Anti-gun federal panel torpedoes right to carry in New York

That this particular panel would arrive at the conclusion they did should hardly surprise anyone who understands who they are and that expecting fair and unbiased judicial review from establishment-approved jurists with an agenda is a myth perpetuated to give such courts the appearance of authoritative legitimacy. In fact, all three of these characters have pasts and documented sympathies that would have made any other ruling improbable, to put it kindly. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a serious bit of judicial activist subversion--a huge legal setback for the Second Amendment that could pave the way for more if you and I allow it.

Hipshot

Without immersing myself in the argument--and I do think it's useful to show how the antis lie to conflate semiautos with machine guns--I do want to make one quick point about how "military-style assault weapons" have the added feature of letting one fire from the hip:

Huh.  Well, that's cool.

I always find out about these things by surprise.

Those are pleasant, welcome surprises. Others, not so much.

Imagine my surprise finding this guy feeling free to use one of my works in his publication without even asking, let alone paying.

Some years back I had to send a cease and desist to a place that sells college papers and that changed the title and a few words to one of my GUNS & AMMO magazine articles...oh, look, someone else is selling it now.

Public interest law firm files brief on Holder case as GOP ‘negotiates'

What is certain, although beyond the ken of those who think such things can be swept under a rug, is that ultimately, if justice is to be served, the “end” cannot be “quiet.” Very real crimes have been committed and very real people have been killed. Any final “settlement” that does not take that into account, and provide for a reckoning with legal consequences, will not be accepted by a core of citizen activists, whistleblowers and survivors demanding nothing less.

Holder, Malloy announce ‘Project Longevity’ aimed at Conn. gang violence

As for today’s presser in New Haven, don’t expect to see any real and lasting impact on crimes of violence, as true root causes are rarely eliminated by throwing good money after bad. Today’s event was about sharing in the spoils of the administration’s political victory, about Eric Holder advancing his agenda incrementally while feeling totally safe presenting himself to a supportive press, and about creating the illusion that those in charge really are, and that they have solutions to justify charging their positions of personal privilege to the productive sector.

About Those UN Treaties

Not about guns this time, but about that posterity our Constitution tasks the federal government to secure the blessings of Liberty for...

The Family Research Council advises:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Monday that he plans to begin floor consideration of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on Tuesday.

The United Nations' Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) would pose serious problems for the United States if it were ratified today. Though it is touted as the progeny and logical follow-up to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1991, it is in fact more of a power grab than humanitarian action.

U.S. sovereignty is at issue on a number of fronts, including that the CRPD presumes the establishment of rights contained in treaties that the United States has not ratified, including the International Covenant on Social, Economic, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). These rights are not recognized by the United States Constitution, nor are provided by existing U.S. laws - however U.S. courts could use the ratification of the CRPD to force Americans to comply with other UN treaties which are against American interests.

The original ADA equally protects the rights of all parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children, regardless of the disability status of parent or child. The CRPD would take away this right, obligating our government to ensure that "in all actions concerning children with disabilities, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration." The phrase "best interests of the child" is an international law "term of art," its meaning firmly established through consistent application by other bodies, including the Committee on the Rights of the Child. As one international legal scholar explains, "Best interests provides decision and policy makers with the authority to substitute their own decisions for either the child's or the parents' provided it is based on consideration of the best interests of the child." In ratifying the CRPD, the government would apply this standard only to parents of disabled children - a position antithetical to the protection for parents provided by the ADA.

I urge you to contact your senators today, and let them know that parents of disabled children deserve the same rights as all parents.

While I still can't seem to find the clause authorizing any branch of the federal government to be involved in this whole topic in the first place, particularly the way it's been applied in many ways essentially as a wealth transfer mechanism, there's no sense letting the UN in on the action and making it even harder to roll back abuses.
