VanDyke is in a unique position here. As a judge rather than a party to the case, he can do pretty much whatever he wants. And he’s using that power to say the majority is using the rule against judges bringing outside facts to cover up their real goal.
The Colorado House rule, it seems, was being enforced to infringe on one constitutionally-protected right, free speech, to attack another, the legislation to ban the sale of an entire class of firearms without express permission from the state.
Despite recent pushback against ATF, gun owners remember how Cornyn backed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act giving ATF new authority to crack down on gun sellers and pave the way for backdoor universal background checks.
If Duncan were to be denied cert, that would mean the terrible Ninth Circuit ruling would go into effect. Thousands of Californians would have to give up millions of their Freedom Week magazines. Inevitably, many of them would refuse.
Gov. Ivey said she believes that creating a new law banning GLOCK switches at the state level will “empower” Alabama law enforcement to go after the problem directly and make arrests, but that may not work as she expected.

Senseless and overzealous suppressor restrictions currently block gun owners and sportsmen from practicing their sport with the safety tools they need. It’s time to put and end to it.
Gun owners expect nothing less than a comprehensive recommendation to repeal all of Biden’s unconstitutional gun control. Anything less would be seen as a betrayal of the promises made by President Trump.
The thing is, David Hogg has never been successful at, well, anything. Not at his schoolwork, not in the liberal pillow business and certainly not at advocating for stricter gun control laws.
