HANSON V. DC: “Large Capacity Magazine Ban"
I’ve only been up for a couple of hours (as I begin typing), and the news is already full of stupidity that I’ll need to address. I’ll lead off with a case challenging Washington, DC’s “large capacity” magazine ban, Hanson v. DC. The judge, one Rudolph Contreras, denied a preliminary injunction against the ban. His… reasoning is… remarkable. Or something; I’m trying to be somewhat polite.

There's more gun control bullshit afoot here in WA as well. WA has banned dozens of specifically named semi automatic weapons, clearly unConstitutional. It instantly makes 1,000s of residents, felons. https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/20/washington-passes-gun-restrictions-ar15-ak47/
ReplyDeleteThe real bitch is the legislature and Inslee know it will be overturned but went ahead anyway.
I tried to tell my gal she should have moved to my place in the Ozarks, but noooo. So fucking here I am. Where also Inslee's "climate control bill" has more than doubled our gas tax since the first of the year.
It's a 100% mail in state so any hope of voting out of this is a pipe dream.
I happened to write about the ban -- or rather reactions to it -- as well, this morning.

Bear, your article is the one I linked to.
DeleteYou linked to the DC mag ban column. The link I dropped in the comment was about the WA "assault weapon" ban, and lefties freaking out over it.
DeleteAnd to think I'm the one that chews my reader's asses when they comment before they read.
DeleteMy bad.
I appreciate you hanging around MMinWA, as I tell others who are thinking of staying or leaving - I need all the help behind enemy line that I can get.
DeleteIt is not just the Gov and legislature, I see this at all levels of GOV, they pass laws, etc that they have to know are unconstitutional, but since one needs standing (unless a leftist) to bring a case before the courts, people are hesitant to get caught breaking the law, especially when it involves our 2nd Amendment rights, to challenge that law and possibly lose those rights and they know that fact.
Gary in SW WA.
No one needs more than one bullet. Like it says in the Constitution... stupid.
ReplyDeleteThis judge, Rudolph Contreras, is a deep state tool. If this isn't enough proof

read his Wikipedia page. If ever there was ever a federal judge that needs to be impeached and disbarred it's Rudolph Contreras.
Contreras is being willfully contrary.
ReplyDeleteAppeal his denial of the preliminary injunction and maybe Clarence Thomas will sit him down and explain NYSRPA v Bruen to him.
I may be mis-remembering my history.... But I seem to recall the prohibition on short barreled shotguns was due to the fact that they were not common weapons of war and that the second amendment only applied to weapons of war.
ReplyDeleteYup. Miller couldn't have a short-barreled shotgun because it wasn't a military-pattern weapon.
DeleteWe can't have a full-auto M-16 because it IS a military-pattern weapon.
Catch-22...
Columbus, Ohio has passed its own illegal 30-round and up mag ban. (Illegal because it’s the state’s responsibility, not each individual city’s, in order to avoid a patchwork of legal/illegal areas.)
ReplyDeleteBut the snowflakes downtown publicly said, “We’re going to keep doing it until the courts tell us to stop.” 180 days in jail and $1500 fine PER MAGAZINE. Bastards.
