An Informed Opinion

From David T. Hardy, via an email discussion concerning SCOTUS declining to hear a challenge to New York concealed carry laws:

It just declined to grant a stay pending appeal (or, to be more exact, refused to overrule the 2nd Circuit’s decision to grant a stay), which is not really refusing to hear the case. The two dissenters suggested they were ready to jump down the 2nd Circuit’s throat if it didn’t do the right thing.

The 2nd Circuit is going to look at this case very carefully….

Napoleon, when someone was going into detail on a particular general’s military virtues and why he deserved promotion, cut him off with “Enough, tell me one thing — is he lucky?” Meaning, I think, does he get results that no one expected. The attorney in the case, Steven Stamboulieh, appears to be very, very, lucky. He is someone to watch, now and ten years from now when we in the old guard are gone.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Get Back in the Water

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]

How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.

I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.

Maybe somebody’s got pictures?

Food for Thought

A restaurant diner legally in possession of a handgun watched the incident unfold, and intervened by drawing his weapon while giving Padron commands to stay on the ground and let go of the knife. [More]

All in Kathy Hochuls’ New York…

But wait a sec– we’ve been told gun owners are bloodthirsty white supremacists just waiting for someone to blast away and that those of us who haven’t killed anyone just aren’t murderers yet. So what’s this guy doing actually deterring violence?

Anybody know if Applebee’s has changed its policy? I haven’t had much incentive to go there and check for some time…

Back to the Drawing Board

SCOTUS denies vacating 2nd circuit stay in Antonyuk, but says @GunOwners “should not be deterred by today’s order from again seeking relief if the Second Circuit” gets it wrong! [More]

But…but…but she was a hunting buddy, every bit the gun owners’ pal as Fudds for Biden.

What have we learned?

UPDATE

GOA elaborates.

Herschel brings us up to date on Antonyuk v Satan’s Minions, including New York’s insulting brief and Stephen Stamboulieh’s authoritative response.

I have to find out what SCOTUS’s options are for slapping inferiors defying hierarchical precedent down.

Hatchet Job

The Supreme Court May Kick Off 2023 With a Huge Gun Rights Ruling – Without oral argument or full briefing, the case could take a hatchet to New York’s new concealed carry law—and countless more nationwide. [More]

So why does Mark Joseph Stern have his panties in a wad?

Oh…

Muster Call

A federal lawsuit supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition has been filed in New York, challenging that state’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]

I’ve been arguing not to forget “core purpose” in 2A actions, so I find this a good add:

The firearms at issue in this case are the sorts of bearable arms in common use for lawful purposes that law-abiding people possess at home by the millions. And they are, moreover, exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty, should such be necessary.

The Girlfriend Loophole

The Petitioner who filed for the Extreme Risk Protection Order was the estranged boy friend of the Respondent who was a licensed gun owner in New York State … The Court also pointed out that there was a Family Court case also going on in which The Petitioner had an Order of Protection against him which among other things barred him from the home that they had shared. [More]

Sounds like it should have been called the Stalker Protection Act…

In this case, with people dying, there’s no question police were desperately needed elsewhere. But it’s in these times of disaster when people left to protect themselves are most justified in doing just that against predators. [More]

When seconds count, you’re on your own.

Just Like the Founders Intended

A federal appeals court on Monday allowed New York to restrict the carrying of firearms on private property under a new law adopted in wake of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded gun rights. [More]

Here ’tis.

Sack is a Clintonista and Wesley was appointed by Dubya, but Bianco was a Trump nominee.

We haven’t heard the last of this, but the first of it is ludicrous, offensive and intolerable.

[Via Jess]

Stay Tuned

Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion for a stay pending appeal is GRANTED and … Appellees’ motion to expedite the resolution of the matter is GRANTED. [More]

So the infringements will continue but we’ll hurry up about making a decision?

Here’s the original Antonyuk v. Hochul complaint for those unfamiliar with the case. Just to give you an idea of how full of sh… uh… beans the other side is, check out this bit of lying, hoplophobic hysteria from Brady president Kris Brown:

New Yorkers, like all Americans, do not want their supermarkets, public squares, and child care centers turned into bullet-riddled crime scenes.

Where haven’t lawful concealed carriers done that?

We’re the Only Ones ULLA TELUM Enough

[T]wo groups of people who had earlier been engaged in a bar argument that spilled out on the street before shots were fired … the deputy showed he was armed and that another man drew a gun and began to fire at the deputy. Police said officers ordered everyone to drop their weapons. One man, later identified as Caselnova, repeatedly refused to comply before officers opened fire…[More]

Any gun in a bar fight?

Maybe “Only Ones” who warn against “blood in the streets” are projecting…

Certifiable

Removes the national rifle association from the list of entities authorized to grant certificates as instructors in small arms practice [More]

Can it get more in-your-face that this is about the politics of destruction than this? Among other things, this seems like a blatant punitive violation of the First Amendment. Then again, why would that slow down someone who believes they can get away with eviscerating the Second?

But OK, just make sure none of the “authorized” instructors got their certifications from NRA. Then again, those imposing this won’t mind if a shortage means New Yorkers can’t get permits– they’re no doubt counting on it.

Maybe the Moms can do the training from now on. They claim to be “commonsense gun safety” experts.

Any gun or ammunition supplier who arms New York state enforcement entities is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

This, of course, is one more nose-thumbing at SCOTUS and its Bruen decision. It won’t stand unless we get court packing in the years it will take to go through the challenge and appeals process, and meanwhile, the state will have unlimited resources while the plaintiffs will have to scramble and compete for them.

What a POS Sean Ryan — and anyone who voted for him — is.

Terms of Surrender

New York Attorney General Letitia James today cracked down on online ammunition sellers illegally shipping ammunition to New York residents and failing to keep records of these sales. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that 39 ammunition sellers have been shipping ammunition directly to New York residents in violation of New York’s SAFE Act, which prohibits direct online sales of ammunition to New York residents. Attorney General James sent cease and desist orders to these ammunition sellers demanding that they stop shipping ammunition directly to New York and warned them of serious legal consequences if they continue to violate New York’s law. [More]

The maniac doesn’t presume to rule just New Yorkers.

So: Which ammo dealers are still selling to the state?

We’re the Only Ones Further Endangering You Enough

When the NCPD found out that the woman seeking a concealed carry permit because she feared for her life didn’t notify the NCPD Pistol License Section of her 911 call, they promptly stopped the background investigation and suspended her pistol permit. They proceeded to confiscate her firearms, including her long guns. [More]

Title Case

“Property owners indeed have the right to exclude. But the state may not unilaterally exercise that right and, thereby, interfere with the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens who seek to carry for self-defense outside of their own homes.” [More]

If you don’t want me there, put up a sign. It’s not the government’s job to absolve you of accountability, and I’ll be happy to let you be the attractant.

Blame to Go Around

The mother of a 30-year-old Buffalo woman who was killed by her estranged husband told The Post that Gov. Kathy Hochul was just as responsible for the brutal slaying as the man who pulled the trigger. [More]

Not to give Hochul a break or anything, but it appears there were also some all-too-common poor choices in play here, and I wonder if Keaira imprinted off of Tammy in her man-selection acumen and if they both were Democrats.

The Red Queen

Hochul touts “red flag” gun seizures as polls show crime top concern for New Yorkers [More]

It’s instructive how she minimizes concerns over pandering to a key Democrat constituent bloc by turning a blind eye to effectively addressing real crime, opting instead to go after citizens who have not been tried for or convicted of anything.
