It's About Free Speech

Free Speech and Banned Books

This ongoing argument about downloading digital code so you can us a multitude of devices to make firearms is as much a issue of the First Amendment as the Second with the weight going toward the First. The anti's argument seems to be this information is dangerous and digital so its not protected like a book would be. We can ban it. Ummm. OK. The 3-D printing code for the Liberator pistol is now in book form. Let's see how the courts feel about banning that. The stopper is out of the drain guys. You can't put it back in.

What's Old is New Again

The 1986 Plastic Gun Panic: How the gun control lobbies nearly tricked Congress into banning millions of ordinary guns.

It's a good article by Dave Kopel. The gun control lobby must have a file tucked away somewhere containing their list of tired failed arguments waiting for the next round.

Cherry Pick Your Judge and Your Circuit...

...and who knows what the outcome will be. We're long pass the notion that Judges are subject to the Constitution. Sixty years of Miller being used to limit the Second Amendment and ten years of ignoring Heller and McDonald show that.

Make That Lawsuits

20 states take aim at 3D gun company, sue to get files off the Internet

Good for him.

Another Win for the Good Guys

A group of anti-gun activists’ bid to thwart a State Department settlement with Cody Wilson’s Defense Distributed was dealt a crushing blow Friday when their Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction was rejected.

The judge in the case ruled that Gabby Giffords, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and Michael Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety had no standing in the case.

...and I hope that slap down f**king hurt.
