An Age-Old Question
In a case that could potentially have far-reaching implications for similar lawsuits across the nation, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied Minnesota’s Petition for Writ of Certiorari in Jacobson v. Worth, the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) challenge to the 18-20-year-old carry ban in the state…The high court’s refusal to hear the case means the Eighth Circuit’s ruling stands as a final judgment, confirming SAF’s win.

Now, how do we change “could” to “will”?

GRNC Alert: ‘Freedom to Carry’ Bill Advances
From Marc Erickson, Director, GRNC, via email:
On March 20th, the NC Senate passed SB50, the Concealed Carry Bill 26 to 18. Next week our House will likely be moving H5 (the complementary bill) to the House Floor for a vote.
Ammoland embeds my video from GRNC:
We have an alert active requesting that citizens contact our 100 County Sheriffs in support of the bills. This will be necessary in order to help pass the bill in the House of Representatives and then override an anticipated veto from Leftist Democrat governor Josh Stein.
Seems like the thing just wrote itself…:-)

That would be the same Pam Bondi NRA sued over denial of rights for 18-20-year-olds where the 11th Circuit, contrary to Bruen, “decided that historical sources from Reconstruction are more probative of the Second Amendment’s scope than those from the Founding.”
I can sense the apologists preparing arguments that her job is to defend state law.
I don’t hold any politician to standards I don’t hold myself to. I’d quit a job that required me to do that.

More words, President Trump?
This is exactly why “Gun Owners for Trump” needs to be more than names to help him get elected but actually be a presence and have his ear when he’s in power.

They can because they’re over 21.
And they’ve just decided those from 18 to 21 who can’t won’t be allowed to claim the Second Amendment, too.
And Four Boxes Diner advises this will go back down to the lower courts, not SCOTUS.

This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Rahimi, in which the justices attempted to provide guidance for courts reviewing Second Amendment challenges to restrictions on gun rights. [More]

It’s not them, it’s a fraudulent power-usurping system that allowed the first infringement to take place and has done nothing since but entrench and assail.
