It's more likely that if a vacancy came up on the Supreme Court under Biden, they would offer her that life appointment - something far more attractive than a Senate seat that she would have to compete for every 6 years.

Kamala would never take a downgrade like that.

Focus people, focus... Our common goal here is to focus on full restoration and reactivation of our Second Amendment rights.

The real answers to these problems are too complex and too difficult, and so deeply entrenched in dysfunctional social systems and politics, that they default to the easy answers - targeting people who are law abiding. LP

Yes, there are other conditions that must be fulfilled as well, just to get into the IROCC system. I was just referring to the annual qualification and cost requirements, which differ considerably from the non-LEO process. And of course it's worth noting that most other states do not have the restrictive bureaucracy that Illinois has built up around LE retirees carrying. But then, this is Illinois...

Not exactly. Retired law enforcement have to qualify annually to retain an IROCC card. Incidentally, it's not a free pass -- it's $75 a year for one gun, and $100 a year if you want to qualify on both revolver and autoloader.

That would get it down to 12 minutes -- still way too much material for the average person to absorb and usefully retain all but the most high profile content. So make all your important points in three minutes, and then if you want, add on the ego-driven or entertaining stuff that causes attention drift for many people when interspersed with the core points. Of course that might not work in an internet environment where clicks and monetization are big motivators. Yeah, color me cynical. But realistic.

I'm sorry, I just can't drag myself through lengthy Youtube presentations like that anymore. If only those commentators would provide a separate sort of executive summary in about two or three minutes, I think they would be able to draw a lot more people into the fold.

"... or prevents them from being able to care for themselves." ?????? How vague and practically difficult is that to implement in a fair and constitutional manner?

That's taken care of.

I made a point of amending my will to specifically identify to whom my guns were to be given upon my death. My thought was to remove any question or ambiguity about their legal disposition.

And along those same lines, a departing assistant states attorney in Cook County has this to say about the situation here. https://www.chicagocontrarian.com/blog/departing-cook-county-prosecutor-upbraids-kim-foxx-in-searing-exit-letter

Over the long run, one could visualize a situation where having training in some modest way protects you against litigation or prosecution, while not being trained makes you more vulnerable. I'm not saying this is the way it should be. I'm just saying given the way our society is trending, it's not beyond possibility.

If only just one more Supreme Court decision would resolve this for all time... The antis are going to try to ferret out every nook and cranny available to them, and litigate every one to the fullest extent they can. And in most cases they will have the resources of government behind them to prevent the exercise of our rights. It's going to be a real tough and long battle on many fronts.
