A challenge against Maryland’s gun ban is likely to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court before gun ban challenges from other states. [More]
Sadly, all the high court has to do to let it stand is nothing.
If they do hear it, it will be a game-changer, but it will still leave the more fundamentally destructive NFA and Hughes Amendment in play.
Then there are the questions of when will they hear such a case, and who will be in power and appointing justices?

Surprising no one, I trust…?
See, there are two different missions here that only occasionally converge when it’s convenient for them. Think Wallace on the field while the Lairds strike their own deals with Longshanks.

Specifically, I’m going to explain how the legal theories they are advancing before the United States Supreme Court in the VanDerStok case dealing with quote unquote ghost guns, which are unserialized firearms and gun gun parts. how theATF’s position with the Biden/Harris Administrations arguments are exactly that they’re setting the precedent for declaring that AR-15s are machine guns and can be banned because they cannot be added to the NFA register… [Watch]
Exactly what some of us have been arguing the bump stock ban opened the door for, which makes it curious that he’s one of the ones arguing — without contemporaneous documentation — that Trump’s ban was a brilliant 3D chess move.

A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts again dismissed a $10 billion Mexican government lawsuit against six U.S. gun manufacturers on Wednesday. [More]
Did I miss a story about the companies countersuing, or is that somehow not legally or economically advisable? Why?
If the companies won’t do it, would a stockholder have standing?
Anybody hear a plan on if Trump wins what he will do to put a stop to this?
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation filed a federal lawsuit in South Florida, challenging the state’s ban on open carry of firearms. [More]
Look at the name at the end of the complaint.
[T]he Court will permanently enjoin Maryland’s laws restricting the carrying of firearms in locations selling alcohol for onsite consumption, private buildings without the owner’s consent, and within 1,000 feet of a public demonstration. State Defendants’ Cross Motions for Summary Judgment will be granted as to the Kipke Plaintiffs’ Fourteenth Amendment claims, as well as the claims regarding: State Parks; mass transit facilities; schools and school grounds; museums; stadiums; healthcare facilities; government buildings; amusement parks; racetracks; and casinos… [More]
You can be trusted with your rights on this side of the line. On the other side, everything changes. Don’t ask us how or why, just accept that fact that if you disobey we may end up killing you.

NAGR wins lawsuit against ATF trigger ban … The ATF may appeal this ruling, but precedent and momentum are both on our side, and we fully anticipate the absolute end of the ATF’s unlawful, unconstitutional ban on forced reset triggers. [More]
They’ll appeal because they have unlimited tax plunder to do it with and dragging things out and making plaintiffs spend their hard-won funds is part of the game.
NAGR is doing a good job of late, especially at refuting an old image.

Why this is even an issue is a testament to the success of the subversives.

“Imagine your surprise if you are just minding your own business, wherever you are, Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and all of a sudden, your local constable is, like, “Guess what sucker, California says you’re not allowed to have any guns anymore, give them up.” [Watch]
Gun laws don’t work both ways, so your permit and lawful ownership won’t be recognized there.

Any bets the one vote against “diverse”?
“California effectively seeks the power to destroy the exercise of a constitutional right by singling it out for special taxation,” the lawsuit alleges. “If this tax is permitted, there is nothing stopping California from imposing a 50% or even 100% tax on a constitutional right it disfavors whether it be the right to keep and bear arms, the right to free exercise of religion, or any other right.” [More]
Just like if one gun a month is good, one gun a year is better!
