How so, please? In fact, mechanism of fire is (currently) regulated. It seems obvious to me ... This is not about bumpstocks, it is about banning semi-autos. Anything that could potentially exceed some arbitrary rate of fire, regardless of mechanism. Edit: From the Bumpfire Ban Bill (see...

Which one? ;)

You're referring to the posse comitatus power? The California Penal Code Section refers specifically to refusing to join the posse comitatus. Posse comitatus originated in a time and place when free men could go armed, and to my knowledge posses in the US were (are?) generally voluntary and...

Fixed. I'm extremely skeptical that this is true. Please provide a citation. Good job to the shooter, assuming it went down as reported.

It's been thought of. More likely (not very likely, but I can hope) is a Supreme Court that will hold all of California to the letter of the Constitution, and a federal executive branch that will follow through to hold them to it. Ironically, nothing will bring Left Coast liberals to violence...

Diane Feintstein carried concealed as well. She claims to have given up her permit, saying “I know from first-hand experience what damage ... weapons can do to bodies,” she explained at Wednesday’s event. “I have a deep belief that these weapons are antithetical to our values.”...

It is now being reported that Mr. Castile did have a CCW permit.

Unfortunately, he who speaks first controls the narrative.

Touché. Which reminds me, I don't suppose we can count on the French this time around.

Yes, they are bold, insane, and desperate, and in the unlikely event they get even a portion of what they want, I think you'll see widespread refusal to comply, New-York-State-style. That's when things would get really interesting.

We aren't (at least I'm not) talking about using an MMJ license as the basis for building and prosecuting a case. If a violation of federal law were proven, that would clearly satisfy due process. Simply possessing a MMJ card is not tantamount to "voluntarily disclos[ing] to the federal...

OK, hold up. Is obtaining a license to do something evidence that you are doing it? More importantly, is it sufficient evidence that my 2A rights should be limited? I can get a drivers license, even if I don't own a car or ever drive (after the road test). I could pass the bar exam and...

I'm not aware that it is a requirement that you use marijuana to get a MMJ card. I've been prescribed narcotic pain killers for injuries that I haven't filled. If Ellsnjel wanted to challenge NICS refusal for an MMJ card, he could get one, but never consume any marijuana (confirmed with weekly...

:scrutiny: I'm leaning away from the term RINO, because it implies that a "real" Republican is somehow more desirable. The major parties are two sides of the same wooden nickel.
