Illinois Appeals District Court Harrel v. Raoul Ruling

Defendants Kwame Raoul, Attorney General of the State of Illinois, and Brendan F. Kelly, Director of the Illinois State Police (“State Defendants”), hereby appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit from the Court’s order and final judgment dated November 8, 2024, in this case (Doc. 55), as well as three related cases (Barnett, et al. v. Raoul, et al., 3:23-cv209 Doc. 259; Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois, et al. v. Pritzker, et al., 3:23-cv-215 Doc. 86; Langley, et al. v. Kelly, et al., 3:23-cv-192 Doc. 46). [More]

Of course they did. Tyrants don’t cede power unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demand, and besides, it’s not their money.

Credit Where Due

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners.

Am I reading these wrong?

We’ve done this before. Let’s not do it any more.

One Hell of a Way to Run a Republic

…we’re likely going to lose it because we’re in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit but a strong showing for the Second Amendment in this case and I think it’s going to give rise to good stuff… before the United States Supreme Court in the Snope-Bianchi case hopefully coming out this spring… [Watch]

So, in order to get over the wall we need to climb over the bodies of our fallen…

Is This the One?

The Supreme Court is back in session as of Monday October 7th and they have a case before them in Snope v. Brown that could end all bans nationwide. This comes from a 4th circuit decision upholding the Maryland ban. [Watch]

There’s a huge difference between “could” and “will.”

Cross your fingers and wish for the best, but don’t invest all your hope.

Bizarrely Unconstitutional

Attorney General Labrador Leads 29-State Coalition Against Maryland’s Bizarrely Unconstitutional Gun Ban [More]

Changing the subject, there’s a case study to refute Vichycons for Harris here– Larry Hogan was a moderate lump. Yet Democrats paint him as ““recruited by extreme Republicans to run for the Senate.”

They’ll exploit the hell out of such useful idiots’ betrayals and then line them up by the limepit when they’re no longer useful.

A Key Point

Auto Key Card Case Appeal Says by ATF Standards Any AR-15 Could Be Considered a Machinegun [More]

Yeah, that’s the goal.

It’s also why some of us were arguing from the outset if anyone thought the bump stock ban was just about a stupid piece of plastic being a hill not worth dying on (meaning not even lifting a finger and disparaging those who did), they were missing the point.

The Ease with Which She Lies in Front of Millions

Of course they’re talking about taking your guns.

It’s all or nothing

The psy ops is in full force, with “conservative” Frank Luntz telling lefty media that Trump’s toast. Admittedly, the guy let himself get rattled and, as in 2020, the election is his to blow, but the real focus on behavior ought to be on someone who can lie so seamlessly and with a smile, using a mask of compassion and concern to hide malevolent intent.

There’s something deeply wrong with a person who can do that.

Today’s Low-Hanging Fruit Report

So a mouthy Pakistani frostback who should have never been allowed onto this continent and doesn’t even have the gear is all the “Boogedy-Boogedy” needed to spook the herbivores into demanding an AR ban.

And yes, millions of Democrats are stupid enough to fall for this.

Tell us more about “the greatest threat,” AG Garland…

I’d comment to Shannon but she blocked me because I was asking embarrassing questions.
