A Matter of Priorities

Today, the Justice Department filed suit against Montgomery County, Maryland (County). The complaint alleges that the County’s newly enacted Bill 23-26 violates the Second Amendment by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms in daily life. Bill 23-26 prohibits carrying firearms at thousands of locations, and also creates an arbitrary 100-yard exclusion zone around each location. The law applies even if the person carrying a firearm is duly licensed and has the express consent of the property owner. [More]

Hey, they just have different priorities.

Funny, how reality keeps proving some concerns right and protests against them wrong.

Duck Season/Rabbi Season

This ban could not come at a worse time for Montgomery County’s Jewish community. Just a short time after the firebombing in Boulder, the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence, and—close to home— the shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum, Montgomery County seeks to deprive Jews of their ability to defend themselves at their most Jewish moment: praying in synagogues. Jewish law requires Jews to defend themselves when necessary. Montgomery County would rather declare open season. [More]

It’s not unfair to wonder how many vote for Democrats, effectively declaring open season on themselves.

As an aside, this seems just what JPFO should be leading the charge on, instead of headlining reposted general 2A essays that have little to no tie in to the unique reason Aaron Zelman put his life into the effort.
