Crucial Components in the Creation of Successful 2nd Amendment “Sanctuary” States

Posted by Cody Wisniewski on July 19, 2021 55 Comments

Recently, Joel Osterhoudt of Reason published an interesting piece recognizing the rise in Second Amendment “sanctuary” states and cities across the nation. As Osterhoudt rightly recognizes, this movement largely relies on the model established by the immigration and marijuana sanctuaries that arose in progressive cities and states in response to the Trump Administration.

Did the 9th Circuit Just Erase “to Bear” Arms from the Second Amendment?

Posted by Cody Wisniewski on April 03, 2021 39 Comments

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 24th issued its long-awaited decision in Young v. Hawaii (full decision embedded at bottom of post). The case presented the Circuit with a not-so-straightforward question: Since Hawaii heavily regulates the concealed carriage of firearms, which licensing scheme has been upheld by the Ninth Circuit, can Hawaii even more heavily regulate the open carriage of firearms?
