Gun Culture As A Check On Government
From Open Source Defense:
The value of gun ownership doesn’t come from firing the gun in anger. Most guns will never be used in that way. That’s the ultimate backstop, but most of the value of gun ownership is about the culture it builds.
Fourth Circuit Manipulating Procedure To Advance Anti-2A Rulings
From Ammoland:
Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and gun rights advocate, has long speculated about judicial misconduct within the Fourth Circuit. His suspicions were recently confirmed through a detailed dissent in the Bianchi case, revealing how anti-gun judges played dirty to suppress a pro-Second Amendment ruling.
This passage reveals that the initial panel had reached a pro-Second Amendment decision by December 2022. However, a dissenting judge delayed circulating their dissenting opinion, effectively stalling the release of the majority decision. This delay allowed another panel to issue an anti-Second Amendment ruling in a separate case (United States v. Price), which conflicted with the Bianchi decision. This conflict prompted the Fourth Circuit to rehear the Bianchi case en banc, ultimately leading to an anti-Second Amendment ruling. This strategic stalling and procedural maneuvering illustrate the manipulation within the court to suppress a favorable Second Amendment ruling.
Mexican Lawsuit Tossed Against 6 of 8 Gun Companies
From The Truth About Guns:
On Wednesday, a federal District Court judge in Boston dismissed six of the eight respondents from the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds. Companies dismissed from the lawsuit by U.S. District Judge Dennis Saylor included Sturm, Ruger and Company, Glock, Barrett Firearms, Colt’s Manufacturing, Century International Arms and Beretta. Companies still involved in the lawsuit include gunmaker Smith & Wesson and wholesaler Whitmer Public Safety Group.
New Jersey CCW Applications Soar After Bruen
From The Truth About Guns:
According to a recent article in the New Jersey Monitor, more than 41,000 New Jerseyans applied for carry permits in the two years since the Bruen decision. That number is more than 25-times the number of citizens—1,588—who applied for a permit in the two years prior to the court ruling.
Anti-Gun Courts’ Dishonest Theory: No Right To Buy A Gun
From The Truth About Guns:
The ability to freely approach the gun counter to legally purchase a firearm is paramount to exercising the Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. There is no “keeping” of firearms if there is no legal right to lawfully acquire those same firearms. The ramifications of this flawed legal reasoning are self-evident. The government could simply ban the buying (and selling) of firearms and therefore eviscerate the Second Amendment all without infringing upon the right.
Bill Would Ban Excise Taxes On Guns and Ammo
From Bearing Arms:
Idaho Sen. James Risch and California Rep. Darrel Issa are the primary sponsors of the “Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act”, which Risch says would block states from imposing new excise taxes on the sale of firearms and ammunition that channels the revenue to gun control efforts.
In a press release, Issa stated, “For years, extreme state policies and governors, including from my home state, have targeted the fundamental Second Amendment rights of our fellow Americans. California’s new imposition of a ‘sin tax’ on firearms and ammunition equates a core constitutional freedom with gambling or drug use. Enough is enough. That’s why Sen. Risch and I are joining forces to introduce this key legislation and stop any state tax that seeks to raise the price of self-defense out of reach for any American.”
LaPierre Banned From NRA Position For 10 Years
From Ammoland:
On Monday, a New York judge banned National Rifle Association (NRA) former Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre from working with the organization for the next decade while declining to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the gun rights group.
Senator Lee Introduces Bill To Deregulate Suppressors
From The Truth About Guns:
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing (SHUSH) Act yesterday, a legislative proposal aimed at reducing federal regulation of firearm suppressors. The bill is designed to simplify the purchase process for law-abiding citizens and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles. Senate cosponsors include Senators Rick Scott (R-FL), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and John Cornyn (R-TX).
How Will The Chevron Decision Affect Gun Owners
From Ammoland:
“Hopefully, it tones down all of the administrative agencies because it returns power to the judiciary. It should tone down the ATF just like the rest. They can no longer adjudicate their own rules and say, ‘we’re right because we said we’re right.’
Lawsuit Blaming Daniel Defense For Mass Shooting Dismissed
From Bearing Arms:
In her initial complaint, Karen Lowy and her attorneys claimed that the companies “have deceptively and unfairly marketed their assault rifles, rifle accessories, and ammunition in ways designed to appeal to the impulsive, risk-taking tendencies of civilian adolescent and post-adolescent males—the same category of consumers Defendants have watched, time after time, commit the type of mass shooting that unfolded again at the Edmund Burke School.”
Now a federal judge has thrown out the lawsuit, ruling that Lowy failed to back up those claims with facts.
