Federal court tosses challenge to Kansas gun law

Updated 11:40 am, Friday, June 5, 2015

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge has tossed out a legal challenge from a national gun control group of a Kansas law that asserts the federal government lacks authority to regulate firearms made, sold and kept only in the state.

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson ruled Friday that the Washington-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence failed to show that the state law's enforcement inflicts an actual or imminent injury on any of its members. Robinson said the federal court therefore lacks jurisdiction to consider the merits of the lawsuit.

She granted the state's motion to entirely dismiss the case without prejudice, meaning it could be refiled.

The 2013 state law at issue makes it a felony for any U.S. government employee to attempt to enforce federal regulations for Kansas-only firearms or ammunition.

The brady campaign loses. Again.

But the tide is turning. Or something.

1. Something tells me this decision will be seminal for many issues beyond gun control.

A second look at the 10th Amendment, i.e. MJ legalization?

2. that is why they tried for the tax stamp scheme in

the 1930s.

3. W.O.D. laws are a witch's brew of tax stamps, IC Clause, and Admiralty law to circumvent the 10th.

4. Hmmm, Brady org. doesn't have a very good track record,

matter of fact, gun control groups aren't having any meaningful success, yet we're constantly told that the tide is changing, or the backlash is coming.

5. Any day now

That day seems to be getting further away 😀😀

6. I'm glad the right thing is happening, that rights are being affirmed but for self-defense

and government; but I'm not in a gloating mood.

I know that sounds "scoldy" and I'm sorry for that but we need to be the good guys.

7. No problem, and I generally agree. eom
