[Bullet speed matters, but so does bullet weight] According to "assault weapon" ban proponents, the AR rifle's lethality is all about how fast its bullets travel. The Washington Post recently claimed that "what makes [the AR] so deadly is the speed of [its] bullet." "The higher speed of a bullet from an AR-15 causes far more damage after it hits the body and drastically reduces a person's chances of survival." Scott Pelley at CBS News declared that "the… [read post]

[Ruling against town of Superior's law is the first post-Bruen decision on arms bans] Today U.S. District Judge Raymond P.

Today I filed an amicus brief arguing that the Court should grant cert. The case began several years ago, when Alameda County forbade John Teixeira and his partners to open a gun store anywhere within the jurisdiction of the county. The plaintiffs are represented by Alan Gura (winning attorney in District of Columbia v. Heller, and many other… [read post]

The failures of law enforcement before and during that crime—and the media and political failures thereafter—were similar to those related to the recent murders in Parkland, Florida. These failures are part of the reason why school shootings, and other mass attacks, persist in the United States today. This… [read post]
