Notes from the Resistance
I have babysitting duty.
Also WordPress did an update and the pub tool is all screwed up.
I’ll try to get into the site a few time for comments and maybe some posts/updates, plus I have an article to finish, but please understand if I can’t get to your news tips.
Democratic congressional candidate Katy Padilla Stout says she supports stripping legal adults under 21 of their ability to purchase commonly owned semiautomatic rifles because their brains supposedly are not sufficiently developed. [More]
But they’re developed enough to vote for her..?
Say… she is stout.
Imagine this slovenly gas bag telling fine, fit young men like this she knows better.
A tanker was boarded by six armed people who took control of the vessel and diverted it towards Somalia … UKMTO provided no further details and did not say whether the tanker or its crew were safe. [More]
The following is from “A Pirate’s Life for Me!,” one of my GUNS & AMMO columns from 2002:
Hoses against weapons. Trembling behind hatches. Everything but standing up on your sea-legs and fighting. How about just opening fire on them?
The IMO’s Captain Hartmut Hesse says armed guards on ships “will only increase violence, it will not deter the pirates.”
The IMO guide Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships, cautions “The carrying and use of firearms … is strongly discouraged. [It] may encourage attackers to carry firearms thereby escalating an already dangerous situation, and any firearms on board may themselves become an attractive target for an attacker. The use of firearms requires special training and aptitudes and the risk of accidents… is great.”
…Agreeing with Captain Hesse, and chastising Lloyd’s List for editorially suggesting otherwise, is Captain John Dalby of Marine Risk Management, a “maritime asset recovery and protection” company. While admitting “It is the sailors… who are being kidnaped, beached, set adrift … or summarily killed,” he warns that “only tragedy will result from inexperienced people trying to fight fire with fire. Leave intervention and reaction to those who are best equipped and trained for it.”
The thought strikes: Minnesota doesn’t have nearly enough of these types. And they’ll all vote Democrat.
Har!
As an old college buddy used to say, “The things yuh see when yuh ain’t got a gun…”
A question struck me in all this rights restoration brouhaha: How do you answer Section B.21.d. on the 4473? If the form needs to be modified, that’s another drawn-out rule change.
I’m also thinking some poor slob who was innocent but pleaded to a domestic violence misdemeanor to avoid made up felony charges he couldn’t afford to fight will never get his rights restored because it’s too much of a political third rail. Or basically anybody charged under Lautenberg…
ATF’s newly updated registry shows 6,654,209 suppressors, more than 1.2 million short-barreled rifles, and over 8.1 million registered items across four major NFA categories. In this video, we examine how the government’s own numbers strengthen the “common use” argument under Heller, Caetano, and Bruen—and further undermine the constitutional foundation of the National Firearms Act. [Watch]
Yeah, well, don’t get too comfortable with “common use” being the cutoff for protected arms.

A sitting House Democrat who’s being investigated over sexual relations with a congressional aide is now being accused of assault. [More]
How ’bout “Ni UNA Más”…?
F_n’ idiots.
So… ya think Everytown/Moms Demand, Brady, Giffords, and Newtown Alliance will take back their endorsements?
And like Hillary says:
San Diego County will stop letting federal immigration agents train at local firing ranges [More]
Remember when San Diego used to be Republican?
Remember when California was?
2001…?
This “one or two generations” mantra the gunfluencers are feeding us is going the wrong way!
[Via Steve T]
“What was supposed to be a routine arrest…”? With a nine-guy assault team deploying with “weapons of war”…?
That’s the new normal?

Received via email:
And remember, you will be doing these things at the Stark County Fair, a family-friendly community event with something for everyone. [More]
I asked them if they had something for me:
For the record, will I be able to lawfully carry a firearm there, including in enclosed buildings?
What is NRA doing about existing bans?

I’ll let you know if they reply.
“Communism, at the heart of it all, is a system of government that puts the power back into the hands of the people.”
Pure communism, as envisioned by Marx, is a stateless society. The reason useful idiots say we’ve never tried it is because once in power, instead of giving it up, those running the “dictatorship of the proletariat” prove the axiom about absolute power. I’m sure he’s never read the works– gets his platitudes from Instagram– good grief.
Working class means you’re a worker, which obviously leaves this loser out.
What a f_n’ citizenship malpractitioner moron, who is clueless as to what happens when useful idiots are no longer needed and get redesignated as useless eaters.
And DSA’s “burning hatred” of the Constitution means its candidates are incapable of taking the required oath of office, meaning they must either be disqualified beforehand, have the seat withheld if they refuse to take it, or expelled and tried for perjury if they do.
With all the high-fiving going on in the gun community over this announcement, keeping things in perspective is needed to temper the enthusiasm and maintain progress on advancing the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
The continuation of this program is as secure as the outcome in the upcoming elections.
And the question just struck me: How do you answer Section B.21.d. on the 4473? If the form needs to be modified, that’s another drawn-out rule change.
Hawaii gunowner targets Denver open-carry ban [More]
Didn’t the Supreme Court say back in 1856 that a citizen has “the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased… and to keep and carry arms wherever they went”…?
A judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has ruled in favor of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed in Defense Distributed v. Blanche (formerly VanDerStok v. Bondi), holding the ATF’s “Frame or Receiver” Rule, which expanded the definition of a “firearm,” unconstitutional on both Second Amendment and due process grounds. [More]
Making DIYers great again…
Waukesha police unintentionally shot hostage during Meijer standoff [More]
In fairness, if Meijer took down the damn signs they’d have fewer hostages.

Serve the system and this is how it treats you.
How many others have never emerged to the other side?
So, he got the charges dismissed and his record expunged (40 minute mark). Who thinks rights restoration for non-Only Ones is a New Jersey priority?

Connecticut gun dealers forced to suffer yet another no-sales day… The State of Connecticut does not allow gun dealers to run their own NICS computer checks. It insists on running the checks for them, as well as a half-dozen other state checks… “I’m not saying that the State of Connecticut is intentionally doing it, but it’s been consistent enough lately.” [More]
Of course they’re doing it intentionally. Knowing this is a recurring problem that denies citizens their rights and costs already struggling dealers a lot of money — and not making it a priority to fix it — is just another way gun-hating Connecticut Democrats are saying “F_ you, die.”
RKBA advocates there ought to file a FOIA with SLFU (!) for all internal government correspondence/emails, minutes, instructions, records, etc.
We are losing Texas. Unconstrained immigration has introduced cultures that have no intention of assimilating to become Americans. Political Islam is on the march, undeterred by federal, state, or local action. [More]
Don’t tell me.
Tell Ranjit, Stephen, Kostas, Hannah, and Cam.
Tell self-blinded gun owners who agree with them on this without ever taking the challenge.
[Via Sweet Babboo]
The need to apply consistent criteria is not only a matter of basic fairness, but of law. The release of requested records, without disclosing exempt information, will help ensure that. [More]
Think of it as a good first step, but remember what they say about a journey of a thousand miles.
