Looking To The Future

We can begin with how my hometown pastor used to start every sermon: “Good News. Good News. Good News.” In the long-standing legal battle orchestrated against the National Rifle Association by New York Attorney General Letitia James — part of that state’s multi-pronged effort to destroy the NRA — we have finally prevailed!

Two candidates, two futures: One choice for gun owners

Americans understand we face a momentous presidential contest this year. There is little need for my usual warning — no less true for how often it’s been repeated — that this is the most important election of our lifetimes. Each cycle in recent years has seen a sharper divergence on Second Amendment issues between the parties and their candidates. The Republican Party’s the parties and their candidates. The Republican Party’s platform expressly speaks of the need to “defend … the right to keep and bear arms.” The Democrat Party platform, meanwhile, doesn’t even recognize the Second Amendment’s existence, and instead devotes one of its nine chapters to endorsing end-stage gun control.

Gun rights groups seeks to take down ‘gun-free zone’ status for Post Offices

The Second Circuit revokes qualified immunity

Imagine you’re a police officer. You see a vehicle committing a minor traffic violation, or maybe you don’t, but you just want to pull them over anyway. You approach the driver, who tells you he has a concealed carry permit, hands you the permit, which appears to be valid, and tells you he is carrying a handgun.

Second Circuit rules legal gun ownership not probable cause for warrantless search

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals hasn’t traditionally been a welcoming place for gun owners. This is the same appellate court that originally upheld New York’s “may issue” carry regime before the Supreme Court overturned their decision in Bruen, and since then the court has upheld many of New York’s post-Bruen restrictions on lawful gun owners.
