Supreme Court Review Sought to Challenge Firearm and Magazine Bans Citing Second Amendment [More]
With all the actions being filed, how can SCOTUS continue to leave what we all know the truth to be in legal limbo?
We’ll find our just as sure as we live
Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give.

David, What’s with the Ohio AG not joining the other States in the lawsuit challenging the new rule against private sales? [More]
I won’t respond there, because a big thing with me is keeping things on topic (see “Comment H0use Rules” in sidebar). That’s why comment threads hijacked away from the conversation I’m inviting, or worse, devolving into childish squabbling, really grind my gears.
But it’s a good question, and Dave Yost hasn’t shied away from those before.
In other words, the plaintiffs know they have nothing of merit, so they’re throwing everything against the wall to see if anything sticks. [More]
In a just world, the case would be thrown out as frivolous, plaintiffs would pay defendant attorney fees and court costs, and the ambulance-chasing “civil rights” lawyer would be fined and threatened with disbarment if he ever pulled this crap again.
Joe Biden announces that the 2A was ‘never absolute’ and all that talk about the tree of liberty is ‘crap’ [More]
Me, I’m hoping those swing state poll numbers hold.
In which case we’ll see about that.
WE may get a good preview of things to come at the Democrat Convention.

My husband was killed in a ‘gun free zone.’ Arm teachers for safety and to save lives [More]
I’d say “train teachers.” And get out of the way of them arming themselves.
I did note one loudmouthed self-identified Marxist punk saying it would “turn schools into war zones.” If I could remember where, I’d link to it.
No surprise he prefers them to remain killing fields…

Someone does not need a license to carry, according to the law, “in his place of abode or fixed place of business.” Yakaitis owned the home Powanda attempted to burglarize. The catch: He didn’t live there—it reportedly had no tenants at the time of the crime—opening a window for law enforcement to charge him essentially on a technicality. [More]
It’s awful hard to make the swine harassing him live in infamy if we’re not told his name.

Republican Rep. Reed Ingram “feels” the state’s 2022 permitless carry law, where “anyone over 19 years old can carry a concealed handgun without a permit, background check or training,” is a “bad bill.” Now “he intends to file a bill that would instead require someone to be 21 to conceal carry. They would also have to pass a hunter safety course or get a permit from the sheriff’s office.” [More]
With Republicans like this jackass, who needs Democrats?
Plaintiffs bring this action seeking a stay of agency action, temporary restraining order, and/or a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo, followed by a declaratory judgment and permanent injunctive relief restraining Defendants from enforcing a Final Rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the U.S. Department of Justice on April 19, 2024, entitled “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms” (“Final Rule”), 89 Fed. Reg. 28968. [More]
This is good work:
COUNT 5 Second Amendment: Right to Keep and Bear Arms 193. All foregoing allegations are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth herein. 194. The Second Amendment provides that “[a] well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 195. The text of the Second Amendment provides no qualifications or limitations constraining who may exercise the right or for what purpose the right may be exercised. Accordingly, the Second Amendment presumptively protects all Americans and all lawful purposes. 196. ATF failed “to justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). Nor can ATF justify its regulation because there is no early American tradition of requiring licensure of gun sellers
Plenty of pundits will be giving you their read on this. Why not read it for yourself?

This isn’t the same demographic that complains about being disenfranchised and then has to be pressured to put in the effort of going to the polls where they then vote for Democrats, is it?

Two Second Amendment Foundation cases challenging bans on so-called “assault weapons” and magazine capacity—one in Illinois and the other in Maryland—are among five cases distributed Tuesday by the U.S. Supreme Court for conference May 16. [More]

SCOTUS to Clarify the Contours of Second Amendment Rights in U.S. v. Rahimi [More]
Is there a problem with “shall not be infringed”?
Something tells me this won’t be a factor…
Flipping a gun for a price higher than one paid now may turn anyone into a dealer, making any such sale unlawful if it does not involve all the licensing and paperwork that govern gun dealers. [More]
Brought to you by every Republican who joined with Democrats on Biden’s “bipartisan” tyranny.

This bill would legalize the open carry of all non-firearm weapons… [More]
Then there’s:
…despite containing some anti-gun measures…
What are they? And I guess a “parade to celebrate the bill’s passage” has to be viewed as any improvement being better than what they had before, but somehow, marching with a spear emphasizes a different message for me.
“And they’re all gonna vote Democrat,” the student admitted. “The illegals, they’re coming here. They’re gonna vote Democrat and we’re going to win.” [More]
Be nice if our “gun rights leaders” finally admitted it…

JUSTICE SCALIA TEACHES: HOW TO SAVE THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS WITHOUT THE 2ND AMENDMENT [Watch]
It gets a bit too far into the weeds for my poor thinking, which can’t overlook the concessions he made trying to save it WITH the 2nd Amendment.

Then in January 2023, the market evaporated overnight after the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) changed course and issued a rule reclassifying braced pistols as highly regulated short-barreled rifles. [More]
Funny, how it didn’t used to be a problem…
