New York Court Order Concludes Gun Permit Insufficient Cause for Car Search


“The Court does not find that the search of the Defendant's car was justified in any manner and accordingly grants the Defendant's motion and suppresses any evidence obtained from the search of the Defendant's car,” George E. Fufidio, Judge of the Westchester County Court wrote.  [More]
I see some in comments questioning the defendant's choices. That's not the significance of this, the judge's order is. Since the DA is going to appeal, the issue is what can permit holders do to make sure the judge's opinion is not overturned?

Public university admits it exempts race-based clubs from discrimination rules to give them a ‘safe space’ [More]
And no, of course not everyone is allowed to decide what's kept out of a safe space for them. Depending, that would be racist!

The Equalizer

Missoula math prof 'made use of my handgun to tip the balance of power' in home invasion [More]
What a weakling, right, "entertainer Henry Rollins"?

And so much for bloodthirsty gun owners-- the presence of a firearm in moral hands actually averted violence.

Curious, how Opposite Day "progressives" claiming egalitarian motives are so rabidly opposed to equalizers...

So THAT's What the Founders Meant...

The alarming upshot of the ruling is its suggestion that Title IX may sometimes require colleges to censor or block all students’ access to certain internet sites or services based solely on anonymous statements made in an online forum that the university does not control, by people who may not be on campus, or even affiliated with the university at all.

I mean, read it yourself...

No Sympathy

This Parkland dad blamed gutlessness, not guns, for tragedy. For that he faced vile abuse [More]
Right. Anyone opposing totalitarians must be destroyed.

They sure know how to lead "Republicans" around by the nose.

Incrementalism

Too many firefighters are white men and that’s a problem that needs to be fixed [More]
What they really mean is too many citizens are white men and that's a problem that needs to be fixed.

We're the Only Ones Familial Enough

Florida deputy kills 3 family members, including child, then himself [More]
So using widely-parroted gun-grabber "logic," all police officers are law-abiding until they're not?

Incoming Democrats Ready Bill That Will Criminalize Private Gun Sales [More]
If they were truly interested in background checks as opposed to identifying gun owners, they'd be satisfied with BIDS.

And there's plenty more here, although some of the links will need to be looked up in the Wayback Machine. Alan Korwin and I tried to bring it up at the GRPC a few years back and were shut down by "the management."

The Intolerable Act

Bump Stock Rule Bumps Up Against the Constitution [More]
Good analysis.

I just checked the Federal Register and don't see it published yet. I believe tomorrow is the day the clock will start.

Have you read the rule?  I mean really read it?

Anyone bloviating about bump stocks being expendable and how we were lucky that this is the hit "we" took either hasn't or didn't understand the implications of what they were reading.

Have you seen the destruction mandate? Cut or don't cut a piece the wrong way as ordered and possession means we're gonna getcha. Obey or be destroyed.

It strikes that not only redefines "machinegun," it de facto redefines "firearm" if having the wrong slice of plastic stock is enough to put us away.

These are terms of surrender. This is an Intolerable Act.

We're the Only Ones Multi-Tasking Enough

Webster County Sheriff Timothy Seth Mitchell, 53, was charged with two counts of embezzlement; two counts of trafficking in stolen firearms; one count of attempting sex and/or sexual acts with an inmate; one count of tampering with physical evidence; three counts of retaliation against a witness; one count of permitting possession and/or sale of controlled substance in jail; and two counts of furnishing an inmate with weapons, cell phone, and narcotics.   [More]

Give it a few years and anyone against it will be "haters," with all the social and economic ostracism that implies.

I won't be surprised to see the learning and performance of acts part of the required school curriculum.

Rhymes with 'Wall-less'

GUTLESS PRESIDENT IN WALL-LESS COUNTRY [More]
You wouldn't think a man so beset by mortal enemies would drive away those who want to support him and the promises he made.

I still see those insisting that this, the "bump stock" disaster (and convince me Deep State Fairfax didn't set him up on that) and the rest of his recent reversals are all part of some genius move where he's three steps ahead of everybody.

This is like a Greek tragedy unfolding before us.

Besides, they've served their use to her.

It's part of the narrative.
