Garland has been vacated via a three-judge panel. This essentially means that the panel ruled that bump stocks are not machine guns. This is a victory for the 2nd Amendment community even if you're not a fan of the bump stock.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Save the Second Podcast. Today is Sunday, November 10rd, 2019 - Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! In this episode we’ll discuss:Monday’s WSJ Article about LaPierre’s Lavish Travel… NRA drops lawsuit against SF BoardOversight Subcommittees Refer NRA Leadership’s Alleged Financial Fraud for InvestigationBoD election candidates 2020.Main SubjectMonday’s WSJ Article about Lavish Travel“Inside the NRA, accountants were instructed to pay travel bills from her company without the usual detailed supporting documentation, which was held in a private file in the NRA’s treasurer’s office, said people familiar with the matter. The bills totaled about $2 million in one recent year, according to one of these people.”“Ms. Stanford was paid in two ways by the NRA. She operates her business from her Woodland Hills, Calif., home, using a company called Inventive Incentives and Insurance Services Inc., or II & IS, which billed the gun-rights group directly.”“At the same time she was providing services to the NRA, Ms. Stanford was involved in a side business that allegedly defrauded small-business owners out of money, according to a 2009 lawsuit by the Texas attorney general.”“Elizabeth Kingsley, an attorney in Washington, D.C., who advises nonprofits, questioned the NRA’s arrangement with Ms. Stanford. “If I’m on a board spending substantial amounts of money on private jet travel for our CEO because of security concerns, yet we’re working with alleged fraudsters, it doesn’t add up,” she said.”“Mr. Stanford himself is a felon. He pleaded guilty in 1990 to federal charges of participating in an oil-well investment fraud and served a brief time in prison, records show. He didn’t respond to calls seeking comment.” NRA drops lawsuit against SF BoardWhy did that take a month of billable hours? SF conceded on Oct 1st. Who is calling the shots? Brewer?Different law firm, “Instead they used Las Vegas based Garman Turner Gordon as their attorney on the ground and Brewer, Attorneys and Counselors, as “of counsel”.”Both sides are now claiming victory in the lawsuit.Oversight Subcommittees Refer NRA Leadership’s Alleged Financial Fraud for Investigation - Oct16According to public reports and the NRA’s tax filings, 18 of the 76 members of the board—nearly a quarter—received payments during the past three years from the 501(c)(4) that they oversee. These reported payments include the following: $610,000 to board member and former president Marion Hammer for consulting and lobbying services;$255,000 to board member Lance Olson for fundraising and outreach;$400,000 to board member Dave Butz for firearms training and outreach;$28,750 to board member Bart Skelton for contributing to NRA publications;$50,000 and $23,500 to companies affiliated with board member Ted Nugent and former board member Craig Morgan, respectively, for musical performances; and$3.1 million in sales made to the NRA Foundation by Crow Shooting Supply, formerly led by former board member and former president Pete Brownell.
