The problem is - decent people that love their country; those that appreciate their freedoms, and hold their liberties dear...
...have jobs.
We have bills to pay.
We also have responsibilities.
We are accountable for those responsibilities to friends and family.
We have neither the spare time or the colossal amounts of money needed to engage in sustained lawfare against city hall.
...and they know that.


So instead, we just shit post on the internet in an attempt to show people how full of shit our government processes are. To maaaaybe convince the few folks left sitting on the fence that they have been bamboozled by pop culture...
...or at least to just mercilessly troll those sad soulless shit sacks that have plenty of time to peacefully protest by setting police cars on fire.

Box, I really think you should consider your own podcast. You could be bigger than Joe Rogan.😃

Box is right...the average Joe doesn't have the time nor money to fight the DOJ.

However, if some organizations go after the ATF I hope their discovery includes everything about the Las Vegas shooting.

4th circuit upholds AR-15 ban.
SCOTUS will likely hear the appeal.

I hope SCOTUS rules favorably before Queen Harris declares an executive action, then uses her corporate funded congress to impeach enough of the conservatives justices to allow her to appoint enough radicals to reregulate the 2d amendment from the bench

That decision took an awful lot of air to say:
"No. BFYTW."

That would be the new summary judgement du jour.

8th Circuit Spanks Pistol Brace Ban

Here's the decision.

The dissenting opinion is actually interesting in that he seems to be saying (to my IANAL eye) "SCOTUS has already spanked ATF over these capricious rulemaking decisions so why is it necessary for us to do this?"

Nonetheless, the previous action is being remanded to lower for reconsideration in light of this decision and the previous SCOTUS ruling on the regime's shenanigans.

Thank God the Supreme Court Justices were appointed by DJT. This will go all the way up, and hopefully (yes, hope isn’t a course of action) the, at a minimum, “pre-86” BS will go away and I can get my drill press out, even if I have to add to my stamp collection. But, with the 2nd seeming to be climbing to the same status as the 1st (as it damn well should be), the entire NFA may be gone before I am……

Gov Appeal

So, because I’m assuming this was a criminal case brought by the gov, would an “appeal” by the prosecution be allowed? Would double jeopardy laws apply here?

Couldn't happen to a more deserving infringement.

Bare minimum would be to remove suppressors from the NFA. Imagine the boom in the suppressor industry if you could walk into a store and buy one without any paperwork.

Federal Judge Grants Preliminary Injunction In Challenge To California’s Non-Resident

SAF Scores Victory In California Non-Resident Carry Case

Quote:
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners, in a challenge of California’s ban on non-resident concealed carry, won a victory when a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction in the case.

U.S. District Court Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett, a 2022 Joe Biden appointee, granted in part and denied in part the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction. The state has 21 days to file a response, and within 30 days plaintiffs must “meet and confer” with the state and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department “to submit a proposed order entering the preliminary injunction consistent with the specific findings” made by the court order.

SAF is joined by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California and seven private citizens.
Notably absent from the list again...the NRA (Not Relevant Anymore).
