This is sure to give liberals apoplexy!

A federal judge has ruled that bans on guns with serial numbers removed are unconstitutional. 

According U.S. News & World Report:

(Reuters) -A federal judge in West Virginia has ruled that a federal ban on possessing a gun with its serial number removed is unconstitutional, the first such ruling since the U.S. Supreme Court dramatically expanded gun rights in June.

 U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin in Charleston on Wednesday found that the law was not consistent with the United States' "historical tradition of firearm regulation," the new standard laid out by the Supreme Court in its landmark ruling.

The decision came in a criminal case charging a man, Randy Price, with illegally possessing a gun with the serial number removed that was found in his car. The judge dismissed that charge, though Price is still charged with illegally possessing the gun after being convicted of previous felonies.

No doubt this decision will be appealed.

Joe Manchin Torpedoes Left's Spending Spree

Thank God that there's at least one senate Democrat with a lick of sense. And that is Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

He's come out against His Fraudulency Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" bill and liberals led by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki are screaming bloody murder. Yes, Manchin killed the left's spending spree plans.

From the Daily Wire:

White House press secretary Jen Psaki issued a statement Sunday accusing Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) of reversing his position and breaching commitments made to President Joe Biden when he said on “Fox News Sunday” that he could not move forward with the Build Back Better Act.

Citing inflation, which he said was clearly not transitory and impacting West Virginians on many levels, Manchin had told Fox News anchor Bret Baier just hours earlier that he was a definite “no” on the president’s signature legislation — the behemoth spending package that has been pitting Democrats against each other for months.

Psaki argued in her statement that Manchin’s comments were “at odds” with what he had told President Biden and said they represented “a breach of his commitments” with regard to continuing negotiations.  

Psaki went on to argue, as the White House has in the past, that the Build Back Better Act was “completely paid for” and would therefore not contribute to the deficit or to inflation.

 What a load of crap! God bless Joe Manchin!
