A federal judge overturned <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illinois" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois</a>’ unconstitutional ban on semiautomatic weapons on Friday, triggering the state&#8217;s top Democrats.
The law, which went into effect at the start of 2023, came in response to the shooting in Highland Park on July 4, 2022.
The Protect Illinois Communities Act banned semi-automatic rifles, commonly used magazines, and numerous attachments that firearms can be equipped with.
“Sadly, there are those who seek to usher in a sort of post-Constitution era where the citizens’ individual rights are only as important as they are convenient to a ruling class,” said U.S. District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn in his ruling.
He added, “The oft-quoted phrase that ‘no right is absolute’ does not mean that fundamental rights precariously subsist subject to the whims, caprice, or appetite of government officials or judges.”
McGlynn added that it was &#8220;particularly disturbing&#8221; that Democrats had sought to ban weapons that were already widely used by Americans, which would deprive them &#8220;of a principal means to defend themselves and their property in situations where a handgun or shotgun alone would not be the citizen&#8217;s preferred arm.&#8221;
The Illinois State Rifle Association <a href="https://isra.org/pritzker-ban-on-firearms-found-unconstitutional/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrated</a> the law being overturned in a statement posted on their website.

&#8220;Our legislative team tried to warn lawmakers about the unconstitutionality of Pritzker’s scheme,&#8221; the group said. &#8220;After the Governor put his signature on this affront to citizen’s rights, the ISRA partnered with the Second Amendment Foundation to file suit in Federal Court with a promise to see this through to the US Supreme Court if necessary.&#8221;
&#8220;Today’s ruling affirms our legislative position and shows our dedication to fighting on behalf of the millions of law-abiding Illinois firearms owners,&#8221; they added. &#8220;Barring any further court action, the ISRA looks forward to restoration of 2nd Amendment rights to Illinois firearms owners just in time for the holidays and winter hunting seasons.&#8221;
CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/illinois-ban-semiautomatic-gun-supremecourt/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Democrat Attorney General Kwame Raoul pledged to immediately appeal the ruling.

Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-walz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Walz</a> (D-MN) appeared to have trouble managing his own personal firearm when he went pheasant hunting on opening day in his home state of Minnesota on Saturday, participating in the 12th annual Governor&#8217;s Pheasant Hunting Opener.
Walz, who is vying for the vice presidency alongside current Vice President Kamala Harris, brought along staffers and reporters as part of an eleventh-hour media blitz geared primarily toward shoring up support among men for the Democratic Party&#8217;s 2024 ticket.
The Trump War Room shared video from MSNBC&#8217;s coverage of Walz&#8217;s outing, pointing out that even the reporter saw it for the political play that it was. &#8220;MSNBC implies that Tim Walz going pheasant hunting is nothing more than a desperate attempt to make up ground with male voters. Sorry Tim, men aren’t voting for a gun grabber.&#8221;

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris suddenly championed the right to bear arms and defend oneself in one’s home, saying she would shoot someone who would break into her home.
Winfrey mentioned Harris acknowledging she was a gun owner in her debate with former President Donald Trump. “I did not know that,” Winfrey said. “And I thought that was powerful.”
“If somebody breaks into my house, they&#8217;re getting shot, sorry,&#8221; Harris answered.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Yet in 2020, Harris said Stand Your Ground laws were racist, saying, “These Stand Your Ground laws and these states that have these citizens’ arrest laws have often, often and frequently been used as an excuse if not a cover for people who are motivated by racism and racial profiling. And so we have seen that. And we have seen that it has been used as an excuse to kill black and brown people, and particularly black and brown young men.”

Additionally, as San Francisco’s district attorney in May 2007, Harris <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udnJlqhvs3Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threatened</a>:
<blockquote>
It’s people who own guns who are quietly sitting on those guns. And those guns might end up being the weapons of the destruction of a community cause they get in the hands of some kid who decide that they like what they see on television and they want to act that way. So this is about just basically saying that we’re gonna require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not gonna walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way that you conduct your affairs.
</blockquote>
“The remarks came during a <a href="https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/3577?view_id=106&amp;redirect=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> introducing legislation that Harris helped draft, which sought to impose penalties for gun owners who fail to store their firearms properly at home,” Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/harris-tells-oprah-anyone-breaking-her-home-getting-shot-probably-should-not-have-said-that" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.
During the presidential debate, Harris declared, “This business about taking everyone&#8217;s guns away. Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We&#8217;re not taking anybody&#8217;s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.”
Harris previously advocated on multiple occasions during her failed 2020 presidential campaign for a &#8220;mandatory&#8221; gun buyback program of assault weapons. Examples can be found <a href="https://x.com/NRA/status/1833695845193069018">here</a>, <a href="https://x.com/NRA/status/1829641157867184190">here</a>, and <a href="https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1833695967331168386">here</a>.
The remarks from Harris sparked a variety of reactions online.
&#8220;Kamala Harris advocated for door-to-door mandatory gun buyback programs,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/redsteeze/status/1836945501670826115">said</a> journalist Stephen L. Miller. &#8220;Maybe a journalist worth the professional reputation would follow up on that one.&#8221;
The Trump campaign <a href="https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1836953042408837535">responded</a> to Harris&#8217; remarks: &#8220;Can Kamala describe the make and model of the gun she allegedly owns? And explain why she spent years advocating for door-to-door, mandatory gun confiscation? This is called pandering — and nobody is buying the bulls***.&#8221;
Attorney and political commentator Laura Powell mocked Harris by highlighting her past support for law enforcement to enter people&#8217;s homes to inspect the way their firearms are stored.
&#8220;Hey, Kamala, I’m sure you understand that we’re going to have to come into the sanctity of your locked home to check to see if you’re being responsible,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/LauraPowellEsq/status/1836974117343613436">wrote</a>.

A clip of Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> went viral this week that showed remarks she made as San Francisco&#8217;s district attorney in which she said that police had the right to &#8220;walk into&#8221; people&#8217;s homes and inspect their legally-owned firearms.
The Democrat presidential nominee made the remarks while speaking to reporters during a press conference in 2007 about a law that was being introduced that she helped write.
Harris said, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn&#8217;t mean that we&#8217;re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you&#8217;re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs.&#8221;
Fox News reported that the anti-gun bill was ultimately signed into law by then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
&#8220;It was bundled with other gun control provisions, including a new requirement for legal gun distributors to submit an inventory to the chief of police every six months, and a ban on possessing guns – even legally – in public housing,&#8221; the report said.
The NRA said in a post that included the video: &#8220;Kamala Harris wants mass gun confiscation, and she’s willing to weaponize the government to enter your home and seize your legally owned guns.&#8221;

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> claimed during an interview that aired on Friday that she would not confiscate people&#8217;s firearms, but she would ban so-called &#8220;assault weapons,&#8221; which are nothing more than semi-automatic long guns.
Harris made the remarks during an interview with 6abc Action News when the interviewer brought up Harris&#8217; claim during the debate earlier this week that she owned a firearm.
&#8220;Where do you draw the line in America on gun ownership and gun use?&#8221; the interviewer asked.
&#8220;I am a gun owner,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;And Tim Walz, my running mate, is also a gun owner. We&#8217;re not taking anybody&#8217;s guns away. I support the Second Amendment and I support reasonable gun safety laws. Part of my approach to this is, I was a career prosecutor for most of my career. I have personally prosecuted homicide cases. I have personally looked at autopsies. I have personally seen what assault weapons do to the human body.&#8221;
&#8220;And so I feel very strongly that it is consistent with the Second Amendment and your right to own a gun to also say we need an assault weapons ban,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;They’re literally tools of war. They were literally designed to kill a lot of human beings quickly.&#8221;
Harris&#8217; claim that so-called &#8220;assault weapons&#8221; are &#8220;literally tools of war&#8221; is false.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
The weapons that she is referring to are the civilian versions of weapons that militaries and law enforcement agencies use. They do not have the ability to burst fire, which is typically 3 rounds per each pull of the trigger, nor do they have the ability to fire full-auto, which allows the weapon to repeatedly fire until it runs out of ammunition with a single pull of the trigger as long as the operator does not release the trigger.
&#8220;I say we need universal background checks,&#8221; she claimed, even though people already have to undergo a background check to purchase a firearm from an FFL. &#8220;The majority of NRA members support that. Why? Because it&#8217;s just reasonable. You just might want to know before someone can buy a lethal weapon if they&#8217;ve been found by a court to be a danger to themselves or others. You just might want to know.&#8221;

Kamala Harris Claims She Won’t Take Guns, But Signals She Wants A Ban

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> released a statement calling for gun bans and condemning Republicans and gun manufacturers after at least four people were killed when a gunman opened fire at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on Wednesday morning.
CNN reported that at least four people were killed and 30 people were injured after the shooter opened fire. The suspect, who is in police custody, is believed to be a 14-year-old male, a law enforcement source told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/apalachee-high-school-shooting-georgia-09-04-24/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>. Biden released a statement Wednesday afternoon, saying he is &#8220;mourning the deaths of those whose lives were cut short due to more senseless gun violence.&#8221;
“What should have been a joyous back-to-school season in Winder, Georgia, has now turned into another horrific reminder of how gun violence continues to tear our communities apart. Students across the country are learning how to duck and cover instead of how to read and write. We cannot continue to accept this as normal,” the president said.
Biden then slammed Republicans for their &#8220;inaction&#8221; on gun legislation, adding, &#8220;Republicans in Congress must finally say ‘enough is enough’ and work with Democrats to pass common-sense gun safety legislation.&#8221;
&#8220;We must ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines once again, require safe storage of firearms, enact universal background checks, and end immunity for gun manufacturers,&#8221; the statement continued.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said that nine people have been hospitalized with injuries following the shooting. CNN reported earlier that as many as 30 people were wounded in the shooting, but it&#8217;s unclear how many of those injuries were due to gunshot wounds and if they all required hospitalization.
Apalachee High School is 45 miles east of Atlanta and has nearly 2,000 students.

The special prosecutor who charged actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alec-baldwin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alec Baldwin</a> with involuntary manslaughter said the judge in the case “improperly” dismissed the charges.
Kari Morrissey argued in a July 31 filing made public on Monday that Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer used flawed reasoning in order to get the charges dismissed against Baldwin, Deadline <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/08/alec-baldwin-case-dismissed-improperly-prosecutor-claims-1236032139/">reported</a>.
The charges stem from an incident on the set of Baldwin’s film “Rust,” on October 21, 2021, when Baldwin began filming a scene and the gun he was holding fired a live round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured the film’s director, Joel Souza.
The armorer in charge of weapons on set, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was previously sentenced to 18 months in prison for her role in Hutchins’ death.
Gutierrez Reed filed an expedited motion last month asking for a new trial after Baldwin’s case was dismissed due to prosecutors withholding evidence from the defense.
Special prosecutor Morrissey also argued in his filing that Guetierrez Reed should not get a new trial.
“Based on the Court’s off-record statement, it was apparent that the Court was intending to dismiss the case,” Morrissey wrote. “Although the Court’s final order has not yet been filed, undersigned counsel contends that the Court misunderstood the testimony on July 12, 2024, and improperly dismissed the case against Mr. Baldwin.”
“If the Court were to decide that the dismissal of the case against Mr. Baldwin was proper there is one HUGE difference – in the Gutierrez case the State was not in possession of the Teske ammunition prior to trial (although arguably Mr. Bowles was), in the Baldwin case the State was in possession of the Teske ammunition,” the prosecution filing stated, referring to the Colt .45 rounds that suddenly appeared thanks to ex-Arizona cop Troy Teske, who was a friend of Gutierrez Reed’s father, himself a Hollywood gun coach. “[Guttierez Reed’s attorney Jason] Bowles is comparing apples and oranges and trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole.”

Sommer had ruled that the prosecution was “highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” thus warranting the case to be dismissed with prejudice, meaning prosecutors can’t regroup and try Baldwin again.
“The late discovery of this evidence has impacted the fundamental fairness of the proceedings,” Sommer ruled. “There is no way for the court to right this wrong. The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy.”
Baldwin was an executive producer on the film, which is why he was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He faced up to 18 months in prison if he had been convicted. “Rust” was canceled after the incident, and it is unclear when or if Baldwin will return to movies or television.

A man wearing a ski mask who was armed with an AK-47 was arrested near the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/republican-national-committee-rnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republican National Convention</a> this week as he approached the perimeter of the event, police revealed in a statement Tuesday evening.
Homeland Security Investigators and Capitol Police were surveilling the area on Monday, which comes just days after former President Donald Trump was shot during an assassination attempt, when they noticed a suspicious man approaching, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/armed-man-ski-mask-arrested-while-approaching-republican-national-convention-perimeter-milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The man was carrying a tactical bag that had an AK-47 and ammunition inside, the report said. It&#8217;s not clear what he was planning to do.
&#8220;Milwaukee Police arrested a 21-year-old man for carrying a concealed weapon on July 15, 2024, at approximately 1:00 p.m., on the 1200 block of N. 11th Street,&#8221; the Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement. &#8220;United States Capitol Police initially observed the suspect looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street.&#8221;
&#8220;United States Capitol Police performed a subject stop, and it was determined that the suspect was concealing a firearm in his backpack,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;The suspect does not have a legal CCW permit in Wisconsin or any other state. The suspect was arrested, and charges are pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney&#8217;s Office.&#8221;

Man Wearing Ski Mask With AK-47 Arrested Outside The Republican National Convention: Report

Republican National Convention

There is no such thing as a free nation where the police and military are allowed to keep and bear arms and citizens are not. Our Founding Fathers understood this and enshrined the basic right to self-defense in the U.S. Constitution. The Second Amendment guarantees the absolute ability to live in peace without fear.
The U.S. Supreme Court has, time and again, reaffirmed that right. Yet elected Democrats and other stakeholders continue their all-out assault on this freedom with the ultimate goal of denying law-abiding Americans the opportunity to purchase and carry guns.
That’s why, in 2022, I became concerned when Visa and Mastercard <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/visa-to-categorize-sales-at-gun-stores-in-win-for-gun-control-advocates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> they would separately categorize and track purchases for guns and ammunition. This move followed the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international standards organization based out of Europe, approving an application for a firearm-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC). This move would set a dangerous precedent targeting legal gun owners, the <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/09/13/key-facts-about-americans-and-guns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vast majority</a> of whom are Republicans or independents who lean Right.
A specific MCC for gun purchases would subject Americans attempting to exercise their constitutional rights to unnecessary and unethical surveillance. If rolled out, a national gun registry would be closer than ever, even though it is <a href="https://www.nraila.org/get-the-facts/registration-licensing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prohibited</a> by federal law. The Left, however, does not care about the rule of law and they certainly aren’t hiding their desire to take away your freedoms. An elected Democrat recently <a href="https://vinnews.com/2024/07/09/rep-bonnie-watson-coleman-advocates-for-national-gun-registry-during-atf-debate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> a federal gun registry a “wonderful idea.”
A gun-specific MCC is a clear threat to the privacy and Second Amendment rights of all Americans. Not only does it present an easy opportunity for liberal institutions to de-bank firearms sellers, which is abruptly closing financial accounts for religious and political reasons, but it could also discourage Americans from exercising their Constitutionally-protected rights. Importantly, the MCC would do absolutely nothing to improve public safety.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-than-100-house-republicans-demand-answers-from-credit-card-giants-categorizing-sales-at-gun-stores" target="_blank" rel="noopener">application</a> for a gun- and ammo-specific MCC came from Amalgamated Bank in 2022, a <a href="https://amalgamatedbank.com/who-we-are" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blatantly Left-wing</a> company that dubs itself America’s “socially responsible bank” and proudly says deposited money supports “sustainable organizations, progressive causes, and social justice.” Upon further examination, it’s clear the organization is closely connected to the Democrat Party. The New York Times in 2015 even <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/07/how-amalgamated-bank-became-the-the-lefts-private-banker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> it “the left’s private banker.”
Clients of the union-owned bank <a href="https://amalgamatedbank.com/political-organizations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">include</a> President Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi. Additional past and present clients <a href="https://amalgamatedbank.com/clients" target="_blank" rel="noopener">include</a> the Democratic Governors Association, the Biden Foundation, the Democratic National Committee, and Ready for Hillary 2016. Not exactly ardent defenders of the Second Amendment.
Amalgamated has also explicitly <a href="https://amalgamatedbank.com/anti-violence-and-gun-safety" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called for</a> unconstitutional red-flag laws and says it discriminates against gun, nuclear weapon and ammunition manufacturers and distributors. Radical private organizations like this and the ISO should be nowhere near our Second Amendment.
At the time of the approval, Amalgamated Chief Executive Priscilla Sims Brown <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/10/business/gun-stores-merchant-code-visa-american-express-mastercard/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the move “answers the call of millions of Americans who want safety from gun violence.” Does this call supersede the constitutional right to keep and bear arms? As a state representative serving the people of Northwest Tennessee, I can tell you my constituents would say that coastal elites and liberal corporations better stay far away from their guns and finances.
That’s why I set out to ensure this gun tracking scheme would never happen in the Volunteer State. This year, I sponsored the Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act, which was passed by the General Assembly and went into effect July 1. This new law will prohibit financial institutions from requiring retailers to use a specific MCC for firearms sellers in Tennessee.
Law-abiding Americans deserve to make these purchases without fear of liberal corporations and an overbearing federal government coordinating to spy on them. I was proud to provide that peace of mind to Tennesseans with the passage of this new law.
Just before the new law took effect, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti warned that Visa, Mastercard and American Express were potentially gearing up to ignore it.
“Specifically, I am concerned that your compliance efforts are not sufficient and will allow you and other financial institutions to continue to utilize impermissible codes in violation of Tennessee law,” he <a href="https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/attorneygeneral/documents/pr/2024/pr24-53-letter.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a June letter to the chief executives of each company.
No credit card company should be able to cancel the votes of millions of Tennesseans by disobeying our policies.
We’ve already seen the Orwellian-like behavior from the Biden Administration and the private companies all too willing to hand over sensitive information. Earlier this year, the House Judiciary Committee <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/in-the-news/alarming-surveillance-feds-asked-banks-search-private-transactions-terms-maga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> federal investigators had asked financial institutions to search customer transactions for various MCCs, stores and phrases, including Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, Dicks Sporting Goods, and MAGA.
The goal? Rooting out alleged “extremism” following the events at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
If the federal government and private companies are already using banking information to target conservatives, ask yourself why they might want a separate MCC for firearms and ammunition sellers. It’s clear that in attempting to force these codes on Americans, they are also attempting to reshape what the Second Amendment means in our country.
Americans are tired of these people and groups pushing an agenda contrary to our founding ideals. I’m proud Tennessee has taken a stand against the ever-increasing leftist corporate-government alliance meant to intimidate and silence Christians and conservatives. It’s time every state stands with us.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>&#8216;s law license in Washington, D.C., has been suspended after the first son was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-guilty-on-all-counts-in-gun-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found guilty</a> on all charges in his federal gun trial in Delaware earlier this month.
A D.C. Court of Appeals <a href="https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1805619568511000853" target="_blank" rel="noopener">order</a> on Tuesday said Biden is &#8220;suspended immediately from the practice of law &#8230; pending resolution of this matter&#8221; following his conviction on three felony counts that appear to be &#8220;serious crimes&#8221; as defined by D.C. Bar rules.
Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby, who signed the order, also said the Board on Professional Responsibility is &#8220;directed to institute a formal proceeding to determine the nature of the offense and whether it involves moral turpitude.&#8221;
Biden has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/06/18/hunter-biden-law-license-suspended/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> been a member of the D.C. bar since 2007, though CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/politics/hunter-biden-law-license-suspended/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that he has worked as an attorney in recent years as he sought income from other ventures, such as his 2021 memoir called &#8220;Beautiful Things&#8221; and his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/an-ethics-nightmare-hunter-biden-art-gallerist-interviewed-by-house-investigators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">art career</a>.
A disciplinary office in the nation&#8217;s capital <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/disciplinary-office-proposes-suspension-hunter-045011817.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recommended</a> that Biden&#8217;s law license be suspended a little more than a week after the 54-year-old was convicted of lying on paperwork for a revolver and owning the firearm while being a drug addict in 2018.
Court records <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/06/25/us-news/hunter-bidens-dc-law-license-suspended-after-gun-conviction-in-latest-blow-to-first-son/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a> by the New York Post <a href="https://www.jud.ct.gov/attorneyfirminquiry/JurisDetail.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicate</a> that Biden also has a law license in Connecticut that has been placed on administrative suspension for a failure to pay a fee.

The verdict in the gun trial could land Biden in prison for up to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-faces-up-to-25-years-in-prison-if-convicted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">25 years</a> and lead to fines as high as $750,000. However, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/06/18/hunter-biden-law-license-suspended/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Biden probably will receive a lighter sentence because he is a first-time offender.
Attorneys for Biden submitted a filing on Monday requesting a new trial while arguing that a federal appeals court did not give the trial court formal permission to proceed after dismissing his appeals, <a href="https://t.co/BWNHRbXU3t" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Reuters</a>.
President Joe Biden, who is running for a second term in the White House, has said he will not <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-claims-he-wont-pardon-his-son-if-hes-convicted-on-federal-gun-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pardon</a> his son or <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-would-not-commute-potential-sentence-son-hunter-biden/story?id=111095314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commute</a> whatever sentence Hunter may receive.
Hunter Biden is also facing a tax trial in California, which is set to begin in September.

In a new court filing, prosecutors have revealed some of the allegations against actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alec-baldwin">Alec Baldwin</a> that will be presented in his upcoming trial.
The 66-year-old will stand trial in conjunction with the death of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">cinematographer</a> Halyna Hutchins, who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">shot and killed</a> in 2021 by a firearm Baldwin was holding while filming the Western film, “Rust.” The actor maintains that the gun misfired, and he never pulled the trigger. But now reps for Hutchins claim Baldwin engaged in unsafe behaviors on the set. 
New court documents claim Baldwin asked for the “biggest” gun available and proceeded to mishandle it during filming.
The documents prepared by prosecutors state that the “30 Rock” star “used his gun as a pointer directing crew members” and “discharged the revolver after the filming was over and ‘cut’ was called.”
In the <a href="https://nmcourts.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/June-17-2024-States-Notice-to-Introduce-Other-Acts-Evidence-839p.pdf">court filing</a>, prosecutors <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/19/entertainment/rust-prosecutors-alec-baldwin-reckless-handling-firearm/index.html">claim</a> Baldwin “engaged in horseplay with the revolver while making videos.” Baldwin stands accused of pointing the gun at a crew member and firing a blank round “while using that crew member as a line of site (sic) as his perceived target,” according to the documents. They say he also “shot several scenes wherein he placed his finger on the trigger of the revolver where the scene did not require any shooting of the firearm.” 
Baldwin pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charges. He has attempted to have charges dismissed and rejected a plea deal.
The team also claims that the actor “was insistent that he not be required to follow safety recommendations made by film set safety experts” when filming resumed in Montana a year after Hutchins’ death.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, set armorer for “Rust,” was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter charges earlier this year. 
Baldwin also recently announced that he will star in a reality show about his life along with his wife, Hilaria, and their seven children. The news was met with skepticism, including from celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred. 
“This appears to me to be a calculated and cynical public relations move to try to influence the jury pool in New Mexico to think of him as a sympathetic family man rather than as the killer of Halyna Hutchins,” she told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/06/05/halyna-hutchins-family-attorney-gloria-allred-slam-alec-baldwin-reality-tv-show/">TMZ</a> of the series.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/supreme-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court</a> struck down a federal ban on bump stocks enacted by the Trump administration on Friday. 
The 6-3 ruling was split along ideological lines. Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/clarence-thomas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clarence Thomas</a> wrote in the majority opinion that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) exceeded its statutory authority when it announced a ban on bump stocks following a 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas. In the ruling, Thomas said that equipping rifles with bump stocks does not turn them into machine guns, meaning they cannot be prohibited under existing law.
“This case asks whether a bump stock — an accessory for a semi-automatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger (and therefore achieve a high rate of fire) — converts the rifle into a ‘machinegun,’” Thomas <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-976_e29g.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in his decision. “We conclude that semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is not a ‘machinegun’ because it does not fire more than one shot &#8216;by a single function of the trigger.&#8217;”
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-agrees-to-take-up-challenge-to-trump-era-bump-stock-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bump stock</a> is a device that can be attached to a semi-automatic firearm. It reduces the length of time between trigger pulls by harnessing the gun’s energy from recoil.
Thomas was joined in his decision by Justices John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Samuel Alito, who wrote a concurring opinion. In his concurrence, Alito said it would require new congressional legislation to ban bump stocks. 
“The horrible shooting spree in Las Vegas in 2017 did not change the statutory text or its meaning. That event demonstrated that a semiautomatic rifle with a bump stock can have the same lethal effect as a machinegun,” Alito wrote. “There is a simple remedy for the disparate treatment of bump stocks and machineguns. Congress can amend the law—and perhaps would have done so already if ATF had stuck with its earlier interpretation.”

The three liberals on the court, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, all dissented. 
The <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-rules-gun-bump-stocks-ban-unlawful-rcna154651" target="_blank" rel="noopener">case came</a> to the high court after gun owner Michael Cargill sued the government to reverse the ban after he turned in two of his bump stocks to the feds. 
As the case made its way through the court system, both the 5th and 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the ban. Biden’s Justice Department defended the rule in court after it was implemented by the Trump administration.
