Hanson v. D.C. (ammunition feeding device ban) – Updated
B.L.U.F. Another District Judge gets it wrong because they are another rogue judge. Somehow, I managed to analyze this case twice. The first was back in April. The quoting is better, the references/citations are better. The snark is about the same. I believe it suggests that I’m getting a little better at this. The first…

O.F.F. v. Brown, Judges Opinion Pt. 2
B.L.U.F.More of analysis of the horrid opinion offered by Judge Karin Immergut out in Oregon. I’ve since learned that she spent most of her career, before becoming a district judge, working as a prosecutor for the government. She was actually a prosecutor for the ATF. OF course, she found a gun infringement constitutional. It is…

Oregon Firearms Federation, Inc. v. Brown, Judges Opinion
B.L.U.F. An analysis of the horrible opinion out of Oregon where the district Judge decided that arms aren’t covered under the Second Amendment and that there is a history and tradition of requiring government approval before you can exercise your Second Amendment protected rights. This opinion is 122 pages long. This is not a complete…

Ocean State Tactical, LLC v. State of Rhode Island Reply Brief
B.L.U.F.We took a look at the bad guy’s arguments via Everytown earlier this week. Today we look at the reply brief submitted by the appellants/plaintiffs (good guys). There is a huge issue that the good guys have to overcome in these cases, getting the Court to do their job. If you look at the plain…

Ocean State Tactical, LLC v. State of Rhode Island (1st Cir)
B.L.U.F.Looking at another amicus brief by Everytown. Since they are consistently filing briefs in all these Second Amendment cases, it behooves us to see what they are saying. I came back to add this text. You might get angry with Everytown over this brief. Regardless, they did a good job. Their arguments are self-consistent. They…

5th Cir. vs 7th Cir., oral arguments
I admit the reason I bothered to do the transcription for this case is because I was playing with my tools. I’m to the point where I am either going to have to learn more, write my own, and learn enough about deep learning and AI training to be able to get the results I…

Bevis v. Naperville (7th Cir.) oral arguments, analysis
B.L.U.F. An examination of how judges act and how to read the tea-leaves. Also, the sorts of ridiculous things that are said and don’t get rebutted. The head judge is Frank Easterbrook. He has a history of dumping on the Second Amendment at every chance he can. He is the judge who got means-end into…

Roberrt Bevis v. City of Naperville (7th Cir.)
This is the oral arguments for the above case. This is an AW/LCM ban case. I hope you don’t have high blood pressure. I’m going to be reading this tomorrow and figuring out what some of the dumbest things said were. Case argued by Erin Murphy for Amicus Curiae National Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc. and…

In their own words
When you read court opinions, it is sometimes hard going. I use the term “emotional blackmail” to describe the type of argument which is based on feels instead of facts. The children will die if you don’t… Women will die in back alley abortions if you… People will solve disagreements in bloody gun fights if…

inJustice Jackson
B.L.U.F. A look at the recent Affirmative Action case before the Supreme Court. Originally, I intended to take Jackson apart with her own words. Instead, this is the Constitutionalist on the Court doing it for me. Having read Roberts’, Thomas’ and Gorsuch’s opinion and concurrence, it is pretty obvious that they are not sitting silent…
