So Much for ‘the Supreme Law of the Land’…
Montana has a progressive state supreme court, but a Republican legislature and governor. The result? The state supreme court is striking down laws passed by the legislature — such as gun-rights legislation. Today’s decision of the Montana Supreme Court in Board of Regents v. State, written by Justice Laurie McKinnon, ruled that the state constitution gives the Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education authority over the Montana University System, and it was thus unconstitutional for the Legislature (in a bill called HB 102) to preempt the University System’s ban on carrying guns on campus… [More]
Bruen’s “sensitive places” writ large…
And the judges are elected, so don’t look for the state that gave us “pro-gun Democrats” Jon Tester and Max Baucus to throw the bums out. Especially with all the newly arrived nest foulers from California!

So Much for Spirit and Intent
Tuesday, Sen. Anthony Portantino, a Democrat from Glendale, introduced legislation that he said would “update” the state’s concealed carry law to make it more restrictive, while also complying with the highest court’s latest dictate. [More]
Any doubts this will pass, and challenges and appeals will drag on for years?
UPDATE
And not to be outdone, New York decides to push things to the limit and beyond.

Speaking of Layers of Deception…
The campaign to discredit Cassidy Hutchinson has begun [More]
Leave it to The Los Angeles Times to cover up the disconnects and act as a megaphone for the kangaroo court.
The plan, of course, is to goad the agents into appearing so they can betray the trust of their appointments and be asked questions to elicit recollections of statements that can be used to further smear.

The Sins of the Father
Aceves’ father was brought in for questioning and told investigators that Aceves had mental illness in the past and had been placed in a mental health facility twice at the age of 16. The father said that Aceves was prescribed medication but that he stopped taking it after a couple of years. Aceves’ father told police that his son had purchased an assault rifle and that family members are scared knowing he has a weapon based on his past behavior. [More]
So who declared him safe enough to let out and why wasn’t refusing his meds grounds to put him back in?
Aceves’ father sounds like a great example of responsibility.
