Mexican Standoff

Supreme Court Will Hear Gun Industry Challenge to Mexico’s Lawsuit – “Simply put, Mexico’s suit threatens to undermine American sovereignty and constitutional liberty, and it has no business in this country’s courts.” [More]

I expect our side to win. What I’m most curious of is what the Democrat judges will do, and how they will rationalize their arguments if they side with Mexico.

Between SCOTUS now taking on both this and frames/receivers, how any gun owner can justify not voting and letting Kamala Harris reshape the Court is beyond me.

Better Safe Than Sorry

The Illinois Attorney General’s office has apologized to a federal judge demanding answers after implying his ruling against the state’s mass transit concealed carry ban has “safety implications.” [More]

And that is the difference between a Trump-appointed judge and what Kamala will put on the bench.

True, his won’t all be perfectly consistent. But you can bet hers will be.

Is This the One?

The Supreme Court is back in session as of Monday October 7th and they have a case before them in Snope v. Brown that could end all bans nationwide. This comes from a 4th circuit decision upholding the Maryland ban. [Watch]

There’s a huge difference between “could” and “will.”

Cross your fingers and wish for the best, but don’t invest all your hope.

On with the Show!

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year. [More]

Having personally seen California gun show attendees ignore attempts to preserve RKBA, I have to say their apathy has brought much of their plight upon themselves. The same ones probably haven’t contributed a dime to this case.

A Key Point

Auto Key Card Case Appeal Says by ATF Standards Any AR-15 Could Be Considered a Machinegun [More]

Yeah, that’s the goal.

It’s also why some of us were arguing from the outset if anyone thought the bump stock ban was just about a stupid piece of plastic being a hill not worth dying on (meaning not even lifting a finger and disparaging those who did), they were missing the point.

An Age-Old Question

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard oral argument today in the Reese v. ATF lawsuit involving a federal gun control law preventing young adults from purchasing handguns from FFLs. [Watch]

The ultimate absurdity is young adults being old enough to vote for the government to tell them they’re not old enough to own guns.

A Public/Private Partnership

This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]

Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.

I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

Rapping SAPA

BOMBSHELL Interview: AG Of MO Joins The Channel & VOWS To Take SAPA To SCOTUS IMMEDIATELY! In today’s episode, we have a very special guest, the Attorney General of Missouri Andrew Bailey. He’s going to SCOTUS and no one is going to stop him [Watch]

Did they agree to take the case?

Since 2A is supposed to ultimately be about freedom, I can’t quite make the guy out to be a hero until I see some credible answers on keeping innocent prisoners incarcerated.

Going with What Works

Both the White House and ATF have turned down multiple House Oversight inquiries into charges of ‘collusion’ with Chicago’s lawsuit against Glock [More]

Gee, when have we seen a Democrat administration stonewall House Oversight on gun-related scandals before…?

Bullet Points

Judge shoots down Cabela’s bid to stymie Delaware probe into thousands of rounds of ammo shoplifted from Christiana Mall store – One thief says she stole 500,000 bullets because security was lax. For 18 months, the retailer has fought a state subpoena seeking loss-prevention records. [More]

Not that we can take her word for it, but still…

Coming from a policies and procedures background, this appears all so unnecessary, especially for a corporation with such organizational resources to ensure compliance.

I’ve never shopped in one. Anybody know if Cabela’s records ID information with ammo purchases?

Weapons of Law

Buffalo Tops Friendly Market Shooting Survivors and Family Members Sue Manufacturer of Gun Lock, Gun Store, Manufacturer of Combat-Style Body Armor, Social Media Companies, and Shooter’s Parents [More]

Go with what works, right?

These people understand something “our side,” always playing defense, has yet to embrace.

A Good First Step

Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that Federal District Court Judge Iain D. Johnston has declared the State of Illinois’ ban on carrying firearms on public transportation and in public transportation facilities unconstitutional as applied to the named plaintiffs in the FPC-supported lawsuit Schoenthal v. Raoul. [More]

Good. But don’t overlook “The State is expected to appeal the decision.”

The Games People Play

The Court should not grant certiorari to review at this stage but should permit the ordinary percolation process to continue and reserve its intervention for the point at which, if it comes at all, the courts of appeals are actually divided.” [More]

I understand what they’re doing and why.

It’s not them, it’s a fraudulent power-usurping system that allowed the first infringement to take place and has done nothing since but entrench and assail.
