UPDATES

I’m scrolling through this as we speak. Look it over yourself and tell me if my old eyes are missing anything.

CERTIORARI DENIED:

24-309 GRAY, GABRIEL, ET AL. V. JENNINGS, ATT’Y GEN. DE, ET AL.

24-373 MARYLAND SHALL ISSUE, ET AL. V. MOORE, GOV. OF MD, ET AL.

Still looking for Snope and Ocean State Tactical…did I misunderstand they would be considered in conference? Guess I’ll have to wait for lawyers to explain what’s happening.

UPDATE

[T]he most important Second Amendment cases of Snope, the AR-15 ban case out of Maryland, and Ocean State Tactical the magazine Ban case out of Rhode Island, are both alive and well before the Supreme Court… [Watch]

So again, we wait.

Blast from the Past Part II

We talked a few month back about  George Gramlich, Editor of the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel sending me one of the few remaining signed magazines from Mike Vanderboegh’s smuggling exploits. [More]

I wasn’t sure how I was going to preserve it and decided over the weekend to put it in a hangable shadow box along with a sample of Threeperware from years gone by.

Arts and crafts were never my strong suit, but I like what I put together just fine:

I’ll get an engraving plate to affix to the bottom to read “Defy. Resist. Evade. Smuggle.” and my project will be complete.

I think my friend would have gotten a kick out of this, and I found the perfect place to hang it.

We’re the Only Ones Facilitating Enough

Man burglarizes Sheriff Gregory Tony’s vehicle, steals firearm magazines, among other items [More]

Tell me this is the first time ol’ Andre’s shown he can’t be trusted without a custodian

And we might want to ask Sheriff Tony if he agrees with his party on denying magazines for you and me to own lawfully…

Blast from the Past

From George Gramlich, Editor of the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel, via email:

David

I don’t know if you remember but Mike’s last Smuggler’s episode was him going up to NY or Conn with a bunch of 30 rounders and give them out at a rally. Well, he got too sick to do that and he called me up (or email, I can’t remember) and asked me if I had any options.

This was before July 4 so I said mail them to me and we will give them out at our 2nd Amendment section before the parade (with a little speech about where they came from. Everybody remembered when he marched with us a few years before). That give away was Mike’s last official action.To make the mags special, I asked him to write something on each one and he did.

Each mag read, first line, “MBV III” with the 2nd line saying, “Smuggler Prod. Co.”. In white magic marker.

I grabbed three that day. I have one at the office and one in my man cave but just found the third one yesterday. I had forgotten about it.

I want it to go to somebody who would value it.

Though you might want it. If so, please send your USPS address and I will ship it out shortly.

The wife just came in with the mail. Guess what I got:

Thanks, George! You’re the best!

Painted into a Corner

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.
