Notes from the Resistance
The November 2026 issue of Firearms News is now available at diverse, equitable and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic.
My offerings this time around:
You could always save yourself a trip to the store and subscribe.
Slowly, a new authoritarian imperial order is taking shape within the European Union. This must be met with an unyielding patriotic response. [More]
Which is why, as noted, an existential crisis is no time to find out how many Poles it takes to swap a mag.
Except, as is so often true, the main threat was not external.
Unsuppressed: Straight Shooting with Chris Chiafullo and ATF Director Robert Cekada [Watch]
Longtime readers know I view services like FFLGuard essential for dealers who want to keep trouble from happening in the first place and who don’t want to have to go for help when things blow up on them.
I’m surprised this exclusive video hasn’t gotten more widespread publicity within the 2A community. Please help change that, and while you’re at it, bookmark the channel to watch more.
We know since this was made several days back a key player discussed is moving on. And yeah, unless and until what we all want happens, this is as good as we’re gonna get, which is a hell of a lot better than anything we’ve had so far.
I figured out what her rage screaming reminded me of.
God help me, I’m agreeing with James Carville, just not for the same reasons. Funny, how leftists are allowed to get away with vulgar sexism that would cancel anyone else.
And sorry, Rep. Luna, why would a 2A stalwart offer aid and comfort to an enemy who wants to disarm us and not have their priorities questioned? Taking the win does not require further support.
This whole flap illustrates a key difference between ruthless Democrats playing to win and feckless Republicans dithering to look fair. The former are demanding Steven’s head. Where is the similar lynching party for serial turncoat Lisa Murkowski over the same offense?

Very sad news for the Soldier of Fortune community. Robert K. Brown, founder of Soldier of Fortune, has passed away at age 93. His wife announced today that he died on August 28. Today would have been his 94th birthday. [More]
That is sad.
I’ll be forever grateful for his kind recognition. It’s funny… I recall getting occasional emails and phone calls from him soliciting my input on this or that, and always having the feeling that a man of great insight was treating me with more consideration than I merited.
I guess making people feel valued is what makes a leader that you follow because you want to.
Ohio’s Senate has taken clear, decisive action on suppressor reform, but the House has not finished the job. Senate Bill 214 passed the Senate by a decisive 31–1 vote, yet months later, the bill remains stalled in the House Public Safety Committee. [More]
Way to douse fire in gun voter bellies before the midterms!
The California Post was there as Federal SWAT teams sought their suspects in a series of predawn raids, targeting high-class criminals such as Dr. Hany Malek, 61, an allegedly armed-and-dangerous chiropractor accused of keeping an arsenal in his $2 million Tarzana mansion. [More]
But…but…but “Overall, California has the strongest gun safety laws in the nation and has been a trailblazer for gun safety reform for the past 30 years.”
Does this mean all it takes for none of them to work is a criminal not obeying them?

“Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good. ‘Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I can’t think of a more juvenile expectation than for an adult to think someone else is supposed to come save him and his, especially when the “Only Ones” can’t get there in time, dither when they do, and have a prime directive to make it home at the end of their shift. [Watch]
I didn’t get from the short who that absurd douche who believes himself to be an authority is– anybody know? I ain’t done with him.

WT livin’ F?
There is no excuse for this and plenty of continuum of force arrest options that don’t begin with potentially lethal or long-term disability-inducing assault and battery.
With all the bad ICE press happening, especially right before midterms, somebody thought leaving this masked thug off the leash was a fine idea? Nobody there smart enough to understand that cameras– and hatred for their agency — are everywhere, and this visually bolsters everything the leftists are saying about them?
This violent m**********r needs to not just be fired, but arrested and prosecuted. And tested for ‘roid rage substances.
Most disappointing of all– Facebook “conservatives” cheering this on. Talk about a mob that has no conception of a Bill of Rights culture and confirms the brown shirt accusations. If this were an enforcer for a Democrat administration, they’d be the first ones screaming and then going for a lawyer.

“Never to cause harm again”… written by true apparatchik.
Does Greta Thunberg know about this?
How about OSHA, to ensure breathing safety equipment is in place and permissible exposure limits for airborne contaminants aren’t exceeded?

Another of the interminable political spam texts just received:
Yeah, we know Husted’s a squish.
We also know the election will be binary and from how much he’s got to spend and all credible polling, Redpath knows that too, so he knows his run is a spoiler and everything he takes away will work in “Gun Sense Candidate” Sherrod Brown’s favor.
And as for his being such a 2A pal, he also knows his suicidal immigration platform will undo it all:
The same goes for “straightforward and clear lawful path to citizenship” Governor candidate Donald Kissick, whose run will only benefit Everytown pick Amy Acton.
Then again, how can we blame them if our own “gun influencers” refuse to admit the truth?
According to a Department of Homeland Security press release, the Maryland wokies were trying to protect the MS-13 member accused of raping a child from being taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In Democrat-controlled cities, counties, and states, officials and judges will often release the most dangerous and vile illegal alien criminals after ICE files detainer requests for them. Their ideology is so perverse that they find it more important to undermine ICE than to ensure that illegal alien criminals face justice and are incapable of harming more Americans. [More]
I do wonder how many of their victims are within Democrat constituencies.

St. Louis County felon who sold guns, drugs to ATF found guilty [More]
So… trusting someone without a custodian who can’t be trusted with a gun doesn’t work…?

Think Europe’s Chaos Can’t Happen Here? It’s Already Being Planned [More]
I don’t know anyone who thinks that.
And yeah, we know it’s being planned.
And all the useful idiots who vote Democrat tomorrow will be all for it.

The FCC will vote November 19 on allowing prisons to jam contraband cellphones used to order hits, coordinate gang activity, and exploit children. [More]
Now watch some Democrat judge block them from trying.
Government can’t control what criminals possess when they have total control of their environment, and we’re supposed to believe if the “law-abiding” are disarmed that predators will be, too?

Each state has carefully crafted its concealed-carry laws in the way that makes the most sense to protect its citizens… Clearly, large, urban areas merit a different standard than rural areas. To gut the ability of local police and sheriffs to determine who should be able to carry a concealed weapon makes no sense. It could reverse the dramatic success we’ve had in reducing crime in most all parts of America. –SENATOR CHARLES SCHUMER, 7/21/09 [More]
Except with more gun owners, more guns, and more widespread concealed carry, crime and violent crime is down, lower than it was then.
How much more evidence is needed that prohibitionists and Democrats (but I repeat myself) have been, are, and will be wrong on this I don’t know, as I’m not someone who would rule by emotions.

Maybe it’s a New York/places that make it harder for good people to defend themselves kind of thing. Just got these headlines:
ChatGPT cited fake local news sites promoting Democrats ahead of the midterms, an NPR investigation found. Who runs the network remains unknown. [More]
Sounds like the feds should be investigating for election interference, violation of campaign laws, and foreign influence.

In a nutshell, what’s happened is that frontier AI models have gotten to a point where they are as advanced as the most sophisticated programmers, with one critical difference: they can work 24/7, and you can spin up 10,000 of them with a single command and they’ll work together tirelessly until they accomplish their task.

Why wouldn’t affecting the midterms be a priority?
