New York Times anti-gun agenda not limited to editorial page :: 02/14/2015
The Wednesday ruling that the federal ban on interstate handgun transfers is unconstitutional, and that Attorney General Eric Holder and ATF Director B. Todd Jones have been enjoined from enforcing that provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968, is unquestionably huge news. While no one knows at this point what an appeal will result in, the “strict scrutiny” standard employed by U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor and his definitive opinion that the ban “is unconstitutional on its face” is sending shock waves through the citizen disarmament community, trying its best to downplay the significance of this setback to their goals.

Senator Says Cops Can Own Assault Weapons, But Anyone Else Only Wants 'Armed Insurrection' :: 02/13/2015
The Senator claims that any and all who want guns that hold more than 10 rounds are only interested in “armed insurrection” and have essentially committed an act of treason.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Interstate Handgun Transfer Ban :: 02/12/2015

Louis Bonham, one of TTAG’s consulting lawyers, wrote the following analysis of the ruling:
