  Courts Rethinking Machine Gun Ban in the Post-Bruen World In 2008, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, now deceased, called the prospect that a court would rule that fully automatic firearms were protected by the Second Amendment “startling.” Two U.S. District Court judges have issued such rulings based on the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen. Bruen states that a gun law is constitutional if it fits the plain text of the Second Amendment and has a historical analogue from the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification. Judges in Kansas and Mississippi found that the 1986 ban on civilian ownership of fully automatic firearms fails the Bruen test and is, therefore, unconstitutional. In 2022, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents found machine gun conversion devices (MCD) and a machine gun during a search of Justin Bryce Brown’s home in Mendenhall, Mississippi. He was charged with posse...

I mean, it’s just not reasonable,” Lutnick said. “So the president wants steel and aluminum in America, and let me be clear, nothing is going to stop that until we’ve got a big, strong domestic steel and aluminum capability. And by the way, he’s going to...

  50 Pounds of Fentanyl Seized in Southern California; 3 Suspects Face Felony Charges Los Angeles County authorities on March 11 announced a major drug bust that resulted in three arrests and the seizure of 50 pounds of fentanyl. The fentanyl haul was more than the total seized at the U.S.-Canadian border last year, according to District Attorney Nathan Hochman. Two of the three arrested were not required to post bond before they were released back into the community Wednesday, according to inmate records. Local police in Downey, about 16 miles south of Los Angeles, worked with a state and county fentanyl task force during the investigation. “To say this investigation has saved thousands of lives is an understatement,” Downey Police Chief Scott Lougher said at a news conference Tuesday in downtown Los Angeles, where he was joined by Attorney General Rob Bonta and Hochman. The three defendants, who were arrested March 5 in Downey, are Pricilla Gomez, 43, of Torrance; her brot...
