Notes from the Resistance
So, say the Democrats do well in the midterms and go on to retake the White House. What will that mean for all the progress made on advancing the Second Amendment over the past few years? [More]
What will it take to undo all the progress that’s been made on the Second Amendment in recent years? Stay home on November 3 and find out.
Hunting is a great American pastime. Unfortunately, human error, equipment malfunctions, and medical emergencies lead to hundreds of accidents each year [More]
As with all such statistics, there will be concentrations that affect the whole. I’d like to see a further breakdown between Fudds who vote Democrat and Constitutionalists.
Then again, in the interests of fairness:
North Carolina state Rep. Jennifer Balkcom has been named as the new GOP nominee for the state’s 11th Congressional District in the wake of incumbent Rep. Chuck Edwards’ announcement last week that he was nixing his re-election bid. [More]
I wanted to see how she was on guns and came across this piece of “real reporting”:
[State Rep. Tracy] Clark was thrilled when she saw the title of Republican Rep. Jennifer Balkcom’s bill: The Gun Violence Prevention Act. She was less enthused when she read it. The bill enhances sentences for possessing, brandishing or discharging a firearm while attempting or committing a felony. Several other bills under consideration this session also increase punishments for crimes involving guns… Research shows sentence enhancements don’t work to deter gun violence, said [Sam] Levy, the Everytown for Gun Safety policy expert. But talking about the need to be “tougher on criminals” and “lock them up” are common refrains from people who “don’t want to have real conversations” about the issue, he said.
So, according to gungrabber “experts,” malum prohibitum trumps malum in se, and locking up criminals doesn’t stop them from victimizing the public.
What mental contortions must you need to twist your brain into to swallow this crap?
The family and friends of Laci Peterson are among the advocates of California murder victims opposing a new parole board policy that would open a path to recommend resentencing or clemency for serial killers, mass shooters and other convicts serving sentences of life without parole when it goes into effect later this year. [More]
Of course, after they get out they’ll need safe passage.
It’s enough to make me rethink my position on capital punishment– starting with parole boards and politicians who appoint them.

Multiple admin sources tell me the DOJ official pushing to appeal the case to the 5th Circuit is attorney Brett Shumate, who oversees the civil division at DOJ. Sources expressed shock at the extent to which Shumate seems to be controlled by anti-2A and anti-gun career bureaucrats within DOJ. [More]
Seeing as how all hands received a clear 2A directive with instructions to comply, where are the insubordination terminations?
Let’s find out.
I’d have copied Todd Blanche but his old account no longer exists and I can’t find a new one yet.

GOA sent out a clarifying email in re yesterday’s post.
The email I was responding to said this:
The new one says this:
I’m guilty of not reading things more carefully. In way of excuse-making, the appeal I responded to a few days back generated an email, and that’s where my head was still at when I got this new one.
Anyway, I called the number– twice, because each time it said to complete the call I had to press two digits and both times it disconnected me without allowing me to speak to anyone or leave a message.
Might I suggest another way that will not only make sure the message is delivered but also shows others how they can join in?
Alleged robber wearing ski mask shot and killed by delivery driver in Miami Gardens, police and witnesses say [More]
With actions like checking to see if neighbors had cameras that recorded the incident, it sounds like the defender’s detention was procedural. What’s unclear is how this will affect his livelihood, because it’s not like many people whose economic prospects make them choose to be delivery drivers have a lot of other options.
On the plus side, if he delivered for DoorDash, I can’t find any policy explicitly forbidding independent contractors from being lawfully armed. Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything, because it’d be just like the hysterical b_s at Moms Demand Action to start a harassment campaign.

TELL THE WHITE HOUSE: DON’T LET DOJ APPEAL OUR WIN! [More]
I was gonna say it took me less than five minutes to read the appeal, complete the petition, and post this announcement, but I can’t get the damn “Contact the White House Here!” link to work.
If you have better success, educate me in “Comments.”

What’s left to investigate and how long are they going to get away with that excuse?
That’s the problem with authorities controlling all the information.

They say he’s been getting away with it for years. Figures guys like him are the “Only Ones” corrupt and stupid Democrats want to have guns.
As he waited, he was polishing a powder horn, which is a musket-era gunpowder container in the shape of a bull’s horn, according to police… The incident prompted a heavy police response, with multiple cruisers at the scene and parts of Worthen Road being closed. [More]
