Docket Teasers

David Snope, et al., Petitioners v. Anthony G. Brown, in His Official Capacity as Attorney General of Maryland, et al… Jan 21 2025 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/24/2025. [More]

Ditto for Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island.

Will they hear either? Can they hear one on semiautos without hearing the other on magazines?

And if we tune in tomorrow, will they again tell us to come back Monday to find out?

He’ll Sign It If He Has to…

Gov. Jared Polis said Thursday night that a ban on the manufacture and sale of semiautomatic firearms with a removable ammunition magazine isn’t his preferred method of tackling gun violence, but he’s not fundamentally opposed to the idea. [More]

That’s a Democrat’s idea of “compromising” on guns.

When is SCOTUS gonna stop with the stalling and put an end to this clearly unconstitutional subversion?

Your Terms of Surrender

House Bill 12 by Rep. Joy Garratt (D-ABQ) allows law enforcement officers to bypass the need for a “reporting party” and go straight to filing a petition for an extreme risk protective order based on information collected by the officers — allowing them to be the sole source and mechanism by which an order is issued. [More]

And there’s another that makes owning attachments a felony.

Obey or be destroyed.

From the People Who Would Benefit Politically from You Being Dead

SB25-003, Colorado’s newly filed “Assault Weapons” Semi-Auto Firearm bill will ban all rifles and shotguns that accept detachable magazines, along with many semi-auto pistols that accept detachable magazines. If enacted, the Colorado Attorney General would have the power and authority to further define the nuanced and often contradictory bill language. [More]

They’re just trying to help their goals along.

SCOTUS Order List

Check in at 9:30 a.m. Eastern to see if they picked the cases we want. [More]

UPDATES

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

CERTIORARI DENIED:

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

24-373 MARYLAND SHALL ISSUE, ET AL. V. MOORE, GOV. OF MD, 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.

Another Great Reason to Disarm You and Me

A 15-year-old boy is facing serious weapons charges after being arrested in possession of a semiautomatic rifle in northeast Portland on Monday. [More]

Bet the breeder sow and sperm donor are real prizes…

No, of course we can’t tell you who he is so you can thank him for adding fuel to idiot Dana Polehanki’s fire.

Boy, times sure have changed.

Request to Expedite

The 2A Attorneys in Gray v. Jennings Delaware “assault weapon” ban litigation have filed a submission to SCOTUS as the three AR-15/Magazine ban cases continue their move through the Court’s consideration process. Mark Smith Four Boxes Diner discusses. [Watch]

That’s a counterpoint to this.

January sounds like the month we’ll learn either way if this and related cases will be considered/consolidated or punted again.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of ‘Shall Not Be’ Is

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]

The state that inflicted Joe Biden onto the political scene says banning semiautomatic rifles and magazines doesn’t infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Mark W. Smith ties it in with related cases SCOTUS is considering. And I continue to be suspicious of relying on “common use.”

Up for Discussion

The case of Snope v. Brown has been distributed for the Supreme Court’s conference for December 13. Previously styled Bianchi v. Brown, the cert petition challenges Maryland’s “assault weapon” prohibition which the Fourth Circuit upheld en banc earlier this year… Now for a deeper dive. [More]

Stephen Halbrook confirms, among other things, what a f-ing idiot “Reagan Republican” Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III is.

Asked and Answered

But the Second Amendment isn’t an inkblot on the Constitution. It means something. Can that possibly not include a right to own the gun that claims to be America’s bestselling rifle? [More]

Is it an arm?

Then the right of the people to keep and bear it shall not be infringed.

Anyone who says otherwise is just a liar.

O Canada

Canada on Thursday announced a ban on 324 assault-style firearms in a continued effort for more stringent gun control. Leaders in Canada also said that they are working with the government of Ukraine to see how the guns can be donated to support the fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. [More]

What do we expect from subjects of the Crown?

It’s not like it will do any good anyway. Ukraine started out showing such promise and then decided it didn’t trust it’s people, either.

A Right Delayed

There comes a point where it’s simply unbelievable to say that judges actually think that way and aren’t perfectly aware of the tyranny they’re willing parts of.
