Mississippi Supreme Court overturns injunction against House Bill 2

“This Court now finds that the Circuit Judge erred as a matter of law when he found House Bill 2 to be vague and, therefore unconstitutional,” the Supreme Court found. “He also erred when he stated that ‘a reasonable person reading the bill could not discern what the law allows and what it prohibits.’" [More]
This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner brings some happy news from the Magnolia State, where an anti-gun judicial activist has not only been overturned, he’s been exposed for all the world to see as an agenda-driven incompetent.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a rule change.  Don't think of it as a penalty enhancement, think of it as a way to further cut off sources.

Relevant Questions

Will CMP be exempted? [More]

Should it be? Or if they're locked out with the rest of us, will that give them incentive to bring their influence to bear?

If someone has their place at the table, how much attention do they pay to the hungry outsiders peering through the banquet hall window?  Anybody seeing cop unions clamoring to let non-"Only Ones" hitch a ride on the national concealed carry bandwagon

And Laugh They Did...

...until they crossed the Macon County line... [More]

Seems no sooner did gun owners get a reason to celebrate when the antis threw up an illegal roadblock.

Grassroots North Carolina tells us about the latest "official" outrage, where the Macon County School board is considering an unlawful gun ban, and what we can do about it.

This is totally me talking, and I hope it doesn't make GRNC wince: Do you realize how lucky you are to have leaders of the caliber of Paul Valone and his colleagues, who take point on this stuff with awareness, energy, knowledge and commitment? If you're a North Carolina gun owner who benefits from their advocacy, and if you don't share this latest alert, take a moment to do what they ask, and then kick a bit into the kitty to help supply the front line troops doing the fighting, how is that any different from being, say, a welfare parasite?

A Great Democracy Does Not Make it Harder to Vote than to Buy an Assault Weapon?

I beg to differ. Sure it does. [More]

But it depends on what the meaning of the term "great democracy" is.

Some of us note subtle differences between mob rule and a system where individual rights are unalienable no matter how many raving collectivists covet them.

Some of us aren't sympathetic to disarming at the demand of the former Gun Nut in Chief, particularly since you now aspire to be First Philanderer.

Oh, and by the way, Slick, how about an unequivocal  "Yes" or "No":

Three More from the GREs

I continue to hear complaints from gun owners who loudly refuse to click on Examiner links due to all the obnoxious pop-ups and videos, and all I can say, aside from the way Vanderboegh eloquently put things, is I use Firefox with the Adblock add-on, and am untroubled by such intrusions.  If you are visiting websites and don't have such protection--or worse, don't know how to activate such protection--it's on you to correct that.

You wouldn't venture forth in the real world in Condition White, unarmed and unaware.  Why would you do so in the virtual one?

One last gripe--I get sick and damned tired of hearing how "we" can't get a fair shake in the media, yet this is but one example of an alternative source of information bringing you essential stuff that you don't get from them, and yet asking people to do such a  simple thing as sharing links is like pulling teeth.

Question for you who comment regularly on this site:  What do you do -- on a regular  basis -- to help promote the work that enables this?
