The Latest Mood Swing

The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has continued to attack Missouri’s Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), treating it much the same way the Biden administration did. That decision is striking, because it puts Bondi’s DOJ at odds with both the text of the Constitution and President Trump’s own executive order directing agencies to protect Second Amendment rights.

But…but…but…

Perhaps it’s time to update the lithium dosage…

I Got Them SAPA Blues?

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]

So, did Hacchim, Yaakov, Michael, and Jeffrey not get the memo?

Or does acknowledgment that “the United States will not oppose when this case returns to district court” mean they don’t want to cede procedural precedent, but they’re going to stop fighting to force cooperation with infringements?

Who’s qualified to weigh in and explain?

And Now, a Brief Commercial Message…

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a very innovative argument in the matter of Williams v. United States, yet another challenge to 18 USC Sec. 922(g)(1) the ban on felons possessing firearms. Today, we take a look at a crafty argument based upon the Commerce Clause and how, if accepted, could undo dozens of Federal gun laws. [Watch]

Good. That said, a review of text, history, and tradition of the Commerce Clause at the time of ratification would not have supported the expansion and usurpation of unintended powers to allow the feds to get their hooks into citizen disaramament, treasonous subsequent stare decisis saying they could notwithstanding.

And raising Tenth Amendment arguments isn’t exactly “new”:

Also, it’s helpful to keep in mind that the MFFA and its clones are really a states’ rights exercise, a challenge to federal commerce clause power on Tenth Amendment and other grounds. It is more about federal power than firearms.

The Wrong Side

DOJ just asked the Supreme Court for a THIRD extension in its Biden-era lawsuit attacking Missouri’s Second Amendment Protection Act, which prevents local law enforcement from working with ATF. @AGPamBondi needs to reverse course & support the Second Amendment. [More]

Bipolar, I tell ya…

No Hypocrisy

The Anti-ATF Commandeering Act has the intended purpose in its title to “prohibit the provision of material aid and support for enforcement of federal firearms laws.” House Bill 1481 bases its justification on the finding that “the United States Supreme Court has long held that states do not have to participate in the enforcement or effectuation of federal acts or regulatory programs.” [More]

So, what about states that refuse to help ICE deport illegals? Isn’t it the same thing?

The Arkansas bill supports “the supreme Law of the Land.” So-called “sanctuary” laws undermine it.

The Devils We Know

“The devil you know,” he remarked, may be preferable to sprawling bureaucracies with even more power to interfere with lawful gun ownership. [More]

Couldn’t have said it better myself…

As for “ATF, when properly managed, serves a legitimate purpose—targeting violent offenders and assisting the firearms industry in compliance,” first, compliance with what that doesn’t run afoul of “shall not be infringed”?

As for “violent offenders,” there are three crimes the feds are Constitutionally delegated power to combat, and unless the baddies are committing treason, counterfeiting, or engaged in piracy, stopping them is a power ceded to the states by the Tenth Amendment.

Everything else is usurpation compounded with corrupt stare decisis.
