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]

Bores to Death

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New York Assemblyman Alex Bores (D) said that “it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons.” But “we shouldn’t be in these discussions on the ticky-tacky aspects of the specific guns. We need to be taking action to keep people safe. Exactly where we draw the line on exactly what kind of weapon, we can discuss.” [More]

We’ve seen where that “discussion” ends.

Glock Watchers

Democratic lawmakers are trying to make gun laws even harder in New York, including the sale of Glock brand firearms. Legislation passed a senate committee to ban the sale of pistol converters and convertible pistols. The legislation hones in on the firearm brand Glock because the design is easily manipulated.

Zellnor Myrie. Good grief, Democrats are dumb.

Think Glock’ll pull a Barrett?

Who’s Minding the Store? DOJ Siding with Letitia James Against Gun Companies

So, what gives with Podolsky’s very public filing, siding with notorious New York Democrat gun prohibitionists? And will AG Bondi and her new appointees now rein him in and slap him down? [More]

We’ve seen enough disconnects to make it fair to wonder if Bondi is being undermined or if she’s just talking out of both sides of her mouth.

UPDATE

I’ve submitted an update to this piece because, per GOA, DOJ reversed itself and is withdrawing from the case. If they’da listened to me from the start and included gun owner reps in their Task Force, they’d eliminate much of the uproar and embarrassing need to backtrack.

Goldilocks Gun Control

Survivors of the 2022 Brooklyn subway shooting are suing Glock—not because the gun malfunctioned, or was illegally obtained—but because it’s marketed as “compact and concealable.” That’s like suing Ferrari because their cars go too fast. [More]

This one’s too small. This one’s too big. None will be “just right.”

F-word these “survivors,” and the shysters and totalitarians behind them.

Divide and Conquer

New York proposal would ban police from making traffic stops for minor violations to pursue ‘racial equity’ [More]

Proposed by racist Democrats who hate America, but ultimately, it’s fine by me. I never wanted to have to put tags on my car anyway, and anything that will lessen the chances of me being forced to stop and subject to search is a plus in my book.

Just don’t sue me if I rear-end someone who didn’t have brake lights.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringe’ Is

The US Supreme Court refused to question New York’s 2022 gun restrictions, including the state’s limits on concealed-carry licenses and its ban on weapons in buses, parks and crowded venues. The justices without comment turned away an appeal by six New York residents who said the restrictions infringe the Constitution’s Second Amendment and fly in the face of recent Supreme Court rulings bolstering gun rights. [More]

As noted many times before over the years, all the Supreme Court has to do to allow blatant infringements of our fundamental rights to prevail is… nothing.

People in power don’t give it up unless there’s a credible “or else” behind demands.

Common ‘Law’

N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]

I hate to say I told you so.
