After considering the arguments presented here, I find that Section 922(g)(1) is constitutional, but I find that Section 922(k) is not. [More]
That would be this:
I wonder how long this will be allowed to stand.

CNN Sounds Alarm: SCOTUS May Wipe Out Gun Control ‘Nationwide’ [More]
Only if we think of Bruen as “a good first step” and realize that we can’t take it for granted that the courts are going to save us… especially noting how Democrat strongholds, with guns to back their moves up, are deliberately thumbing their noses as they pile on new infringements.

Let the Tyranny Continue!
New York’s new gun law will remain in effect for now after a federal appeals court on Wednesday agreed to temporarily reverse a lower court’s order blocking the law’s central provisions while a legal challenge by a gun-owners’ rights group proceeds. [More]
The city knows it’s breaking the law. The court knows it’s breaking the law.
Funny, how the only people that can go to jail are the ones breaking an illegal law…

It can’t have anything to do with environmentalcase forestry practices, can it? And ultimately, assuming it’s lightning and not an illegal alien or a government worker with a hero complex sparking things off, isn’t Mother Earth herself to blame?

So Much for ‘Let the Punishment Fit the Crime’
Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly $1 billion to families of Sandy Hook massacre victims [More]
I’ve never particularly been a Jones enthusiast– I know Mike didn’t much care for him but I was on his program once and was happy for the opportunity. That said, what you or I think of the guy is irrelevant to this, the most absurdly disproportionate, dangerous, and un-American verdict order I have ever heard of. That it would be countenanced in a U.S. court shows how serious the power structure is to shut down forbidden speech.
How many of Jones’ “millions” of followers committed an illegal act? How many “threats” were actually sentiments? How many transitioned into actual meatspace attacks?
And as long as I dragged Mike’s name into this, he knew what it was like to be blamed for the actions of others.
Who does the Jones verdict and sentence chill and discourage? Who is turning cartwheels?
Time was the left at least pretended to be all about free speech. That’s for the benefit of the useful idiots and to accelerate social degradation — until there’s the confidence that masks can be dropped, as just happened with this order.

Mass-murder defendant tells court he doesn’t identify as himself – ‘Nor do I know anybody by that name’ [More]
It makes as much sense as anything else that denies reality. More, when you consider that in this case, it’s apparently confined to one lunatic, at least for now…

New Development in Biden Gun Case May Open Complaint for Reconsideration
At the time of the ruling, attorney Stephen Stamboulieh advised that no appeal would be filed due to time, expense, and the unlikelihood of it succeeding. This could change that. A motion for reconsideration may now be feasible since Biden’s attorney Clark publicly acknowledged the investigation. [More]
With his lawyer publicly acknowledging an investigation, ATF’s “Hunter Biden privacy” claim at this point is demonstrably BS.

Gun Violence Expert Speaks Out
“Why didn’t [Gutierrez Reed] check that bullet? Why didn’t Halls obey her?” Baldwin asked. “Why did he give me the gun? Why didn’t he check? Why did he tell the crew [it was a cold gun]? … I’m pretty confident neither one of them should ever work in a film set again,” he said, adding, “I sincerely believe … [investigators are] going to say that this was an accident. It’s tragic.” [More]
It was everybody else’s fault but the guy who shot a woman to death.
Nice to see Frances Fisher making excuses for him and blaming us…

3D Chess by SCOTUS on Bump Stocks?
Is the object to wait for a better case to strip much of the unrestrained rulemaking power away from all federal agencies? [Watch]
Attorney Mark W. Smith speculates on what sounds like a plausible legal scenario and setup, and says don’t abandon all hope on bump stocks. I hope he’s right.
I’ve just heard too many 3D chess claims before.
