"President Donald Trump’s Saturday announcement of his Supreme Court pick will spark a lightning-quick confirmation attempt by Senate Republicans that now seems almost certain to occur before the election." politico.com/news/2020/09/2…
"After Trump’s reveal, Senate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is expected to quickly lay out a hearing schedule for October, and the nominee will begin meeting with individual senators next week, according to senators and aides."
"Other than two dissenting GOP senators, no one thus far in the 53-member conference is arguing to wait for a lame duck session — let alone the next Congress — to hold a confirmation vote. McConnell only needs a simple majority."
"Barrett in particular could move quickly given her vetting for a vacant Supreme Court seat in 2018... Since Trump and GOP leaders don't need either centrist Republican senator, Barrett pretty much already has the 51 other votes locked up, pending any new revelations."

Update: Everytown's lawyers are trying to join this lawsuit. civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/CaseDetail/Pub…
Everytown wants to amend the complaint to claim that Ruger violated the NFA by selling guns with pistol braces: civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/DocumentInquir…

The defendants note that the proposed amended complaint removes the previous claims (that were apparently too insane even for Everytown) and basically changes the entire lawsuit: civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/DocumentInquir…

"On cross-examination, he acknowledged that he stuck his phone about six inches (15 centimeters) from Colie's face while the translate app repeated the phrase 'Hey dips---, stop thinking about my sparkle' in English and Spanish." apnews.com/article/youtub…
"Colie backed away from the 6-foot-5 Cook (196 cm), who kept advancing toward Colie even as Colie said 'no' and 'stop' and pushed Cook's arm away. Then, Cook said, when the two were separated by a small distance, Colie pulled out an handgun and shot him in the abdomen."
"Cook said he's been posting pranks online for about a year. He said he was trying to avoid mall security while he filmed the prank on Colie because they had confronted him in the past. A survey of his YouTube channel finds a series of off-putting stunts..."

Wiese v. Bonta (E.D. CA): Ryan Busse's newest declaration in support of gun control is for CA's magazine ban (again). At $150/hr, it's almost identical to yesterday's filing in WA (without the part recommending bolt-action rifles for self-defense). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… ImageImageImageImage
This section was in the Washington filing but not in the California one, probably because most (if not all) of those handguns aren't on the roster: Image

The committee chair said the choice to make this testimony only was "after extensive conversation with the author" and "to allow time for more stakeholder conversations and to help her get to a better place with the bill": senate.ca.gov/media/senate-t…
A rep from the American Property Casualty Insurance Association is speaking in opposition to the bill, saying it "would require insurance to cover intentional criminal acts." Image
A rep from the Personal Insurance Federation of California is now speaking in opposition to the bill, saying its not opposed to gun insurance, but it would require coverage for injuries to household members, which would be "unworkable to our companies": Image

Thinking about it, it's interesting how anti-gun politicians seem hell-bent on keeping their fellow Democrats from being armed. For example:

1) They set high permit fees, preventing poor people from being able to afford them
2) They require permits to be submitted and interviews to be conducted during office hours, preventing people who can't take off work from getting them

3) They ban guns on public transportation, preventing people without cars from carrying anywhere past walking distance
4) They require live-fire training, making it difficult for people without nearby ranges to get permits (especially combined with #3)

5) They require multiple non-family references, preventing people with anti-gun friends from getting permits
