YOU’D THINK THIS WOULD BE BIGGER NEWS: An Arrest for Supreme Court Threats.

As the public waits for more details from the investigation into the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, police on Wednesday arrested a 76-year-old Alaska man for sending online threats to “assault, kidnap, and murder six Justices of the United States Supreme Court and some of their family members,” as the feds put it in a court filing.

Panos Anastasiou is accused of sending more than 465 messages via an online portal on the Court’s website. Here’s one from May that gives the flavor: “I’m going to call and urge my fellow Vietnam veterans… to drive by the [Supreme Court Justice 2]’s house with their AR15’s and when f— [Supreme Court Justice 2] and his f— PIECE OF S— C— WIFE are HOME spray the home of these disrespectful mother f— with hundreds of rounds.”

The indictment doesn’t name the Justices targeted, but it isn’t all that difficult to read between the lines. Some of the messages call them “corrupt,” and one refers to the Justice’s spouse as his “n— loving insurrectionist wife.” In a statement from the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland says the defendant made these threats against the Justices “to retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with.”

He is facing 22 counts in total, including nine for threatening a federal judge, a crime that’s punishable by up to 10 years in prison per instance. He has pleaded not guilty, and his defense attorney declined to comment to the Associated Press.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB: The Most Surprising New Gun Owners Are U.S. Liberals.

American gun culture has long been dominated by conservative, white men. Now, in a marked change, a burgeoning number of liberals are buying firearms, according to surveys and fast-growing gun groups drawing minorities and progressives.

“It’s a group of people who five years ago would never have considered buying a gun,” says Jennifer Hubbert, an anthropology professor at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore., who has researched liberal gun owners.

Historically, it wasn’t unusual for Democrats to own guns, with many more of them living in rural areas. Also, hunting was much more popular. But starting in the early ’90s, gun ownership among Democrats dropped significantly. Increasingly divisive political battles over the role of firearms in American society led the Democratic Party to become an advocate for gun regulation. Republicans became the party of gun rights.

Now, today’s Democrats are rediscovering guns.

Exercising civil rights should cross the partisan divide. But it sure would be nice if these new gun owners would go ahead and just take the red pill.

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES… OR ARE THEY? Denver fur ban initiative targets fashion industry, but it’s got fly-fishers and cowboy hat makers worried too.

Initiated Ordinance 308 — which seeks to prohibit the manufacturing, sale, trade and display of select fur products — would have a raft of consequences that go beyond prohibiting retailers in the Mile High City from selling fox and raccoon fur coats, those opponents say.

It also could cut into the inventory at fly-fishing shops, people in the angling business say. It could upend the market for custom hat makers who are keeping Denver’s dusty old cow town traditions alive.

The measure could even make it more difficult for people with Indigenous ancestry to purchase fur products that are part of their cultural heritage. That, despite a specific carveout in the proposed ordinance’s language that would allow members of federally recognized Native American tribes to purchase products for tribal, cultural and spiritual purposes, opponents say.

“I think the exemption that whoever wrote was very specific and very narrow. And I think it was written without a clear understanding that across the United States, a majority of American Indians are self-identified — and not officially enrolled with any federally recognized tribes,” said Ernest House Jr., the former director executive director of the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs. He’s a member of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.

It isn’t like Denver has a Big Fur problem and fur sellers will just move out to the suburbs. Initiated Ordinance 308 looks like yet another one of those vanity law projects that won’t change much but will inconvenience a few people the anti-fur people don’t care about.
