Man Arrested In NYC For Defending Woman With Gun
From Bearing Arms:
New York police have identified and arrested the person they say drew a gun and fired two shots at a man trying to strong-arm rob a woman in a Manhattan subway station this week, and a judge has ordered the defendant to remain behind bars unless or until he can come up with $10,000 for bail.
43-year-old John Rote was arrested without incident at his workplace on Wednesday afternoon, and while his public defender attorney argued that he should be set free until trial, citing his lack of criminal history and long-time employment, the judge overseeing his initial court appearance declined her request.
Rahimi Case Argued At The Supreme Court
From Reason:
The government can disarm “dangerous individuals” without violating the Second Amendment, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the Supreme Court on Tuesday. J. Matthew Wright, the lawyer arguing the other side of United States v. Rahimi, agreed with that general principle. But he did not agree that the federal law Prelogar was defending, which criminalizes gun possession by people who are subject to domestic violence restraining orders, fits within that tradition.
The Conspiracy To Use International Law To Attack Gun Rights
From Bearing Arms:
The parents of a student killed in the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida have teamed up with Brady’s former chief litigator to file a “first-of-its-kind” complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging that “US gun policy violates basic human rights law” and deprived the Joaquin Oliver of his right to life.
In this case, Lowy and plaintiffs Manuel and Patricia Oliver, who founded the anti-gun group Change the Ref after their son was murdered, aren’t asking a U.S. court to rule that the Second Amendment is a violation of human rights. Instead, they’re taking their argument to an international body that has no real jurisdiction over the United States.
Judge Issues Nationwide Pause On ATF Pistol Brace “Rule”
From Ammoland:
Late Wednesday, a Texas-based Federal District Court judge issued a nationwide stay preventing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from enforcing its rule on pistols equipped with stabilizing devices (2021R-08F).
Flagstaff AZ Bans Ad For Shooting Range
From The Federalist:
The Flagstaff, Arizona City Council that barred a local shooting range owner from taking out ads in the city’s airport, as he’s done for years, is now plotting a policy proposal that could permanently ban the licensed federal firearms dealer from marketing his business to tourists.
“It’s especially frustrating for us because it’s not a Second Amendment issue, it’s strictly a First Amendment issue,” Timberline Firearms & Training Founder and Owner Rob Wilson told The Federalist.
Dems Want To Ban Bulk Ammo Sales
From Guns.com:
The 13-page Ammo Act would echo California’s background check requirement – under threat of a fine of up to $250,000 – but use the FBI’s National Instant Check System as a vetting database. To help fund the massive increase in checks, the bill authorizes $150 million in additional funds for NICS. This would eliminate home delivery in most cases, forcing those who buy ammo online to have it delivered to a local FFL for transfer, inevitably with a fee. Those completing a check would have to show a valid identification and include their name, address, and signature on a form devised by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Further, the proposal would restrict what it deems to be “bulk ammunition sales” which it defines as “more than 100 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition or more than 1,000 rounds of any other caliber of ammunition in any period of five consecutive days.”
First Responders Are The People Who Are Present When An Incident Takes Place
From Ammoland:
In reality, those professionals customarily considered “first responders” are, in fact, second or third responders to dangerous situations. It is critical to the Second Amendment movement that it is understood that the real “first” responders are almost always ordinary American citizens. The citizen who first encounters the person having a heart attack in the mall; the citizen who sees the criminal holding up a cashier across the street; the citizen attacked by a violent thug; the citizen who notices that the neighboring house is on fire: these are the true first responders.
People’s Politics Are Being Shattered By Reality
From Bearing Arms:
“To be honest with you, I hate guns,” Peter, 76, shouted over the sound of gunshots Saturday afternoon as his wife took aim at a target at Gun World in Deerfield Beach. “But it’s better us than someone else.”
The Jewish couple had arrived for their Intro to Handguns lesson with Florida Firearms Training about noon. Peter, who asked to keep his last name private for safety reasons, had shot a rifle decades ago; his wife had never shot a gun before. By the end of the day they would be returning home with one.
Rare Pancho Villa Colt For Auction
From Rock Island Auction:
This beautiful and historic Colt Single Action Army revolver is inscribed to legendary Mexican Revolution leader Francisco “Pancho” Villa and is accompanied by multiple factory letters starting with a letter from July 2, 1958. The letters confirm that the revolver was the sole gun of this type sold to Shapleigh Hardware Co. in St. Louis, Missouri, and shipped to City Loan & Jewelry Company on April 18, 1917, in factory order 313.
Are Gun Rights Are Winning Because Of California?
From MSN:
Fast-forward to 19 October 2023 and a case titled Miller v. Bonta, and, better late than never, that aforementioned common sense finally prevailed, as San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez ruled, based upon the U.S. Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) June 2022 Bruen decision, that – hey, whaddya know – the AWCA was indeed a violation of the Second Amendment and therefore unconstitutional. As Reuters correspondent Nate Raymond reports, “Benitez issued an injunction blocking the law, but put that on hold for 10 days so the state could appeal…Benitez in his decision wrote that there were “no founding era dead ringers or historical twins” for California’s assault weapons ban, and that the state could point to no historical laws before it adopted its ban that restricted rifles as they advanced technologically.”
Anti-Gunners Now Attacking The First Amendment
From Bearing Arms:
There’ve been a couple of recent examples of this despicable assault on the freedom of speech in California, where federal judges have struck down laws prohibiting the advertising of any “firearm-related product in a manner that is designed, intended, or reasonably appears to be attractive to minors” and a ban on gun shows on state property that was found to have violated the First Amendment rights of both gun owners and vendors. But the attacks on gun owners’ speech aren’t limited to the anti-2A extremists in Sacramento. As J.D. Tuccille documents at Reason, local officials in Flagstaff, Arizona are trying to silence a local gun shop owner by blocking his ads at the local airport.
Supreme Court To Hear Bump Stock Case
From The Truth About Guns:
Time to lay in a heavier supply of popcorn. Today the Supreme Court granted cert in Cargill v. Garland, the case challenging the Trump era bump stock ban. The about face by the ATF following the Las Vegas mass shooting came at the direction of the Trump administration. ATF, which had previously approved sales of bump fire stocks as legal accessories used regulatory fiat to do a 180 and reclassify them as machine guns.
NSSF Creates New Super PAC
From Protect Liberty PAC:
The Protect Liberty Political Action Committee (PAC) launched with the express goal of electing candidates who are dedicated to preserving and protecting liberty, freedoms and the Constitutional rights of all Americans. This especially includes the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Protect Liberty PAC will take a leading role and be more dynamic and outspoken in the electoral process in order to protect the firearm industry, beginning at the ballot box.
FTX Scandal Was Actually About Money Laundering For Elections
From The Federalist:
Throughout their investigation, federal prosecutors discovered that SBF unlawfully stole and used FTX customer funds to “make more than $100 million in political campaign contributions before the 2022 U.S. midterm elections.” Central to this scheme were two members of FTX’s “inner circle“: Nishad Singh and Ryan Salame, both of whom acted as “straw donors” to donate money on SBF’s behalf. The ultimate goal, according to a communique authored by Salame, was to “‘weed-out’ anti-crypto Democratic and Republican lawmakers.”
