From my friend, Alex Kozinski: The district judge, Benitez, decided a different case where he held that the buyer pre-approval requirement for buying ammo in California violated the Second Amendment, but a Ninth Circuit motions panel stayed the injunction, so that law continues in effect. But this opinion (assuming it doesn’t go en banc) will

I love this so much! For America. “The three-judge panel ruled that the ban violates the Second Amendment.” The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday threw out a California law banning high-capacity ammunition magazines, ruling that the measure violates citizens’ constitutionally protected right to bear arms. The ban, passed in the wake of mass

Trying to dissolve an organization engaged in political speech should not occur absent overwhelming proof that it is a criminal enterprise… When the liberal law community goes off the reservation, you can expect George Washington School of Law professor Jonathan Turley to offer his grounded commentary on why they’re wrong.

Fraud and misappropriation of funds are common scandals in the nonprofit world. The leader of the United Way of America, for instance, was found to have used organization funds for

Infringing on the Second Amendment. NEW YORK – With gunshots ringing out inside the Westside Rifle and Pistol range in Flatiron, workers say a lot more city residents want to be licensed gun owners. “In New York City, everyone, they feel very, very threatened,” said salesman John Aaron. “They see the rioting going on, people

Imagine that! Neighbors denied access to a large group of aggressive protestors who tried to gain entry into Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best’s home in Snohomish County. The protesters said they did not plan on causing harm but wanted to “make some noise” and to talk to the police chief about the fate of the

“America’s gun owners deserve a lobbying organization that is effective, a good steward of its resources, and focused on its mission. The NRA would be just fine without Wayne LaPierre or any of its other leaders. Its power comes not from its executives or its lobbyists’ rhetorical skills, but its large and motivated membership. The
