Fingers crossed!

That sucks. So do we wait for Snopes, or is there an opinion coming from this panel on the merits? (Or both?)

Key line right there on page 75. I think McGlynn had mentioned suppressors as safety items during the trial.

Another shooting today, on the Red Line. 23 year old woman shot a 33 year old man after she started an argument with him.

I'm hoping someone take some still shots from Band of Brothers and/or Saving Private Ryan, and includes them with links to https://thecmp.org/ (Pics are already here. https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Saving_Private_Ryan https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Band_of_Brothers) Would love for the 7th to explain their own disconnect on military weapons. What surplus military rifles are available right now on CMP's sales site? Let's find out. https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle-sales/ Krag https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/krag-jorgensen-rifles/ M1917 Enfield https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1917-enfield-rifle-information/ M1903 https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1903-m1903a3-rifle-information/ M1 Carbine https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1-carbine-information/ M1 Garand https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1-garand/ Can't can't forget this one: 1911 https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/1911-information/ It is an interesting position the 7th has taken, especially with considerations to the M1 Garand (clip fed semi-auto) and M1 Carbine (mag fed semi-auto). A program originally created by the US government for actual 2A usage, offers surplus military weapons to the public. But according to the 7th, these "military" weapons are not covered under the 2nd Amendment, although I think the Garand is OK under PICA. The Carbine is "iffy" due to the mag. Yeah, good luck squaring that circle of a non-sensical argument.

It is crazy, because US vs Miller says the opposite, and that only military style guns are protected that would work for a well regulated militia. But that whole trial was a mess anyway.

I'd like to know as well. So is there a chance of a PI soon?

Happy Friday! Happy Father's day weekend! What great news (especially with the brace ban news as well!)

It is a twisted story. AR-10 -> AR-15 ->XM-16 The Air Force fielded the AR-15 (eventually GAU's) while everyone else went XM-16. The Air Force (and Stoner) didn't think Forward Assist was necessary, hence the split. That is the "major" difference between the original (slick side) AR-15 and the XM-16 (there were a few other smaller updates like gates and stuff). If you look at some of the weapons our "advisors" used early on in Vietnam, along with the original Colt Sporter, you will see that they are slick-sides. https://thecoltar15resource.com/2020/12/20/december-1964-shooting-times-article-on-the-colt-sporter/ There are even original military lowers out there stamped both AR-15 AND XM-16, but that was all during the early transitions. However, the early AR-15 mentioned above is not the same as the "civilian" AR-15's, with the big difference being the lowers are cut differently to accommodate full auto capability. The semi-only cuts (high shelf vs low shelf vs full cut) were never used by the military as they cannot accommodate the parts needed for select fire function. Edit, I should add. If one looks, the different cuts are available. But the point was that the "civilian' AR-15's were mostly semi-auto only. However, there were full-auto AR-15's available to the public. While "legal" at the time, I'm not sure if that was Colt's intention or not, being that they were also selling their Semi-auto only Sporter. It is a fascinating history. \ LOL, look at those EARLY charging handles on the original AR's.

Caulkins should leave Illinois. Or maybe just move to Crook County.

That sucks

I thought denial of a Constitutional right is always irreparable harm?

Yeah, seems like that just helped speed things up.

If the Naperville AWB gets struck down as unconstitutional, what happens to the city next door? The city of Aurora has had an AWB on the books for decades. I don't think it is enforced, but I assume it goes bye-bye. Same with Crook County and a few others.

I was half-way listening to it. It sounds like +$7M in indirect contributions from a specific source. I wasn't fully clear on that source, but I think it was someone who leads up anti-gun fundraising. Maybe someone else can chime in with a clearer picture.
