Notes from the Resistance
“This was an incident where my client was on his own property, on the second floor of his apartment. A stand your ground motion will be forthcoming,” the attorney said, adding Lamanna had no prior criminal history. [More]
He will now, the anger management-challenged headcase.

Considering Brazil at that time, plain clothes “Only Ones” doesn’t exactly scream “Freedom!” to me… And learning nothing from history, they’re bent on repeating it.
Rob Sand is a gun-toting Christian from rural Iowa who goes deer hunting, drives a white Ford F-150 pickup, and opens speeches by quoting the Bible. He is also a rising Democratic star whose run for governor is spooking Republicans in the ruby red state. [More]
Here he is congratulating a doctrinaire gun-grabber on her win.
What kind of stupid Fudd would you have to be to be taken in by this fraud?

What emerges from the Sandy Hook record is not clarity but crisis at every level. Psychiatrists shielded. Records sealed. Forensics contradictions. Nancy’s diary suppressed. Evidence mishandled. Police corruption. Autopsy chain of custody broken. Toxicology compromised. Each institution acted not to reveal the truth, but to guard itself. [More]
Is anyone with the ability to do anything about it asking “Why?”
Why not?

I’d rather his beneficiaries meet him.

Active Clubs are white supremacy’s new, dangerous frontier [More]
So… Greatest Threat 2.0?
So the racist cultural terraformers can exalt blacks and diminish whites, and not expect pushback, especially after 12 years of public school indoctrination geared toward generating shame and self-loathing?
I wouldn’t be too quick to form alliances, though, because racism is collectivism, and Hitler and Mussolini were both socialists.

When they say “Dettelbach’s puppet,” do they mean with strings or…?
Swatting mayhem: Universities scrambling to respond to hoax active shooter reports [More]
An expectation of certain public caning upon conviction followed by 20 years busting rocks would put the crimp on a lot of impulses. Unfortunately, that would just net the stupid ones. Then again, maybe the government doesn’t want to admit how much it can crack and trace because of larger priorities.
As for real threats, less of this and more of this would go a long way toward making things right.

These totalitarian wannabes reveal themselves every time they open their yaps.

Shocking Photos Reveal Boston Firefighter’s Alleged ‘Gun Cave’ — With What Appears to Be a 200-Foot Firing Range Beneath His Home [More]
So, aside from the meth and stolen armor, who did he threaten? Who did he hurt? Who did he kill? Why the hoplophobic hysteria? (Oh, right: Boston.)
Who snitched, or did he do that to himself?
Who “leaked” the photos and why, and won’t they prejudice a jury? “Restraining order”? Ex-wife trying to “get” him?

How the NYPD, Manhattan DA are fighting radical online ghost gun manufacturers [P. 14]
I like the old one just fine, thank you.
You know, the one where the Framers envisioned guns without serial numbers for everyone…
Didn’t they even include a Preamble to the Bill of Rights to explain why, that is, “in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of … powers”?
Ol’ Deputy Chief Nilan certainly looks the part.
(4) acknowledges that States with strong gun laws are endangered by States with weak gun laws, and that the trafficking of firearms across State lines puts the safety of all Americans at risk; and (5) acknowledges that Congress has a duty to pass comprehensive Federal gun safety legislation in order to prevent future tragedies and address the epidemic of gun violence in the country. [More]
New York citizen disarmament for everybody! By bagel brains, of course.
What can I say besides Jerry Nadler, Dan Goldman, and Democrats?
They, of course, know this only has a “7% chance of being agreed to“– for now. Let the Republicans blow it and the Dems regain majorities and this will only be a “good first step.”

First, court held that Tennessee’s “intent to go armed” statute violates the Tennessee Constitution and the Second Amendment. Second, the ruling declared unconstitutional Tennessee’s statute which makes it a criminal offense to merely carry certain weapons in parks and recreational areas even if for self-defense. [More]
Fine. A three-judge panel. What will the full court say, and how long will this intolerable nonsense go on?
I’m imagining what David Crockett would have had to say about this.

Democrats break GOP’s supermajority in Iowa after flipping state Senate seat [More]
Democrat Catelin Drey got 55% of the vote. She’s the founder of Moms for Iowa, which proclaims on its website:
We are passionate about curbing gun violence…
So Iowa gun owners should have known she’s a danger.
Republican opponent Christopher Prosch was described by Iowa Firearms Coalition as a “pro-Second Amendment candidate.” Their interview video has generated a whopping 81 views at this writing with no apparent shares. Its posting on X.com garnered one repost.
If gun owners don’t get involved — meaningfully — we can kiss the midterms goodbye. Don’t believe “the”gunfluencer” hype about Democrats being out of money, because the special interests it represents aren’t, or the party being too far left, because the dumbed-down, outraged, resentful and self-entitled constituents aren’t.
Apathy has always been a greater enemy than the antis, and if it continues, count on those who never lifted a finger to bitch and moan the loudest.
“We” sure do put a lot of deserved blame on Republicans. When a good one comes along, who helps ensure self government through representation?
Johns Hopkins has once more beclowned itself as a purveyor of agenda driven “junk science” [More]
If we can’t believe prohibitionist gunquacks, who can we believe?
We can always count on your paper to print illogical rants when it comes to guns, and the Aug. 4 editorial where it lent its voice to the New York Daily News was no exception (“Gullible public laps up same toxic myth about guns”). [More]
WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M got another letter published
Every regular reader here — especially those of you who post comments — has everything he needs to write a letter to the editor. Why not do it?
I used to get ’em published all the time — before I started blogging and doing magazine columns (nice to see SCOTUS has finally come around on history and tradition):
Great… my woke spell check is acting up again:
