Friends of the Court vs. Friends of the Devil

Attorney General McCuskey leads SCOTUS amicus brief challenging D.C.’s high-capacity magazine and assault weapons ban [More]

This…

And significantly better than and different from a case we discussed yesterday:

III.Courts Are Incorrectly Analogizing …11

A.The Second Amendment Goes Beyond The Individual Right To Self-Defense … 12

B.Narrowing Heller To Only Self-Defense Leads To Poor Analogical Reasoning … 15

Ignoring Core Purpose Makes 2nd Amendment More Vulnerable to Infringements: The Militia Aspect, Part 1 and Part 2.

The only question left: Why can’t Pam Bondi file an amicus brief supporting this?

So… Unconstitutional Carry…?

Presidential Actions MAKING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL Executive Orders March 28, 2025… (v) collaborating with appropriate local government entities to provide assistance to increase the speed and lower the cost of processing concealed carry license requests in the District of Columbia; [More]

The Surly Bonds of Earth

The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!! [More]

To my admittedly untrained eye, and I’m evidently not the only one, it looked deliberate. Am I wrong to question?

We need information on the principals involved.

Life in the Mehtaverse

Oath Keepers founder Rhodes is barred from entering Washington or Capitol without court permission [More]

I guess that’s the difference between “commute” and “grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon”…

That said, it’s difficult to understand how this is anything more than an in-your-face by a leftist immigrant…

And, oh, look: The Justice Department can use its resources to protect rights.

When it wants to.

The Way Things Oughta Be

How Congress can end DC’s lawfare and one-party federal bias [More]

What a logical and insightful plan Glenn H. Reynolds has laid out for us.

Meaning there ain’t a chance in hell the string-pullers will ever let it out of the “conservative” echo chamber, let alone allow their political minions, who wouldn’t be inclined anyway, to do anything with it unless it meant more power for themselves…

We’re the Only Ones Opening Fire Enough

As the sedan approached the agent, a confrontation occurred between the agent and the car’s occupants. The agent discharged their service weapon, but there is currently no evidence to indicate anyone was struck… [More]

How close? Did the occupants fire? Did he at least hit the car? And since we’re talking a Democrat administration, are the suspects “overrepresented in the justice system”?

A Public/Private Partnership

This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]

Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.

I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

We’re the Only Ones Uncommandeered Enough

Sonia Sotomayor saved from danger: Supreme Court Justice’s bodyguard shoots gun-wielding suspect who tried to steal his car outside her DC home [More]

Not that she wants you to be able to do that:

“In sum, the Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense.” — Sotomayor, with the dissent in McDonald

A Matter of Priorities

The Washington D.C. prosecutor’s office that targeted January 6 protesters, including a 71-year-old great-grandmother known as the “Praying Grandma,” decided to drop charges of kidnapping and murder against a young woman who carjacked a vehicle carrying a sick woman then crashed the car, resulting in the sick woman’s death.

Can there be a bigger accountability-avoiding scam than “Confirmed by voice vote“?
