Rahimi oral arguments, big picture take away
(1100 words) The very first thing to note is that Mr. Rahimi isn’t actually involved with this case. He was recently interviewed in prison, where he claims to be “reformed”. He says that he will never touch another gun and wishes the case would just go away. With that out of the way, the takeaway…

The Assumptions We Make …
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Rahimi today. I’m listening to the arguments and reading the transcripts. I’ve not heard much from Justice Jackson that makes me consider her to be a “good” justice. Today she is showing some significant signs of attempting to do her job correctly. She is questioning the state, and…

Tuesday Tunes
The first couple of times this came on my feed, I was unhappy. “When I die, I don’t wanna go sober.” sounds like such an unhappy ending. My lady said something about how she really liked the song. I had to listen again. This is not about being an alcoholic. Later, I stumbled across their…

Gear Review, WWII Reproduction Web Gear
Recently, I wrote about my WWII reproduction web gear for around the house carry. The short of it is that I really like it. It is adjustable enough, it is comfortable.

An Apology
I’m sorry about the quality of this morning’s post. I read it this morning and was, “Did I write this piece of bleep?” When I started reading the opinion of the Seventh Circuit Court, I was not expecting anything in favor of The People or the Second Amendment. I remember the oral arguments. What I…

Networking – 101
B.L.U.F. All about networking. That “and anything else we can think of.” (??? words) I was asked to recommend a “Wi-Fi Router”. Unfortunately, that is not a simple question because it has implied assumptions that further complicate it. So we start with the two primary types of networking, point to point and broadcast. History The…

Robert Bevis v. City of Naperville (7th Cir., 23-1353)
B.L.U.F. The Seventh Circuit court has decided that English is not their strong point, nor is logic, nor is following the Supreme Court’s orders. Short version. More to come. (525 words) The present cases, which we have consolidated for disposition, relate to the types of “Arms” that are covered by the Second Amendment. This presents…

Friday Feedback
Another week, another change. Hagar finally got me the new fonts. I am responsible for the final look in our header. If you don’t like it, you can say so. If you like it, that would be nice to hear as well. It has been a long week at this end of the keyboard. The…

Nuanced Approach
B.L.U.F. Why do the states want a more “Nuanced Approach” and what does that actually mean? (1400 words) While the historical analogies here and in Heller are relatively simple to draw, other cases implicating unprecedented societal concerns or dramatic technological changes may require a more nuanced approach. The regulatory challenges posed by firearms today are…
