A Right Deliberately Delayed

As the saying goes, ‘A right delayed is a right denied,’ and the state has denied untold numbers of citizens their right to obtain firearms for almost two weeks. This amounts to a mass deprivation of civil rights under color of law. [More]

Let’s hope one of the functions of the Trump Justice Department will be to go after such violations– like we tried to get phony John Ashcroft to do many years ago.

I’ll have to include that thought in a Firearms News piece I’m working on about a Trump to-do list.

Credit Where Due

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners. [More]

And there’s no link for this yet, but it just came in from SAF:

Am I reading these wrong?

We’ve done this before. Let’s not do it any more.

Rights-Free Zone Challenge

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal court challenge of Maryland’s restrictive “sensitive places” gun control law have filed an appellants’ brief with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. [More]

So the Founders intended “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless we tell them ‘Except here, here, and here…’?”

On with the Show!

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year. [More]

Having personally seen California gun show attendees ignore attempts to preserve RKBA, I have to say their apathy has brought much of their plight upon themselves. The same ones probably haven’t contributed a dime to this case.

MA Gun License Challenged

The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have filed an amicus brief with the Massachusetts Supreme Court in support of a New Hampshire man who is challenging the Massachusetts permit law. [More]

Hey, waddyaknow? NRA shared credit!

When did they start doing that?

An Age-Old Question

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s prohibition against allowing young adults aged 18 to 20 from acquiring a license to carry a firearm (LTCF) for personal protection. The case is known as Brown v. Paris. [More]

If nothing else, it’s a mockery of U.S. Code:

The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age…

Drilling down further, anyone see anything in here about a license? Yeah, I know, increments. Just sayin’…

Paradise Reclaimed

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court supporting Hawaii resident Christopher L. Wilson’s petition for a writ of certiorari in his challenge of the Hawaii state Supreme Court’s decree that individual citizens in the Aloha State do not have the right to carry firearms for self-defense outside of their homes. [More]

If government can say you don’t have it there, it can say you don’t have it anywhere.

Hunter Guilty

Hunter Biden found guilty on all counts in gun trial [More]

Here’s a novel thought I’ll offer first to Alan Gottlieb:

If you want to generate major news that will knock the Democrats on their butts, and do the right thing as far as 2A purity is concerned, offer to “defend Hunter Biden’s gun rights” in addition to Trump’s.

UPDATE

Looks like Donald Trump has a similar idea:

‘Don’t worry, Joe – I will Save your son after I get elected (for the third time)!’

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.

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.
