Trump on National Concealed Carry Reciprocity, “We are talking about that” [Brian Glenn asks the question…]

The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the Second Amendment is not a second-class right of the enumerated rights in the Bill of Rights.

At some point, the ability to exercise the rights protected by the Second Amendment across state lines will be addressed by Congress, the Supreme Court, or both. Much will depend on how the mid-term elections are concluded in 2026. If the Republicans gain substantial majorities, the chances of a bill similar to H.R. 38 passing are fairly good. If the Republicans lose a majority in either the House or the Senate, such a bill will not pass. This correspondent does not expect a challenge to a ban on non-resident carry to reach the Supreme Court for at least two years.

The saga began in July 2020, when the court issued a preliminary injunction in Elbert v. Settle, striking down the gun control act as applied to adults under 21. The ruling highlighted a glaring flaw: Although Virginia law permits 18- to 20-year-olds to possess handguns, the NICS system automatically rejects transfers to those under 21. This law created a de facto ban on lawful private handgun purchases for this age group, as sellers and buyers had no viable mechanism to complete the required check. Effectively, the new law barred young adults from acquiring handguns altogether, even through private sales, without an express prohibition.

“Responding to those who call him “pro-China”, Duterte said that Filipinos who don’t like Beijing should not use all made in China products “before you open your mouth.”

Yes. Sears trashed him pretty badly last year. He may be holding a slight grudge. But he did say some nice things without mentioning her name.

The First Citation of the Heritage Guide in a SCOTUS Brief | Josh Blackman, 10.19.2025
A very timely citation on the “Calling forth the Militia” Clause

One of the virtues of a project like the Heritage Guide to the Constitution is its utility. The constitutional history in that book will be used in future controversies that were not known when the book was written.

Case in point: the first citation to the guide comes in an amicus brief filed in Donald Trump v. Illinois. The brief cites the essay by Judge Greg Maggs and Professor Rob Leider on the Calling Forth the Militia Clause.

As scholars have recognized, Mott “held that Congress gave the President sole and unreviewable authority to determine when an emergency exists that is sufficient to justify deploying the militia.” Judge Gregory E. Maggs & Robert Leider, The Calling Forth the Militia Clause, in THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION 218, 221 (Josh Blackman & John G. Malcolm eds., 3d ed. 2025).

Supreme Court Weighs Warrantless Home Entries in Case v. Montana
https://www.ammoland.com/2025/10/supreme-court-weighs-warrantless-home-entries-in-case-v-montana/

Broadly speaking, GOA framed the case as deciding “whether police may barge into gun owners’ homes and shoot them without a warrant during a welfare check.” The organization’s concern reflects the reality that
Case was shot in his own home by officers who entered without judicial authorization, ostensibly to save his life.

Newsmax headline:
“Sen. Rand Paul: Drug strikes ‘Against All of Our Tradition’.”

Uh, wrong again, Rand.

I clearly remember that very early in our nation’s history the U.S. Navy and Marines attacked Muslim Barbary pirates in North Africa for capturing our trading ships, and selling some of the crews and passengers as slaves.

No declaration of war.

Just a Presidential order to the Navy as Commander-and-Chief.

That’s a fact, and several good books have been written on the topic….if I remember correctly, Jefferson was President at the time.

Good Afternoon,
Beloved, today my message is the baptism of John the Baptist.

Repent, for the Kingdom of GOD is near at hand.

For all the misguided souls lead a stray by the trappings of this hateful time. Return to Love of your youth. You once new HIM by the teaching of your elders. Turn away from earth bound lust. Perhaps, your days are short on this earth.
Please, make amends . Quite possibly, eternity is on the balance.

‘ Draw closer to HIM , HE will draw closer to you. ‘
James 4:8

GOD Bless you !

MI Girl

In my spare time (yeah right? Is that mrsbro calling? Be right back) I have been studying up on the truth and nature of Islam and Sharia as it relates to the U S. With things that are happening in MN, MI, NYC, TX, a pattern has begun to show itself. Because of our of religious freedom we seem to accept Islam as just another religion, same God, different name. Big mistake! The following article is a plain and simple explanation of how Islam views and deals with the rest of the world. A more indepth read is “Sword and Scimitar” by Raymond Ibrahim, (foreword by Victor Davis Hanson)
