A Waiting Game

“New York has once again adopted a law we believe is unconstitutional, and we’re confident the federal court will bring an end to this nonsense. It’s time for lawmakers in Albany to stop trying to outsmart the U.S. Supreme Court.” [More]

I think what they’re doing is much more insidious than that.

They have tax cows they can milk for legal war chest funds, all the while depleting their victims’ resources to fight back. And they’re counting on extending things in the courts long enough for the Republicans to blow it yet again, so the Democrats can stack the court and reverse Bruen.

Biased Ruling Supporting Semiauto Ban Enabled by Sham Confirmations

Who but someone willfully deluding herself, a liar, or both, would deliberately ignore that the militia is comprised of citizens “capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time”? Its function was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. And these citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The militia did not assemble on the green bearing torches and pitchforks. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. [More]

And worst of all, this robed … thing … was confirmed by a Republican majority Senate.

A Confession or a Boast?

NY 2A Defendant Admits to US Federal Appeals Court that New Gun Law Violates 2A [More]

And he didn’t fall on his knees and beg forgiveness?

UPDATE

I just got the related alert from SAF. It’s not on their News page at this posting, so I copied and pasted the email on my Placeholder site.

Seems the DA didn’t want to be left hanging on defending the indefensible.

Reluctant My… Eye

Old Racist Gun Laws Enter Modern-Day Legal Battles – Government lawyers reluctantly cite historical laws that kept guns from Blacks, Native Americans and Catholics [More]

The only reluctance is in being exposed for what they are. That and admitting that over the citizens they really want to disarm, the Founders intended for them to be powerless to infringe.

It’s Not Like the Bill of Rights was Meant for the People…

The ruling is major for many reasons, including that the government tried to claim that charter boat fishing is a “closely-regulated industry” to which the Fourth Amendment does not apply. [More]

Ah, the Scarborough Doctrine of authorized free speech exercisers…

And don’t forget Hogg’s Resurrected Postulate…

In Defense of Harvey Weinstein

Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 16 years, effectively ensuring the former Hollywood mogul and convicted rapist will spend the rest of his life behind bars. [More]

Speaking of wishing he wasn’t alive…

As much as my inner Nelson Muntz wants to point and laugh, there’s a bigger issue here that threatens all– an unproven allegation from an unnamed witness should not be enough to do this to anyone.

Show trials are the stuff of tyranny.

Besides, it’s not like plenty of famous “stars” much of America takes its political cues from didn’t get their willing start on the Hollywood casting couch, and like that hasn’t been a tradition.

My guess is if you took a look at “Jane Doe #1,” you’d find plenty of notches on that crotch.

First You Cry

A man who was shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse during the Kenosha riots in 2020 has filed a lawsuit against Rittenhouse and Wisconsin police and officials, Fox News Digital has learned. Gaige Grosskreutz, who testified he pointed a firearm at Rittenhouse before the then-teenager shot Grosskreutz and two others, is seeking economic losses, “damages for emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and other pain and suffering on all claims,” and punitive damages. [More]

Pro tip: If you don’t want to be emotionally distressed, humiliated, lose the enjoyment of life, and suffer pain at the hands of another, try not pointing a gun at him.

Forced to Cover Old Ground

The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in the case of Miller v. Bonta, challenging California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” have filed a responding brief in the case, countering defense arguments and strategies already rejected by federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. [More]

California knows that, of course. Anything to impede.

PODCAST: The Media and Gun Control Activists Struggle to Exploit MSU Murders [More]

I chatted with BFA Executive Director Dean Rieck about my AmmoLand observations and more.

Also from Buckeye Firearms:

Lawsuit filed against Columbus over unlawful, unconstitutional gun laws [More]

Subversive Democrats know they have virtually unlimited tax funds to harass us with, meaning productive gun owners have to fully finance complaints and appeals, and partially finance the bastards attacking us.

Lies, Damned Lies, and…

Gun violence in US and what the statistics tell us [More]

I think they mean what selectively presented statistics tell us. For instance, you’d think in any honest analysis of the issue, stuff like who’s doing the violence and where it’s being done would be a foremost concern, instead of, you know, being deliberately omitted.

There are plenty of false conclusions being implied, as well. Case in point, it looks like “gun rights” groups outspend the prohibitionists, and some “gun pundits” are considering that as proof that “we” are winning.

That ignores grassroots vs. Astroturf, and leaves the most important consideration unsaid: The grabbers don’t have to spend as much. The government, with virtually unlimited tax plunder, is carrying the lion’s share of the legal costs, and the media provides all the free publicity they want while ignoring or deliberately suppressing the truth, as evidenced by the second link, above.

Radical Oregon Ruling Declares Defense of Second Amendment Racist and Antisemitic

“Intervenors came before this court and referenced UN mandates, which … is a well-documented trope meant to invoke white supremacist, antisemitic fear of a takeover of our country by outsiders and minorities who are manipulated by an elite class of supervillains,” Egan wrote. The Columbia County ordinance (and by implication, all Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions throughout the Republic) has “antisemitic and racist origins,” he declares. [More]

With judges adopting Antifa’s rhetoric, can communist “people’s courts” for counterrevolutionaries be far off?

Location, Location, Location

A recent back-and-forth crime spree involved three St. Louis County teens reportedly stealing cars, which culminated in a shooting. The trio was arrested in on the eastern side of the river, where they were not going to be prosecuted. So, police brought the teens to the other side to get charges filed. [More]

And why weren’t they going to be prosecuted there?

That’s a rhetorical question.

Welcome to the Party, Pals

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen and 23 other states filed a lawsuit against an egregious and overreaching Biden administration gun control regulation that will turn millions of gun owners into felons if they do not register certain devices they lawfully own with the federal government and pay a tax. [More]

They join FPC, SAF, GOA, NRA and… is anybody keeping track of all the lawsuits on this at one go-to link?

UPDATE

Ask and ye shall receive.

Desensitizing

The specific additional “sensitive places” designations that are challenged in the amended lawsuit include parks, beaches, recreational facilities or playgrounds or areas owned or controlled by a state, county or local government unit, plus youth sports events, an airport or public transportation hub, and various health care facilities. These areas were designated “sensitive” because the New Jersey Legislature was determined to “continue minimizing the carry of handguns as much as possible,” the lawsuit notes. [More]

Honestly, who ever heard of anyone being attacked in any of those places?

Justice Jill

…Justice Jill Copeland said she was required to consider the social context of anti-Black racism and as a result, gave the young Black first offender a conditional sentence of two years less a day rather than sending him to prison. [More]

The people who indignantly posture as “anti-racists” are laughed at as fools by those they virtue signal for.
