Today SCOTUS denied cert to the Hawaii "spirit of Aloha" case due to its interlocutory posture. BUT we got a Thomas/Alito statement with some pretty interesting things - including that "Americans need not engage in empty formalities before they can invoke their constitutional rights." 🧵 The Hawaii Supreme Court had ruled that Wilson couldn't claim the unconstitutionality of the HI licensing scheme as a defense for not having a permit, because he didn't even apply for one. Trouble is...

Y'all. The Supreme Court just granted cert to Smith & Wesson v. Mexico, Mexico's attempt to shut down gun manufacturers by blaming them for their own cartel problem. This is HUGE. Just by way of background, Mexico sued the entire gun industry in an attempt to destroy our Second Amendment. The district court judge threw out the case saying "PLCAA literally said you can't do this" - which was absolutely true.

4th Circuit rules that ARs "fall outside the ambit of protection offered by the Second Amendment" because they're "military-style" and not suitable for self-defense. Outrageous - but this is on the merits and this means the SCOTUS cert appeal is next!! To all you 2A supporters who think "shall not be infringed" is self-explanatory, the 4th Circuit says THIS about the Second Amendment: "This single sentence provides us with a lofty command, but little concrete guidance." OUTRAGEOUS.

SUMMARY JUDGMENT!!! We just won summary judgment striking down the ATF’s forced reset trigger ban in a scathing 64-page ruling. I’ll drop some highlights below as I go thought it. This is a huge win!!! Image Obviously the ATF is going to double down and fight like crazy to get this overturned at the 5th Circuit, so please consider donating to this case here: secure.anedot.com/national-found…

We just filed our response to Illinois' outrageous brief in our Supreme Court cert appeal challenging the IL so-called "assault weapons" ban. This was a fun one, so buckle up. 🧵

First, we emphasized that Illinois didn't even TRY to defend the fact that they've banned handguns. They know Heller said that handgun bans are unconstitutional - but somehow didn't bother to explain why theirs is different from the one struck down in Heller.

Why I'm a gun owner 🧵

Years ago, I was alone in my house all weekend. I made a two-hour grocery run on Saturday and came home to find my home ransacked. (Obviously they'd been watching my house to seen when I would leave.) This was in suburban South Carolina. This sort of thing shouldn't happen in our safe, quiet area. But it did.

There's a sense of weird cognitive dissonance when you first see evidence of the unthinkable. I first noticed a light on in an unused room & tried to explain it away.
