Regardless how you feel or what you believe about the spectacle that unfolded last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the fact is there is a good chance Brett Kavanaugh won't be confirmed as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. The good news for gun-rights advocates is that President Donald Trump has a roster of potential candidates to select from should he need to submit another candidate to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired on July 31.

The fact that both District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago were decided 5-4, rather than 9-0, remains one of the greatest outrages in recent judicial history. Had a single vote gone the other way, the Supreme Court of the United States would have taken it upon itself not merely to render as a dead letter one of the sacred measures within the Constitutions Bill of Rights, but to rewrite American history in concert.

Predictably, the anti-gun majority of Washington States King County Council voted Monday to adopt a new safe storage requirement for gun owners, likely in violation of the states 35-year-old preemption statute, but some pro-rights activists in the firearms community are quietly wondering if this isnt a signal that the preemption law could be in jeopardy if Democrats take stronger control of the Legislature in 2019.

An alleged sexual assault from 36 years ago is not why Democrats and the mainstream media are doing all they can to stop a confirmation vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. It all really comes down to future U.S. Supreme Court rulings, including potential Second Amendment cases. During Kavanaughs confirmation hearing, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who was then sitting on the letter from Christine Blasey Ford, asked Kavanaugh why he ruled that modern sporting rifles (she used the opaque political term assault weapon) were in common use and therefore are protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Most people under 21 won't be able to buy guns in California starting next year under a law Gov. Jerry Brown announced signing Friday.

The new law exempts law enforcement, members of the military and people with hunting licenses from the restriction. It was one of dozens of bills Brown took action on.

When the clock struck midnight on September 30th, 2018, Governor Jerry Brown made the last legislative decisions of his political career and left his mark as a solid anti-gun politician who was willing to throw us a bone now and again. This year was no different, as he stepped firmly into the anti-gun muck with the signing of bills to prohibit the sale of firearms to anyone under 21 and increased training before anyone can get a CCW. But he vetoed some bad ones, too he rejected banning gun shows at the Cow Palace as well as the bill to put limitations on how many long guns we can guy per month.

Kaboom: The Consequences Of A Blown-Out Case Submitted by: David Williamson Website: http://constitutionnetwork.com	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
We sometimes hear about, or actually witness, the consequences of a blown-out case. In semi-automatic pistols, the case usually ruptures on the underside where it does not have complete chamber support because of the cutout of the feed ramp. Thus, the gas pressure is generally directed mostly downward. The magazine, and any rounds still in it at the time, usually get the brunt of the blast force.
