B-Man Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Opinion analysis: Court sends New York Second Amendment case back to lower courts without ruling on the merits. “Justice Samuel Alito dissented from today’s decision, in a 31-page opinion that was joined in full by Justice Neil Gorsuch and in large part by Justice Clarence Thomas. Alito was sharply critical of the decision to dismiss the case as moot, arguing that his colleagues were allowing ‘our docket to be manipulated in a way that should not be countenanced.'” .

Alito was sharply critical of the decision to dismiss the case as moot, arguing that his colleagues were allowing ‘our docket to be manipulated in a way that should not be countenanced.'” Quote Justice Brett Kavanaugh filed a concurring opinion in which he explained that he agreed with the majority that the gun owners’ original claims are moot and that the new claims should be addressed first by the lower courts. But Kavanaugh also indicated that he agreed with Alito’s “general analysis of Heller and” McDonald v. City of Chicago, in which the court made clear that the Second Amendment applies fully to the states, and that he shares Alito’s “concern that some federal and state courts may not be properly applying Heller and McDonald.” Interesting way to straddle the fence. Kavanaugh's not wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 As Twitchy reported earlier Thursday, ABC 13 picked a curious photo to go with its story of a bazooka found during a raid in downtown Houston. The tweet’s since been deleted, either because of the photo or because authorities later said a bazooka was not found among the stash of weapons. That was definitely the media’s gun moment of the day, but Jesse Kelly wants to know which is your favorite media gun moment of all time. He’s provided four options, although we’d also nominate former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh showing off the “rocket launcher” the city picked up at one of its gun buyback events. Quote Jesse Kelly ✔@JesseKellyDC Ok, I’m sorry to do this, but it’s time to make a choice. You can choose one and only one favorite media gun moment. Or you’re welcome to respond with one you think tops these four. Who’s the champ? So what do we have: the “bazooka,” a HuffPost reporter asking if anyone could confirm that “rubber bullets” (that were actually earplugs) were fired in Ferguson, Missouri, USA Today’s graphic of the AR-15 with the “chainsaw bayonet” attachment, or the New York Daily News reporter who claims he suffered from PTSD after firing an AR-15 at a shooting range. .

The person who thought those were rubber bullets obviously is not married to someone who snores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Oh Canada! The True North Strong and free! Wash post: Quote TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the ban includes more than 1,500 makes and models of firearms. There will be a two-year amnesty period for current owners to comply with the prohibition, he said, and legislation will be drafted in the coming months to provide “fair compensation” to them.

He's very active on Twitter these days. He does a drive-by here on occasion. I've been TBD for probably 20 years with Tom. He comes and goes. But Twitter seems to keep him busy. If you're not following politics, there are a schittton of nerds discussing things he loves...like historic wars, battles, ships, strategies, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Democrats can take total control of that state and outlaw such intimidation tactics While I’m suspect of the validity of those numbers, supporters would be free to limit their own movement upon the lifting of a lockdown. The people absolutely are the check on their representatives. Constitutional rights to freedom don’t come with an asterisk invalidating them in case of Coronavirus. The brainwashed masses can buy into media driven fear tactics, but that doesn’t override liberties and rights guaranteed by the founders. The role of government is not to ensure that you or I do not contract a virus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
