The so-called “pro-life” party that wants more white babies, hence the striking down of Dobbs, now wants more women including white women killed by their partners.
My young sweet sister-in-law was killed by her partner with a shotgun.
This country’s mad people, unfortunately have just enough power to let everyone see them for the jackasses they are-- but meantime are killing many, many people.
Were there laws against felons, parolees, or people awaiting trial possessing firearms in colonial times? I don’t think so.
God, Trump really dug up some doozies to stick on the federal bench. We’re going to be paying for this insanity for decades.
My point precisely. I’ve practiced here for decades and I’ve never, ever heard of a Pecos Division. What next, some rando federal judge in Groesbeck is going to put us back on the gold standard?
Were there specifically laws banning children from having firearms? Were there laws specifically banning bringing firearms to school or places of employment? Certainly no laws back then banning them at airports!
By this logic, there really cannot be any laws banning guns anywhere, save the WH maybe?
Third bluest red state = First biggest red state… and if you hadn’t noticed, the needle has stopped moving.
Statistics don’t lie, and they don’t care how we feel about them.
Texas is the second largest majority minority state and that majority has made clear their intentions to never vote. Historically, Texas is part of the group bringing up the rear in voter participation, but being our resident know-it-all, you already know all of that, n’est-ce pas?
I see that you are wholly ignorant as to the demographics of this state, which I could forgive if you were not stupidly making affirmative claims about it.
ETA: I’m old enough to remember when the GOP had an iron grip on California. But I guess you stupidly wrote that state off too?
By that logic, the 2nd amendment should only protect the type of guns that were in existence when the country was founded.
Sorry ‘modern sporting rifle’ or semi-auto gun owners, only muzzle-loaders get 2nd amendment protections.
Either that, or the Government is unconstitutionally preventing me acquiring thermonuclear arms. It’s just for protection, honest.
There are seven divisions in the Texas West District. Main office is San Antonio. JFC, there is one in Alpine which is in Brewster County that only has about 6k population.
Get those panties out of a wad.
There is no excuse for a federal courthouse in Alpine. They can keep San Antonio, Austin, Waco, and El Paso. I’m open to discussions on Midland.
Women can shop at the same sporting goods outlets as where the men folk get their military sidearms and SWAT rifles.
I think there is strong continuity between this case and the one brought by the homophobic web designer. The dominant group has a constitutional right to show hatred, including violence, to out groups. It sounds crazy but it’s nothing more than the legal and constitutional foundation for slavery, and for slavery’s contemporaneous legal principle that wives were husband’s chattel. The founders were down with it!
I expect to see a case before SCOTUS soon asserting the “right” of workers to sign employment contracts that make them in effect slaves of their employers.
And blunderbuses. Probably dueling pistols, too.
Not if you’re going back to the way the law was in the late 18th century. Only with the permission of their father or husband (or an other brother if unmarried and the father is dead). And the guns will be legally titled in his name.
Weren’t duels legal in Tejas back then?
disarming domestic abusers violates the Second Amendment because those types of laws didn’t exist at the founding of the country.
The New Republicans want to arm Willie Horton.
Neither John Marshall, Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court from 1801 to 1835, nor any court he presided over, ever found the 2nd amendment provided for an individual right to own or “bear” arms.
So if it was really about “originalism” we would be relying on Marshall’s opinions and not opinions from the 180 years later “Robert’s Court”.
This ruling is anti women. Another step back for us. My mom feared my father would kill her if he accepted a job with Massachusetts Police. He was not hired, thank goodness.
We note with interest (and disgust) that the conservative judges in love with the phoniness of Originalism always forget the words “well-regulated militia” in the 2nd Amendment when they make decisions about rules, procedures, training and denial around weapons. (( Also that Stand Yer Ground laws don’t seem to work for POC and women. ))
Hypocrisy about gun regs knows no bounds.
Land doesn’t vote. People do. Look it up to gain perspective to the charts you are shown by the networks that make it seem like 90% of the country is red except for a few tiny slivers on the coasts.
Don’t throw away good people just because you don’t like their neighbors.
Maybe it is time for everyone who is experiencing marital or relationship challenges, physical, mental, emotional, and other forms of abuse in America to obtain weapons, firearms, and guns commensurate with the threat and danger. A time may come when this should be expanded to those not experiencing the marital bliss or domestic tranquility they expect.
Divorce lawyers and marriage counselors should advise clients to be ready to defend themselves if needed. Shelters and support providers for battered and abused Americans should provide weapons, firearms, body armor, and guns for rent, loan or purchase. Self defense and weapons safety training is also important to mitigate the social impact of these rulings by Trumpanzee judges.
Public libraries should be re-purposed to include Second Amendment remedies in addition to providing First Amendment options like books, comics, videos, government documents etc.
