Meanwhile in Massachusetts

[Marshal Tom]

I grew up in Greenwich Conn and summered on Marthas Vineyard since I was born. I moved to the Vineyard in 71 and was a cop and an EMT there for 9yrs when I moved to Colorado in 1980. I have family on the Vineyard and still go back to visit but no way could I live there or Connecticut. I am sorry to say that Colorado is no longer what it used to be either.

This is a page out of NY's playbook. It will be challenged and it will be defeated. Making current guns illegal to own equals confiscation. SCOTUS won't allow it. These blue states throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and hope some of it sticks.

But some of it does stick. A Little more with each throw. Eating the elephant.
I do, however, admire your optimism, and faith in the rule of law.

It is so sad that the birthplace of our great republic is sinking into the deplorable tyranny that we fought the Revolutionary War to escape.

The irony is insane. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss, or so some song goes.

By the way, Americans paid less taxes under King George than under their current "free" modern system.

 

[stansdds]

I still think the plan is for states to continue to make anti-constitutional laws until the SCOTUS changes or is changed and becomes an anti-constitutional court. The SCOTUS has reversed on previous decisions, what would keep a future SCOTUS from reversing on prior pro-2A decisions?

Illinois is making me nervous.

I think the only thing saving us is so many down-staters would have a fit.

I've been to Lexington quite often and it's safe to say that the current residents of the town would be on the side of the British.

No. Today SCOTUS released it's order list and one of the cases granted cert. is out of the 5th Circuit. The Court will decide whether confiscating firearms based on a civil domestic restraining order is within the bounds of the Second Amendment.

The 5CA struck down the provision of federal law mandating that, and then denied an en banc rehearing request by the government.

The 5CA specifically cited both Heller and Bruen as forbidding this type of prohibition on exercise of 2A rights. The case will be heard this fall and the decision will probably be released next spring. Or maybe sooner.

Yeah, but the heat and humidity...

 

[GaryS]

I'll trade if for having to clear a foot of "partly cloudy" off my driveway. Of it being too cold half the year to do much outside.

Yeah, but the heat and humidity...

Possibly, but how many years will that take?
And if the SC were to rule against the state, it is very likely prosecutors will simply ignore the ruling and do as they wish.

Se Fl has two seasons, our "Summer " season is when northerners are shoveling snow, our windows are open and Ac is off.

The rest of the year is called "TOO DANG HOT " you basicly go from your ac house to ac mall or ac work In your ac car.
Btw it's much cheaper to cool a house than heat it.
Another option is to find a shady spot on the beach where it's breezy all day and count thongs.

only 1% of SCOTUS rulings ever get overturned. There really needs to be some serious legal grounds to stand on before they can justify it. Because we said so isn't one of them.

It actually is a very simple case. They could easily decide it without even hearing arguements. As reprehensible as Rahimi is, he does have Rights, and that one was never taken away based on criminal proceedings.

 

[Racer X]

They just keep ignoring SCOTUS rulings.

because there is no penalty when they do.

 

[Narragansett]

I think if people here were told they could get rid of fire ants with a little plutonium, they would probably go to Walmart and try to buy some. Nothing kills them; they just move on somewhere else. LOL

I still have 3 quarts of 74% liquid chlordane. It kills everything. Need to get to the disposal site

Florida has four seasons.

1. Hot
2. Still Hot
3. That one week where it isn't that Hot.
4. Hot is back.

Beach Thong Watching is a national sport at South Beach.

We'll see what really makes it onto the house floor. They tend to do this every session and it dies without a vote. I'm not sure about who introduced it so I don't know what their reelection status is but sometimes they like to introduce bills, knowing that they wont pass, just to placate a part of their constituency. I think that may happen this time because there has been no publicity about it other than the announcement. Usually if it has a chance of passage, there will be a lot of pols who will jump on the band wagon and be all over the place talking about it. That hasn't happened with this one. Of course it is Massachusetts so anything could happen.

 

[GaryS]

The MA Senate bill released earlier this week is far worse in many ways.

GOAL - S2572 Summary

 

[rwsmith]

I'm sure that those measures.....

...will really slow down criminals and shooters. Yeah, right.

 

[white cloud]

I feel for you guys.

I live in a very rural county in the deep south. The county has passed a 2nd amendment sanctuary law, the sheriff has stated that the department will not enforce any gun control legislation and the prosecutor is a very conservative Baptist.
