Stay Tuned

Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion for a stay pending appeal is GRANTED and … Appellees’ motion to expedite the resolution of the matter is GRANTED. [More]

So the infringements will continue but we’ll hurry up about making a decision?

Here’s the original Antonyuk v. Hochul complaint for those unfamiliar with the case. Just to give you an idea of how full of sh… uh… beans the other side is, check out this bit of lying, hoplophobic hysteria from Brady president Kris Brown:

New Yorkers, like all Americans, do not want their supermarkets, public squares, and child care centers turned into bullet-riddled crime scenes.

Where haven’t lawful concealed carriers done that?

Showing a Little Restraint

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in state court, preventing the entire new Oregon gun control law from being enforced. Signed by Judge Robert S. Raschio, the order bars the state from implementing any portion of the law until a hearing is held on a request for a preliminary injunction next Tuesday. [More]

I guess it all depends on the judge…

UPDATE

Oregon Firearms Federation weighs in.

Motion Denied

This email from Oregon Firearms Federation just came across the transom. Since it is not yet posted to the “Alerts” page I am pasting it here in its entirety:

Early this morning we were notified that Judge Karin Immergut has denied our motion to delay the implementation of Ballot Measure 114.

She did agree with the state’s request to delay the permitting process for 30 days. A process the state assured the court will be ready by Thursday.

That will provide no protection for anyone who currently owns a standard capacity magazine or anyone who owns a common shotgun which will now be contraband.

It also does nothing for anyone waiting to take possession of a firearm they paid for but have not received, if that gun comes with a standard magazine.

Furthermore, come Thursday even security guards and off duty police will be breaking the law if they are in possession of a standard magazine.

This is a lengthy (and obviously disappointing) decision and we will have more information soon. But for now, unless something really unexpected happens, understand that your rights will be, once again, seriously eroded starting Thursday.

MAJOR 2A CALIFORNIA COURT VICTORY: Critical Win for Gun Rights Supporters TODAY [Watch]

California’s tyrannical attempt to stifle peaceful revolution by economically coercing against petitioning government for redress of grievances gets set back by Judge Benitez.

I didn’t find announcements on SAF, FPC, and Ninth Circuit websites yet, and nothing yet on a news search, so Mark W. Smith has the scoop.

Rob Bonta really is evil.

A Legal Technicality

A California clerk was fatally shot by a robbery suspect, authorities say. The suspect won’t be charged with murder. The suspect was fleeing the robbery at the Antioch gas station when the clerk chased him and opened fire. Then the suspect returned fire, which experts say could be argued as self-defense. [More]

You just can’t claim the same with state enforcers.

Here I thought that if anyone died during the commission of a crime all the perps involved could be charged. Crime scene getaway isn’t a crime in CA?

Who wants to bet Jackson was carrying “illegally” and has a rap sheet?

And all that said, yeah, you’re not allowed to go after criminals. You have to let them go to where they can kill somebody else.

As the Story Changes

A month later, the Secret Service flipped again, telling the Washington, D.C., district court on Nov. 10 that they located over 100 records totaling over 400 pages that could be responsive to Judicial Watch’s FOIA request. [More]

So the affidavit they signed for me under penalty of perjury so that I would dismiss my complaint was a lie?

I’m looking into what the options are now.

A Right Delayed

Redwood City approves temporary ordinance prohibiting gun shops [More]

“Temporary” as it can go on for two years and then they’ll enact another one.

So the majority can deny rights to minorities– just like the “good old days”?

What did Dr. King say about “justice delayed”?

Show me the prospective store owner with the resources to fight it. There are “historical understanding” grounds, you know:

This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.

But a prospective gun store owner can’t afford to stage an extended challenge. How about it, FPC and/or CRPA?

A Predetermined Outcome

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was convicted Tuesday of seditious conspiracy for a violent plot to overturn President Joe Biden’s election, handing the Justice Department a major victory in its massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. [More]

You know the questions I haven’t seen answered?

What order did he give to attack the Capitol? When did he give it? Who did he issue the order to?

Attorneys vow to appeal. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that would go to these judges. Noting who appointed most of them does not fill me with optimism, and all the Supreme Court would have to do to let a verdict stand is…nothing.

Leftist propagandist Raw Sory is quoting Constitutional joke Jamie Raskin to say Trump will pardon Rhodes and the other defendants. At this point and without what the conviction lacked, that is, specific substantiation, that seems more like a political tactic to influence the next presidential election.

Columbus Prepares to Pass Gun Control Laws

Columbus leaders are making the argument that despite Ohio’s preemption law and despite a judge’s “stay” order in their lawsuit against the state, they have the right to pass certain gun control laws. [More]

It’s not like it’s their money they’re spending. The same can’t be said for anyone opposing them, and that’s part of the plan.

A Rhetorical Question

White supremacist rhetoric online, including the promotion of racist conspiracy theories, has been linked to Gendron and his motive behind the Buffalo attack… [More]

The goal here is not just to disarm the citizenry– it is to reduce allowed speech to that which won’t trigger the lowest common denominator sociopaths, meaning to eliminate any but approved speech. It’s the same crap the Bloombergians are pulling on Daniel Defense.

I don’t suppose it’s in anyone in power’s interests to focus instead on those who can’t be trusted with words…?

Psychological Lawfare

The federal lawsuit was filed Monday by Everytown Law on behalf of Sandra Torres, the mother of Eliahna Torres, who was fatally shot on May 24 at Robb Elementary along with 18 other children and two teachers. The lawsuit also includes the gun store that transferred the rifle to the shooter as well as police officers and agencies that were on site that day. [More]

Why would those who get away with eviscerating the Second Amendment with impunity give a damn about the First?

There’s no one’s grief these evil, blood-dancing bastards won’t exploit.

Doesn’t Everytown filing this when they know PLCAA is in play constitute a frivolous action designed to extort a settlement for which they could be countersued? It almost seems like a form of insurrection…

Because Everyone Knows Correlation Equals Causation!

Maybanks and Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness agreed that the increases in gun charges are attributed to gun law changes — such as that carry permits are no longer required in Iowa. Maybanks acknowledged that individuals have a constitutional right to carry a firearm, but if they have been convicted of a felony or use the gun illegally, they have no such right. [More]

So leaving aside the obvious for a moment, how does permitless carry change any of that?

Oh, it doesn’t?

Then why would Janet say that?

Great job there just parroting and not questioning that, “authorized journalist” Trish Mehaffey!

Unsuppressing Suppressors

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request that judgment be entered in their favor and against Defendants as follows: 1. An order preliminarily and permanently enjoining Defendants, their officers, agents, servants, employees, and all persons in active concert or participation with them who receive actual notice of the injunction, from enforcing 720 ILCS 5/24-1(a)(6) and any other applicable law which prohibits Plaintiffs from owning and banning the acquisition, possession, carrying or use of suppressors; 2.

Who’s Really Being Raped Here?

“Trump’s false, insulting, and defamatory October 12 statement about Carroll—and his actual malice in making that statement—is fully consistent with his tried-and-true playbook for responding to credible public reports that he sexually assaulted women,” the lawsuit said. [More]

So you don’t need to prove someone actually committed the crime he’s being accused of anymore?

And remember: Believe women!
