Texas Judge Halts Biden Gun Sale Restrictions in Four States
Four states and four gun organizations don’t have to comply with a new Biden administration rule expanding oversight of private firearms sellers, a federal trial court judge said.
Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, of the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday as to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah, and the organizations.
Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee who often sides against Biden on politically divisive issues, said the plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the merits. The plaintiffs if bound by greater scrutiny will suffer financial loss through reduced attendance and sales at gun shows, he said.
The states filed the lawsuit on May 1, the same day Florida filed a separate lawsuit to block the rule. The judge in that case hasn’t ruled on a motion for injunctive relief.
We are missing the chance to Force all of the liberal/communists into court so they can 'explain' how their 'restrictions/bans' on legal firearms have EVER affected a single criminal, that is buying or trading drugs for a stolen firearm. The 2nd Amendment is NOT up for debate.
To compare stories of gun-grabber woes:
My son just completed an extensive data-collection process to comply with LAbour's gun-control grab that was snuck in under the guys (see what I did there) of Covid. This out of love for his sport (Air-powered 50m field, with super customized 6000 dollar rifles). And yes, during this mad time, the police came and took all his guns, but shamefacedly returned them the next day, because they were AIR-RIFLES. Son was pissed, because they scratched up a walnut piece, in their (armed) raid, because guns.
Anyway, the report took him nearly every weekend for six months to complete - with lengthy qualitative statements.
ESPECIALLY the little clubs had to basically stop shooting, even only to not have to impose some weird masking and vaxxing rules etc. BUT ... to comply with the 'new range-rules' came the double whammy: In order to install a backstop, clubs were to tackle the collection of 300 shooting cards, to establish a baseline club-accuracy. The average spread was then to be re-calculated to 5 standard deviations to produce the radius of a legal backstop. Sounds like kind science doesn't it?.
NVM that peeps are standing outdoors on a range, plinking pellets, with not much more range further than the cards. The alternative was that the crazies wanted a kilometer of range behind the targets, or a hill, with lead-collection trays. So, hence the need to calculate a backstop.
So, Cindy was claiming the control of air-powered rifle-clubs (My son's neck of the woods would have half a dozen showing up, most of them to practice shooting for international competitions, and they would shoot very close to the centre of cards). After six months of work, the calculated legal backstop for his club turned out to be ridiculously small - similar to a hand-held targe, or an actual archery target - proving that the whole exercise was a load of codswollop. The club could have just built a Kiwi 'looks alright' timber backstop - it really would have been ample, legally speaking.
So to cut a long story short: The current government is gonna review all that, and hopefully air guns will be relieved of this nonsense. Praps my son's contribution will show 'em.
Yes. Yes, they are.
