Notes From HPS

“Question 1” referred to in the docket means the Court is only taking on the “recklessness” question. They will not rule on whether a firearm ban due to a domestic violence conviction violated rights under the Second Amendment.
Unannounced at this writing is an even more eagerly anticipated question, whether the Court will grant cert in the case of Friedman v. City of Highland Park, a challenge to the city’s ban on militia-suitable firearms and standard capacity magazines. The docket notes the case was “DISTRIBUTED for Conference of October 30, 2015” on Monday, so word of whether or not the case will be heard was expected.
Let’s forget the issue of how or why the statute was broken (or in other words, the issue of “recklessness”). This is a trivial question compared the databank of second amendment rulings, and the fact that they refuse even to consider the issue means that they are running scared on the issue of rights to gun ownership generally, not specific to this case.
Via Mike Vanderboegh, Marco Rubio’s new billionaire backer is a top funder of open borders. Of course he is, because Rubio is an open borders freak. Count me out as far as the elections go if the choice is Rubio. I’ll walk the dog, grill steaks, clean my guns, and catalog my ammunition.
Via Mike Vanderboegh, Georgia becomes a border state for violent illegal immigrants. Of course. It’s all by design. It’s all as it was intended to be. You understand that, right?
Bear spray is harder to transport through the TSA than firearms. Not surprising. I’m no fan of use of bear spray anyway – or at least, not without firearms as a backup.
Firearms records languish at national tracing center. Good. Very good. Let’ keep it that way.
This is what happens when you hate yourself and your heritage.
