DOJ Defends Disarming Catholics In Marijuana Gun Case
From The Truth About Guns:
Now, in the case of US v. Harrison, the Justice Department has filed a brief arguing that laws disarming Catholics were righteous and serve as a valid historical analogue in support of the present-day ban on marijuana users possessing firearms.
IRS and ATF Raid Gun Store, Take Customer Records
From Gateway Pundit:
In an unprecedented move, twenty armed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents carried out a raid on a gun store in Great Falls, Montana, seizing all Form 4473 – documents that record buyer’s information during firearms transactions.
Tom Van Hoose, owner of Highwood Creek Outfitters, alleges that he has been under constant surveillance by state and federal agencies for over two years, KRTV reported.
Slate Begrudgingly Admits Felons Should Have Gun Rights
Like a growing number of public defenders, liberal judges like Freeman, Ambro, Greenaway, and Montgomery-Reeves may think that the Second Amendment can be repurposed as a weapon against over-policing and mass incarceration. If upheld by the Supreme Court, Range will certainly be a boon to the criminal defense bar, as well as a source of immense confusion for prosecutors. The majority’s standard is extraordinarily vague: It acknowledges that some people may be disarmed for committing a felony, but a person “like Range” could not. How can judges tell when someone falls on Range’s side of the line?
Over Half of Protestant Churches Have Armed Members
From Ammoland:
The revelation comes 3 ½ years after a gunman opened fire at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, only to be shot dead by armed parishioner Jack Wilson just a few seconds later. The shooting, which was live streamed at the time—the video warped across social media—shows at least a half-dozen armed citizens in the church sanctuary with drawn guns after Wilson fired the single shot that stopped killer Keith Thomas Kinnunen before he could wreak more havoc.
The Case For AR15 Story Hour
From Handwaving Freakoutery:
Here’s the idea.
Get a guy in a Hawaiian shirt, a desert camo plate carrier, a helmet, night vision goggles, and an unloaded and safely carried AR-15 battle rifle, to sit on a chair in a library and read kids books to them, totally unrelated to guns. Fox in Socks, Berenstain Bears, whatever. Acclimate the kids to being around an AR-15, the way DQSH acclimates children to transgenders. That’s it. Nothing more.
Fifth Circuit Refuses “Prohibited Persons” Argument To Deny Gun Rights
The Fifth Circuit panel dismissed the DOJ’s assertion that the Second Amendment only applies to “law-abiding citizens,” noting that while that phrase does appear in both the Heller and Bruen decisions, it was used by justices as shorthand “in explaining that its holding (that the amendment codifies an individual right to keep and bear arms) should not “be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings.” The text of the Second Amendment, on the other hand, specifically notes that the right to keep and bear arms is a right “of the people”; an important distinction given the government’s argument that virtually any criminal act, no matter how minor or severe, could result in a lifetime loss of Second Amendment rights.
Third Circuit Affirms Gun Rights For Misdemeanor Conviction
From The Truth About Guns:
Range sued, arguing that he’d been wrongly deprived of his right to keep and bear arms. Today, an en banc Third Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Mr. Range, restoring his Second Amendment rights.
NY Attacks First and Second Amendment With One Law
From Ammoland:
New York is tackling the 3D-printed gun community by trying to ban the 3D printing of firearms and prevent the sharing of computer-aided design (CAD) files.
New York State Senator Brad Hoylman is sponsoring the bill. The Democrat says he wants to “attack the manufacture” of 3D Printed firearms. It would not only make it a felony to print guns but also ban the intentional sharing of files, raising First Amendment concerns. Writings like the Anarchist Cookbook and the guide to build a Luty machine gun have been determined to be protected speech. Many believe that these files are also protected speech.
Hunter Biden Lawyers Make Pro 2A Defense
From The Truth About Guns:
If by some remote chance Biden-the-younger is actually charged by the Justice Department (don’t hold your breath), tens of millions of users of marijuana in states where it’s been legalized will have Hunter F-ing Biden arguing that under Bruen, the federal law banning gun sales and ownership by drug users is unconstitutional.
Biden’s lawyers aren’t stupid. They’ve surveyed the legal landscape and know that’s the direction things are going since the Supreme Court’s decision was handed down.
Felons and Gun Rights
From Ammoland:
The number of crimes now considered to be “felonies” has slowly increased over the decades. The Second Amendment guarantees the right of “the people” to keep and bear arms, and it is not clear that this right is extinguished simply because someone has been convicted of a felony. The language of the Second Amendment does not exclude felons from its protection, and it is concerning that judges are interpreting it that way.
New Jersey Bans Almost Every Gun Because Of Poorly Written Legislation
From The Truth About Guns:
The bill was ostensibly intended to outlaw firearms without serial numbers. It banned homemade guns, 3D printed guns, even possession of the files for running a 3D printer or CNC machine for making firearms. It even outlawed slingshots, fer Chrissakes.
I talked to Mr. Nappen this afternoon and he tells me the law is quite clear that for a firearm to be legal in New Jersey, it has to have a serial number and the serial number must have been imprinted by a federally licensed firearm manufacturer.
That means your Daisy BB gun — which under the state’s expansive and idiotic gun control laws is actually considered a firearm — may have a serial number on it, but Daisy isn’t a federally licensed gun maker. As a result that Red Ryder in your kid’s closet now makes you a felon.
As Gun Rights Continue To Win Gun Controllers Grasp At Straws
From The Federalist:
Gun control advocates have become so dependent on emotional arguments they often seem incapable of offering rational ones. So, I was eager to read a new Bloomberg column (via The Washington Post) headlined, “The Second Amendment Allows a Ban on the AR-15.”
