Guide to interstate transport of firearms

Well thanks for those briefs. Having read them, now I need a roll of duct tape because my freaking head is going to explode.

Do we have a link to the Port Authority's response? I'd love to see their master work of legal fiction.

OK, the trial judge should be impeached for incompetence, and the costs of all follow-on court matters (and legal fees) charged to him....

And the Port Authority clowns should just be fired...

Oddly enough, the TSA goon was the only LE mentioned that did anything right. I guess that proves the saw about a blind squirrel occasionally finding an acorn.

Oh, and once this case is successfully settled, how about a class action against the Port Authority for those 50+ a year arrests their clowns make? Lets see, one goon and 50, how many goons are there that are ignorant and indifferent to the laws they presumably swore to uphold?

Thanks for posting those.

It would be nice if we had a federal Department of Justice that was as interested in preventing state and local governments from blatantly and repeatedly obstructing federal rights as it is in creating politically motivated investigations of the previous administration.

Mr. Hardy

What is your assessment of the chances of winning this?

Thanks,

Every time I read something like this, it reinforces my conclusion that there needs to be one Federal firearms law - and a preemption act forbidding state or local laws. Violation of which would be treated as rebellion against the United States - and suppressed accordingly.

One word Mike: Hell-no.

Ok, technically two words. First, under what section of the constitution do you plan to employ such a law? Second, do you really want just one point of control for the hoplophobes to attack? Right now, they have to wage 51 (states plus federal or 57 plus federal if you are Obama) battles and we are winning.

Is there any reason to hope that New York will stop doing these arrests if it loses the case?

Can the plaintiff sue the State for "false arrest" or "infringing on civil rights" or something else?

In other words, can New York be made to pay through the nose for this travesty?

Briefed a year ago and no ruling yet?

Isn't deprivation of civil rights under color of authority a federal felony?

This is the same crap the the New York Port Authority and MassPort at Logan were doing 30 years ago. That one generation of arrogant and incompetent fools should breed replacements to be more incompetent, more arrogant and unqualified disgrace as a Mall Ninja.
