Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

This is really a bad look for the South Carolina DNR. I would think they would want to back out of this as quickly as possible.
First, the point of the law is not to shoot deer while spotlighting.
Second, for all the officers knew, Shane Huffman was attempting to figure out if that game standing in the field was a Coyote or Feral Hog, both of which are legal to shoot any time of the day with either thermal scopes or NV. What Shane intended by backing his truck up goes to state of mind, and it is impossible for the officers to prove that.
Third, if these officers have time to put human bait in fields and sit in cars waiting for people to stop and look at the bait, they have way to much time on their hands. I have often stopped when I saw a deer, or what I thought was a deer, in order to (a) keep from running over a deer (if it’s a doe there’s likely more around), and (b) to gauge the size and quality of the deer (who knows, maybe it’s somewhere I would want to hunt in the future).
As to (a) above, I have a guard on the front of my truck. I know a guy to hit a deer and totaled his vehicle, and another who did $26,000 worth of damage to his vehicle.
Fourth, officer Thomas should be fired for being corrupt, and officer Tatum should be fired for being so stupid.
Fifth, don’t ever talk to the police. Ever. Under any circumstances. The words are: “I invoke my fifth amendment rights and will not speak to law enforcement except in the presence of my attorney.”
Sixth, officer cameras should not have mute features.
Finally, I suspect that most state DNRs could get by with only 10% of the officers they currently have in their employ.
The Uvalde, Texas, gunman fired 117 rounds in two Robb Elementary School classrooms during a two-minute period before school police officer Adrian Gonzales entered the building, a Texas Ranger told jurors on Friday.
While prosecutors allege Gonzales did not follow his training, the defense contends that other officers arrived on scene at nearly the same time and had the opportunity to kill the gunman.
Ranger Nick Hill testified that Gonzales had a window of one minute and four seconds after he parked his car before gunman Salvador Ramos entered the school. Gonzales took three minutes and 53 seconds to enter Robb Elementary after parking his car, Hill said.
Hill said Gonzales parked at 11:31:55 a.m. and radioed in the active shooter report at 11:32:09 a.m.
Ramos entered the west side of Robb Elementary at 11:32:59 a.m., and, after firing 21 shots in a hallway, he entered the first of two classrooms at 11:33:45 a.m. Gonzales entered the south door of Robb Elementary at 11:35:48 a.m., Hill said.
In total, Ramos fired 173 shots during the massacre, while law enforcement discharged 25 rounds, Hill said. Ramos killed 19 students and two teachers.
After Hill said Gonzales had more than a minute to stop the gunman outside the school, defense lawyers pushed back, highlighting that other officers had similar — if not better — opportunities to stop the gunman.
Hill acknowledged during cross examination that three other officers arrived approximately 30 seconds after Gonzales and could more easily spot the gunman.
I’m sure they did, and I’m sure they could have. Every last officer involved that day should be stripped naked, marched to the city square, and put in stocks for the public to see.
And don’t forget that they didn’t just not do anything, they stopped brave fathers from entering the school to stop the shooting.
Make no mistake about it. This is why they hate him. Anything else is a lie and a gas-lighting fabrication to hide the truth.
They don’t want to stop the gravy train for ne’er-do-wells, criminals, morons, buffoons and the perfumed prince former generals who get on the BoD of these criminal outfits.
I’ve conveyed my puzzlement at folks who would sit on the couch rather than go vote, and then worry over whether what they have in their homes is illegal.
Anyway, I like his style. I just can’t stand the overly-emotion presentations elsewhere, but here he gives you the scoop without the drama.
I’m so thankful that my moral predilections don’t include defending the right of people like this to be here.

A U.S. appeals court on Friday ruled that California’s ban on openly carrying firearms in most parts of the state was unconstitutional.
A panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided 2-1 with a gun owner in ruling that the state’s prohibition against open carry in counties with more than 200,000 people violated U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
About 95% of the population in California, which has had some of the nation’s strictest gun-control laws, live in counties of that size.
U.S. Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke, who was appointed by Republican President Donald Trump, said the Democratic-led state’s law could not stand under the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 landmark gun rights ruling.
That decision, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, was issued by the court’s 6-3 conservative super-majority and established a new legal test for firearms restrictions. The test said they must be “consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
VanDyke, whose opinion on Friday was joined by another Trump appointee, said the latest case “unquestionably involves a historical practice — open carry — that predates ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791.”
He noted that more than 30 states generally allow open carry. California itself allowed citizens to carry handguns openly and holstered for self-defense without penalty until 2012, he said.
“The historical record makes unmistakably plain that open carry is part of this Nation’s history and tradition,” VanDyke said.
My position on open carry has never changed. I really don’t care what you think about it. For the state to dictate the manner in which a man must carry his weapons is tyranny.
I predict: (1) the state will appeal it to be heard en banc, or (2) Newsome’s LE and the California legislation will simply ignore the ruling, and because “conservatives” must obey the courts and tyrants never do and always get away with it, nothing will change.
Here I posed a question for Geissele Automatics: Will you do business with law enforcement in California now that they have passed a law that forbids the ownership of the subject weapons by all other citizens?
The comments are so laborious that I almost couldn’t make my way through them. I didn’t ask how best to deal with the new law, whether to rely on FFLs or try to navigate these waters alone? Or whether to stop supporting existing gun owners with parts? Or anything else of the sort. I asked a simple, easy to understand and easy to answer question.
The answer I got from Geissele answered every but the one I asked. They can continue to sell to law enforcement, or they can take Ronnie Barrett’s position. The choice seems simple enough to me.
Thank you for your reply. Of course, that’s one way to handle the issue. The other way is to follow in the footsteps of Ronnie Barrett.
