Bevis v. City of Naperville, Petition for Rehearing in Banc
B.L.U.F. Hagar says I have to use the “more” button. The cases heard by the Seventh Circuit court three judge panel found that AR-15s aren’t arms under the protection of the Second Amendment. That magazines aren’t arms under the Second Amendment. That handguns can be banned and that all was right and wonderful with PICA.…

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners v. Polis, rogue Court
B.L.U.F. Another day, another rogue inferior court scratching for anything that allows them to upload an infringement. This time it is a CO law requiring a waiting period before taking possession of a legally purchased firearm. The mental gymnastics this Jimmy Carter appointee goes through would make Mary Lou Retton jealous. (1250 words) After examining…

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…

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…

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…

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…
