  1. The objective result of this latest tussle shows we waited too long and let Iran build up too much of a stockpile. Whoever thought we had sufficient stocks of interceptors in the region got it wrong. 

     

    I'm no fan of the cheeto man, but if all his bets pay off our kids will live in a free and open world like our great grandparents did. We've really been at war since wwii.

    If the en banc rehearing reverses Benson, does that automatically void the plaintiffs' citation, or do the plaintiffs have to withdraw that citation themselves?

     

    If the plaintiffs have to withdraw the citation themselves, I can see the 7CA panel playing games and saying "Plaintiffs agree with the mag ban!" and handing them the L before the withdrawal.  I hope the judicial system is better than that, though.

     

    I'd expect the other side to file the new ruling as an additional authority without the part about it not being binding. Probably sprinkle in some stuff about the last 100 years of rulings to try to use it to make the arguments for people's rights seem absurd.

    Letitia James says body armor has a "propensity to terrify the public" and can turn you into a "fortified threat"

     

    Letitia James desperately wants a judge to believe body armor isn’t protected by the Second Amendment

     

    Somebody needs to blow up a pic of the NYPD officers that are always smokin and jokin in Times Square wearing chest rigs with beat up usgi mags sticking out. Hold that up while she's making this nonsense argument in court.

    Do I have this correct?

     

    Gun Violence Prevention PAC pulled their endorsement of Ms. Stoneback, in favor of Rep. Olickal, because she failed to vote on a bill requiring fingerprints for gun ownership.  She says her non-vote was in protest of an amendment making the bill weaker than she preferred.  But she was still about as anti-gun as can be.

    It's great, isn't it?

    It is claimed, by Dr. Douglas, that this bill would save the state $2.5 Billion over 5 years, but he earlier claimed the cost per firearm would only increase $88.  That equates to 5,681,818 guns sales in Illinois per year.

     

    I wonder if he has considered the possibility that they may block sales to the state.

    Buy a drink, go to a R rated movie, buy a license to fish, or hunt, drive a car, buy cigarettes or vape, register a vehicle, drive a vehicle, CDL, and even checkout a book from the library....  You need an ID, but here, you need not have the ID to vote for your President or those who we allow to govern, and you know why? They want all the illegals to have a vote to insure a one party outcome. This is a fact, for any critical thinker, or 8th grader who hasn't been programmed.  Colleges, don't even get me started on those Hitler youth. 

     

     

     

     

     

    None of those rights are enshrined in the constitution. 

     

    This becomes an unfunded mandate on the states to provide ID for free. I guess you could argue passports are the thing that should be free but either way, that resolves the objection.
