If They Can Do It to Him…

A New Jersey attorney who was denied a gun permit is suing Springfield Township and its police department in federal district court, alleging they violated his right to bear arms because of pro-Palestinian social media posts…. In records that Saadeh obtained through the state Open Public Records Act, police wrote that granting the permit renewal “would not be in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare because the person is found to be lacking the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.” [More]

Don’t stop there. Sue them for libel.

And no, I’ve changed no positions. I’m only going on facts presented and extrapolating from there while channeling my inner Thomas More.

Rules for Thee…

As of this guide’s initial publish date, 80% lower receivers and frames are not considered as firearms by the ATF however they are not legal to ship directly to buyers residing in the District of Columbia. [More]

Not because ATF didn’t try, but it’s probably OK because my bet is they didn’t buy it.

UPDATES

I’m scrolling through this as we speak. Look it over yourself and tell me if my old eyes are missing anything.

24-309 GRAY, GABRIEL, ET AL. V. JENNINGS, ATT’Y GEN. DE, ET AL.

Still looking for Snope and Ocean State Tactical…did I misunderstand they would be considered in conference? Guess I’ll have to wait for lawyers to explain what’s happening.

UPDATE

[T]he most important Second Amendment cases of Snope, the AR-15 ban case out of Maryland, and Ocean State Tactical the magazine Ban case out of Rhode Island, are both alive and well before the Supreme Court… [Watch]

So again, we wait.

We’re the Only Ones Diagnostic Enough

When gun owners apply for concealed carry permits in Mecklenburg County, sheriff’s office background checks have sometimes turned up sensitive health information, including whether a person has had an abortion or has a sexually transmitted disease… The sheriff’s office, through a spokesperson, said the agency has no control over what information health providers choose to send. In a statement, MCSO said the records sent are dependent on the provider’s discretion. [More]

They can’t specify the information they want? And the providers don’t have policies and procedures in place approved by their risk managment departments to only provide what is required by law?

And why the hell is this required by law anyway?

Convenient or Inevitable?

The Dog Ate My Homework

First, she said, she managed to drop her phone into a filled bathtub. When she pulled the phone out of the water and found it was not working, Choi went to her laptop in order to make a video call. When the call ended, Choi then knocked over a bottle of water—whoops!—directly onto the computer, which was also taken out of commission. So, when the day came to hand in her devices, neither was working. [More]

So much for #BelieveWomen…

Hold her beer, Michael Bellesiles.

I’m Just a Little Black Raincloud

I hate to be Eeyore, but with all the hyperbole and excitement I’m seeing about national Constitutional Carry reciprocity, it doesn’t seem out of line to ask the gushers and the click baiters to provide a realistic estimate of whose votes we can count on, and which “Republicans” will join with the slim Democrat minority to keep the bill from getting to the president’s desk.

No one would like my caution to be proven unfounded more than me. The last thing I want to see with such great expectations is the wind taken out of everyone’s sails.

Anyone care to help me jump on the bandwagon?
