It looks like the ATF is on the ropes. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals just issued a preliminary injunction pending appeal in the Mock v. Garland case. This is great news and provides strong clues as to how the case will finally be resolved. One criterium, but the only, when it comes to issuing a preliminary injunction is “likelihood of success based on the merits of the case.”
I had heard of, but never attended, one of Tony Simon’s 2A4E Diversity Shoots before. I’m sorry I didn’t. I attended the most recent one, in Monroe, NJ, and I had one of the most memorable and enjoyable times at a shooting range that I can recall. People from all walks of life were in attendance. It shattered general assumptions of mine. Everyone had a great time, we laughed alot, and I recommend everyone attend at least once. This effort is worthy of our support!
Judge Bumb went to great lengths to write a well-thought opinion in the matter of a preliminary injunction against New Jersey’s so-called carry killer law which invalidates public carry of firearms in the vast majority of the state. As she pointed out, the legislators who got the bill passed, as well as the state attorneys that are currently defending the new law, have not done any research and have nothing to support their claims of constitutionality.
Despite anti-gunners’ claims of a victory, it was highly expected and par for the course for the US Supreme Court not to take up matters on interlocutory appeal except in extraordinary circumstances. The Supreme Court recently denied emergency intervention in the case of the Illinois assault weapon and high cap mag ban. As previously reported, SCOTUS is watching this case closely.
Yesterday, May 16, Judge Bumb issued a Preliminary Injunction in the now-consolidated Siegel and Koons carry killer cases that falls squarely on the side of 2nd Amendment freedoms. Right up there with the Bruen decision, this is one of the biggest and best 2A court rulings the Garden State has ever seen. The case isn’t over and could take some time to reach a final conclusion but the PI is a great indicator that we have some permanent freedom coming our way!
In further proving the war against freedom and the 2nd Amendment will never end, the left has just passed a bill in Vermont which was just signed into law by their republican governor. The state of Vermont has just outlawed paramilitary training. What is paramilitary training under this law? Whatever the left says it is.
Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate. Before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals is a conglomeration of consolidated cases dealing with recent “high capacity” magazine bans and “assault weapon” bans out of the state of Illinois. The court just further consolidated substantially similar arms ban cases brought about after recent legislation.
Continuing an all-too-common trend as of late, another lower court ignored legal precedent set by the US Supreme Court in both the Heller and Bruen cases. The federal district court in Bevis v. Naperville recently fabricated its own “particularly dangerous weapon” test and fully ignored the “in common use” and “dangerous AND unsual” tests. Seems this one might just be headed to the Supreme Court.
It’s no secret that the left’s lack of principles and morals is seeping into every part of our daily lives. They’ve gotten there by being louder, more active, and playing dirty. For the sake of our children’s futures and our rights in general, conservatives need to stand up, speak up, and get louder and more active than ever. We can regain ground!
Today, federal Judge Stephen McGlynn handed a huge victory to the plaintiffs in a now-consolidated case challenging the recently-enacted “assault weapon” ban in Illinois. A preliminary injunction has been issued so that the new law cannot be enforced as the plaintiffs are likely to win on the merits of the case.
There are some states and their leaders that just don’t “get it”. Our state, New Jersey, is definitely one of those. But today, Washington State Governor Inslee had some incredibly ignorant words to say as he signed an assault weapons ban into law. The part they “don’t get” is that they CAN”T ban AR-15s. They will find out very soon.
Here in New Jersey, we are either excited about what’s going on with the 2nd Amendment or anxious about how upcoming court battles will pan out. One thing is for sure: we are on a path to victory for civil rights in the Garden State and nationwide.
