The War on Guns – Notes from the Resistance

Slow Going Ahead

Climb

I’ll be taking a Me Day” to take advantage of today’s beautiful weather to go and familiarize myself with this, sent to me by friend Len Savage, who further modified it to make sure I’ll be super safe.

I was fortunate to get access to private land via a friend because ranges around here don’t much embrace these.

I expect there’ll be another AmmoLand article I drafted yesterday to publicize on my return — that is, assuming I just don’t hang out the rest of the day with pals and wait until tomorrow, when I also hope to get to already submitted news tips.

So Now WE’RE the Ones Pushing ‘Common Sense Gun Safety’ Laws?

NEW AMTRAK FIREARM TRANSPORT RULES MAKE SENSE, SAYS CCRKBA… “Your Second Amendment rights don’t end at the railroad tracks,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. [More]

They don’t end in the f_ing baggage car, either.

You wanna push this as an improvement over the way things were, fine. But what I’m feeling from this ain’t rain.

More Advice Republicans Will Ignore

Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning. [More]

Oh, look, the daughter of a Palestinian immigrant who capitalizes “Black” and uses lowercase for “white” says the person who posted this is “racist. Disgustingly so.”

The New Moderates

Far-left “squad” member Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) claimed there is “much more trust in government” in democratic socialist countries, and she called government “the great equalizer of opportunity.” [More]

After what we just saw in the midterms, don’t they mean “mainstream”…?

Means and Opportunity

“The proximity of this event notwithstanding, we have no indication that the shooting was related to the operations of the Republican Party of Virginia.” [More]

What are the indications that it wasn’t?

Around the World in a Daze

Like Tyler Robinson, the young man who assassinated Charlie Kirk, Temulun Togochog was seemingly normal before educational brainwashing. She loved America and was grateful to have escaped Communism before she went to university. But the University of Michigan has so brainwashed her that she violently attacked a Jewish student and screamed her desire to kill her. [More]

I don’t suppose sending her back to Mongolia is an option…?

And why does “No brainee to washee” come to mind? (@55 minutes in).

We’re the Only Ones ‘Once We Pop the Fun Don’t Stop!’ Enough

A former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy was sentenced on Thursday for attempting to smuggle more than one pound of heroin, concealed inside Pringles potato chips cans, into a county jail. [More]

I guess the genius didn’t realize a can weighs about a third as much…?

Chop Chop?

The City of Glendale, California, cannot impose unconstitutional $2,000 costs to obtain a concealed carry permit for lawful firearms. We @CivilRights gave them one week to fix it. Tick tock! pic.twitter.com/xXFyHeerCv

The question burning on all our minds…

Our Friends on This Side of the Aisle

Democrat Senfronia Thompson Says She Has Votes to Become Texas House Speaker – The longtime Democrat announced Friday that a majority of lawmakers have pledged their support, including some Republicans. [More]

Which “Republicans” figure this is acceptable?

The Republicans are Tom Craddick of Midland, Pat Curry of Waco, Drew Darby of San Angelo, Jay Dean of Longview, Charlie Geren of Fort Worth, Todd Hunter of Corpus Christi, Ken King of Canadian, and J.M. Lozano of Kingsville.

The first name on the list is NRA-endorsed. So’s the second. And the third. And the fourth. And the fifth. And the sixth. And the seventh. Might as well make it unanimous.

Heck, she even gets three exclamation points from Shannon Watts!!!

Coming Soon, to a Neighborhood Near You

Mary Driscoll knows how that sounds. But there’s a world of difference, she says, between fighting an unwanted utility and the exclusionary politics that keep neighborhoods wealthy and segregated. [More]

Got it. Curtail power and build more low-income housing. As demanded by affluent white people, if that photo is any indicator.

What could go wrong— for them and for everybody else?

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

I wonder how Mary feels about guns.

Gunman who killed 6 in Poland’s Krakow square dies in hospital after police shootout [More]

Well, if the enforcers for the EU coup plotters who have obscured his social media trail and their DSM megaphones say he was “far right,” who are we to question it?

I guess this kills any chances of liberalization of gun laws as a hedge against tyranny.

Open Books

We have compiled thousands of U.S. Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and Joint military publications and put them into one easily searchable library. This is the largest collection of these public domain resources in one place, with documents dating from WWII through the most current publications, covering everything from warfighting and radio operations to equipment maintenance, medical care, engineering, and more. [More]

This looks like quite the resource. Especially for the way things are going.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
