Of all the statements I’ve every hear made my a jurist, this is perhaps the worst.

“Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.”

I am pretty sure the Second Amendment exists in New York.

There was recently, an entire Supreme Court decision explicitly stating that the Second Amendment applied in New York.

For background:

NYC Man Convicted Over Gunsmithing Hobby After Judge Says 2nd Amendment ‘Doesn’t Exist in This Courtroom’

A Brooklyn man has been convicted of 13 weapons charges after having been arrested and charged in 2022 for building his own firearms. 

Taylor, a 52-year-old New York native and a software engineer, discovered the world of gunsmithing years ago. He decided to take it up as a hobby and possibly turn it into a business later. However, when a joint ATF/NYPD task force discovered he was legally buying parts from various companies, they opened up an investigation that led to a SWAT raid and arrest.

During an interview with Vinoo Varghese, Taylor’s defense lawyer, he detailed how Taylor’s trial proceeded and highlighted a distinct bias in favor of the prosecution.

Varghese described how Taylor became fascinated by weapon science during the COVID-19 lockdowns, which inspired him to take up his gunsmithing hobby. “He ended up building, I believe it was eight pistols and five rifles or six rifles, AR-style rifles, and then eight or nine Glock pistols that he built,” Varghese said.

From the beginning of Taylor’s trial, it was evident that the court would be biased against the defendant, according to Varghese, who explained that two judges presided over his case before the current official, Judge Abena Darkeh, took over.

The judge disrupted Varghese’s opening statement multiple times as he tried to set the stage for Taylor’s defense. Even further, she admonished the defense to refrain from mentioning the Second Amendment during the trial. Varghese told RedState:

She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.’

I would suspect that such a statement would be grounds for appeal.

A judge outright denying a Constitutional right in court as the basis for a defense is not something that should not be allowed to stand.

I’m sure she shouldn’t be allowed to be a judge anymore for saying something so egregious.

This does go to show you that New Yorkers do not think of themselves as Americans, but something superior to the rest of the country.

Not in New York, where both concealed-carry and self-defense are illegal.

But in any Red state, pulling out a lighter, holding it up to someone’s chest, and threatening to light them on fire is sufficient justification to shoot them in self-defense.

I’ve never seen a Kentucky heart shot on a human before, but if it works, ot works.

He very much is a member of the Dick Shooters Club with that one.

If I ever meet him, I’ll give him a free patch.

From The Daily Mail:

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi, 21, says she is now homeless and starving after being suspended from college over anti-Israel protests at Columbia University which saw her zip-tied for seven hours

Isra Hirsi, the daughter of left-wing Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, says she’s has nowhere to live or eat after being suspended for participating in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University.

She and two of her Barnard College classmates – the college is a sister school with Columbia – are among the more than 100 protestors have been arrested, an NYPD spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com.

‘I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to.’

She said the administration at Barnard College has hung her out to dry when it comes to being able to get food.

‘I sent them an email like, “Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,” and they were like, Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended,’ she said.

‘There was no food support, no nothing.’

That’s bullshit.

She’s the daughter of a United States Congresswoman who funneled nearly $3 million to her husband’s firm from her reelection campaign.

I doubt she’s starving. If she is, it’s just for show.

I’m not going to show any empathy for the Jew-hating daughter of a Jew-hating Congresswoman who pocketed millions in campaign funds.

From our university campuses.

This is still mob violence.

Their words are polite.

Their chant sounds like they are making reasonable demands about privacy and how they are the aggrieved victims.

But all of that is camouflage for the fact that what they are doing is mob violence.

They have linked arms and are attempting to use their bodies like a human bulldozer to force other people out of an area they have a lawful right to be in.

They are threatening people with for and are initiating physical contact.

They are the instigators of violence.

This needs to be recognized as such, both in the popular culture and in the law.

These people cannot be allowed to harm others and get away with it because they were polite at the time.

Meanwhile… In California…

A group of kids with guns steal a Corvette directly out of the drive way of somebody’s house.

In California, of course not.

But I’m curious about other states.

These criminals were threatening the life of the home owner.

Yes, I would be scared of one of these punks firing a round through a window at me while I called the cops.

I wonder if Florida or Texas would allow a claim for self defense if the owner fired a round at the person threating to kill them.

Armor piercing ammunition, explosives, and destructive devices should be legal, without additional scrutiny under the NFA, under the Second Amendment.

The Heller decision stated that the reason for the right to bear arms was self defense.

I need the ability to defend myself against killer robots.
