Wow. Nice to see. I always said that the Dark and Fascist State of NJ would not reform itself, and would have to have reform imposed upon it. https://reason.com/2023/01/16/a-federal-judge-blocks-new-jerseys-sweeping-restrictions-on-public-gun-possession/

First i heard of this https://www.ibtimes.com/us-supreme-court-throws-out-rulings-upholding-gun-restrictions-3558140

The ACLU has never been institutionally gun friendly. The TL;DR is that they were founded to defend communists and socialists from being oppressed by Woodrow Wilson's regime, which was fair to characterize as a prototype for fascism. The Fascist v Communist/Socialist divide would form the major...

I listened to all two hours of the oral arguments, the transcript will be a gold mine for years to come. Compressing it way short: The essential argument for the Dark & Fascist State of New York was that since Heller went with a "text, history and tradition" approach, NY has shown a long...

The reframing of the question is of some concern, but my parsing of the thing indicates it can go either way. The issue is muddy, because Heller imports "longstanding" infringements, and when the history of infringements is recited, you see that the vast majority of them have been done by...

Removes hat, bows head in silence.

I fly between Florida and PA with handguns all the time. IT'S NO BIG DEAL, BECAUSE PA AND FL ARE FREE AMERICAN STATES. The ticket agent won't even look at you funny. The problems occur when one state is NOT a free state, or when someone fails to read and follow the directions listed under...

Now that the proposed rules are out, has anyone who properly knows how to read and interpret them given them a run through?

Damnit. Art will be missed. As a fixture, it never even really occurred to me that he was as mortal as the next man. Rest in Peace.

The only difference with PHL is that a permit is required for open carry, unlike the rest of the state. Permits accepted anywhere else in the state are accepted by PHL. PHL is constantly being slapped by the state supreme court for attempting to implement gun control measures that they don't...

Traditionally, the Judiciary Committee is where such bills go do die their typical, horrible death. Keeping an eye on the composition of that committee is one of the key details.

The majority of citizens of the Dark and Fascist state of NJ are institutional hoplophobes who consider interest in firearms to be socially aberant, which can manifest in all sorts of weird, stressy ways, ranging all the way up to ostracization and loss of business opportunity. Chris Christy...

Let's examine a simple example, that would require zero *new* legislature: Most people convicted of many crimes punishable by > 1 year in jail find themselves defined to be a prohibited person when it comes to possessing guns. A part of that law, the Gun Control Act of the late 60's...

Sigh. "What house defense gun for unenthusiastic shooter only willing to put in the bare minimum effort?" No, not a shotgun. They are creatures of vast noise and recoil, and generally disliked by folks fitting that description. No, not a handgun, they take more to master than they're willing...
