The case involves New York gunowners Brandon Koch and Robert Nash, who were denied a license to carry because they did not “demonstrate a special need for self-defense.”
In today’s hyper-partisan political environment, our elected officials can hardly agree on anything. The one consistent exception? Lawmakers always seem able to come together to find new ways to spend and tax away our money. The latest example comes courtesy of the House’s bipartisan “Problem Solvers Caucus.” The group of 58 lawmakers from both parties released a plan to pay for infrastructure spending in part by raising the gas tax. New taxes are always bad news, but this one is particularly alarming. Gas taxes and other levies on transportation disproportionately hurt poor and working-class Americans, who, after a year of lockdown-induced recession, can hardly afford another gut punch from our political class.
Could bipartisan police reform actually be on the horizon? That’s the goal of Republican Senator Tim Scott, who will introduce a plan partially rolling back the civil liability shield police officers currently enjoy, known as “qualified immunity”. “Sen. Tim Scott (R–S.C.) has reportedly proposed a compromise to rein in qualified immunity, the legal doctrine that makes it difficult for victims to sue government officials when their constitutional rights have been violated,” Reason’s Billy Binion reports. “Scott, who has served as the Republican leader on police reform talks, is suggesting that the doctrine be pulled back for law enforcement and that liability shift from individual cops to the departments that employ them.”

How reliable are government declarations that mask mandates prevent the spread of the coronavirus? Our recent experience with researchers from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention has left us less than confident that the public should trust the CDC’s published research, much less any pronouncements based on that research. The growth in reported case incidence (and mortality) was, overall, virtually indistinguishable in counties with and without mask mandates. While many facts were unknown when the disease first took hold in the United States, a great deal of the evidence was quite clear by May. As the public health emergency abates, Congress, the media, and the American public should heavily scrutinize the agency’s procedures and practices.

Russian oil exporters may suspend supplies to Belarus’s Naftan refinery after the United States tightened sanctions on Belarus over alleged human rights violations and abuses, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Washington last week revoked authorisations for certain U.S. transactions with nine sanctioned Belarusian state-owned enterprises, including Naftan and its owner Belneftekhim. While not directly affected by the move, Russian companies are concerned they could be penalised if they continue dealing with the Belarusian businesses.
