One step closer to the NFA being eliminated.

https://www.ksnt.com/news/local-news...20the%2520case.

This case is the brass-ring in the keystone of the .gov’s untenable assault on the 2A. If the judge (s) can read and comprehend the English language, then the NFA is akin to a tax on churches. But, hey, here’s to hopeful thinking…. And hope isn’t a COA.

Idaho leads coalition of majority of states in amicus brief advocating for granting of cert for AR ban case:

If SCOTUS grants cert, and rules consistent with Bruen, the “assault weapon” ban issue will be dead.

Nice news, GC, thanks for the brief link.

Never, EVER mess around with “Rule 11 (b)”…… either in court or on the street, 11 (b) will f-up your day!

That's great, lol.

NAGR submits excellent amicus brief advocating for SCOTUS to accept cert in AR-15 ban case:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketP...us%20Brief.pdf

Specifically, they emphasize that the AR-15 is MORE protected by the Second Amendment than handguns because it is better suited to resist tyranny, the issue with which the Founders were quite preoccupied.
They also go into the problems with waiting for a circuit split in Second Amendment cases.

Fed Appeals Court Strikes Down Illinois AWB
 

News article about it.

IL was enjoined from enforcement but with a 30-day stay so IL can decide whether to appeal. They may not do that, given that SCOTUS already frowned at IL over the same case and sent it back to "clarify" (again) what was meant by all the other decisions from them.

:cool:

Early Christmas Present
 

EXSUM: Man struggling to get by with wife & raising 3 kids understates his salary in application for food stamps. Turns out later that conviction - making a false statement - yields a "Denied" when trying to purchase a firearms. District Court upholds, but Third Circuit reverses with the following:

Full decision here if you've nothing else to do.
:cool:

<Clap, clap>

Nationwide carry.
We’ll see if it goes anywhere.

Pondering how much things have been improved (court cases, etc.) and how much of the same ground has still to be plowed with The Letter and this thread now 12 Years down the road.
:rolleyes:

12 YEARS! Time flys when you're having fun.

5th Circuit rules that 18-20 year olds can buy handguns from FFL:

My daughter was able to take her concealed carry course and carry here inn Texas at 19.

18 and up can carry concealed here.

Good deal. Lowering the age of refusenik in the victimhood department.

Machine gun possession charge dismissed on 2nd Amendment grounds:

Too bad it was an as-applied (narrow) challenge, but we're going to see this again. :cool:

Executive Order to Protect Second Amendment

Unfortunately, this order only covers what the Biden Admin did and ignores what previous administrations/Congresses (including Trump '45) have done!

Commentary

Indeed. I'm from Missouri when it comes to Bondi. I'd like to see her report submitted to POTUS in a month be completely public. She's previously been a fan of ex parte red flag laws and we know, all too well, that being a "staunch law & order type" often doesn't equate with a regard for individual liberty.

South Dakota Campus Carry Progresses to Gov Desk
 

Caught this morning on Breitbart:

:cool:

Glad I moved here.
It's a refreshing change from the communist rule back in Colorado and New Mexico.

Alabama and Georgia don't need Gun permits for CCW or open carry. I see open carry some people but mostly people are allowed to CCW for any thing that they can hide. I go to the different ranges to shoot indoor and outdoor and they get really crowded. I haven't seen but a few gun accidental shootings.
There is a couple things that I don'd understand and that is gun manufactures that make their guns without a safety, and people who carry their guns IWB orOWB with a round in the chamber. I understand home defense.
I remember when their were revolvers and the gun accidents were more common because people carried loaded revolvers.

After being on the defensive for over 2 centuries, the 2nd Amendment is back on the offensive.

Suppressor Issue
 

Reported from Pres. Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill"

As reported out from the bill text passed early this AM in the House (Senate version still to be tweaked):
:munchin

‘Biggest Second Amendment victory in my lifetime is one step closer to happening.’

https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/...-bill-n1228679

Looking at the bill text I posted before this, I hope the Senate tweaks things to get it completely de-listed from ANYthing rather than just making the 'tax' zero. It should be a bubble-pak item hanging next to the Outers cleaning kits and the Hoppe's #9.

DOJ appears to be throwing the case (in favor of the 2nd Amendment).
Unsure how judges deal with something like this.

https://assets.nationbuilder.com/fir...pdf?1748040757

Wow, it would be nice to see the Peterson case go in favor of freedom. Then the statement "In the view of the United States, the Second Amendment protects firearm accessories and components..." would be a great precedent to overturn the craziness coming out of the Colorado legislature lately (i.e., requiring 'special' training for semi-autos that take magazines, and the 15 round magazine cap).

As happy as I am to see the suppressor issue moving forward, I'm still not a fan of the giant omnibus bills with a bunch of unrelated issues moving through Congress. I'd much prefer to see bills with a single issue or at least several closely related issues, primarily so both Congress and the public know what's actually being addressed by the bills.

SCOTUS slaps down lawfare against gun manufacturers:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinion...-1141_lkgn.pdf

Our shitty substandard unethical immoral elected representatives are the single best defense of legislation like this...

Legal precedence is legal precedence and the second a manufacturer can be held legally accountable for bad people doing bad things with their products - the family of Mary Jo Kopechne should be encouraged to sue the shit out of General Motors - straight into the poor house for those mother fuckers...
...for allowing Ted Kennedy to operate an Oldsmobile.

Feds file amicus brief in assault weapon/magazine ban case:

'Bout bloody time. Long hiatus.

NFA is challenged:

https://www.gunowners.org/wp-content...ul-Lawsuit.pdf

Excellent. Thanks.
:cool:

good to hear - we only have a couple years to roll back decades of tyranny before the domocrats work their way back in and start fucking things up again

If this is successful and the registration requirements are enjoined then the table is set for elimination of the remainder of the NFA.
Eliminate the tax = eliminate the registry.

Murdock v. Pennsylvania should be able to kill the remaining taxes.
