    Probably had a hot doe in the area. If a doe doesn't get pregnant she will go back into estrus again in 28 days. Can have a 2nd and 3rd rut. 

    Reminds me of a girl who was very popular when I was at Lehigh Univ. during the mid-70's

    Horizontal Holly was her name!!

  2. I don't want to derail this particular thread, but I just watched this video (after subbing to a couple of the gun lawyer youtube channels) and the readers of this thread are keeping up with the rapid (from a long-term perspective) advancements in our 2A rights.

    This 9th circus situation would have ENORMOUS implications on everyone, but especially us, caught behind enemy lines.

    ...But it's for the children.

    Are you referring to those children who have had sex education in 1st grade and then have top or bottom surgeries when they're 15?

    Or do you mean the dying breed of kids who know the difference between boys and girls and spend "G-d Worship" time with their families?:priest::rabbi:

    I like 10mm.... cause it's 10mm! Although it's pricey even now compared to 9mm...

    I like my 10mm (old SW1066) but it throws all the brass thru the back window of the shoothouses at SJSC !

    Get the 10mm. It's really just a .40SW Magnum!

    From the article:

    Conclusion: A bizarre and unsettling incident. Both parties appear to have initiated physical contact and can be seen expressing a range of emotions following the encounter. Something is going on, we're just not entirely sure what it is.

    The Biden family has a long history of marital chaos, so an illicit relationship would not be unprecedented. It wouldn't even be the family's most egregious case of infidelity. That title certainly belongs to Hunter Biden, who cheated on his ex-wife with his dead brother's widow and her sister.

    Whoa Nelly !!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is the first I'm hearing of the widow's SISTER being involved!

    I wonder if there are pix on the laptop.  FBI ????

  6. I'm only on page 23 of the 54 page decision, but this footnote jumped out at me and I wanted to share it here:

    58 Bear in mind that the United States’ theory would likewise allow Congress to add any substances it wishes to Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act’s schedule of drugs, and then disarm citizens of their right to possess a firearm based on their use of that substance. Imagine Congress deeming aspirin a Schedule I controlled substance. Having placed aspirin on Schedule I, any user of that substance would be automatically stripped of their Second Amendment right by operation of § 922(g)(3).

    More as I get further into the decision, which so far seems to be very well reasoned.

     

    Page 37:

    It bears repeating that all the United States would have to prove at trial to justify depriving Harrison of his right to possess a firearm is that he is a user of marijuana. But the mere use of marijuana carries none of the characteristics that the Nation’s history and tradition of firearms regulation supports. The use of marijuana—which can be bought legally (under state law) at more than 2,000 ordinary store fronts in Oklahoma — is not in and of itself a violent, forceful, or threatening act. It is not a “crime of violence.” Nor does it involve “the actual use or threatened use of force.”

     

    That Congress may have passed § 922(g)(3), as the United States suggests, with some vague relation to public safety or “the public interest” does not change this conclusion.  It is not appropriate for a court to “reflexively defer to [a legislative] label when a fundamental right is at stake.” And the use of marijuana does not become a violent, forceful, or threatening act merely because a legislature says that it is.

     

    Conclusion

    None of this is to say that the government cannot play a role in protecting the public from dangerous persons possessing firearms. It can, and it should. For example, if the State of Texas thought that Harrison’s alleged involvement in a shooting demonstrated that Harrison was a danger to the public, it could have demonstrated to a Texas judge—in an individualized proceeding of which Harrison would have been given notice and the opportunity to be heard—that Harrison ought to be jailed while awaiting trial for that shooting. The Constitution, after all, permits pre-trial detention, and such detention would be a highly effective means of furthering the government’s interest in protecting the public from a gun-toting Harrison. But that didn’t happen; Harrison was released pending trial in Texas. And so here we are, with the federal government now arguing that Harrison’s mere status as a user of marijuana justifies stripping him of his fundamental right to possess a firearm. For all the reasons given above, this is not a constitutionally permissible means of disarming Harrison. Because the Court concludes that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) violates Harrison’s Second Amendment right to possess a firearm, the Court declines to reach Harrison’s vagueness claim.

    The Motion to Dismiss the Indictment is GRANTED. Accordingly, the Indictment is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

    IT IS SO ORDERED this 3rd day of February 2023.
