Friday’s unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel at the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturning California’s one-gun-per-month law is not just a victory for gun rights, it also serves as a proverbial shot across the bow of anti-gun groups in western states, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms declared.
Both Ceasefire Oregon and the Washington-based Alliance for Gun Responsibility have one-gun-per-month provisions in their legislative agendas. In the Evergreen State, Substitute House Bill 1132 was stalled in the House Rules Committee earlier this year, but by law, remains alive into the 2026 legislative session.
“We are opposed to this draconian restriction on both sides of the Columbia River,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and the Ninth Circuit Court panel’s ruling clearly explains why. There is nothing in either the federal or state constitutions which remotely suggests a citizen’s right to bear arms is limited to a single arm. Even Judge Danielle J. Forrest, in her opinion for the court, noted how the language of the Second Amendment uses the term ‘arms,’ which is a plural reference.”
Joining Judge Forrest in her opinion are Circuit Judges John B. Owens and Bridget S. Bade. Judges Forrest and Bade are both Donald Trump appointees, while Judge Owens, who wrote a short concurring opinion, is a Barack Obama appointee.
“We are encouraged by the Appeals Court panel’s ruling,” Gottlieb stated, “because it puts a serious roadblock in the path of gun prohibition extremists who have convinced Democrats up and down the West Coast they should treat the right to keep and bear arms as a government-regulated privilege.
“The Second Amendment means what it says,” Gottlieb observed, “as do Article 1, Section 27 of the Oregon constitution, and Article 1, Section 24 of the Washington constitution. They do not provide for restrictions on private citizens. Instead, they restrict the government from infringing upon or impairing the right to keep and bear arms, a lesson gun control zealots need to learn.”
After 46 years of Iran’s declared war on the United States, hundreds of Iran’s war attacks over those years on U.S. military and American citizens and our allies, and more recently Iran threatening us with the threat of using a nuclear weapon against us or our allies and them having the capability to have such a nuclear weapon ready very soon – finally a U.S. President, President Trump, has taken decisive steps to destroy Iran’s nuclear capability by striking and destroying Iran’s sites used to make the enriched uranium Iran would have used in its nuclear weapon.
The United States has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, President Donald Trump announced just before 8 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday in a social media post. The announcement came after U.S. aircraft completed the mission and were outside Iranian airspace.

Trump’s Audacious Deception, Tight OpSec, Shocking Stealth in Lead-Up to Hit on Iran’s Nuke Sites.
“…
Fox News’s Sean Hannity spoke to President Trump, who told him that the stealth bombers took out the most formidable target, the mountain-embedded Fordow nuclear enrichment plant. He was told the U.S. Air Force bombers used six 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrators — bunker busters — on the Fordow nuclear site..
U.S. officials are reported to believe that the nuclear site doesn’t exist anymore.
The other two Iranian nuclear sites at Natanz and Isfahan, softened up by Israeli bombs, were struck by U.S. Navy submarines in the region using a reported 30 Tomahawk missiles.
