Cook County is trying to get the case dismissed following Mr. Viramontes's departure from it, absurdly arguing that when the question presented says "AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles," that somehow doesn't include the Galil our other individual petitioner wants to buy. Even as they admit the law also bans it! And of course SAF is a petitioner as well, and has other members in Chicago. Cook County may have just foolishly guaranteed that the eventual ruling won't be inadvertently limited to just the AR15 platform. Not that it ever should have been; "and similar semiautomatic rifles" always meant more than just AR15s to cover firearms like the Galil, that's the whole point. But by drawing attention to that aspect of the question presented, I think it closes the book on the concern that the ruling could be misread as only applying to AR15s specifically.
We are aware of Cook County's filing. There is every reason that this case should continue, both on behalf of the remaining individual plaintiff, as well as on behalf of SAF's members. Furthermore, the Second Amendment Foundation has a second case, Grant v. Higgins, which was granted cert on this exact issue. This issue will be addressed by the Supreme Court.

Today we learned you cannot buy a moped online without having to be background checked, you're not allowed to drive it to school, need a permit to even buy one in several states, and most are banned in New York. Among many other things. Shocking news.

Buddy there’s less regulation around guns than mopeds. This ain’t the musket days. Shit needs to change.

Harmeet Dhillon will go down as one of the most prolific Second Amendment champions to serve in the Department of Justice. Under her watch, the federal government championed gun rights in a way not seen since Reconstruction. We are very sad to see her go, and we hope to see her replaced with someone who values the Second Amendment just as much. Whoever they are, they will have big shoes to fill.
Replying to @HarmeetKDhillon
@HarmeetKDhillon has been fighting for Second Amendment protected rights since day one. Through the DOJ, she and her team have filed dozens of lawsuits all over the United States where our rights have been infringed. As she returns to private practice, we wish her great success in her future endeavors.

🚨 BREAKING: Incoming House Judiciary Chair Jamie Raskin promised in an interview that UNIVERSAL GUN REGISTRATION would be one of the Democrats’ top priorities in the upcoming Congress. It’s barely been 36 hours. They aren’t waiting. They’re coming after your guns.

Its cute you think that Americans think about Canada at all.
lots of Americans saying 'Canada, can we be friends again?'. Well, no actually. You showed us who you are. you demonstrated how quickly the tide can turn and how easily one man with power can reject 200 years of friendship. Lesson learned. We will adjust accordingly.

“If women are behind on a metric, it’s recorded as inequality. If men are behind, it’s recorded as parity. You read that correctly: The index is explicitly designed so that men cannot be seen as disadvantaged, no matter how far behind they fall.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/t…

They should. They won't, though.
The @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP should work to pass a reconciliation package in the next 8 weeks to take away leverage points from Democrats on spending.

M*A*S*H: M*A*S*H was so progressive that they implied Trapper and Ginger were an item and nobody had an issue with it. Person: That’s great. M*A*S*H fan: Also, at the beginning, they had a Black doctor who worked with them. Person: Really? What was his name? M*A*S*H fan:

So a psychotic satanic mass murderer that transferred his soul into a doll would prefer Democrats? I have no problem believing this.
Don Mancini, creator of Chucky, declares the horror doll would be backing Democrats, not Republicans: “Chucky has a trans kid. Chucky protects the dolls. Chucky is anti-ICE. […] Too bad, Nicki! No AI, by the way! #bluewave”

And Hollyweird think they are the bastion of Morals and can LECTURE middle america and the rest of the world.
Dafne Keen says she was offered cocaine at Hollywood wrap parties when she was around 11 years old. “I don’t really have any interest in that.” (via youtu.be/QjDOK7fuhps?si=lmnl…)

OK, folks, I need you. When you see a post that involves some leftist talking about now coming after our guns, let me know. Link it in a reply here, tag me, do whatever you need to do. I need a collection of them. The bigger the account, the better.

I love how the blue wave is celebrating a new era of leadership with Chuck Schumer as likely Majority Leader.
