RI House passes controversial assault weapons ban [More]
By this douche bag.
Gee, I wonder what emboldened them to try this now.

NRA-ILA Petitions the U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to NFA Restrictions on Short-Barreled Rifles [More]
Pretty long on “common use” popularity and pretty short on core purpose except to address militia controls, as opposed to militia necessity.
Now all SCOTUS has to do is… nothing.

Speaking of ‘Every Terrible Implement’…
Don’t look to Pam Bondi’s “Second Amendment Task Force” to help.
And don’t look to SCOTUS to hear it if it did.

Talk about sugar-coating: Good grief.
You know what would work even better than “YOUR help”? Getting Pam Bondi and her ATF guy to submit well documented statements of support.
If gun owner reps had a seat at the table, they’d be able to finesse that. But the ones in a position to demand that apparently think continuing to solicit craps shoot funds is the better way to go.
Which History? Which Sources?
Gun rights groups frequently call on courts to exclude other time periods. That’s because there were fewer regulations — at least regulations written down as statute — compared to the latter half of the 1800s, leaving fewer historical analogues to pick from. Focusing on the Founding Era also ignores crucial legal developments in the intervening decades. [More]
Yeah, that’s because later infringements weren’t what was agreed to and ratified.
These creatures are such shameless f_ing liars.

Spreading the Word
Andy Massimilian calls in about some 2nd Amendment court cases in which the Supreme Court did not take cases in some states letting some gun bans stay in place. [Listen]
This guy. He also writes letters to editors.
I’d like to see more gun owners take the lead on doing this.

Hold the Gratitude Until There’s an Answer
I would appreciate your help resolving this situation promptly on a statewide basis without the need for litigation. [More]
Yeah, well, what you’d appreciate and what connected Democrat power player Sheriff Sean Kilkenny will do could be two very different things.
Say he says “No,” and then ties things up in court for years and at the end of the trail the Supreme Court pulls another Snope. Why shouldn’t he take his chances and tell her to go for it? Especially since it’s not his money, the Democrats could very well be back in the national saddle by then, and he could emerge as the scrappy warrior who took on the feds and beat ’em…
BREAKING 2A NEWS: MAJOR ORAL ARGUMENT ABOUT GUNS ON PUBLIC TRANSIT!!!
The Federal Appeals Court for the 7th circuit heard an oral argument about gun free zones and whether they are constitutional under the 2nd Amendment. [Watch]
Of course they’re not. “Shall not be infringed,” remember?
Which doesn’t mean this won’t go on for years and end up in front of a deliberately indifferent a Supreme Court that denies cert.
Forgive me if the whole Snope deal has soured me on hyperbolic video titles.

And NOW What?
GOA & GOF File for Summary Judgment to Overturn Florida’s Open Carry Ban [More]
’bout damn time. Before someone gets killed.
So, will Uthmeier and DeSantis stand down, like they did with a challenge to the under 21 long gun ban, or fight, and in any case, all the Supreme Court has to do to keep the prohibition in place is something they’ve proven very adept at: Nothing.
We’re the Only Ones Ignorant Enough
Sorry it took so long to reply– I was away for several days. The video incident happened before FL passed permitless carry. In retrospect, I should have pointed that out. [More]
The “Only One,” who doesn’t know the law and who said he had respect for an amendment he couldn’t even properly number, was instructing his victim to break another law.
If that’s coming from a sergeant, imagine the street grunt’s legal acumen.
Police Responses to Florida Open Carriers Show Need for Direction from DeSantis
There is something that is in DeSantis’ power to do that can mitigate that danger without having to rely on oath-breaking Republican power players… [More]
One simple, proactive order that is within the governor’s power to issue could minimize the chances of lawful open carriers being endangered by police ignorance of the law.
Smile! You’re on Coerced Camera!
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) have filed their opening brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, challenging California’s sweeping surveillance mandate on firearm dealers. This appeal is part of the ongoing case against Cal. Penal Code Section 26806, which forces all FFLs—including home-based dealers—to install 24/7 video and audio recording systems to surveil customers, and then retain that data for warrantless inspection by the state.

Second Amendment Roundup: Bruen Was Right [More]
Now what can SCOTUS do about the “inferior courts” thumbing their noses at it, and what can DOJ do about states?

I Have Some Good News and Some Bad News
From the Department’s perspective, regardless of whether the Second Amendment requires an individualized restoration process for persons subject to 18 U.S.C. 922(g), 18 U.S.C. 925(c) reflects an appropriate avenue to restore firearm rights to certain individuals who no longer warrant such disability based on a combination of the nature of their past criminal activity and their subsequent and current law-abiding behavior while screening out others for whom full restoration of firearm rights would not be appropriate. [More]
The first part is fine. We need to understand how more than a select few can qualify.
As for those “others,” when are they going to learn?

GOOD Flag-Burning
The Line Gets Longer
For far too long, New York Democrats have weaponized state power to systematically dismantle the rights of law-abiding gun owners. That’s why I sent a letter to AG Bondi to investigate New York State’s persistent and unconstitutional assault on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens. [More]
