E D I T O R I A L Violence Sometimes Is The Best — And Only Solution THE bromide sounds so good and comfy: “Violence never solves anything!”. That’s why so many people accept it. That’s why they unthinkingly pass it on. That’s why, despite it’s being bullshit, the damn catch phrase has become almost a guide for those poor saps who now live in a feral world and who feel helpless to deal with it. “Well,” they tell themselves, “violence certainly is no solution. We’ve just got to find ways to encourage dialog with troublemakers, and talk out our differences.” The truth is that while always regrettable, recourse to physical force is sometimes desperately necessary and completely justifiable. This fact —— this concept —— was once understood as being axiomatic. No sane person questioned, for example, that the absolute right to self-defense existed for everyone; everywhere, and at all times. Today, a great deal of confusion has been allowed to permeate the minds of formerly sensible people, and we observe such horse manure as “zero tolerance for violence” being announced as policy in the public schools —— making a bully’s victim as culpable as the bully if that victim defends himself.

This guide has two goals: • Explain the current California knife laws using plain language. • Help individuals identify whether a knife is or is not “illegal.” This information is presented as a brief synopsis of the law and not as legal advice. Use of the guide does not create a lawyer/client relationship. Laws are interpreted differently by enforcement officers, prosecuting attorneys, and judges.

On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI DANIEL L. SCHMUTTER Counsel of Record HARTMAN & WINNICKI, P.C. 74 Passaic Street Ridgewood, NJ 07450 (201) 967-8040 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioners January 14, 2019 QUESTION PRESENTED In United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 745 (1987), this Court held that to maintain a facial challenge, a plaintiff must establish that “no set of circumstances exists under which the Act would be valid.” 481 U.S. at 745. The federal courts of appeals are starkly split on the question of whether this rule was relaxed by the Court in the context of vagueness cases in Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015), and Sessions v. Dimaya, 138 S. Ct. 1204 (2018). The Fourth and Eighth Circuits have answered in the affirmative. See Kolbe v. Hogan, 849 F.3d 114, 148 fn.19 (4th Cir. 2017); United States v. Bramer, 832 F.3d 908 (8th Cir. 2016). By contrast, the Second Circuit expressly insisted below that no such relaxation has taken place. Copeland v. Vance, 893 F.3d 101, 113 fn.3 (2d Cir. 2018). The question presented is: Whether a plaintiff need show that a law is vague in all of its applications to succeed in a facial vagueness challenge.
  • Offensive Weapons Bill Submission to Committee John Pidgeon

    Offensive Weapons Bill Submission to Committee John Pidgeon

    Written evidence submitted by CART (Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team) (OWB91) Please find attached my expert witness statement to the Committee. I am an Author and Historical Researcher and one of the leading experts in Military and Antique Knives with 45 years experience. The submission is made on behalf of CART (Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team), a group of like-minded volunteers whom carryout research and educate the public in the activities of the British Resistance. There are a number of discrepancies and omissions between the Bill and its associated Explanatory Notes, which make the meaning unclear. I have left these out of the main submission, as they are admin errors. Clause 22 of the Offensive Weapons Bill 17/19 deals with items prohibited under Section 141 CJA 1988 making them additionally illegal to possess in private adds the defence of “historical importance”. There is no such entry, further explanation or definition of “historical importance" in the corresponding Notes under Clause 22. Clauses 19 and 20 of the Offensive Weapons Bill 17/19 deal with gravity knives and flick knives under Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1959 adding possession to the new Bill but with no additional defences. However the corresponding Notes on Cause 20 refer to Section 141 of CJA 1988, which does have defences and the new defence of “historic importance”. Additionally Clause 23 sub clause 110 of the Notes specifically states the defences of Section 141 CJA 1988 apply to Clause 20 of the Offensive Weapons Bill 17/19. Yours sincerely, John Pidgeon July 2018 Summary 1. I have limited my expert witness statement to the proposed ban on ownership of certain weapons and the defences as laid out in clauses 20, 22 and 23.
