Do Gun-Control Laws Control Guns? The "other side" has framed this debate, which we need to stop anwering. We need to debate on equal ground... That is, we need to frame the debate ourselves, whether the "other side" likes it or not (and be assured, they won't like it one iota)! Larry Correia...

The case is Gowder v. City of Chicago, et al. The case was filed a little over a year ago and has been speedily concluded... At this stage. I fully expect that Chicago will appeal and motion for a stay at the same time. The amended complaint may be read here...

The MA group, Comm2A is at it again! Best to let them describe the suit in their own words. Seems straightforward and simple enough, yes? As we've seen, not with firearms.
