You’re in Good Iron Fists

Gun owners in the nation’s 10th largest city who disobey a requirement to carry liability insurance and pay a yearly fee will have to fork over up to $1,000 in fines as part of San Jose’s unique and controversial push to combat gun violence — a novel legislative approach that has triggered a challenge in federal court and has 2nd Amendment supporters up in arms. [More]

It’s not so novel– as with all “progressive” ideas, we’ve seen comparable tyrannical outrages like poll taxes and gun registration abuses before.

Licky Licardo & Co. just put a new mask on it.

Do they even have who the lucre goes to worked out yet? I want to start a pool on how many years it will take for whoever runs it to be exposed for embezzlement.

Actually, it will probably never get that far because it is so clearly unconstitutional and in violation of Bruen’s “historical understanding.” This is just protracted harassment and delaying tactics by official subversives who can spend all the plunder they want on drawn-out legal challenges and appeals, knowing that to fight it, their opponents will need to dig into limited and stretched-out financial resources.

We’re the Only Ones Hunting in Packs Enough

Swampscott Resident Surrounded by 9 Coyotes, Rescued by Police… Police suggest bringing homemade noisemakers, a small air horn, squirt guns or pepper spray while walking your dog. They also stressed that it is important not to run away from a coyote. [More]

That’s because thanks to Massachusetts Democrats, you need special police permission to carry something that will actually work, and Bruen notwithstanding, don’t expect that to change overnight.

Predator Empowerment Zones Disputed

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in federal court challenging the new concealed carry statute in New York State that, among other things, prohibits concealed carry in churches. [More]

The Democrat authors of that legislation evidently didn’t feel six seconds gave murderous attackers enough of an advantage.

UPDATE

And here’s another case:

The Second Amendment Foundation scored a victory in a ruling by a Tennessee Appeals Court panel striking down a gun ban by a public housing authority in the community of Columbia on the grounds it violates the Second Amendment, citing recent Supreme Court language in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

Just Like in the Good Old Days

New Jersey lawmakers want to solidify the state’s standing of having some of the toughest gun laws in the nation by requiring people to have liability insurance for concealed carry and add to the list of places firearms will be banned in public. [More]

I guess the historical understanding here is Democrats intend to resume the economic discrimination against armed minorities they invented in the Black Codes…

Unlimited Potential

CNN Sounds Alarm: SCOTUS May Wipe Out Gun Control ‘Nationwide’ [More]

Only if we think of Bruen as “a good first step” and realize that we can’t take it for granted that the courts are going to save us… especially noting how Democrat strongholds, with guns to back their moves up, are deliberately thumbing their noses as they pile on new infringements.

Let the Tyranny Continue!

New York’s new gun law will remain in effect for now after a federal appeals court on Wednesday agreed to temporarily reverse a lower court’s order blocking the law’s central provisions while a legal challenge by a gun-owners’ rights group proceeds. [More]

The city knows it’s breaking the law. The court knows it’s breaking the law.

Funny, how the only people that can go to jail are the ones breaking an illegal law…

Igeocracy

Within a month, hundreds of people in Hawaii could be carrying concealed guns. That’s based on applications so far at each of Hawaii’s four county police departments and each chief’s timeline for approving them. [Watch]

That it isn’t hundreds of thousands is a pretty good indicator on why the place is still an Igeocracy.

And that’s “could be carrying concealed guns [LEGALLY]…”

Too bad vindication won’t include attorney fees…

Like a Good Nachbar

Freeman said the insurance requirement was analogous to some 19th-century laws requiring gun owners to post bond in order to carry a gun. [More]

Ah yes, Licky Liccardo’s law…

The antis will try to use Bruen’s “historical understanding” to justify every disarmament edict they can think up. Let unsaid with that approach:

Were those edicts ever challenged on Second Amendment grounds? Because what they won’t find is the Supreme Court upholding such “laws.”

AMA Assault Science Weapon of Choice in Mass Shillings

Mass public shootings in the US account for a small fraction of all firearm-related homicides, but have an outsized role in stoking the public’s concern with firearm violence. [More]

Yeah, thanks to elites-funded hysterical “agenda science” amplified by an equally hysterical (and reliably ignorant) DSM.

Doctrinaire disarmament propagandists Philp J. Cook and John Donahue (Piled Higher and Deepers each) sure use a lot of words to spook the herd on a threat that takes fewer lives than fists and feet. And the gunquacks (funny, we were just talking about them) at the equally agenda-driven AMA are delighted for another chance to posture and preen as leaders.

Those are my broad strokes on the matter. I’m hoping our friends Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D. and the good docs at DRGO decide to give us something more scholarly to push back with…

Hat tip to John Richardson, who sent me this information, and has put together quite a nice write-up that factors in Bruen. This is one of the things I like about those in “our movement” who do it right– the object is to help each other fight the best fight possible.

We’re the Only Ones Personal Enough

Firearm Licensing- The recent New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen Supreme Court decision stripped local police chiefs of significant discretion regarding who may possess and carry a firearm. In the wake of this decision, this bill amends Massachusetts law to bring gun licensing provisions into compliance with the Supreme Court decision and to ensure that individuals seeking a license to carry are first interviewed personally by their local police chief. [More]

No room for obstructions, denials, or delays there…

Case-Sensitive

D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine says in a new court filing that Metro is too sensitive a place to allow regular commuters to carry handguns, because trains and buses carry large numbers of federal workers and also D.C. school children on a daily basis. [More]

Karl must drive to work.

What’s “a historical understanding” say about this?

A Historical Understanding

A witty and informative email reply by attorney Donald Kilmer to a  discussion on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors banning .50-caliber handguns:

As long the ban doesn’t exceed the .64 caliber U.S. issued smoothbore flintlock boarding pistol, we have nothing to worry about. Maybe the Board of Sups should read a little history.

Times Square Gun-Free Zone Plans Leave the Obvious Unmentioned

Take that to mean you can’t have a permitted gun with you in a private automobile, either. The entire city is being turned into a “patchwork quilt” designed to make it impossible to travel within its limits without violating the law. [More]

By ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision with impunity, this has effectively become not just a real insurrection, but a sanctioned secession.

Maybe They Didn’t Hear Right

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday directed its attorneys to draft a series of ordinances aimed at regulating gun sales and possession in the county, including a ban on the sale of .50-caliber handguns and ammunition in unincorporated areas. Another proposed ordinance would require “buffer zones” between gun/ammunition dealers and “sensitive areas” such as schools, day care centers and parks in unincorporated areas. Another would ban the possession of firearms on all county property. [More]

SCOTUS said “historical understanding,” not “hysterical understanding”…

And What’s to Stop Her?

Hochul is saying she will comply with the Bruen rulings by making it more difficult to acquire a concealed handgun carry license. In other words, “I, Kathy Hochul, will comply with the Bruen rulings by not complying with them.” Huh! [More]

This will continue until rights enforcement slaps cuffs on her and all her co-conspirators.

Besides which, the DSM has dumbed enough constituents in “our democracy” down enough to be on her side.

Overlooking Two Essentials

New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen: Originalism and the Relevance of Common Law and Reconstruction-Era Restrictions on Exercise of a Right [More]

David T. Hardy’s new law review manuscript is online. He concludes the majority made some shaky assumptions, too.

I’ve got some reading to do. Looks like no “Dancing with the Stars” for me tonight…

Bruen 2.0

Plaintiffs seek a declaration that New York’s limitations of and burdens on the right to carry firearms as enacted in Senate Bill 51001 (“SB51001”) and as otherwise detailed below are unconstitutional under the First, Second, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Plaintiffs also seek an injunction compelling Defendants to refrain from enforcing those invalid limitations. [More]

Unless and until the in-your-face stonewallers face personal consequences, they know they’ll have virtually limitless plunder resources to draw from. And if they can wait things out, the plan is for total control so that current legal decisions will no longer impede.

[Via Jess]

Unconstitutional, But What the Hell…

DECISION AND ORDER that Plaintiffs’ Complaint (Dkt. No. 1 ) is sua sponte DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3}. Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction (Dkt. No. 9 ) is denied without prejudice as moot. Defendant’s motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction (Dkt. No. 21 ) is denied without prejudice as moot. The Clerk is directed to close this action. Signed by Chief District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby on 8/31/2022. (sal ) (Entered: 08/31/2022) [More]

I found myself channeling Gary Coleman over this so found it advisable to post GOA’s latest email over at my WarOnGuns Placeholder blog because I don’t see it on their site yet.

Temporary Relief

U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney, a Biden appointee, issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) on Tuesday against Boulder County. It stops enforcement of the county’s ban on the manufacture and sale of assault weapons, which include the popular AR-15, and ammunition magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds. [More]

So what’s it take to get a PRO?

A City’s Got to Know Its Limitations

We are constrained by the recent United States Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v Bruen (597 US _, 142 SCt 2111 [2022]) which mandates the grant of this CPLR article 78 petition. Specifically, in Bruen , the United States Supreme Court held that denial of a license applications for failing to satisfy New York’s “proper cause” standard, under which the applicants had to demonstrate a special need for self-protection distinguishable from that of the general community, was unconstitutional as violative of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects an individual’s fundamental right to keep a firearm, and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which makes this right equally applicable throughout the states. THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT. [More]

“Callahan” seems such an appropriate name here.

Plaintiff lacks standing…Bruen is the wrong person to sue…plaintiff hasn’t shown injury… the plaintiff hasn’t shown a likelihood of winning… [More]

Everything to dance around and obscure the indisputable fact that these m***********g tyrannical New York a******s are denying a fundamental right to We the People under force of arms with full intent to bring an up-to-lethal hammer down on the head of anyone who disobeys.

Reminds Me of an Old Dog Joke

“Senate Bill 918 is nothing short of tyrannical overreach to force his ideology on law abiding people who still believe in the framer’s intent,” said Rick Travis of the CA Rifle and Pistol Association. “Governor Newsom and his allies will stop at nothing to remove the right of the people to defend themselves. He is signing bills that are known constitutional violations and does not care.” [More]

Why? Because he can.

Open Season

“The gun rights movement has been given a weapon of mass destruction, and it will annihilate approximately 75% of the gun laws eventually,” said Evan Nappen, a New Jersey gun rights attorney. [More]

What do the antis call that? Oh, yeah, a good first step.

My Kind of Precedent

Yesterday, a judge in California threw out charges for carrying a handgun without a license, saying that “the defendant cannot be punished for exercising his right to public carry” while the state’s unconstitutional may-issue law was in effect. [More]

Hey, they say what starts in California spreads out to the rest of the country…
