Prior to this, he was in the road filming/yelling at ICE vehicles.  This is the start of him no longer peaceful/legal protest.

The propaganda is running thick. Watch out.

Hard to deny the oil profit motive. Maybe he could spin it to some other personal benefit as well. Really hollows out his whole claim about not starting wars though.

I would be more interested in him taking a little more action of the religious massacres going on in Africa right now.

Isn't that Chris Marvin in that ad?

Things to keep in mind before I get into this.  Our attorneys primarily work on contingency, with no charge to the plaintiff except for some smaller fees. The attorney is paid by the County/State if they win a case in Federal court or settle it.  If the case is lost or ruled moot, the attorneys don't get paid anything.  Private practice civil rights attorneys are paid at the low end of the attorney's pay scale, so those who do it on contingency are a rare breed and do it for the cause.  Even if the attorney "wins" the case, the State can get it ruled moot, canceling out the attorney's pay, resulting in our attorneys losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on their "wins," such as our Taser and Butterfly Knife lawsuits.

Option #1 Pay up front
The attorneys will take almost any case if they are paid for it.  A slam dunk case with a fast settlement may cost $10,000.  Something that goes to the 9th Circuit 3-judge appeal is $150,000.  Going up to an En banc or SCOTUS appeal would be $300,000 or more.  It may seem excessive, but a significant amount of research, briefs, expert testimonies, fees, and travel is typically involved over a decade for a SCOTUS opinion.  For example, I just paid $2,200 today in this case for the 9th Circuit En Banc briefs formatting and printing fees, which is printing 20 copies of the court briefs.   If the attorney wins against the State/County, the client might get their money back.

Option #2 Contingency Basis
Attorneys working on contingency are looking for:
1.  Good chance of winning or settlement
2. A similar case wasn't previously lost with no major changes in the courts since then
3.  A person with a good, clean, and moral background
4.  A reliable and trustworthy person who will see the case through to the end, even if it takes 10 years (won't get in trouble, leave the state, etc.)
5.  Has been proven to be a 2A supporter through selfless acts
6.  Attorneys have the resources to take on the case

A good way to look at this is that we aren't taking cases to help the individual.  We are doing these cases to help the 2A cause and community in general.  I took on this case not to help myself, but to help the tens of thousands of others in Hawaii who struggle with the cost of living and can't take time off work to get a firearm.  The changes we've made in this case have saved the 2A community millions of dollars in lost wages, mileage, and productivity.

For the slam dunk, easy and quick to settle cases, we'll take just about anyone.  For complex cases that will run the course over a decade, we need people we can fully trust.  In order to trust them, we need to know who they are.  Know they are fighting for the 2A just as hard as we are.  They are contributing to the cause not necessarily with money, but with their time, efforts, and sacrifice. 

Most of the plaintiffs in the high-profile and long-running cases have done that and proven themselves.  They've put in hundreds of hours of work and a lot of their own money to support the 2A and the attorneys.  I put $15,000 into this case alone.

The long shut down of the silhouette range has resulted in multiple issues:

1) targets and stands will have to be replaced.
2) all steel targets will have to be ar500. New targets are on order.
3) some of the ar500 targets on the range were stolen/missing
4) a homeless dude was living in the facility. He/they/them has been evicted.
5) the netting to deflect ejected shell casings will have to be replaced.
6) a new PA system is being installed.

silhouette range staff have gone thru NRA training.
the new rules will be posted at the range.
instead of repairing damaged steel targets, targets will be replaced with new targets ordered from the mainland.

The club is grateful that Frank, the new range master has a very well rounded back ground.
He is a very good guy to work with in spite of having a tough job. He has done an excellent job
in working with government officials. He deserves our support.

Working with government appointees can be beyond frustrating. Many are not experts but
we have to work with them. They are here today and gone with the next admin.       

awa was the deciding vote in committee for the .50 cal ban
he voted yes because he made a deal with rhoads to do it in exchange for his ban on foreigners buying real estate bill getting a hearing
so the bill advanced to the house where they amended it to it's current state...
