Legal - The War on Guns

Why would Yoran go easy on a black felony murderer while throwing the book at a defendant she refers to as “the white man”? To ask the question is to answer it. Hopefully, she will soon face justice herself. [More]

At least Javert had self-awareness and decency to drown himsel in the Seine…

OK, Now Talk

Thanks to his father’s pardon, Hunter Biden has waived his Fifth Amendment protections.

I look forward to bringing Hunter back in to @JudiciaryGOP—under oath—to get some real answers from him.

He can run from the truth, be he can’t hide forever. https://t.co/Xfn1qH71sK

Ask him if he had any interactions with the Secret Service about his gun.

Speaking of Jury Tampering…

Judge orders Daniel Penny jurors to keep deliberating after failing to reach verdict on manslaughter charge in subway chokehold case [More]

Way to tell them the main authority figure in the courtroom who has power over them doesn’t want to dismiss the case.

A Right Delayed

FPC LEGAL UPDATE: The Seventh Circuit has granted Illinois' motion to stay the district court judgment in our lawsuit challenging the state's "assault weapon" and magazine bans, which means the law will remain in effect while the appeal continues: https://t.co/8OEtH2WSCZ pic.twitter.com/KHWnKDSGIQ

There comes a point where it’s simply unbelievable to say that judges actually think that way and aren’t perfectly aware of the tyranny they’re willing parts of.

We Hold This Truth to be Self-Evident

The cartels exist because Mexico wants them to. [More]

And the only way to get rid of feral hogs is to hunt them down and eradicate them.

Branch Managers

On Tuesday, the United States House of Representatives told the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) that siding with Mexico in its liability suit against American gun makers would violate the separation of powers. [More]

Kind of like ATF “rule” making?

The Nuclear Option

Why SCOTUS Should Nuke Mexico’s Bogus Lawsuit Against U.S. Gun Manufacturers [More]

I think they will, and in a rational world it would be ~~7 -0~~. OOPS.

I also think those bringing such suits ought to pay. Bigly.

An Uncommon Question

I. There is a long-running and intractable dispute in the lower courts over whether the Second Amendment allows the government to ban arms that are in common use by law-abiding citizens. II. Heller clearly teaches that arms in common use by law-abiding citizens cannot be banned. III. This case is an ideal vehicle to resolve this dispute. [More]

What’s to stop “common use” from allowing future developments to be banned?

Range Wars Surrender

United States Supreme Court denied Certiorari in Oakland Tactical versus Howell Township out of the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. [Watch]

Which means SCOTUS will accept lower courts denying rights and thumbing their noses.

[Via Jess]

It’s On

Justices schedule Mexico’s suit against US gun manufacturers [More]

March 4. Ought to be a slam dunk. Will even the communists on the court dissent?

And will defendants ever turn the tables and countersue?

We’re the Only Ones Reasonable Enough

“Any reasonable officer arriving at the scene would have simply confirmed Agent Burk’s credentials, then offered him assistance or cleared from the scene,” attorneys from the firm Cooper Elliot wrote. “Instead, the officers who did arrive immediately drew their weapons on Agent Burk, berated him, manhandled him, repeatedly tased him, cuffed him and locked him in the back of a police cruiser.” [More]

So she was trusted without a custodian and they stopped him from infringing on her RKBA?

Unless the “illegal” shotgun was stolen, what’s unreasonable about that?
