What’s in a Title?
WANTED: CEO for America’s Oldest & Largest Civil Rights Organization. Only Qualified Applicants Need Apply [More]
I couldn’t find a royalty-free photo of a street hooker in a tube top and leopard print hotpants to include with this post. But smart @$$ery aside, what’s with “CEO”?
I’ve been seeing it for years and it’s always confused me.
It’s not just how others refer to him, it’s how NRA refers to him, case in point, on official tax documents they file with the government.
The reason I’m confused is because per the Bylaws, Article V, Section 1 (a):
“The officers of the Association shall be a President, one or more Vice Presidents, an Executive Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, an Executive Director of the National Rifle Association General Operations, and an Executive Director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action.”
Then you get to (b) and it says (in boldface type):
“The Board may not abolish said offices nor create any other offices.”
That seems pretty specific and there for a reason. Anybody who knows what the deal is, please feel free to educate via comments.
Order in Illinois Gun/Magazine Ban Case
You can see that Stephen McGlynn is implicitly saying that he totally, totally disagrees with the ruling of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and while he’s not calling those judges morons, he’s basically saying, shall we say, they’re clearly wrong on the law. [Watch]
Nothing to stop the rest of us from calling them what they deserve…

Speaking of Fast and Loose…
The Justices Are Bad Gun Historians – The Supreme Court’s recent rulings on gun rights play fast and loose with the country’s traditions of owning and regulating firearms [More]
Either that or Jack Rakove wants to challenge Saul Cornell to be the Slippin’ Jimmy of revisionist history…
Shall we see where he goes wrong?

A Taxing Proposition
Today the Illinois Appellate Division reversed a lower court decision that had dismissed a legal challenge to the Cook County tax on firearms and ammunition sales. [More]
That case has been going back and forth for years. I’d reserve words like “huge” for the final decision, whenever that is.

US District Court judge Glenn Suddaby finds that NY ban on guns in public housing violates the 2nd Amendment. [More]
That’s all fine and good, but I still want to know why forcing me to pay for someone else’s living costs don’t violate the 13th Amendment…
I wonder what the text, history, and tradition at the time of ratification would have to say about that…

Running Out the Clock
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has decided to hear en banc the Bianchi v. Brown MD “assault weapon” ban case and, thus, prevent a likely favor 2A ruling from being issued by the three-judge panel of that court. [Watch]
And as I’ve said, if the Republicans blow the elections and Dems manage to change SCOTUS, we’ll get to see which side is more serious.

What kind of evil, lying traitor would you have to be to rule that way? So much for judicial conduct.
His treason will, of course, eventually be overturned, provided the Republicans don’t blow ’24…
