The Other Side in a Nutshell
This is why it’s fruitless to “debate” with with obnoxious, self-entitled fanatics who are too stupid to realize how wrong they are, and who presume to teach but don’t even belong in the class without passing the prerequisites.
Has the loudmouthed clownette “proudly” ID’d herself on social media yet?

A Chink in the Armor Ban
A federal judge has ruled that a constitutional challenge to New York state’s ban on selling bulletproof vests to civilians can move forward. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge John Sinatra Jr. rejected a motion from state Attorney General Letitia James and other New York officials to dismiss a challenge, ruling the plaintiffs have standing to sue the state over the restrictions. [More]
“Commonsense gun safety law advocate” Letitia not only wants to disarm you, she wants her shock troops to be able to more easily kill you with their “weapons of war.”

Stop Peeing in the Pool
Poisoning the Second Amendment Court Record [More]
Herschel observers that “arguing for semi-automatic firearms because they aren’t fully automatic firearms and thus not in military use is the wrong tactic.”
“But we have to do things in increments,” some will argue back.
He realizes that. It’s for when we get to the make-or-break increment we should be worried about.
It’s similar to fears I’ve expressed about how relying on “in common use at the time” is a trap.
Illinois Appeals District Court Harrel v. Raoul Ruling
Defendants Kwame Raoul, Attorney General of the State of Illinois, and Brendan F. Kelly, Director of the Illinois State Police (“State Defendants”), hereby appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit from the Court’s order and final judgment dated November 8, 2024, in this case (Doc. 55), as well as three related cases (Barnett, et al. v. Raoul, et al., 3:23-cv209 Doc. 259; Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois, et al. v. Pritzker, et al., 3:23-cv-215 Doc. 86; Langley, et al. v. Kelly, et al., 3:23-cv-192 Doc. 46). [More]
Of course they did. Tyrants don’t cede power unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demand, and besides, it’s not their money.
Credit Where Due
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners.

Rights-Free Zone Challenge
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal court challenge of Maryland’s restrictive “sensitive places” gun control law have filed an appellants’ brief with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. [More]
So the Founders intended “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless we tell them ‘Except here, here, and here…’?”
In the Spirit of Bipartisanship
A judge rejected Tesla founder, X owner and billionaire Elon Musk’s request to move the civil lawsuit against his $1 million giveaway filed by the Philadelphia district attorney to federal court. The lawsuit was remanded back to Pennsylvania state court Friday by U.S. District Judge Gerald J. Pappert, a former Republican Pennsylvania attorney general appointed to federal court in 2014 by President Barack Obama. [More]
Do Vichycons really believe Republicans will ever be serious power players again after they sabotage MAGA?
As Mike reminded us, we’ll still get to vote— just not for them.

You’ll notice who the cowards haven’t tried to sue.
