Bruen Bearing Fruit!

 Superior, Colorado adopted an assault weapons sale and transfer ban.  The federal court issued a TRO on enforcement while awaiting trial.  Now, what does this tell us?  

To obtain a TRO or injunctive relief in any other form a plaintiff must establish: “(1) a substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits; (2) irreparable harm unless the injunction is issued; (3) that the threatened injury outweighs the harm that the preliminary injunction may cause the opposing party; and (4) that the injunction, if issued, will not adversely affect the public interest.” 

So, there is a strong possibility that at trial, Bruen's reading of the Second Amendment will overturn the ordinance.  We are not out of the woods yet, but when federal judges read a decision as giving our side the benefit of believing we have "substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits," this is good news.

The judge who granted the TRO was appointed by Obama!

Why High-Capacity Magazines Are Needed

7/14/22 Fox News:

"The Escambia County Sheriff's Office released video of a Florida homeowner firing a rifle at home intruders as deputies try to identify the fourth suspect. 

Three of the suspects approached the victim's home while a fourth waited in a car. When the victim unlocked the front door, two of the men allegedly pushed their way inside and started attacking him, while the third waited outside with a handgun. 

The victim was armed but lost his gun during the scuffle, then ran to the back of his house and grabbed an AK-47-style rifle, which he started firing at the intruders, Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said."

Multiple invaders.  Some convicted felons with guns.  Would I want 20 rounds with four home invaders?  Sure.  In the heat of a firefight you might well miss on the first shot or two.  You also want them to know that you will not be running out of rounds anytime soon.
