Oh, right. It's election season.
How could we ever have an election season without "the Republican is at least as bad as
Clinton,Obama,Biden,Harris would have been, fill in the blank with the next anti-gun D ...".Just another unforced error.

I still do not see this tragedy as a 2a issue. We have the right to stick our hand in a fire, but not the right to blame the fire for our charcoal fingers.
Our leos also have rights.
It's the reaction that the article is about. It's about how quickly "the most second amendment administration ever" turned on the second amendment. Not just people within the administration but the guy himself.

The ISP must comply with the law. The problem as I see it lies with the legislature that proscribes what the ISP can and cannot do.
It seems like a 4th Amendment taking at this point but who is going to pursue it?

I believe this tragedy is important to share given the ISP's present statutory obligation and policy enforcement. I very recently was able to assist a client in securing her FOID card. She was in her late 30's, a successful bar owner and single mother of a young child. When she was roughly 16 years old she was referred for a mental health evaluation at the insistence of a parent who was concerned over her behavior and possible drug use. She was able to qualify for FOID relief after meeting ISP requirements, receiving a supporting psychological assessment and submitting a successful appeal. I spoke to her late last week and she told me that it just so happened she just received her FOID card in the mail. I was informed that over the weekend she was murdered during a robbery at her bar. She was days away from having a firearm in her place of business. This information is not an indictment of ISP policy which is proscribed by statute. But shouldn't the legislature take a look at this case and see if what steps can be taken to keep this from happening again. She was 16 years old when the mental health referral was made. I am at a total loss.

This information is an indictment of ISP policy. If they had moved with the haste due a person being denied their rights she would have had time to be armed and trained for the fight for her life.

Am I remembering correctly that the multiple gun shots didn't occur until after a single shot was heard first? I have no idea who's firearm discharged, but that seemed to precipitate everything else if my memory of the video is accurate. I don't think it was merely the presence of the firearm that led to his death.
That's accurate. Some theorize his sig 320 did sig 320 things. I'm scared to share an image because I fear it may be Ai doctored, but watch the videos and gray shirt guy doesn't have his trigger finger high and pointed forward on the slide. It looks to be wrapped around the grip.
ND or uncommanded, I can't disagree.

Lawful carry
Carrying lawfully
Valid Concealed carry
Leagally carryingLots of similar verbiage…..
BUT, I know of no laws authorizing or even allowing the carry of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
Does the commission of a crime invalidate “lawful carry” or “carrying leagally”?Are you insinuating that carrying unlawfully is a death penalty crime? Can you carry unlawfully under the second amendment?

I come from the belief that a right is absolute but an absolute right is not the right to commit a crime. Bring to the discussion "reactionary gap" and "pre-attack indcators", approaching aggressively any leo with a gun on you is stupid. There is not a right to be protected from our stupidity.
Those words are all strategy. Good to pay attention to how they talk but meaningless.
This is a good video

This is not a carry or self defense gun just something to keep me busy. I am trying to get more info on good companies and ones to stay away from. I had problems in the past with p80 build and tighter tolerances from zaffari Precision slide. I have a friend call me about problems with his Geisler build and trigger not resetting. I looked on Reddit and people trash Geisler lowers.
Thank you for the info on tolerance stacking. I will definitely look into it.https://schooloftheamericanrifle.com/

I mean, the car still started even though there was a cell phone in it.

Glock store.com will ship serialized frames here.
@Dan The Man most folks are going to stray away from quality discussions because it depends so much on the firearm you get and how you use it. Anything is a good gun if you are filling a safe with interesting guns. If you're going to use it as your one firearm for self defense the math changes a bit. If you aren't going to take care of it at all (like most cops) then just get a factory glock and leave it as it came from the factory.
If you check out Chad over at the school of the American Rifle, he has lots of good discussions on stacking manufacturing tolerances.

Unless Congress repeals the law or the US Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional, another DOJ could choose to enforce it again.
Have you looked up the statute of limitations on that one yet?

So do you never prosecute street cops when they violate your rights? Or just judges, because the robe magically makes them the holy priests of our statist religion.
We are talking about judges. Judicial branch. Nobody is talking about executive branch other than they'd be the ones prosecuting the judges.

The Milwaukee judge conviction did tickle me. I just wonder what the next dem administration will do in return.

I am talking about the most egregious forms of misconduct where they REFUSE to acknowledge upper court rulings from SCOTUS and intentionally ping pong these cases around to delay them and INTENTIONALLY deprive rights........Remember it took National Guard presence to desegregate schools in the south. Its called The Bill of RIGHTS not the Bill of Privileges.
Andrew Jackson would have already dealt with these runaway communist judges and moved America forward.
No matter where you start on the slippery slope you always end up at the bottom.

I don't care what all the legal "experts" like Mark Smith say......There NEEDS to be some 1983 deprivation of rights cases against some selected officials and their co-conspirators on the bench NOW.
Until these communists FEAR CONSEQUENCES then nothing will change.
You lost me at suing judges because the leftists will use that to greater effect.
I would love to see a lawsuit against jb that seeks damages in the form of exclusive rights to his name and likeness. Good luck running for office after that.

It's the same 'start' we got with the FOID.
The minute we say it's OK we give them ammunition to say 'well you had no problem with it before, why now?'
All gun registration is an infringement as are all other laws that discourage, prevent, or make prohibitively expensive the ability to keep and bear arms.
Duh. You can't just tear it all down at once with the way our legal system works. That's why I've moved over to the not one more inch camp.

Just noticed that we ticked over the 3 month mark. Hope we get a decision soon.

On December 12, the US filed its brief.
There are a lot of amicus briefs, too.
On December 19, the State of Illinois filed an amici brief in support of the US.I wish they'd throw all these amici briefs in Raoul's face the next time his office asks for an extension. They've clearly got the time.
Asking for a friend (really) is this a crime?
