The Twin Crusades Against Drugs and Guns – The war on drugs conspires with the war on guns to make a mockery of justice. [More]

If the Republicans ever win it all back, this calls for some serious financial retaliation.
Not that I’d expect it.

Prosecutors had asked for 7 years. No doubt they would have gotten it, were Paige a normal person. But since he goes around in women’s clothes, it would be transphobic to hold him accountable for his criminal behavior. [More]
Do you actually have to cut it off to get the pass or is just saying you self-identify enough?
Asking for a friend…

“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…

California law seeking to deter legal challenges to gun laws in that state is now under major legal threat. The pro 2A groups suing over the anti civil-rights law were just given the great news that federal district Court Judge District Roger Benitez has been assigned the case. [Watch]
NOW how many years…?

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.

I had an understanding that there was a requirement that the law needed to be written so that an ordinary citizen could understand it. How else can you require an ordinary citizen to comply with a law? [More]
Who says the rulers want us to?
And as for the “requirements,” they’re going to have an awfully tough time when reading comprehension has been deliberately degraded in the public schools.

CERTIORARI DENIED
21-159 APOSHIAN, W. C. V. GARLAND, ATT’Y GEN., ET AL. [More]
All the Supreme Court has to do to let tyranny stand is…nothing.
I’m wondering if anyone will revisit this in light of Bruen, but then again, the court has pretty much told us they’re not going to touch it.
Some of us will keep fighting in other ways.

I don’t know if all of you can even watch this if you’re not on Facebook — or if you have a half hour to spend on it even if you can — but I found this instructive from several points of view, starting with the “Only One’s” bullying arrogance and with the way the family, through their words and behaviors, all but guaranteed the outcome.
Don’t talk to the police. Had that simple rule been followed there would have been no “evidence” except unprovable allegations by a party with an axe to grind.
