Notes From HPS

Whether the ruling will be upheld or overturned on appeal is anybody’s guess. Still, this goes far in validating those of us who were arguing years ago not to listen to useless mainstream Republican squishes — who were adamant that the intermediate benchmark was the highest goal we could hope to attain.
What this win-for-now does not do – and what gun owners had best get up to speed on and not ignore – is redirect the emphasis on the “in common use at the time” excuse for infringements. That was a phrase used by Justice Scalia in the Heller case, and has been a major concept the antis have been pinning their hopes, and their legal strategies on. And in many cases, “our side” is playing right into their hands by focusing exclusively on sporting purposes, and on self-defense against crimes by private actors.
The self defense focus is correct when applied across the board – self defense against individuals and against nation-states. I’ve said I think the Supreme Court will sustain an “assault weapons” ban. The seeds are in the awful Heller decision. Only the Fudds focus on hunting, and as I’ve said before, a sporting purpose is anything that gives me pleasure, including sitting and holding it. Finally. it occurs to me that the whole issue of intermediate scrutiny versus strict scrutiny and such divisions to stack the deck is the mark of a judicial system that doesn’t seek justice.
Muslims and sex slavery. Cheer up, women. According to the Muslim scholars (I know, that is a contradiction in terms), they can only take you as a concubine if they take you in battle. Just taking you as another wife without calling you a wife is forbidden. This will help you rest easier tonight that the religion of peace has your best interests at heart.
Remember. Migrants come because of love.
Using firearms against migrants. Oh, it’s going to have to get a lot better unanimity that one out of four.

RE: “Muslims and sex slavery”: Two words that should make every woman just love their “rights” under Islamic law: Nikah mut’ah.
Keep in mind that under Islamic law, “contracts” and “agreements” with non-Muslims are non-binding. It’s also not rape or sex slavery if a marriage can be claimed to exist, however temporary or non-binding.
That just gives you the warm fuzzies, doesn’t it?

One wonders why “feminists” aren’t all up in arms about Mohammedans. They treat women like dogs, they treat dogs like trash, and torture the rest, they toss homosexuals off buildings, and, if you are a female unlucky enough to be raped by one of these unclean sick fucks, Islam will demand that they bury the woman and beat her head in with stones, for her sin of reporting her violation, and thus causing shame for the “men” who were supposed to watch over her.
This would make a great horror movie – but most people couldn’t watch it. They just “support diversity.” Until it’s them being diversified….
