A federal judge has struck down a California law that prohibits the purchase of more than one gun in a 30-day period. “U.S. District Judge William Hayes sided with a group of California residents‚ gun retailers and gun rights nonprofits in finding that the one-gun-a-month law did not fit within the nation’s historical tradition of firearms regulation‚” Reuters reports. The judge stayed his ruling for 30 days to give the state time to appeal. Federal Judge Strikes Down California Gun Sale Rationing Restriction Link: https://t.co/mctVce8pq7 — The Reload (@TheReloadSite) March 11‚ 2024 Per Reuters: The ruling is the latest to deem a state gun law unconstitutional in the wake of the high court’s landmark decision in New York State Rifle &; Pistol Association v. Bruen‚ which dramatically expanded gun rights. Bill Sack‚ the director of legal operations for the Second Amendment Foundation‚ one of the groups challenging the law‚ told Reuters that the California law was a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment. “Inherent to the right to keep and bear arms is the right to acquire them‚” Sack said. A spokesperson from the California attorney general’s office‚ which defended the law‚ said it was reviewing the ruling. The law‚ which was updated to include more restrictions in 2021 and in 2024‚ is meant to cut down on straw purchases of guns‚ in which one person buys a gun for another person who may be legally barred from purchasing it themselves.

The order has been paused for 30 days to allow for an appeal‚ meaning the law is still in place—for now. pic.twitter.com/Mbgxzmy6AY — Firearms Policy Coalition (@gunpolicy) March 12‚ 2024 “Defendants have not met their burden of producing a ‘well-established and representative historical analogue’ to the [one-gun-a-month] law‚” the opinion read‚ according to the Firearms Policy Coalition. “The Court therefore concludes that Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgment as to the constitutionality of the [one-gun-a-month] law under the Second Amendment‚” it added. More from the Firearms Policy Coalition: “Another week‚ another California gun control law declared unconstitutional by a federal court‚” said Cody J. Wisniewski‚ FPC Action Foundation’s Vice President and General Counsel‚ and counsel for FPC. “California’s one-gun-a-month law directly violates California resident’s right to acquire arms and has no basis in history. Given it seems certain California will refuse to learn its lesson‚ we look forward to continuing to strike down its gun control regime and to defending this victory.” The Court instructed the parties to file a proposed judgment in seven days‚ which will “include language that enforcement of the judgment is stayed for thirty (30) days to facilitate an appeal.” Plaintiffs in this case are six individual FPC members‚ PWGG‚ L.P.‚ North County Shooting Center‚ San Diego County Gun Owners PAC‚ and the Second Amendment Foundation.

A Belgian court has sentenced an activist to one year in prison for running an organization that allegedly spreads “racist‚ hateful‚ Nazi and negationist speech.” According to POLITICO‚ a judge said 30-year-old Dries Van Langenhove “revelled in Nazi ideas that cause much suffering.” “Dries Van Langenhove‚ a political activist and leader of a Flemish-nationalist youth movement called Schild &; Vrienden‚ was convicted of inciting violence and denying the Holocaust‚ the Ghent criminal court ruled Tuesday morning‚” the outlet reports. “Former Flemish parliamentarian Dries Van Langenhove has just been sentenced to 1 year IN PRISON because supposedly ‘racist memes’ were shared in a private group chat he was a part of‚” Eva Vlaardingerbroek said. “This is the absolute state of freedom of speech in Europe. They’re jailing patriotic dissidents. Next time they’ll do this to me‚ you or anyone who goes against the globalist regime. I’m seriously lost for words here. This is full blown tyranny and we should fight it with all our might‚” she continued.

Humor. Memes that I didn’t even post myself‚ by the way. S&;V is therefore launching a crowdfunding campaign to help pay the fines of Dries and the other activists‚” he continued. “Someone else sent this meme in a group chat and you were given a prison sentence?” Elon Musk asked. “Yes. Even though the judge (and the media) admitted that I never sent any of these memes‚ he argued that I should have done more to keep others from sending them and he labeled the memes ‘hatespeech’‚ which is a punishable offense in Belgium‚” Van Langenhove answered.

A 2018 TV report by public broadcaster VRT showed that members of the group were exchanging racist and antisemitic messages in group chats‚ triggering a judicial investigation into the movement. Van Langenhove ran for elected office in 2019 and sat in the country’s federal parliament from 2019-2023 as an independent member in the political group of Vlaams Belang‚ Flanders’ main far-right party that wields an anti-immigrant rhetoric and wants to turn Flanders into a fully independent‚ breakaway state. According to POLITICO’s Poll of Polls‚ Vlaams Belang is now the biggest political force in Belgium. Elections are due in June 2024. Van Langenhove left his seat in parliament in 2023 to focus on political activism. The judgment also deprived Van Langenhove of certain civil rights for a period of 10 years‚ during which he won’t be able to serve in public office or run in elections. He will also have to pay a €16‚000 fine and received a separate‚ 10 month suspended prison sentence.

A report by The Washington Post claimed Donald Trump once offered to sell Truth Social to Elon Musk. The unverified report cited two unnamed sources who reportedly said Trump made the suggestion last summer. The alleged talks didn’t lead anywhere‚ the report claimed.

Trump was reportedly trying to sell the social network at the time‚ and SEC filings from 2023 revealed that Trump Media &; Technology Group had lost over $31 million since it began operating Truth Social in 2021—only making a profit in 2022. Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s Twitter account in November 2022‚ but Trump has remained on Truth Social. The report said Trump and Musk have been in contact more often than was previously known. Donald Trump asked billionaire X owner Elon Musk last summer if he wanted to buy Truth Social https://t.co/tAV5BV7XL0 pic.twitter.com/1sA7qHPEWK — Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) March 12‚ 2024 From Business Insider: Trump confirmed he recently met with Musk in a CNBC interview. The former president said he didn’t know if Musk would endorse him. Musk reinstated Trump’s Twitter account in November 2022 just weeks after he took control of the company in a $44 billion deal. Trump was kicked off Twitter following the deadly January 6‚ 2021 Capitol riot. However‚ Trump has continued to prefer using Truth Social despite having far fewer followers there than on X. Representatives for Musk and Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider‚ made outside normal working hours. Neither responded to requests for comment from the Post. According to multiple reports‚ Trump met with Musk and a “few wealthy Republican donors” in Florida. Donald Trump Reportedly Meets With Elon Musk And GOP Donors The New York Times said it spoke with three people briefed on the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Mr. Trump and his team are working to find additional major donors to shore up his finances as he heads into an expected general election against President Biden‚” The New York Times wrote. “Mr. Trump has praised Mr. Musk to allies and hopes to have a one-on-one meeting with the billionaire soon‚ according to a person who has discussed the matter with Mr. Trump‚” the outlet added.

But his recent social media posts suggest he thinks it’s essential that Mr. Biden be defeated in November — and people who have spoken to Mr. Musk privately confirmed that is indeed his view. With a net worth of around $200 billion‚ according to Forbes‚ Mr. Musk could decide to throw his weight behind Mr. Trump and potentially‚ almost single-handedly‚ erase what is expected to be Mr. Biden and his allies’ huge financial advantage over the former president. Aides to Mr. Trump did not respond to a request for comment. Mr. Musk did not respond to requests for comment. Mr. Musk has long portrayed himself as independent-minded‚ and like many business leaders he has donated to candidates from both parties over the years. Unlike other U.S. billionaires‚ he has not spent heavily on a presidential election‚ and his donations have been fairly evenly split over the years between Democrats and Republicans. Mr. Musk’s businesses‚ Tesla and SpaceX‚ have benefited from federal government contracts and subsidies. A person close to Mr. Musk said his relationship with the government had historically made him wary about identifying too closely with one political party over the other.
