US Supreme Court cases: Highest court will not hear Illinois assault weapons ban case [More]
Don’t lose heart. This is just process.
It’s not the “historic win” the gaslighting gasbag Jay Pritzker is claiming.
It is, however, a right delayed.

Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denies motion for en banc hearing of challenge against Illinois’ gun and magazine ban. “No judge in regular active service has requested a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc, and all members of the original panel have voted to deny panel rehearing,” the docket said Monday. “The petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc is therefore DENIED.” [More]
Will this be a catalyst for SCOTUS?
“In the right hands, a weapon can save lives. The war demonstrated this — whenever weapons were present, disasters were smaller,” he said in late October. “A gun can save a family, and an assault rifle can save a building. A weapon can protect you, your family, your street and your country.” [More]

It’s fair to ask how, in anyone’s universe, such conduct would not be grounds for removal from the court, disbarment from the practice of law, and criminal prosecution. [More]
Do radical Democrat prohibitionists really want to tell tens of millions of gun owners that the courts are no longer available to them to seek redress against infringements of their fundamental rights?
This week, I will put the Assault Weapons Ban on the Senate floor. [More]
What, is this Democrats whoring for headlines week…?
Question: Say the GOP blows ’24 or the election is stolen again, SCOTUS gets stacked, and this power pervert’s nocturnal emission comes true. Then say just 3% of us, and pray that’s all it is, reply “No, your move”…
Flesh out your plan, Schumer, you loathsome traitor. What needs to happen then, in detail, what will resistance to your bullshit tyranny look like, and you’re sure your enforcers are up for the response your hatred of men who believe unbendingly in the right to keep and bear arms will set off?

Waiver of right of respondent Jay Robert Pritzker, et al. to respond filed. [More]
There’s some arrogance for ya. They figure they don’t have to answer for Illinois Supreme Court corruption. Let’s hope SCOTUS surprises them and decides to look into it.
I’m told there may be more action on this later in the week, and if so, will decide if I can address it here or if a longer article is needed.

The GOSAFE Act is an innovative bill that would regulate assault weapons & high-capacity magazines. Thank you @SenatorHeinrich, @SenAngusKing , @SenMarkKelly , and @SenatorBennet for championing it. Weapons of war don’t belong on our streets. Let’s get it done. [More]

They’re not only conflicted but hiding it. You don’t get more in-your-face corrupt than that. But don’t look for the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board to care. [More]
What good is having your day in court when the judge is in bed with the offending politicians?
Christie says Trump’s ‘intolerant language and conduct’ contribute to rise in antisemitism [More]
That sounds like something “a closet antisemite” would say…
It’s not Trump agenda supporters out to make them — and everyone else — more vulnerable. And he doesn’t think “dangerous… crazy [and] radical” sounds intolerant?
Boy, the DSM sure is playing it up with everything they’ve got, though…
