"[T]he waiting period is just an artificial delay on possession" (p. 20), "a standardless, temporary disarmament measure" (p.21) according to the Republican federal appeals court judges on the 10th Circuit, appointed by Trump and Bush. This is part 2 of a multi-part series following the injunctive relief individuals got on 19 August 2025, when the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Democrat Legislature in New Mexico on the 7-day "cooling off period" wait for firearms.

2025/09/11

Today we take a brief look at what exactly Charlie Kirk did on college campuses--let's describe that well, ensconced as it was within and reacting to the cultural trend of anti-intellectual laziness that produced the need for that work, sometimes cloaked in the phrase "head knowledge" as opposed to "heart knowledge." Jesus never denigrated knowledge; instead he commanded us to love God with all of our minds. Charlie was animated by living out that command as best he could. Charlie was animated by

I began recording this episode with knowledge that Charlie Kirk had been seriously wounded at a college campus. During the recording of the episode, right in the middle thereabouts, I found out he died, and so what was to be just the next in a series on Duncan v. Bonta, a final episode on VanDyke's powerful dissent to that en banc 9th Circuit case in March of this past year became a reaction to his assassination. So, therefore, this episode is in honor of Charlie Kirk. This episode includes a

On 19 August 2025, the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Democrat Legislature in New Mexico on the 7-day "cooling off period" wait for firearms. And the 3 judge panel split along Republican/Democrat lines , 2 to 1, with both George W. Bush and Trump Republicans on the same side of the Constitution against an Obama judge. Here's a link to the decision. For some reason, the text I was reading on the podcast didn't display properly on the YouBoob recording, but you can follow along
