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.

“At first, all they wanted to do was repeal the $200 tax on the suppressors, but they still wanted to leave it in the NFA, which means the registration and all that goes along with that; the waiting periods, etc.” Pratt explained. “We said, ‘No, no, no.’ We just melted their phone lines. I mean, so much so we had reports they were turning off the phones in the House of Representatives.”
Well, that’s not the way I remember it. I remember you talking about this being a “win” for future suppressor owners. Either way, you didn’t succeed. You should have told Cornyn that you would lobby against his reelection to the senate if he went down this path.
Speaking of Cornyn, how come the fine folks in Texas haven’t run him out of office yet? After all, he appears to care more about the Muslims than anyone else in his supposed constituency. Let’s see if there are enough Muslims in Texas to elect him.
🚨BETRAYAL🚨Texas Senator John Cornyn has praised Islam and said “Ramadan Mubarak.” Cornyn last year said “Inshallah” at the TX GOP Convention, meaning “If Allah Wills.” Is this why Cornyn has NOT Condemned the Texas SHARIA LAW City that's being built?!
A hunter from Montana who narrowly escaped death during a grizzly bear attack has disclosed that one split-second decision saved his life.
Chase Dellwo, then 26, was hunting with his brother in the Montana backcountry when he inadvertently stumbled upon a 400lb sleeping male grizzly.
Local reports indicate that Dellwo was moving up a creek bed on a Saturday morning, attempting to herd a group of elk towards a ridge where his brother was stationed, when the bear woke up abruptly just three feet away.
Poor weather conditions, including snow, rain, and winds reaching 40mph, appear to have concealed Dellwo’s approach, meaning the bear didn’t see him coming and was thus taken by surprise.
He barely had time to retreat before the creature knocked him to the ground and bit his head, reports the Mirror.
“He let go but he was still on top of me, roaring the loudest roar I have ever heard,” Dellwo said.
The bear then clamped down hard onto his leg, shaking him violently and tossing him into the air. As it lunged again, Dellwo says that he didn’t succumb to panic, a factor that may have made all the difference.
“I remembered an article that my grandmother gave me a long time ago that said large animals have bad gag reflexes,” he said. “So I shoved my right arm down his throat.”
Incredibly, it worked. The bear immediately released the quick-thinking hunter and fled, leaving Dellwo severely wounded but, importantly, alive.
Despite bleeding profusely, he managed to reunite with his brother who quickly took him to the hospital. Doctors treated him for hundreds of stitches and staples in his head, a swollen and bruised eye, and deep puncture wounds on his leg.
The article says he was a hunter. I don’t know if he could reach his weapons in time, but I think I’d rather shoot the predator with a large bore handgun (.44 Mag, .454 Casull, or 450 SMC).
My own home state of NC has a law against the carry of firearms in parades, protests, etc. It’s dumb and unconstitutional.
There have been a number of articles on this subject in the wake of the recent ICE shooting in Minnesota, like this one and this one.
Most of them are pretty dumb and miss the point. I don’t want to get into a long-winded discussion of it, but I’ll say this much. Whomever was carrying the firearm, assuming that he was an American citizen and thus a recipient of the hard work of securing the obligations of covenant protections (i.e., the constitution), had a right to be carrying a gun.
What that person did not have the right to do is impede the removal of invaders from America, or perpetrate further invasion of America. That’s called treason. The second amendment is in place for the amelioration of tyranny. It does not protect the imposition of another tyranny.
“You make a lot of great points. Ask any hunter why you can no longer find deer in the Pisgah National Forrest. Here’s why. Mountain bikers protest to the state when anyone talks about burning it. The last time I hunted there there were no deer. The woods is so dense with dead fall, limbs and brush that you can’t walk into the woods you have to step through two feet deep of treacherous stuff that can break your ankles. What was once delivered wisdom from the old timers (let the woods burn from lightning strikes) became “fight the fires.” Until we came up with a solution, managed, or prescribed, or controlled burns. But unless it’s private property, the biologist don’t like that either. So we just drive the wildlife out instead. As for the wolves, I’m sure they like seeing cows give birth and when they’re at their weakest, the newborn (along with placenta) becomes a meal. The coyotes (Coydogs or Coywolves) do that here. They are invasive and will utterly destroy the deer herd if left unchecked. So there’s no limit on hunting them. Nor should there be. They – along with feral hogs – should be eradicated, at least here in the east. Y’all should never have put the wolf back into where it doesn’t belong. You need to do controlled burns. And you shouldn’t have “wildlife biologists” who aren’t hunters. Hunters are better at observing and cataloging wildlife behavior than they are. At one time in our past, it was understood that managing (and slowly and slightly increasing the herd size) was a balancing act that required burns, hunting, logging, and biologists who understood this sort of thing. Today the universities graduate earth-worshippers who accomplish the opposite of what they intend. The earth and what’s in it aren’t here for me to worship. I’m here to be a good steward of what God has granted us. Few college grads understand that today.”
This is really a bad look for the South Carolina DNR. I would think they would want to back out of this as quickly as possible.
First, the point of the law is not to shoot deer while spotlighting.
Second, for all the officers knew, Shane Huffman was attempting to figure out if that game standing in the field was a Coyote or Feral Hog, both of which are legal to shoot any time of the day with either thermal scopes or NV. What Shane intended by backing his truck up goes to state of mind, and it is impossible for the officers to prove that.
Third, if these officers have time to put human bait in fields and sit in cars waiting for people to stop and look at the bait, they have way to much time on their hands. I have often stopped when I saw a deer, or what I thought was a deer, in order to (a) keep from running over a deer (if it’s a doe there’s likely more around), and (b) to gauge the size and quality of the deer (who knows, maybe it’s somewhere I would want to hunt in the future).
As to (a) above, I have a guard on the front of my truck. I know a guy to hit a deer and totaled his vehicle, and another who did $26,000 worth of damage to his vehicle.
Fourth, officer Thomas should be fired for being corrupt, and officer Tatum should be fired for being so stupid.
Fifth, don’t ever talk to the police. Ever. Under any circumstances. The words are: “I invoke my fifth amendment rights and will not speak to law enforcement except in the presence of my attorney.”
Sixth, officer cameras should not have mute features.
Finally, I suspect that most state DNRs could get by with only 10% of the officers they currently have in their employ.
The Uvalde, Texas, gunman fired 117 rounds in two Robb Elementary School classrooms during a two-minute period before school police officer Adrian Gonzales entered the building, a Texas Ranger told jurors on Friday.
While prosecutors allege Gonzales did not follow his training, the defense contends that other officers arrived on scene at nearly the same time and had the opportunity to kill the gunman.
Ranger Nick Hill testified that Gonzales had a window of one minute and four seconds after he parked his car before gunman Salvador Ramos entered the school. Gonzales took three minutes and 53 seconds to enter Robb Elementary after parking his car, Hill said.
Hill said Gonzales parked at 11:31:55 a.m. and radioed in the active shooter report at 11:32:09 a.m.
Ramos entered the west side of Robb Elementary at 11:32:59 a.m., and, after firing 21 shots in a hallway, he entered the first of two classrooms at 11:33:45 a.m. Gonzales entered the south door of Robb Elementary at 11:35:48 a.m., Hill said.
In total, Ramos fired 173 shots during the massacre, while law enforcement discharged 25 rounds, Hill said. Ramos killed 19 students and two teachers.
After Hill said Gonzales had more than a minute to stop the gunman outside the school, defense lawyers pushed back, highlighting that other officers had similar — if not better — opportunities to stop the gunman.
Hill acknowledged during cross examination that three other officers arrived approximately 30 seconds after Gonzales and could more easily spot the gunman.
I’m sure they did, and I’m sure they could have. Every last officer involved that day should be stripped naked, marched to the city square, and put in stocks for the public to see.
And don’t forget that they didn’t just not do anything, they stopped brave fathers from entering the school to stop the shooting.
Make no mistake about it. This is why they hate him. Anything else is a lie and a gas-lighting fabrication to hide the truth.
They don’t want to stop the gravy train for ne’er-do-wells, criminals, morons, buffoons and the perfumed prince former generals who get on the BoD of these criminal outfits.
