ANOTHER CIVIL RIGHTS VICTORY: Reportedly, HR 5013, which prohibits gun confiscations of the sort we saw in New Orleans after Katrina, has passed Congress.

Dave Hardy observes: “If the bill as passed tracks the earlier language, then it makes another (the fifth?) time that Congress in a preamble to a bill finds the Second Amendment to be an individual right. . . . Any person affected has a right to sue for damages, and recovery of legal fees is mandatory if they win.”

That’s excellent. Now we should try the same approach for wrong-house no-knock raids.
