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.

The white pastor of a large Christian church in Pennsylvania is taking personal blame for “the situation” leading to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and says all white churches are collectively to blame.
“The situation we find ourselves in is my fault, and it is a gospel issue, with the credibility of the gospel on the line,” said Bob Myers, pastor of Covenant Church in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
In his blog post titled, “Is It My Fault?,” Myers cites white privilege among American Christians as a main factor leading to the death of Floyd, who is black. The event has sparked riots and protests in major cities across the United States this weekend.
Now that your mind has been poisoned with stupidity, here is the antidote from R. J. Rushdoony, “Institutes of Biblical Law.”
” … the Biblical doctrine is, as Deuteronomy 24:16 makes clear, one of individual responsibility … guilt cannot be shifted to others or passed on to the people around a man. Guilt is non-transferable; a disposition or nature can be inherited, but not guilt.”
Mr. Floyd is dead as a result of something, presumably what the cop did to him. It is therefore not my fault or your fault or the fault of a collective, whomever that might be in your mind. The ignorant pastor should go back to seminary.
(WHAM) – Disturbing video recorded by a person in Rochester shows a group of people attacking a woman outside a business amid widespread looting and rioting in downtown Rochester Saturday evening.
In the video, a woman pleads with the people smashing the exterior of Rochester Fire Equipment Company on Marshall Street to stop. The woman yelled at the group of people, who were apparently trying to loot the jewelry store next door.
Several of the people then turn on the woman and begin attacking her, hitting and kicking her, and then used boards to hit her.
The woman’s husband runs in toward the end of the recording and tries to break up the attack while swinging a golf club. He was then attacked himself.
The woman is reportedly recovering on Sunday morning.
The woman and her husband are tenants who live above Rochester Fire Equipment. Joe Painter tells us he was out grocery shopping when he came upon the scene and started taking video on his cell phone.
Painter, who says he is a veteran of the War in Afghanistan, says it was one of the worst things he’s ever witnessed. He said he stopped recording abruptly because some of the people who attacked the woman in the video started running toward him.
There’s video at the link.
So I realize America has taught several generations of inner city youth that they have a right to steal whatever they want with impunity, destroy things and abuse other people like this, but it seems like this poor woman would have had rights too, yes? Because she is made in God’s image? Yes?
And I’m sorry to the Afghan war vet, but people running after him too isn’t an excuse to ignore the suffering of others. Every man dies. It matters how you live, and it matters how you die.
Published last week in The Lancet, the large-scale study suggested the malaria drugs could be dangerous to people with severe cases of Covid-19, increasing the risk of abnormal heart rhythms and even death.
Now, scientists across the world are asking the research team, led by Harvard professor Dr Mandeep Mehra, to release its data for further analysis and independent academic review.
In an open letter, they’ve asked the journal to provide details about the massive hospital database – consisting of 96,000 Covid-19 patients across six continents – which was the basis for the observational study.
So far the authors have declined to release their underlying data, which scientists worry carries several inconsistencies.
Among them are concerns the average daily doses of hydroxychloroquine, which is cheap and easy to administer, used were higher than the recommended amounts – and that data from Australian patients does not match data from the Australian government.
After having done this for a lifetime, I can confidently say the following. When an analyst refuses to release the data or math models for independent review and verification, he’s lying.
I have nothing detailed at the moment. Lot’s of stuff in the pipeline, maybe. Or maybe not.
So here’s my questions to the rioters. Where were you, oh self righteous pricks, when open carry fishermen in Florida were body slammed by cops?
Where were you, oh self righteous rioters, when innocent former Marine Jose Guerena was raided and killed in his own home, having the trigger discipline never even to fire a shot in return?
Where were you this morning when the Supreme Tyrants declared that California, and thus any state, could prohibit Christians from worshiping?
Oh, I see. Rights for some, but not for others.
Be careful folks. Don’t align yourself with people who would take those very cops they hate so much and turn them on you to confiscate guns if they had the chance. Don’t align yourself with people who would force Christians into hiding because of their own hatred for us.
BLM and Antifa couldn’t care less about your rights as a Christian or gun owner.
The precise question of when restrictions on particular social activities should be lifted during the pandemic is a dynamic and fact-intensive matter subject to reasonable disagreement. Our Constitution principally entrusts “[t]he safety and the health of the people” to the politically accountable officials of the States “to guard and protect.” Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U. S. 11, 38 (1905). When those officials “undertake[ ] to act in areas fraught with medical and scientific uncertainties,” their latitude “must be especially broad.” Marshall v. United States, 414 U. S. 417, 427 (1974). Where those broad limits are not exceeded, they should not be subject to second-guessing by an “unelected federal judiciary,” which lacks the background, competence, and expertise to assess public health and is not accountable to the people. See Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority, 469 U. S. 528, 545 (1985).
Meanwhile, the religion of “Home repair and lawn maintenance” remains unabated, with my local Lowe’s and Home Depot parking lots filled to capacity and wall-to-wall people in the aisles.
Welcome to the FUSA. We have to be medical providers and professionals in order to interpret the first amendment to the constitution. We’ll leave that to the bureaucracy.
Remarkable decision, with Roberts proving where his fealty lies.
SARS-CoV-2 remains a troublesome virus for some small fraction of patients, mostly the elderly and those with co-morbidity.
I’ve followed this channel for a long time. The elderly are especially at risk. This means that Cuomo and Whitmer did all the wrong things by forcing nursing homes and assisted living centers to accept Covid patients. But we knew that already.
For those who are interested. Doctors are still learning treatment protocols for this disease. You can thank Fort Detrick, Anthony Fauci, gain-of-function research and the Wuhan virology lab for all of this.
