To Serve Man
A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and the worst impacts of climate change, a UN report said today. [More]Unless you're one of the Kanamit rulers:
Chi-Town Three.333pers
The report’s authors estimated about 1,400 black-market gun sales occurred each year in the Grand Boulevard-Washington Park neighborhood, “or about one sale per year for every 30 people living in this very high-crime neighborhood.” [More]Me, I think Tim-Tom and Jody the Brave ought to personally go down there and round 'em all up--and stick a bayonet up the butt of anyone who objects.

Who Ordered the McDonald's Combo?
NRA-ILA's Chris Cox has a column about the McDonald case in the July issue of Guns & Ammo. It's not online that I can find, but here's something I'm having trouble with:
I'm trying to square the G&A claim Cox makes about "combined cases" with this:
And yeah, I'm aware of Paul Clement's due process argument. That still doesn't mean the cases were "combined."
Anyone have knowledge to let us know there's nothing to see here?
This month, the Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling in the combined cases of McDonald et al. v. City of Chicago and NRA et al. v. Village of Oak Park, Illinois, challenging Chicago's and Oak Park's handgun bans...The two Illinois cases, now commonly referred to as McDonald, follow the Court's landmark 2008 Heller decision, which struck down Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban on Second Amendment grounds..."Can anyone point to where the High Court accepted any case other than the McDonald case filed by the Second Amendment Foundation? Because they did not accept the NRA's case for review.
I'm trying to square the G&A claim Cox makes about "combined cases" with this:
The Federal District Court, though not combining the three cases, acknowledged that all three were substantially the same lawsuits, and accepted Gura’s case rather than allowing all three to run through the court simultaneously, which is not uncommon.Sorry, but I've just seen too many times where credit has been an issue--and it's never been due to SAF.
And yeah, I'm aware of Paul Clement's due process argument. That still doesn't mean the cases were "combined."

I also like the concept of "law pollution" and think we all ought to use it.

A New Slogan
Attorneys for Legal Community Against Violence will host a conference call with political leaders, law enforcement officials and others to brief members of the media on McDonald v. Chicago on the day the Supreme Court announces its decision. [More]To add to Orwell's maxims, no doubt?
You know:
War is peace.And now:
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Losing is winning.In a way. But hold off on any victory dance. Yes, expect a close decision that the outright ban must go. But, as with Heller, don't think for a moment that a thousand infringements won't be allowed to stand--and even move forward. And all the High Court has to do to "approve" them is not hear a challenge.
Expect LCAV to tell us all about how they plan on persisting to subvert.
Nevada's U.S. Senate Primary Features Three Gun Rights Questionnaire Respondents and One Holdout
What better race to assert ourselves than one with the potential to unseat one of the nation's most powerful politicians? And what better primary to have maximum influence on than one with a predicted low turnout? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a lever and a place to stand.
This Day in History: June 8
From the kind anxiety expressed in your letter as well as from other sources of information we discover that our enemies have filled Europe with Thrasonic accounts of victories they had never won and conquests they were fated never to make. While these accounts alarmed our friends in Europe they afforded us diversion. We have long been out of all fear for the event of the war. I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence. This is the best history of the war which can be brought within the compass of a letter. [More]
