Quote of the Day
The antigunners never gave up on their dream to ban handguns, they just realized that dream was deeply unpopular and decided to focus on “assault weapons” and ancillary restrictions like fees, wait times, etc.
The Glock Switch moral panic gave Everytown and the other groups cover to demand that their allies in California and other blue states sue Glock. Now, they are getting them to ban Glock.
By banning Glock and its clones, they ban the most popular handgun platform in the country. And they won’t stop there; they will find some pretext to declare other popular handgun models “too dangerous” and ban those too. Death by a thousand cuts.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has done nothing so far to stop about a dozen states from banning the most popular rifles in the country. Bruen is working out great….if you are in a pro-gun circuit. Antigun circuits like the Ninth, Second, First, etc. are treating it like a joke and have effectively re-imposed interest balancing, and are upholding pretty much all draconian gun control.
So of course antigun states are emboldened to put their toes into the handgun ban waters once again.
If the Court has any self-respect, if John Roberts cares about the legitimacy of his institution at all, they must take on a hardware case soon and make clear that bans on common firearms are unconstitutional.
And then, they must follow that up with frequent summary reversals of the inevitable antigun circuit court defiance of that ruling.

It is long past time to give the anti-gunners and the disobedient lower courts never-ending nightmares. I’d like to see it in the form of prosecutions, convictions, heavy fines, and long sentences. But that may be beyond our reach for a while. I would settle for the humiliation of being repeatedly slapped down by SCOTUS and my dream of high school machine gun sporting events.
While I support prosecution, the Supreme Court can’t do that. Only the DoJ can. It is also not clear what the Supreme Court can do about renegade judges on guns or a multitude of other issues. What the Supremes can and so far won’t do is take jurisdiction away from the inferior courts and issue summary judgment whenever a Bruen nullification law appears. It might be possible to hold renegade inferior court judges in contempt but this has seldom occurred on any issue. It took the Court until 1869 to rule as to the legality of secession. Judicial immunity is a judicial invention with no validation in the Constitution or statute. So what the Supremes invented, they can disinvent.
Curiously enough the Constitution doesn’t speak of SCOTUS regulating the lower courts.
There is of course always impeachment. Perjury (of the oath of office promising fidelity to the Constitution) is an obvious remedy. So is criminal prosecution on that charge.
Impeachment is a paper tiger and won’t happen. If perjury on the oath of office was a thing, all the judges would be gone
Congress sets the jurisdiction and organization of the lower courts. They’re just too gutless to do it.
The gun grabbing left NEVER gives up, never quits, never goes away. As long as we allow them to exist they will work incessantly to destroy freedom and take away Rights.
