Not Just Off, But All the Way Off

Told ya it’s not just Trump.

I’ve been called a lot of names but don’t think I’ve ever been called a “crony” before.

Funny, who’s cheering him on.

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions

Whether Illinois’ flat ban on ordinary citizens carrying firearms on public transportation violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. [More]

That this is even in question shows how far the Republic has degraded from the clear intent understood by the founders as a condition for ratification.

That the big worry now is if SCOTUS will even hear it, and if so, how it will rule, tells us more.

Shall Not Be Infringed UNLESS…?

Viramontes’s criticism of Bevis on this point carries little weight, given Heller’s holding that “the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes[.]” Id. at 625. Heller did not hold, as Viramontes seems to imply, that military-style weapons are protected “arms” because military action by civilians is lawful. Instead, Heller characterized self-defense as the “core lawful purpose” of firearm use. 554 U.S. at 630. [More]

I beg to differ. And have warned that ignoring the militia aspect would be used against us.

Funny, how a common prohibitionist argument is that 2A advocates ignore the first 13 words, and here it is they’re doing just that in their legal argument.

In any case, the amendment says “arms.” And as for the contention that its ban “finds support in this nation’s history and tradition,” tell that to Tench Coxe.

F-n’ lying Illinois Democrats…

Just Like the Founders Intended

Creates the Responsibility in Firearm Legislation (RIFL) Act. Establishes a firearms manufacturer licensing program in the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, with certain requirements, including that the sum of all fees for firearms manufacturer licenses shall be equal to the public health costs and financial burdens from firearm injuries and deaths.

“Skirt protections,” eh?

There’s nothing “novel’ about being Democrat punks who continue to harass even though they know this spits on the face of the SCOTUS-held text, history, and tradition standard. They know they have unlimited tax plunder resources and can drag private plaintiff efforts and expenses on for years, all with impunity, that is, no personal repercussions.

To them it’s a game of “Gotcha!”

Some of us aren’t playing.

A Groundbreaking Development

“It should come as no surprise that the Obama Center is potentially leaving Illinois taxpayers high and dry — it’s an Illinois Democrat tradition,” Salvi told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Democrats in this state, when not going to prison for corruption, treat taxpayers like a personal piggy bank giving sweetheart deals to their political benefactors.” [More]

They bury the truth and then dig their way out.

To Each According to His Needs?

COURTROOM AUDIO LIVE: AR & Mag Ban Arguments Reveal How Nefarious These Blue States Actually Are… [Watch]

You don’t need full auto because the government has it? We’re limited to “self-defense”? And only indoors? Anybody see the word “useful” in the Second Amendment…?

Are “average” <3-round limits next?

Everybody’s picking up that it’s “common usage” arguments they’re arguing to impose limits, right?

In Care Of

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) have filed a motion for summary judgment in its lawsuit challenging Illinois law that bans firearms in homes licensed to provide foster or day care. The Foster Home and Day Care Home Rules and statutes in Illinois ban adults licensed to foster parent or provide day care in their own homes from keeping functional firearms for self-defense, even if they are otherwise allowed to possess them. [More]

Another prohibitionist paradox: How can you be a caretaker if you can’t take care?

They don’t care.

And Leave the Disarming to Us!

US appeals court reverses lower court, approves Illinois ban on carrying firearms on public transit [More]

No doubt when he commutes, Biden appointee Judge Joshua Kolar is “comfortably situated” in a private luxury vehicle and doesn’t need submit himself and his loved ones to this.

The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship?

Following its amicus brief in support of us, the federal government has asked the Seventh Circuit for approval to participate in oral arguments in our lawsuit challenging Illinois’ “assault weapon” and magazine bans [More]

How could they refuse? After all, “Currently, six of the court’s judges were appointed by Republicans and five by Democrats.”

Yeah, but one of those “Republicans” is treasonous dotard Frank Easterbrook…

How Now, Brown Cow?

Illinois Lt. Governor Tweets That Michael Brown Was “Murdered” – In fact, Brown was shot when he sucker punched a cop and tried to grab his service weapon. Yet 11 years after Brown’s shooting, the lie persists and is spread by politicians and activists. [More]

The people stirring up the mob are the sane ones who demand you be defenseless against the calculated violence they incite.

Justice Filing Brief in Illinois Gun Ban Case a Long Overdue Change in Course

Still, the brief adds some important points that an ultimate Supreme Court decision will need to consider: Among recognized “uses by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes” are “self-defense, target shooting, and public defense,” that last category touching on the core purpose the Framers had in mind as articulated in the first 13 words of the Second Amendment.

My latest from Firearms News looks at a long called for DOJ action in support of the Second Amendment that matches its new words.
