James O'Keefe strikes again!
This time he gets undercover video of a Clinton delegate describing how to work for a gun ban.
Leg history of the 1927 Federal ban on mailing handguns
Clayton Cramer has it.
Only law enforcement is fit to have guns, part 1,230
Officer (incorrectly) thinks caregiver is in danger, solves problem by shooting him. The caregiver says he asked why the fellow shot him, and the officer in confusion frankly replied, "I don't know."
Sheriff David Clarke chews up CNN's Don Lemon
Footage here.
I didn't know this....
Donald Trump's big sister is a senior judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
As-applied challenge succeeds in PA
Joshua Prince discusses the result in Keyes v. Lynch (M.D. Pa.). Plaintiffs were two individuals who had been subject to brief mental commitments ten years ago, one of whom subsequently served in the military and is currently employed as an (armed) law enforcement officer. The State courts lifted (sort of) the State bar on gun possession, but the Federales ruled that that didn't affect them. The court upholds that determination, but holds that barring firearm possession by plaintiffs would violate the 2A as applied.
"What is most striking about Mr. Yox's as-applied challenge, though, is the fact that he has been authorized to possess and use, and has in fact possessed and used, firearms while he served in the military and while he worked as a state correctional officer in Pennsylvania. Indeed, Mr. Yox used fully automatic rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and incendiary grenades while serving in the 82nd Airborne of the United States Army. Again, Defendants have submitted no evidence that Mr. Yox misused firearms or acted in a dangerous manner in those professional capacities. Thus, the record indicates that throughout his adulthood, despite his personal firearms disability due to ยง 922(g)(4), Mr. Yox has possessed and used firearms in his professional capacity without incident."
SAF sues over adoptive parents' rights in Illinois
Story here. Apparently the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services has decided that gun owners are unfit to adopt children. I suspect the lawsuit will lead them to reconsider their bigotry.
It is possible he and his friends might make it to the elevators
Some sorta academic clown suggests he and some buddies might storm NRA headquarters.
It'd be like "The Keystone Cops Storm Okinawa." Amusing, but rather messy for the cleanup crews. Of course an anti gunner sees nothing wrong with homicide, that's not really the issue....
That little meeting at the Phoenix airport
Bill Clinton for some reason was in Phoenix, and somehow heard that AG Lynch was flying in (in a private plane apparently), and they managed to have a meeting in a private plane about grandkids and golf. "He mentioned the golf he played in Phoenix..."
He must be a sturdy fellow.. it hit 113 that day in Phoenix. I've never golfed, but I'd imagine that when it hits 113, walking around in a big humid grassy field is probably not a good idea.
