Hitting the Jackpot

The city of Philadelphia has agreed to pay the staggering sum of $9.25 million to about 200 rioters because they were teargassed and struck with rubber bullets. [More]

>$46K each ain’t a bad payday.

So can we expect reparations for the J6 protestors, too?

“Commissioner Outlaw” is what’s known as an aptronym.

The Danger List

“Californians have the constitutional right to acquire and use state-of-the-art handguns to protect themselves,” he wrote. “They should not be forced to settle for decade-old models of handguns to ensure that they remain safe inside or outside the home.” [More]

But Rob Bonta says it’s still going to be enforced for two weeks until the injunction goes into effect.

You gotta wonder at what point these tyrants can be shown to be premeditatedly abusing the powers of their offices to discriminate against citizens’ rights and be held criminally accountable.

A New York State of Mind

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City heard an argument in 5 Second Amendment/gun rights cases. The three judge panel heard arguments for over 2 hours before recessing. Mark Smith breaks down where he thinks the Second Circuit is going based on the composition of this panel and the questions asked during the argument. [Watch]

The old farts will act like ones and these will need to be kicked up the ladder.

Tyrants Gonna Tyrannize

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling that struck down a federal law preventing people under domestic violence-related restraining orders from having guns. [More]

Because how better “to secure the Blessings of Liberty” than to deny rights to people who haven’t even been charged with anything, let alone convicted?

When Mini-Tyrants Rage

A coalition of 14 attorneys general condemned payment networks majors including Visa Inc, American Express Co and Mastercard Inc for pausing work on a merchant code to help detect suspicious gun sales in the United States. [More]

That tells me everything I need to know.

Why is Reuters calling state attorneys general “U.S. attorneys general”?

Senators Menendez, Warren urge regulators to support new gun sale code [More]

And that tells me everything I need to know, too.

Damned if You Do, Damned if You Don’t

Once she heard “I will beat your white @$$,” the gun became appropriate, and in fact, ensured no threatened violence was carried out. [More]

As for there would have been different penalties had roles been reversed, imagine if the threat had been “I will beat your black @SS.”

In both cases, only one set of lives has been ruined.

Future Lawfare Practitioners of America

Five security guards, threats of discipline required to protect free speech talk at DU law school [More]

And just think how many Marxist future attorneys, prosecutors, and judges at all levels are being churned out by the subversion mills.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Angry brainwashed “students” who are ostensibly there to learn presume themselves qualified to lecture.

Al Capp sure had it nailed:

Unequal Protection

Bill would make children’s statements mostly inadmissible if law enforcement lied to them [More]

They can do it to the rest of us, but a homicidal “teen” gang reptile or a budding school shooter is immune? That’s what it’s about, and they’ve found no shortage of Republicans to make it “bipartisan.”

Maybe there’s a loophole we could argue to get the same benefits.

An Age-Old Question

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging the prohibition of handgun sales to young adults have filed an appellant’s brief with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The case is known as Reese v. ATF. [More]

I dunno… let ’em have guns and pretty soon they could be winning medals

Lawsuits and Legislation

The lawsuits against Mz 114 continue to wind their way through the courts. And, to no one’s surprise the legal bills keep rolling in. [More]

More than one judge has shown hostility and costs are mounting.

Related UPDATE

On March 28th at 3pm, the Senate Education Committee is scheduled to hold a “work session” on SB 551. This bill requires that schools “provide specified information related to secure storage of firearms.” [More]

The attacks from all directions never stop. So neither can we.

Speaking of Seditious Conspiracies…

Thread: FBI agent lied under oath yesterday in federal prosecution trial. Admission of FBI fabrication of evidence, following orders to destroy hundreds of items of evidence, deleting exculpatory evidence from FBI’s Lync internal messaging system, and more. Judge excuses jury. [More]

This is how CNN is spinning it, and since they have the much larger audience, they win.

A Good First Step

I have never given up hope that the collector’s item I got so I’d have standing will one day be surrendered back to me by ATF.

I wonder if SCOTUS will forever punt, and what the implications will be for pistol braces, forced reset triggers, and the like.

Apportioning the Blame

Michigan Appeals Court Weighs Charging Parents of School Shooter With Manslaughter [More]

There may not be legal grounds for this, but it sure sounds like there are moral ones. They had the long-term and daily context everyone else did not.

If I’d seen these signs in one of my boys and was too much of an in-denial coward to intervene, Shakespeare’s line about many deaths comes to mind.

That, of course, assumes they’re not sociopaths who can admit no wrongdoing themselves.

The Finest Judges Money Can Buy

Yesterday we explored how Gov. Pritzker of Illinois played fast and loose with campaign finance rules to stack the state Supreme Court he is appealing his “assault weapon” ban legal setback to.

Mom-at-Arms has updated its report to prove a conflict of interest and to cite U.S. Supreme Court precedent:

Bishop On Air says “recuse.” (14:56)

No One Spends Like Gascón

Los Angeles Prosecutor Wins $1.5 Million in Retaliation Lawsuit Against D.A. George Gascón – The prosecutor union VP said “there were as many as 16 other civil suits pending against the district attorney.” [More]

Don’t worry– the settlement won’t come out of his pocket or George Soros’.

That’s part of the plan.

No Point Passing More Intolerable Acts Until We Prosecute Existing Violations?

No point passing gun control if you don’t prosecute gun crimes. [More]

It depends upon what the meaning of the term “gun crime” is.

And if someone victimizes someone else, the object can’t be to teach them “that human life has value and that they can’t just go around putting people in danger like that.”

It’s to keep them away from people they can victimize until such time as they’ve proven they can be trusted without a custodian.

The Real Conspirators

Illinois judge rules state’s gun ban and registry unconstitutional [More]

That the people have to go to court because the government– where everyone involved swore an oath — is determined to violate the Constitution says much about the treasonous scoundrels in political power.

It also explains why under tyranny, “seditious conspiracy” seems more like a civic duty than a crime.

[Via Dan Gifford]

UPDATE

And Pritzker is appealing to judges who owe their seats to his inherited money.

This is by far the bigger story, meaning don’t look for the DSM to give a damn. Maybe we can at least urge the “gun rights” folks with a longer reach to use it.

Gun Sense Judges

Delaware lowers passing score on bar exam in push for racial diversity: ‘Not supposed to be a barrier’ – Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz Jr. said changes reflect ‘modernization’ of admission process [More]

Hey, if Biden can do it for the Supreme Court, what’s the big deal with his home state doing it for the locals?

Getting 2A Back on Track

Plaintiffs in a case supported financially by the Second Amendment Foundation challenging a concealed carry ban on Illinois Public Transportation have filed a memorandum supporting their earlier motion for summary judgment in the case. [More]

Even if they win, you wouldn’t catch me riding the Chi-Town “L.”

Of course, you wouldn’t find me living in Chicago, either.
