It’s About Time?
Ninth Circuit (Finally) Rules Hawaii’s Gun Purchase Permit and Registration Time Limits are Unconstitutional [More]
The whole damn scheme is unconstitutional.

Federal Appeals Judge ATTACKS Ninth Circuit for Gaming 2nd Amendment Cases [Watch]
We talked about this butterfly knife/2A case here.

Par for the Course
Just Like the Framers Intended
For places that are newer, Defendants must point to regulations that are analogous to the regulations cited by the Supreme Court, taking into account that it is illogical to expect a government to regulate a place before it existed in its modern form. [More]
So, any building, parcel, street, city, territory, or state developed after ratification…?
What other articles in the Bill of Rights does this apply to?
No Doubt About It
A Good First Step
Today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of election integrity! Voters in Arizona who register with the state and do not provide proof of citizenship will be rejected. [More]
Why this is even an issue is a testament to the success of the subversives.
“Before: BADE, LEE, and FORREST, Circuit Judges,” eh?
I’m not holding my breath for what the full court will do.

Back to Square One
A Singular Argument
The text of the Second Amendment plainly does not guarantee a right to purchase an unlimited number of firearms within a 30-day period. [More]
I’m pretty sure “arms” is plural.
Of course, the miserable traitor Rob Bonta knows that.
Subversive Democrats pull this in-your-face $h!+ because they’re confident they can without repercussions.

By Fair Means or Foul
California law prohibiting gun shows at county fairs upheld by federal appeals court in unanimous decision [More]
Years ago, before the Great Western Gun Show was forced out of California, I recall being especially bitter over how it could attract tens of thousands of gun owners–yet a counter-protest against the Million Moms preceded by announcements and appeals throughout the “activist” network, only drew a few hundred. And out of all Los Angeles, we’d be lucky to get 50 to show up at an NRA Members’ Council meeting, and of those, maybe half a dozen– of the same people all the time– actually did any work.
Add the engineered demographic shift our “gun rights leaders” say doesn’t qualify for “single issue” consideration, and the traditional uselessness of California Republicans, and no other outcome was possible.
Appealing to the full Ninth Circuit won’t reverse things. That’s just a requisite step to denial, and then hoping the Supreme Court will hear it and that it still has a favorable majority.

Federal Appeals Court Engineered ‘Judicial Jailbreak’ by Approving Mass Release of Criminal Defendants: Dissenting Judge [More]
Is it wrong to fantasize about wild animals eating the ones releasing them?
What about hoping they’re fully aware of every aspect of the experience for as long as possible?

How About One Book a Month?

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has scheduled oral arguments Aug. 14 in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of California’s one-gun-per-month (OGM) purchase restriction, in a case known as Nguyen v. Bonta. [More]
Of course it’s an infringement.
Of course the Ninth Circuit knows it.
And of course they’re going to do everything in their power to stall things until Democrats get the national majority they need to remake SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
With your money.
It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over
You Have a Right to Privacy. Now Bend Over
Gun owners in the Golden State weren’t deprived of their Second Amendment nor privacy rights because the state only shares minimal biographical information with two research colleges, a Ninth Circuit panel found on Wednesday. [More]
Which will then be used by “The Hero of Medicine” to give cover for infringements to reach into all of their purchases, records, homes, safes…

We’re the Only Ones All Thumbs Enough
The Panel from Hell
The Butterfly Effect
Ninth Circuit to rehear Hawaii butterfly knife ban… In its en banc petition, the state only briefly touched on historical arms regulations in its pre-territorial days. However, the state Supreme Court recently harkened back to the Kingdom of Hawaii — which historically levied heavy regulations on weapons — while pushing back on the Second Amendment. [More]
We’re talking Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck’s case,
Judge ReTodd Eddins thinks “the spirit of Aloha” is the supreme law of the land there? I know they had history and tradition– did they have text? And does that spirit mean they’re bringing back Kapu?

Mark W. Smith thinks this may backfire.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!
All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.

Crazy Like a Fox
Crazy news out of California. the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: A three- judge panel has decided that they are going to literally, literally do nothing, do nothing for likely over a year when it comes to the case of Miller vs. Bonta… [Watch]

Off Again On Again
Judge Says New Gun Ban ‘Openly Defiant’ Of Supreme Court Rulings [More]
And remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse!
A Right Delayed
Delay of Game
California’s assault weapons ban will remain in effect while a court considers whether the 30-year-old law is unconstitutional. [More]
That a court thinks there’s anything to consider is our first clue that the game is rigged.
I think we all know that the Ninth Circuit is going to side with citizen disarmament and it’ll take SCOTUS strapping ’em on to get a proper ruling–provided the Republicans don’t blow ’24 and the composition of the High Court changes while the clock is running.
Not that that would settle it…

The Butterfly Effect
US Court of Appeal for Ninth Circuit declared Hawaii’s butterfly knife ban to be unconstitutional under the 2nd Amendment. Hawaii hires $2400 per hour attorney to try to save the BAN but 2nd Amendment briefs are terrific and should prevail. [Watch]
Major props for Alan Beck and Stephen Stamboulieh who routinely take to the field to battle mercenaries.

Flight of the Nazgûl
Ninth Circuit issues partial stay in California large-capacity gun magazine case – The four dissenting judges railed against the majority decision, calling the Ninth Circuit’s attitude about the Second Amendment “laughably absurd.” [More]
Except this is no laughing matter.
The Ninth Circuit wrote the book on Second Amendment absurdity going back to their “no individual right” days when the late, dunderheaded Cynthia Holcomb Hall wrote:
Moreover, even if we determined that Hickman had standing to sue for violation of the Second Amendment, his suit would nevertheless fail because the Second Amendment is not incorporated into the Bill of Rights.

The Ghost is Clear?
In Vanderstok federal case involving challenges to ATF’s rulemaking concerning Biden’s Ghost Gun regulations redefining frames and receivers, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to uphold the lower court’s preliminary injunction pending the outcome of this lawsuit. [Watch]
There’s still a way to go, but for now, it’s the antis that are set back.

Going Through the Motions
The district court judge in our lawsuit challenging the ATF’s “frame or receiver” rule granted Defense Distributed and 80 Percent Arms’ motions for injunction pending appeal, meaning it can’t be enforced against them while the case continues. [More]
If Founding Intent were applied to everything, the whole damn fraudulent house of cards would collapse.
