Notes from the Resistance
A bill working its way through the Ohio legislature would allow residents to sue cities for punitive and/or monetary damages if they try to ignore the state’s preemption laws on guns. [More]
OK, but it’ll be the productive segment paying for the sins of the Democrats. Once that passes, do another making violators personally liable.
Speech and debate clauses weren’t intended to be a license for treason.
I remember getting derailed the last time I made that argument…
A major new study supporting the 2nd Amendment has been released on the eve of Oral Argument in the Seigel/Koons case out of NJ. [Watch]
Now we get to see how that 8 to 6 Republican ratio matters.
There’s still one real vulnerability I don’t see addressed by on-premises armed guards and metal detectors:
You gotta make it from the parking lot to the building first.

Second Amendment Sanctuary Update Action Items!… If you can turn out in support, that would be helpful! [More]
I see the petition to “Stop Virginia’s Tyrannical Gun Grab” is up over 6,000 “signatures.”
Everybody see the number of “signatures” that mattered?
Firearm access, storage practices, and suicide risk factors among Colorado adults during 2020–2022 [More]
Careful– they’re about to undermine the argument that police are the “Only Ones” who can be trusted with guns!
I’d like to see someone compare suicide rates between, say, NRA members and the Nihonjin over in gun-free Japan…
Or with assisted frostbacks…

Firearms manufacturers that closed down operations and filed for bankruptcy in 2025 included SCCY Industries LLC, whose assets were seized by the Volusia County Tax Office of Florida at its Daytona factory on March 11, 2025, for non-payment of tax debts of almost $250,000… And now, struggling firearms maker and dealer Custombilt Firearms Manufacturing LLC has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after battling the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives over its license in 2023 and 2024. [More]
So, unlike Big Rock, they’re both being shut down by governments headed by “pro-gun” administrations…?

This is why I keep telling you the most important issue for our Second Amendment rights is immigration. If we lose the immigration war, if we allow our country to be invaded by people legally or illegally, by the way, legal immigration is just as much of a problem as illegal immigration in my view because you’re bringing in people that do not share our values, do not share our respect for the Constitution… [Watch]
Who else has been beating this drum and documenting why?
And decrying more prominent 2A influencers for dismissing it?
It figures the ones who defend Democrats also advocate stupid $#!+ like this:
Goal #5: Return to exclusive focus on Second Amendment issues…It does not include issues like … immigration, and other political lightning rods that have little or nothing to do with the Second Amendment.
We get the same kind of denial of the way things through unachievably theoretical wishful thinking from the Libertarian Party:
Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.
Anyone who says it’s not existential is a liar, a fool, or both. Between traitors, suicidal idiots, and poltroons afraid that people who already call them racists will criticize them some more, the West will be cooked unless a critical mass wakes the f### up…
Now, if we could just get Smith to admit the one inconvenient truth about “in common use at the time“…
If that had been the litmus test at the time of ratification, breech loaders would have been considered dangerous and unusual.

Destiny Wells announces congressional run in Indiana’s 7th district [More]
That and the Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association has fewer Facebook followers than I do (and my limited social media presence is tepid at best), and nothing about her on its website.
I trust no Hoosier gun owners will be surprised when she carries out her threat...
Maybe they think the Republicans will keep them safe…
Hey, I remember this story…
The Feb. 2026 issue of Firearms News, with my “FOP and IACP Show ‘Only Ones’ Arrogance…” column on page 10, is now available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic.
Of course, you could always subscribe…
Meanwhile, Over on the Other Side of the Equation:
The editor just forwarded an email from corporate:
I just received a call from [redacted] and he said that he was not going to renew his subscription because David Codrea is always spouting anti-Trump rhetoric and is a liberal in disguise.
Funny. He never said what I got wrong.
Another angry reader canceled over this.
Hey, at least they didn’t call me a Trojan Horse…
Related UPDATE
Here’s the official issue announcement.
I woke up to the “429 Too many requests” error message this morning and could not access the site. Not the first time this has happened…
I contacted tech support and they “cleared the server end cache and killed the background process to resolve the issue.”
I’d say lemme know if you’re experiencing this issue, but if you’re reading this, you’re not.
I’ll be out Monday. Please hold off on sending news tips until I signal my return on Tuesday, otherwise it will probably be a wasted effort on your part.
Stop Idaho Federal Constitutional Convention Resolutions HCR 23 and HCR 25 [More]
It would help if they had a date on this and ID’d who the Republicans pushing this are.
I can’t believe anyone representing himself as a “conservative” is still backing this nonsense. It’s tantamount to a proclamation that they can come up with magic words to control communists, and that the same Democrat states that ignore SCOTUS on Bruen with impunity will suddenly fall in line.
Look who wants to send armed men to come for your guns. [Watch]
I’d be interested in knowing who this spoiled child is and why he believes his opinion matters to any men. Anybody know? Does he have a following?
Actually, what I find most disturbing is the amount of gun owners fixated on “10 minutes,” like that’s the issue here.

We already saw it wouldn’t leave.
In addition to their website’s “contact us” and “media inquiries” buttons being disconnected, replies their X posts are disabled. Like all gun control groups, they like preaching to the choir.
I’d argue “mob,” not “choir,” but it’s a valid observation. Check it out:
Their whole purpose, at least their stated one, is to “foster a collaborative community to ensure our policies are shaped by comprehensive input,” yet they shut off inputs from the very community they purport to speak for. At least we see what they mean when they say they’re “taking back the conversation.”
Tell us they’re AstroTurf phonies without telling us they’re AstroTurf phonies. Of course, the fact that they’ve been around for years now, gotten all kinds of free publicity, and have only amassed 11K X followers in all that time, an unknown percentage being the people whose comments they muzzle, is our first clue.
The reason for the censorship, of course, is clear– every time they post something they get their @$$e$ handed to them in the ratioing, but that just goes to confirm they’re false fronts. The gun groups don’t have to do that and have more than enough supporters to drown out trolls or take them on on their own turf.
That pretty much proves out one other comment: Yes, in addition to being frauds, they’re cowards.
Republican women are 14% more likely to own guns than Democrat men. [More]
That may not be a fair metric since one party knows how to define genders. Still, it’s telling.
And it also illustrates why new gun owners are nothing to crow about.
In terms of total numbers, I wouldn’t be starting any civil wars if I were that outgunned…
This is obviously a clumsy attempt at stirring the pot and creating divisions between the administration and Second Amendment supporters. [More]
So… are trolls just doing it for kicks, or is there something more insidious at play here?
Cleared: The Palestine Action six whose raid on defence firm left woman police officer with a fractured spine [More]
Some aren’t taking the news very well.
Maybe if they weren’t willing to arrest their countrymen for social media posts there’d be a little more sympathy.
And as for the commies, they’ll get theirs. I don’t believe any of them will reach the end of the trail being anything but frustrated and miserable if they never repent.
