Punt, Pass and Kick

Instead of taking on the next frontier of firearms regulations, the justices tossed a highly anticipated review of prohibitions on gun ownership for felons. [More]

The distancing from Bruen continues.

As noted before, the only thing the Supreme Court has to do to let infringements stand is… nothing.

Back to Square One

Gee, I wonder what happens next.

A New York State of Mind

The New York State Senate passed legislative measures to advance responsible and effective firearm regulation. The proposed legislation will provide funding for anti-violence education in schools, add reasonable restrictions to the open carry of long guns, establish a ten-day waiting period for firearm purchases, establish a voluntary waiver of the right to purchase firearms, hold firearm industry members accountable for unreasonable conduct, and expand the list of who can petition for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs).

Here’s to the day when such public bragging of deprivation of rights under color of law is seen as a confession of guilt not protected by the Speech and Debate clause…

Playing the Trump Card

SAF DECLARES ‘WE WILL DEFEND DONALD TRUMP’S GUN RIGHTS!’ [More]

Between this and Hunter Biden, we may see some walls come tumbling down.

We talked about Trump being a “prohibited person” here and here, and I’ve got a Firearms News piece scheduled to come out today that launches from that point, but I gotta confess, there’s a part of me that feels like rubbing “take the guns first, due process later” in his face.

Both ‘Sides’ Ignoring the Instinctive Truth

Likening drug users to people who are “mentally ill and dangerous,” the ruling says barring them from owning firearms is not unconstitutional on its face. [More]

vs.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just said that the felon in possession of firearms statute may not apply to nonviolent felons. [Watch]

They did it!

They missed the barn!

DOJ Reconsiders Denial of Documents in Hunter Biden-Related NICS Permanent Entry Consent Suit

Does the DOJ have the power to create new classes of “prohibited persons” outside of what is statutorily defined? [More]

First they said they had no pages. Now they say they have 350. So what’s on those pages, and will any establish they are authorized to redefine”prohibited person” disqualifiers?

The Wrong Question

Because it’s really about something else.

Mr. Pynchon understands.

ATF Given an Inch, Takes a Mile

NSSF Complains There’s Not Enough ‘Gun Control’

Simply put, “gun control” doesn’t work, and it’s astounding that the head of the firearms manufacturer trade association is publicly insisting that it does. [More]

Industry CYA at the expense of our rights is unacceptable.

Making the Grade

A 10-year-old California boy who was shot over the weekend died because the shooter, also said to be 10 years old, angrily opened fire after losing a bicycle race, the victim’s mother said Tuesday… His father, Arkete Davis, 53, was booked on suspicion of possession of a firearm by a felon, criminal storage of a firearm, carrying a stolen loaded firearm in a vehicle, child endangerment and acting as an accessory to a crime after the fact, according to inmate records. [More]

That’s the best argument for disarming you and me I’ve ever heard.

Which doesn’t say much for all the others…

Hunter Biden Second Amendment Defense Could Upend Democrat Agenda on Guns

If Biden’s motion ultimately prevails, other categories of prohibited persons become vulnerable to challenge, as well as records required to be kept by Federal Firearms Licensees, which themselves have no historical counterpart. The possibilities for reclaiming rights seem boundless. [More]

It would be deliciously ironic if, in saving his own skin, this degenerate saved ours…

Why We Must Punish Everyone

“He would not have been able to access that gun if we had these current laws in place,” Glenn said in an interview with The Associated Press that took place outside the Supreme Court. [More]

Why aren’t they telling us his Colorado TRO said he couldn’t get a gun?

And if “prohibited persons” can’t get guns, what’s all this about?

Not that reality and logic could ever compete with heartstring-tugging anecdotes…

Prosecuting Trump on Gun Charge Could Backfire ‘Bigly’

If they go after him on it, Democrats know such a charge would almost certainly make it to the Supreme Court. Considering all the complications the Bruen text, history, and tradition standard is throwing in the path of gun prohibitionists in the inferior courts, such charges – like those against Hunter Biden – could very well find such edicts unlawful violations of the Second Amendment.

Special Counsel Jack Smith makes a threat his masters may be afraid for him to make good on.
