Unclear on the Concept

Assistant A.G.: Everyone Working on Behalf of U.S. to Improve It ‘Has a Target on Their Back’, I’ve Urged Them to Carry [More]

As the “pro-Second Amendment” administration’s top civil rights lawyer, I’m wondering how she justifies requiring government permission — with the power to say “No”– for a non-incarcerated citizen to exercise a fundamental right.

‘Likely’?

FPC LEGAL ALERT: The Third Circuit has ruled that New Jersey’s bans on carrying in private vehicles and on private property by default, along with the state’s liability insurance requirement for carry permits and $50 carry permit fee for “the Victims of Crime Compensation Office account” likely violate the Second Amendment [More]

What was their first clue…?

Here Come the Judge

We agree with the District Court that the Plaintiffs’ individual-capacity claims are barred by absolute judicial immunity. We further conclude that Article III’s case-or-controversy requirement bars official-capacity claims under § 1983 against state court judges who rule on firearms license applications under New York state law. Affirmed. [More]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Find Out What It Means to Me

I want you out there in the Second Amendment movement to hear what I’m saying, observe what the Trump administration is doing in terms of enforcing Title 9 against universities and governmental agencies that are thumbing their noses at civil rights, because we can derive lessons from what the Trump administration is doing, lessons from the remedies being sought, lessons from the remedies being imposed upon, in this case, the University of Pennsylvania, and we can draw analogies and come up with new ways for we in the Second Amendment community to basically try to get the Trump administration to do to, for example, those law enforcement agencies that refuse to respect our Second Amendment rights. So, for the purpose of this discussion, remove the words ‘University of Pennsylvania’ in your mind and insert, for example, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or some other local law enforcement agency, maybe the New York Police Department that issues licenses, insert them in there and then let’s talk about the remedies. [Watch]

Validating precedent for the licensing of a right that “shall not be infringed” is a remedy? This will make those agencies “respect our Second Amendment rights”?

Yeah, trust me, I understand “incrementalism.”

I also carried for 30 years in L.A. without any damn “permit,” so, as always, I never expect personal considered choices from anyone I’m not willing to expect of myself.
