Notes from the Resistance
With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]
There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?
I mean, who would believe it if you told them that CNN would turn an Islamist terrorist attack on New York City into a tale of two brothers minding their own business until they were forced to protest the injustice of white supremacists who were committing an Islamophobic hate crime? [More]

U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales announced he will no longer seek re-election, effectively making gun rights activist Brandon Herrera the Republican nominee in Texas’ 23rd Congressional District. [More]
I wonder if he has any regrets yet.

I would bet that the vast majority of all NYPD officers never even touched a real firearm until after they joined the department and were sent to the range. After all, guns and gun owners are bad, right? [More]
That’s not far off from what a retired NYPD Sergeant and firearms instructor, whom I actually developed a cordial relationship with, told me over several evenings of drinks and cigars.
The bill does not force any retailer to provide firearm storage, nor does it micromanage the agreement between them and a firearm owner… Additionally, the bill does not mandate storage by any firearm owner, nor does it provide a pathway for others to do so without the owner’s consent. [More]
Those would have been my two main concerns.
I guess I’m lucky this is not a situation I’ll likely find myself in. You know, because I don’t own guns– evil, nasty things always going around killing people…
A new major federal court case has just been commenced in the US District Court of Hawaii challenging the state’s ban on non-residents being able to carry handguns in the state for self defense purposes… Alan Beck has set forth an impressive set of 35 pages of historical material that arguably can give rise to… a constitutional right to conceal carry nationwide.

Of course they do:
A plan comes together and deliberately indifferent “gun groups” are letting it.
Chief Patron of HB217, Del. Helmer, is on record saying they want them all gone. Helmer, a Jew, clearly is not familiar with JPFO, or the history of disarmament of Jews in the 20th century, and the consequences thereof.
And not just these. He and his treasonous kind want them all but most are politically savvy enough to know that it’s too soon to show all theirs cards.
Not to criticize my friend Aaron Zelman, who is no longer around to offer rebuttal, but “bagel brain” is too excusing of evil. That Helmer has a distinguished military career makes it worse, in a Benedict Arnold kinda way.
Another thing worth repeating: When the hell is SCOTUS gonna slap down such nonsense and put an end to it? Because if they don’t do it before Republicans hand over the keys in the midterms and ’28, all those gun owners who didn’t vote and made this outcome inevitable are going to find out what doing it the hard way entails.

Rep. Thomas Massie addressed that and more when he introduced a House version (HR9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act) in 2024. Going back to that article reminded me that NRA downgraded him for voting against industry-approved gun control.
In a moment we should have seen coming, New York Times columnist David French has just gushed out a shameless celebration of Talarico’s insane nonsense, every word of which should qualify the worst op-ed prostitute in America for urgent psychiatric intervention. Here’s a whole paragraph: “Or, to put it another way, Talarico is one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian, and by acting like a Christian he reveals a profound contrast with so many members of the MAGA Christian movement that’s dominated American political life for 10 years.” [More]
Who but Democrats believe the DSM lie that David French is a “conservative”?
And who but a useful idiot believes James Talarico is anything other than a subversive?
