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.

So here is Mark Smith. He takes a fairly realistic view of things.
Here is Washington Gun Law, where he takes a slightly better view of what’s possible, perhaps too rosy.
Here is Jared in an inexplicably optimistic view of things.
So I set each up with the little preview because I think Jared may miss the point. This was a case seeking a preliminary injunction, and no final ruling has been made. I think the other two analyses are a bit closer to the truth.
I think it will be hard to get SCOTUS review of this because they are just that stolid and slow to react – and also because of the chief justice. To be sure, this was seeking a preliminary injunction, but it must be remembered that the decisions already written on this assesses the probability of success before these courts.
They may delay the final rulings for another two or three years, or more, but there won’t be another outcome than the one you’ve already witnessed. So even if they don’t, it makes perfect sense for the SCOTUS to take this up now. One wonders what they’re waiting for – perhaps another supreme court justice to die with a pillow over his face like Scalia?
Judge Frank Easterbrook is a so-called “law and order conservative.” Let me translate for you. That’s the same thing as the communists on the alleged other side of the isle. Just like AG Barr, who argued in defense of Lon Horiuchi.
In America, it’s always easy to detect a communist. Just look at his position on the second amendment.
The only explanation for allowing this sort of thing to continue is having sympathy for these actions. Piracy isn’t some sort of movie – it’s reckless endangerment, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, and thievery. The Biblical punishments for these actions is death. Cutting the heads off of pirates and running them up the flag pole might put an end to piracy right quickly.
However, in spite of the wishes of the founders, we have a standing army for purposes of foreign misadventures, and another standing army (police of all sorts) for purposes of violation of foundational constitutional rights at home. The one thing the federal government is tasked with, i.e., protection of the border, it routinely ignores and even laughs at.
And the one reason for a standing army for foreign wars was piracy. Jefferson commissioned the U.S. Marines for such things, but rather than sending a couple of MEUs to handle this problems, we would rather send MEUs out on humanitarian missions across the globe.
Black is white, up is down, and darkness is light.
Houthis to world. Our Red Sea maritime interdiction has worked so well that we’ll expand it.https://t.co/oZ4S8JNTcz
I already told you I have about as much respect and use for the Fourth Circuit as toe jam. Remember they are the ones who found against the carry of weapons in the parking lots of national parks in U.S. versus Masciandaro, and this was even after the law had been changed in 2010 allowing guns in national parks. Yes, that’s right. They found it illegal even though it was expressly legal and had been declared a year before.
Oh, I don’t think they’re insane. They’re just communists and this is what communists do. And lest you think that there must be some good people left in FedGov law enforcement, no, they’re all for this. They will enforce this without so much as one ounce of remorse, as well as any other law, rule or regulation their superiors tell them to. They have already sold their souls.
Concealed carry gun owners in our state are now allowed to have their firearms in places of worship; even if they are held on school grounds. They can also now carry guns on some school properties, during specific times. The new law also launches a two-year statewide awareness initiative for safe gun storage and gun lock distribution programs.
This is referring to Senate Bill 41. It doesn’t require that the weapon holder get permission from the church to carry. It requires that the church conspicuously post that no weapons are allowed before prohibiting the carry of weapons, as it should.
They had to override a veto by the Goobernator of NC, Roy Cooper.
Liberal activists are preparing to file a lawsuit against the board of one of the largest gun manufacturers in the United States, alleging that the company exposed shareholders to unnecessary liability by selling and promoting AR-15 rifles and thus violating their fiduciary duty.
In a draft of a lawsuit viewed by Fox News Digital expected to be filed this week, liberal activist shareholder plantiffs alleged that the board of Smith & Wesson “knowingly allowed the Company to become exposed to significant liability for intentionally violating federal, state, and local laws through its manufacturing, marketing, and sales of AR-15 style rifles and similar semiautomatic firearms.”
The draft explains that the company’s board has expressed “unwillingness to exercise any oversight whatsoever” when it comes to manufacturing and marketing AR-15s, which the shareholders say has exposed the company to unnecessary liability.
The lawsuit is the latest in a series of moves made by liberal activists across the country using the legal system to go after gun manufacturers as a part of a larger movement known as environmental, social, and governance (ESG), which puts pressure on investors to be more “socially conscious.”

Two of the plaintiffs in the case are led by Sister Judy Byron, an anti-gun activist who recently participated in drafting a statement from the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, where “investors representing $634 billion in assets” called for pressure on gun manufacturers and companies associated with them “to review their operations, supply chains and policies and take meaningful action on this public safety concern.”
Sisten Judy Byron. Part of a false and anti-Christian church, pushing a false agenda, destroying the hard work of good men, and ruining the lives of millions.
Here is Jared Yanis on the subject.
S&W will need to play rough in order to turn this threat out before it takes roots or they’ll end up another Remington. Kill this movement in its infancy inside your group of shareholders. Hire the best lawyers. Buy them out. Boot them out of meetings. Boot them out of stock ownership if possible. Amend the rules if needed.
Watch it all. It seems not to matter to these so-called “experts” that they are parroting incoherent and inconsistent talking points.
First “expert”: the deer herd has decreased because of hard winters. Second “expert”: the deer herd has increased and hunters are having more success, and just because there are wolves around doesn’t mean wolves are killing them, it just means the wolves are following them and the hunters see the wolves.
And the “journalist” is too stupid to call them out on the inconsistency.
Next up, imagine what it would be like to live in a country without the patients aren’t running the asylum. This judge has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about, and neither do the people to whom he listened, and has no right to interfere with state hunting regulations or the state wildlife biologists, and finally shouldn’t be concerned about bears with missing toes.
Good Lord. Why do I have to point these things out? Why doesn’t the entire country look at them and laugh and point and make fun of them?
A federal judge has cut wolf trapping season in half in most of Montana. The decision comes after multiple animal advocacy groups filed a lawsuit claiming that federally-protected grizzly bears are being unintentionally snared in the western part of the Big Sky State.
According to Montana Public Radio that four cases of grizzlies with missing toes and legs were documented by state biologists in 2021. By shrinking the wolf trapping season from nearly four months to less than two months, the ruling aims to mitigate unintentional harm to grizzly bears, the outlet reports.
The intent is to have traps active only when bears are hibernating, wrote U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy in the final ruling. Molloy also pointed to shifting weather patterns as a reason for the court-ordered regulation change, writing that grizzlies are becoming more active outside of their dens during the shoulder seasons due to climate change.
Ooo … climate change. Well there you go. Gaia has spoken. The FedGov listened and obeyed.
I won’t go into the details now because it’s not obvious to me that it’s a serious threat. I suspect it will be filibustered in the senate and as long as the GOP owns the House it has no chance at all of passing. After the next election cycle all bets are off because as you know, rigged machines will do the counting and fake ballots will be shipped to voting polls.
But it’s an amazing thing to me that anyone would believe that Americans are going to give up five hundred million semiautomatic firearms.
Anyway, this is always how it happens. It’s the signal sign of cowardice when a man asks someone else to do the dirty and dangerous work for him. And be sure, it will be dirty and dangerous.
If all these guns are so dangerous, perhaps you should reconsider trying to wrestle them away from the people who own them.
