Amid Escalating Protests, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Has Fled the Capital City of Ottawa – Canadian Safety Minister Refuses to Comfirm CBC Broadcast of Russians Surrounding the City
If he is in the right, he has nothing to fear from Truckers, but these aren't Truckers. They're Russians in disguise. Oh my! The CBC claims the Truckers have been infiltrated by Russians. Seriously? With the Left of either side of the border, it can't be the people are tired of their shit. It's always Russians.

Everything Anti-Gunners Can Do...

...to infringe on our Secend Amendment rights, they will do until they have skin in the game. They lose. They pay. Not the city. Them. Out of pocket for the legal fees incurred in fighting the constitutional violation. Make it hurt.

I won't say I consider these to be the best art ever. They accomplish the goal of the writer and artist. Ed Dodd is the former but not always the latter. He, like his cartoonist contemporaries, used assistants. I didn't buy these or the one posted earlier, and reposted here, for the art. I bought them for the subject matter and nostalgia. They're neat. I don't have a clue as to what year they were produced. It was probably late 50s to early 60s. Enjoy.

Firefly Reboot Reportedly Moving Forward At Disney Plus
I can not imagine a Firefly without Joss Whedon and the original cast. Without them it ain't Firefly and will only be a disappointment. Yes I know Whedon os a douche. No argument from me, but firefly was that collection of people and disparate elements that came together and can't be replicated. The Mouse just needs to pass on this.

The Ninth Circuit Dance

9th Circuit Court: Gun Store COVID Shutdowns Violated Constitution
Using COVID as the excuse, the County of Ventura closes gun stores and ranges. They get sued in Federal Court. The lower court sides with Ventura County. It gets appealed. A three judge panel finds the actions taken by Ventura unconstitutional in a 3-0 split. Two judges claim the Second Amendment takes some actions off the table. These being among them, and so strict scrutiny should apply. A request for an en blanc hearing will be made and the en blanc court will find the lower court was correct because we have no Second Amendment rights the the ninth Circuit is bound to respect. Then, it will be off to the Surpemes...maybe. I'm getting tired of this shit. The case is McDougall v. County of Ventura.

UPDATE: #-0 not 2-1. All agreed it was unconstitutional. The level of scrutiny was debated.

In March 2020, Ventura County, Calif. officials ordered gun stores and firing ranges to close for 48 days to fight COVID-19. But the order allowed other places, like bicycle shops, to stay open. A Second Amendment violation? Ninth Circuit: First, the 1905 case Jacobson v. Massachusetts doesn't apply. Second, strict scrutiny does apply and the County fails it. Concurrence: Could have decided this under intermediate scrutiny. Other concurrence (by the judge who authored the majority opinion): My colleagues are awful. They'll probably reverse this en banc, and to "get a jump-start" I've written this draft of what they'll say. "Sort of a win-win for everyone." (Ed.: Click here for a probing look at Jacobson.)
