New: Gun Group Files Federal Suit Against Tennessee Over Gun Carry Restrictions thereload.com/gun-group-file…
This is the third in a series of lawsuits by @gunpolicy focused on overturning laws baring 18-to-20-year-olds from carrying guns for self-defense. They also filed cases in California and Pennsylvania against similar laws.
The new suit is part of a broader push by gun-rights groups to stock up the federal courts with cases in order to provide the Supreme Court with a smorgasbord of gun cases to choose from. The groups want SCOTUS to expound on Second Amendment protections. thereload.com/gun-group-file…
The court has been reluctant to take up gun cases since the landmark Heller and MacDonald cases over a decade ago. Some justices, most notably Clarence Thomas, have repeatedly condemned the court for its lack of action.
The appointment of Amy Coney Barrett to SCOTUS offered hope to gun-rights activists things were about to change. But that hasn't materialized yet. So, cases like the one in Tennessee are still being filed with the goal of changing that.

Current estimates put the number of AR-15s owned by Americans at 19.8 million. In comparison, the entire US military has 4.5 million small arms. If ARs were only for "shooting a bunch of people" we'd all be dead by now.
Of course, the most popular rifle in America is used primarily for recreational & competitive shooting, hunting, & home defense. The modular nature of the AR makes it endlessly customizable & the light weight combined with the low recoil impulse makes it very controllable.
ARs are also the preferred home defense choice for many women and physically-handicapped shooters because of its light weight and reduced recoil. freebeacon.com/issues/female-…

There's absolutely nothing illegal about this, Greg. Are you saying there should be?
Attacking gun rights to own the libs...
I don't know if Lt. Nazario had a ccw permit but in Virginia you can carry a gun openly or in a compartment in your car without a permit. The cops ran the gun to determine it wasn't stolen & did not charge Lt. Nazario with any crimes, let alone a gun crime vsp.virginia.gov/Firearms_Trans…

It would be cool if the Flyers could beat the Islanders tonight after they just bought some expensive rentals. I would like that.
It would also make @BrentScher sad which is always a good thing.
Well, the Flyers are down 2 goals already and just took a 5-minute major. So, things are going great.

LaPierre keeps going beyond what was asked in the questions and the extra bits keep getting struck. The judge has told him several times things will move faster if he stops doing that.
LaPierre just gave a long unprompted explanation for why he got free hunting trips from a show called Under Wild Skies. The judge told him not to do it again and complained about having to keep telling him only to answer the questions asked by the lawyers.
This happened occasionally with the other witnesses but LaPierre seems to want to try and add explanations to every yes or no question and just isn't listening to warnings from the judge about not doing that. His own lawyers asked him to stop and are talking to him now in recess.

Wayne LaPierre just testified that he does not send any texts or emails. None.
He sometimes reads emails and texts but doesn't send any. He says he's "old fashioned."
LaPierre says he mainly reviews documents on paper instead of digitally.
