Supreme Court Strikes Down Law Targeting Gun Owners’ Speech

Hadn’t seen this mentioned. Quoted from the AR15.com monthly email letter.

The Supreme Court Strikes Down Law that Targeted Gun Owners’ Speech


The Supreme Court struck down a Minnesota law that forbade voters from wearing “political insignias” at polling places after the law was challenged by a voter who was told he must remove or cover his Tea Party shirt.

It is beyond a doubt that the state's application of the law unfairly discriminated against the free speech of NRA members. The lawyer for the state himself told the court that, under the law, a shirt with the slogan “Parkland Strong” would be permissible, while an NRA shirt would not. Ironically, while a shirt displaying the text of the First Amendment would be allowed, a Second Amendment shirt, which “could be viewed as political” would not.

Easier to buy one unless you’ve turned Democrat.

How do you fight "Lurch" ?
First you need a couple of simple rules such as in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", and then finish the fight as the Kid did, and strip it off him as he is bent over.

And I'm definitely NOT Democrat !!!

That's not Lurch (portrayed by several actors) but Jaws or Reace played by Richard Kiel in a couple James Bond movies and Silver Streak respectively. Great guy, very friendly the one time I met him. Lost a good person there.

I forgot he was in Happy Gilmore. Other than Kiel and the blonde I didn't think much of the movie. Not a golf guy or Adam Sandler fan at all.
