How They Can Use the Rule on Unfinished Frames and Receivers to TRY TO Disarm a LOT of You
There, I fixed it for ya.
Now I’m waiting for some genius on “our side” to say “Only Congress has that authority.”
McKee says he will include an ‘assault weapon’ ban in next year’s budget. [More]
Well, he beat the Republican 58% to 39%, so Rhode Islanders evidently have the overseer they want. And it’s not like “gun laws are strong enough” would put fire in my belly…

A challenge against Maryland’s gun ban is likely to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court before gun ban challenges from other states. [More]
Sadly, all the high court has to do to let it stand is nothing.
If they do hear it, it will be a game-changer, but it will still leave the more fundamentally destructive NFA and Hughes Amendment in play.
Then there are the questions of when will they hear such a case, and who will be in power and appointing justices?

A federal appeals court upheld Maryland’s ban on assault-style weapons Tuesday in an opinion that found regulating “excessively dangerous weapons” compatible with the Second Amendment. [More]
WarOnGuns has obtained an exclusive photo showing the legal contortions necessary for J. Harvie Wilkinson III to do that.
I wish I could say I was surprised.

Somebody may want to send him this.
As for “the original public meaning of ‘Arms’ excludes bullet-storage containers lke LCMs,” does anyone have a quick link to that brief? I’d like to check and see if the “expert” definition they’re relying on invalidates New Jersey’s “bump stock” ban.

Fortunately (and predictably, at least for the present):
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
It’s another try at this piece of treasonous Democrat subversion:
This Act may be cited as the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion Act or the GOSAFE Act.
In other words, Democrat gasbags are doing what they always do on guns: Gaslighting.
As an aside, McBath was a panelist for the Astroturf 97percent phonies who pretend to represent “reasonable” gun owners, and she let slip she was appealing to Fudds because “Bringing them into these discussions really helps us understand better ways to infiltrate…”

Thursday, 5/23/24 Connecticut Citizens Defense League filed a Response Brief in the Grant v. Lamont case. This brief is asking the court to reconsider our preliminary injunction that was denied by Judge Arterton prior to her retirement. If successful, injunctive relief could halt the CT Assault Weapons Ban while the case is in court. The Connecticut Assault Weapons Ban is an unjust restriction of our 2A rights under the scrutiny of the Bruen decision, we will keep on fighting until we reclaim what is ours. [More]
In the meantime, don’t stop doing what it takes…
Six petitions have been filed seeking review of that determination: Harrel v. Raoul, Herrera v. Raoul, Barnett v. Raoul, National Association for Gun Rights v. City of Naperville, Illinois, Langley v. Kelly, and Gun Owners of America, Inc. v. Raoul. Given the ubiquity of AR- and AK-type firearms, this case will likely be a blockbuster if granted. [More]
And what will it likely be if it’s not?

The Supreme Court on Monday declined three Marylanders’ request to review the constitutionality of a state law banning AR-15-style rifles that was passed in the wake of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. [More]
Why? Wasn’t it infringy enough?

The grabbers will include semi-auto rifles in the mix, and as long as they’re on a roll, why limit the qualifiers to internal devices like switches and sears? As long as they’re being redundantly obsessive, why not ban firearms that external devices like “bump stocks” can be attached to? [More]
But no one’s talking about taking your guns, right?

Perhaps. But tying “in common use at the time” to commercial popularity can be a trap.
