VanDerStok v. Garland Challenge to ATF’s ‘Frame or Receiver’ Rule Update

Because the parties contest the utility of a completed classification request, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion and CLARIFIES that the current injunction precludes Defendants from concluding its classification determination with respect to Tactical’s product. [More]

My legally unqualified two cents: This is a hopeful development and it has the potential, in the end, to stop a lot of the Constitutionally-unauthorized tyrannical rule nonsense in its tracks, but it only applies to this limited case and there’s still a long way to go.

Old Enough to Serve

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in West Virginia, challenging the federal prohibition on handgun sales to young adults ages 18-20, and is asking for a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. [More]

I’ve made my views known…

UPDATE

And here’s another SAF legal action:

SAF SUES CALIFORNIA OVER LAW SUPPRESSING GUN LAWSUITS

Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment respect the First?

GOA and GOF Legal Updates

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a preliminary injunction yesterday against a Winchester, VA ordinance that prohibits the possession, carry, or transportation of firearms at public parks and in public areas where approved demonstrations are occurring. [More]

You take a look at the history of the place and you’ve just gotta shake your head at what those who live there now have done to it.

UPDATE

Also in this post:

Philadelphia, PA – Yesterday, lame-duck Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order prohibiting individuals from lawful carry at all City of Philadelphia recreational facilities. The mayor’s actions are in clear violation of Pennsylvania law prohibiting these types of local gun restrictions. Within hours of Mayor Kenney’s signing ceremony, Gun Owners of America (GOA) filed a lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of this illegal gun regulation.

Who Will Judge the Judge

The feds are moving to drop the charges in the case against Newton Judge Shelley Joseph, saying they’ve reached an agreement with the judge accused of letting an illegal immigrant out the back door to avoid ICE … Joseph has been suspended while still now being paid $207,855 a year.  [More]

Who says crime doesn’t pay? And well, if you’re in the Big Club?

Case-Sensitive

D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine says in a new court filing that Metro is too sensitive a place to allow regular commuters to carry handguns, because trains and buses carry large numbers of federal workers and also D.C. school children on a daily basis. [More]

Karl must drive to work.

What’s “a historical understanding” say about this?

Falsification of Evidence?

“I can speak from personal, direct, first-hand knowledge that this is a 2-hour, 20-minute recording of people watching TV,” Moseley told The Epoch Times in a statement on Sept. 18. “This is NOT Oath Keepers at the Capitol.” [More]

I keep having this feeling that the Oath Keepers who hold out are going to be the ones who walk.

Who Will Prosecute the Prosecutors?

One finds a federal lawyer trying to use his position to avoid a drunk driving charge; another finds a government attorney getting drunk and physically belligerent at a meeting with foreign officials; the third, and most disturbing, finds an assistant U.S. attorney exposing his genitals “in a public place,” and sexually assaulting a “civilian” on a date. Who were these federal prosecutors? The summary reports don’t say. [More]

Based on expectations set by their “leadership,” that whole department sounds like a case study for sadists and moral defectives.

Another Write-up

Judge shuts down gun rights activist’s attempt to shed light on Hunter Biden’s alleged gun crimes [More]

Unlike most of the other reports, I appreciate the links and the recognition in this one. There’s still nothing about it, of course, in the “Lies of Omission” major media.

Not to tease, but there’s still a chance this might not be over that I can’t give details on yet.

Republicans haven’t had much luck, either, but my suspicion is their move was more pre-midterms motivated. You’ll forgive me if I don’t have a lot of confidence in a GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee doing much more than making self-serving noise.

Still, it tells us all we need to know about the Democrats.

Collusion by Any Other Name

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, along with Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and a coalition of 22 other states, is alerting the Chief Executive Officers of three major credit card companies that the recent creation of a Merchant Category Code for the processing of firearms purchases from gun stores is potentially a violation of consumer protection and antitrust laws. [More]

You fellas are going to have to do more than alert them.

At Least They Spelled My Name Right*

U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras, a President Barack Obama appointee, ruled Tuesday against plaintiff David Codrea’s request to have federal records regarding Hunter Biden’s 2018 gun purchase released. [More]

Seeing as how I broke this development, was the first to point out the 4473 implications, and the only one to notice the laptop video involved a second gun, would it have killed you guys to give me a link?

In any case, the majors aren’t touching this. Neither are the grabbers.

UPDATE

The Google alert…

Most of the entries are copied off the Politico piece.

Aside from most avoiding a link to the original report, the other thing they have in common is none of them are big outfits, which would just as soon nobody talk about this.

‘Activist Investor Lawfare’?

KE Arms Sued: What GWACS Armory Doesn’t Want You To Know — A Lawyer Explains [Watch]

As I indicated earlier, I don’t know anything about this and won’t have time to learn. There’s only one of me and the plate is overflowing with other priorities and commitments already. Full disclosure: I didn’t even have time to watch this 19-minute video in its entirety, either.

I post this as an information resource for those of you who do have an interest in this matter. If you have intel to add, from either side, please feel free to leave relevant comments.
