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.

That inaction continued today. Once again, the Court refused to hear a major Second Amendment case. And once again, the Court’s failure to act prompted a sharp complaint from Justice Clarence Thomas, who upbraided his colleagues this morning for “prolonging our decade-long failure to protect the Second Amendment.”
Thomas’ complaint came in the form of a dissent from the denial of certiorari in Rogers v. Grewal. The case dealt with New Jersey’s requirement that any person seeking to get a handgun carry permit must first demonstrate to the satisfaction of the authorities “that he has a justifiable need to carry a handgun.” Among other things, the applicant must “specify in detail the urgent necessity for self-protection, as evidence by specific threats or previous attacks which demonstrate a special danger to the applicant’s life that cannot be avoided by means other than by issuance of a permit to carry a handgun.” Under the rules, “generalized fears for personal safety are inadequate.”
Thomas Rogers, who operates a business that services automated teller machines, wanted to carry a gun for self-defense while out on the job. But he failed to meet the state’s exacting standards. The Supreme Court today declined to take up his constitutional challenge to the gun control regulation.
“In several jurisdictions throughout the country,” Justice Thomas observed of Rogers’ case and others like it, “law-abiding citizens have been barred from exercising the fundamental right to bear arms because they cannot show that they have a ‘justifiable need’ or ‘good reason’ for doing so. One would think that such an onerous burden on a fundamental right would warrant this Court’s review.” Indeed, Thomas continued, “this Court would almost certainly review the constitutionality of a law requiring citizens to establish a justifiable need before exercising their free speech rights. And it seems highly unlikely that the Court would allow a State to enforce a law requiring a woman to provide a justifiable need before seeking an abortion. But today, faced with a petition challenging just such a restriction on citizens’ Second Amendment rights, the Court simply looks the other way.”
Justice Clarence Thomas. The last remaining honorable man and scholar on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh signed on to the dissent, excepting section 2. Go read section 2. There is no good reason any liberty minded patriot should refuse to sign on to section 2.
The Supreme Court has become a college of swine, a gaggle of clowns; frauds, liars and shysters in robes of tyranny. Roberts is the head clown, the high priest of swindle.
Funny, that. I thought these guys wanted their wealth redistributed. Or maybe they just want YOUR wealth redistributed. Sort of like the politics of the French Revolution.
Don’t fret. I’m sure the Twitteratti will fix everything, or else the CHAZ “police” will get you justice.
The new state of CHAZ has evolved. Over the past week, following Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan’s decision to abandon the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct Building, left-wing protesters have transformed the surrounding neighborhood into the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), hoping to create a new political authority based on social-justice principles. On its first night, the new micro-state was led by the armed paramilitaries of Antifa and the John Brown Gun Club, but after preventing the return of police and securing defined borders, the CHAZ has sought to implement civilian rule.
Almost immediately, activists established a social structure based on a “reverse hierarchy of oppression”: Native American, black, and trans women are the highest authority; diversity determines individual social status; and whites are called upon to perform rituals of atonement. Through a series of speeches and community gatherings, activists have sought to implement the social theory of “decolonization,” which, in the words of Black Lives Matter activist Nikkita Oliver, means overthrowing capitalism, eliminating the structures of “patriarchy, white supremacy, and classism,” and returning the land of the autonomous zone to displaced Native American tribes.
Let me be clear that I don’t think skinny bois would last two minutes against the various militias across America.
But that’s not the point. Right now, they have the support of the pols. And this is what the prog pols want.
Does that sound like something you can grok? If not, you’d better prepare now. You won’t have a chance to do it later.
First, every military MOS must now be opened to transgenders, in every branch.
Second, there will be quotas just like there are for hiring, college admissions, and everything else. Companies will be searching for transgenders to hire. It will be a badge of honor to have transgenders on staff.
Third, this will affect churches. Churches will now have to hire transgenders in order to maintain tax exempt status.
Fourth, it will affect other aspects of church life. If a transgender wants to teach a Sunday School class on “Why I Became A Transgender,” s/he must be allowed to do that in order for the church to maintain tax exempt status.
Fifth, self mutilation will become a norm in the upside down world of anti-Christians.
The Supreme Court has now fully and completely thrown off the face of being anything other than an arm of revolution. The French Revolutionaries in CHAZ want to hang people. The Supreme Court still hides behind the vestiges and accouterments of robes, but they are no less thugs.
A militant Antifa group known as the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club is patrolling the six blocks known as CHOP or CHAZ. In other words, the activists that kicked cops out of the occupied space now have their version of “police,” but with no meaningful police training and stubborn ideological beliefs. What could possibly go wrong?

When people film any fights or other acts of violence, activists in the crowd presumably “working” under the security personnel, purposefully bump into and block anyone filming with their cell phones. They did it to me on Saturday as I filmed a fight that broke out on stage.
… let’s rewind a little bit. He said, has anyone heard of the French Revolution? Here’s some here’s some wooing like the white girl woo at a concert. Woo! Woo!It’s like if the musician on stage mentions your home city. Anyone here from. Fill in the blank. Anyone here from Omaha? Whew! Except this is about the French Revolution. Were they beheaded people? It was just a bloodbath in France. So he said yes. Back then, people put property and greed over the importance of lives and you know what happened to people who wouldn’t get on board? And a few people said Chope. He says, Say it louder. They chant, Chop. He said, one more time, louder, even louder. Chop. They’re talking about the guillotine, they’re talking about beheading people. This is super radical rhetoric and he’s saying we’re serious about this. That’s the message, we’re not going anywhere. And I think that there’s a bit of a problem, at least some concern when you have a movement that is waxing nostalgic and sort of romanticizing the French Revolution, which was a lawlis, as I said, a blood bath. Where people were brought up on a stage after show trials and their heads were cut off. And here you have a crowd in the Chaz or Tropp Zone of Seattle chanting enthusiastically about the guillotine.

By the way, who owns that land you’re on, son? Do you hold title to it? And what are you going to do when you find out you’re doing all the work and others are eating all of your vegetables?
