber with warning shot arrested [More]
The only question here is who’s the more execrable tyrant functionary: Richard “We don’t tolerate this kind of conduct in NYC Transit, period” Davies or Jerry “The defendant was on the street with a loaded, unlicensed gun“ Iannece?
The state can’t protect you and will punish you for protecting yourself or others.
Who would consent to be governed by that?

A Mixed Blessing
Indiana Supreme Court Rules Property Owners in Civil Forfeiture Cases are Entitled to a Jury Trial [More]
Better than nothin’, I suppose…
The Catch-22 being, if they have property they won’t qualify for a public defender and will be forced to risk complete ruin trying to recover what was stolen… Meanwhile, the thieves get all legal expenses paid “courtesy” of unlimited hostage plunder.
I still want me one of them Leathermans…

We’re the Only Ones Restrained Enough
Trouble Ahead?
The Supreme Court appears inclined to uphold a federal law banning guns from those subject to domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs), in the first major test of the Second Amendment at the high court this term. [More]
Looks like some of the pundits assuring us Bruen was a magic bullet may have some ‘splainin’ to do…
The question now is which of the “justices” will show the beliefs no one dared ask them about during confirmations…
