As we wait out this final day for Trump’s ex-lawyer Todd Blanche to file an appeal in Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF, I’ll write a post for the sake of its last sentence. There are good pieces on the unfolding consequences of this NFA decision. Let me add that on this timeline 80% silencer kits become feasible. But more on that later.
New Jersey AG Jennifer Davenport sued Jordan Vinroe of JSD Supply for legally bowing out of her fight with him. She calls him the nation’s largest ghost gun seller. Jennifer, the nation’s largest ghost gun seller just took you to the Supreme Court.
Our petition presents two questions. One is the venue standoff between the Fifth and Third Circuits created after the Fifth Circuit held that this long and wretched case’s transfer to New Jersey was unlawful. Question two asks the Court to resolve an acknowledged circuit split over First Amendment protection for computer code.
Think of this as a preview of that case now brewing in California, but with a cleaner presentation of our questions’ national significance, and less troubled by the weird problems of fact now endemic to that other 3D2A organization. For example —
Freeman’s Folly, The Finale
Freeman1337 received 41 months. Why the DOJ dramatically reduced his charges, and why they asked the court (under seal) to grant him sentencing relief is a question for your favorite 2A attorney. The final letters submitted to the judge by Freeman and his family at least allow for some ethnography.
Freeman’s new favorite book is The City of God. His twin brother writes that he observes the canonical hours of the Divine Office and is long-read in the Lord’s Word. Though we find no Bible English in Freeman’s own handwritten note, I don’t doubt these representations. They rather confirm the Gatalogian political theology: commitment to apostolic authority and authorship, to informing the feds, and to cowardice in the face of reality.
As we’ll find out in next month’s discovery hearing in California, The Gatalog has an episcopal structure to match their high religiosity. To outrun the impending injunction against their publishing directorate, the Archbishop of St. Louis delegated his responsibilities to the Archbishop of Kansas City. This is one way to understand the name “Shiftinator.”
