TROLP is proud that our publication of "Treating Young Adults as Citizens" by Professor Mocsary of @uwyo_firearms was cited to in an 11th Circuit dissent this month!

[University of Wyoming Firearms Research Center @uwyo_firearms]

FRC Director George A. Mocsary and Senior Fellow Dave Kopel were both cited recently in the 11th Circuit opinion on NRA v. Bondi. Professor Mocsary's article, "Treating Young Adults as Citizens", was published by the @UTLawTROLP in 2023. Read it here -> https://t.co/zq6VQP9Zxe

Several members of the majority wrote a separate concurrence, criticizing "Judge VanDyke’s novel form of 'dissent.'"

"Here's a bunch of grips that I mutilated over the years"

[National Association for Gun Rights @gunrights]

You love to see it.

A judge who knows what he is talking about and can demonstrate it.

@washingtonpost has picked up Judge VanDyke's video dissent, just as the Youtube video has crossed the 50k views mark.
However, the article's title describes a "bag of firearms"—so, does WaPo think that the grips alone are "firearms" or "accessories"?

We need to normalize based judges having an AK proudly displayed in their office.

[Kostas Moros @MorosKostas]

I hope we see more video supplements to opinions. On both sides. I want antigun judges to explain their understanding of firearms to us.

Judge VanDyke's novel video dissent explains why the court's ruling is "inconsistent with reality": https://t.co/IotHqraCBv

🚨BREAKING🚨

Judge VanDyke posts video dissenting from unconstitutional 9th Circuit decision while disassembling guns with an AK mounted in his chambers.

The 2025 TROLP Banquet was a tremendous success!
This year TROLP's Jurist of the Year was Judge Lawrence VanDyke of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Thank you to Judge Van Dyke for joining us for a wonderful weekend, and thank you to all who attended!
