Folks smarter than I are saying that Heller could very well come out today.

SCOTUSBlog will be live blogging it. If their main site is unreachable the backup is here.

In the comments over at Sebastian’s Cam Edwards chimes in to inform us that Max Motor’s issue is with the First National Bank of Kansas whereas the credit cards I was talking about come from the First National Bank of Omaha.

I have no idea how their org chart works within First National Bank, but their webpages seem to indicate that the Omaha and Kansas banks are descendants of the original First National of Nebraska.

So, I might have a little egg on my face for equating the two, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out the differing practices of two branches of the same parent company.

It should be interesting how this all shakes out.

Jef Soyer has the details.

I say good for Bill. The ATF approved his design and he went to market with their approval. They reviewed the design after he went into production and pulled the plug on it. There is no known documented procedure for reviewing a previously approved design. BIll Akins did what he had to do to get permission to sell his product and they screwed him out of money by reversing their previous decision.

Seems like a good enough reason to bring a lawsuit to me.

According to Max Motors it is.

I might have to keep on this on as I’ve got a credit card issued by First National Bank.

It’s the one with the NRA Logo on it.

Here’s he bill. I found it because Thirdpower mentioned it.

It does look like the same text as the 1994 AWB, right down to the grandfathering date.

I wouldn’t worry much about this. It looks like it’s just a little pre-election attention whoring by a few Republican members of Congress. They’re probably just looking for a sound bite to put into their ads for reelection.

This one has me giggling.

Some nutter walks into an eastern Michigan bank and hands the teller a note saying he’s got a bomb on him and he wants money. A customer gets wind of this, pulls a pistol on the man and informs him he’s not robbing the bank. Nutter responds that he’s got a bomb. Customer responds with, “I don’t care.”

Turns out the nutter didn’t have a bomb anyway, so that’s good. The customer with the concealed weapon made him sit on a chair until police arrived.

Sebastian reports that it’s out of committee now.

Link includes a partial list of the guns that would be banned if this bullshit goes through. Basically anything with a bore of .50 caliber or higher is out the door. Muzzle loaders included, unless they have wooden stocks and sights made if iron.

On one hand I presume that the NJ legislators don’t know what they’re actually doing here. On the other hand, I’m cynical enough to believe that they know exactly what they’re doing, and they’re hoping that the public will see “50 caliber ban” and applaud them.
